What film did you watch last night?

Halloween (2018) - 6/10.

(Separate thread details the less than satisfactory cinema experience.)

Wasn't a bad movie but it seemed to go for body count over the suspense and build up of the original. Almost too much going on and sub-plots purely designed to set the character up to be offed, a few minutes later. Jamie Lee Curtis seemed to play her part as kind of a hybrid between Ripley from the Alien movies and Sarah Connor. More gore than the original, with the scene where a major character

Spoiler

gets their head squished by MM's boot

a bit too much even for me and probably why it was an 18 not a 15.

Bohemian Rhapsody 9/10 simply amazing film if you love queen. Rami Malek was amazing as freddie.

Hunter Killer 9/10 really great action film but will admit I love most things with Gerard butler in them. Fans of cold war type films or sub films will like it and action fans will find it has a decent pace.

My wife just asked me if wanted to go and see this when I am home, I do like a bit of Queen. Cheers for the heads up.

Watched the remake of Papillion last night, with Rami Malek in it, not bad 7/10 original was superior but this is pretty good.

Is Bohemian Rapsody another case of Venom where critics dislike but general public mostly like?

Was dissapointed to see a lot of negative reviews in the press but a few have said ignore and go and watch?

Might go see on Monday when Vue has v. cheep tickets...

Glad to hear the Queen film is decent - looking forward to seeing it

Last night I watched :

Joe Rogan: Strange Times - 8/10

I enjoy listening to his podcast and this was just as good as his other standup specials that I’ve seen. I understand he’s not for everyone, but he cracks me up The first half is definitely better than the second half though.

Wild - 6/10

After seeing a pic of some dude who crossed the PCT, and reading more about it, I was entrigued.

The film turned out to be a bit average - The acting was decent, but I found the story to be a bit “Meh”.

The Sinner......the main actress looks like a modern day Sissy Spacek/Carrie

 

[Uncle Petey]

And your opinion of it was?

Hereditary - 4/10

Sorry but I fall into the haters with this one. Far from being shocked or haunted by the grisly scenes, I was laughing out loud. Definitely feel the last 15 mins made no sense, who was alive, who was dead, was it the spirit world?

Agreed. I've had to look up the ending as I couldn't make any sense of it. Might re-watch the last bit for the luls

Totally confused me as well, pretty poor movie, had some potential but fell away.

This a TV show, not a movie

Of course it is.....funny thing was, I started watching it in bed and half asleep, so I thought it was a feature movie at first...then I realized it was a series. I enjoyed it quite a lot.

I loved this TV series. It's not the same 'ol 'franchising CGI' rubbish you get so much of these days. Jessica Biel is so cool as Cora....she reminds me of Sissy Spacek with her long hair and mysterious attitude. I'm sure I'll watch the other episodes as well

 

[Fluffybob]

Incredibles 2 fun from pixar made me giggle 6/10

I loved the first season, not watched the second yet, but its on my list.
