What film did you watch last night?

[ZXSpectrum]

I watched Knives Out. I personally thought it was a great murder mystery and bought back memories of watching Columbo, which I am sure it was heavily inspired by. It was a fun, twisty mystery romp with some great characters. 9/10 mainly because of the nostalgia and fun.

The Gentlemen - 9/10

Absolutely fantastic!

The Peanut Butter Falcon - 7.5 / 10

Really enjoyable feel good movie about a down syndrome young man who escapes a nursing home to pursue his dream of being a WWE wrestler on a Mark Twainesque road trip.

I watched kidulthood, adulthood and then anuvahood. Good films about the repercussions of been a kid n violence.

Wind River - 8/10
Not sure how this passed me by at the cinema, really enjoyed it.

Thanks, now got a movie from Fri night.

You forgot Brotherhood mate, the actual conclusion of the hood trilogy.

Well spotted and indeed I did! That’s going to get watched tonight.

The trilogy peaks with Adulthood imo, don't get too excited about Brotherhood.

I know Anuvahood is a parody but it's painfully close to the truth about Adam Deacon and his ensuing mental breakdown.

Wind River is a good film. Well worth watching.

Yesterday I saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7131622/

I love a Tarantino movie and I'm glad I finally got around to watching the whole thing through because,
as much as I enjoyed the earlier part of the film, for me, it got better as it went on.

I can't really explain it but during the first third or so of the film,
I was struggling to see what the main focus of the whole thing was or where it was going.
Glad I saw it all now. I really liked Pitts's character and the lovely Margot Robbie, of course (even though she's a rather lean lass).

Damn I never knew this news! - http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/artic...ed-from-contacting-noel-clarke-after-trolling true.

Adam Deacon wasn’t in this one. I really enjoyed Brotherhood. Would recommend the whole 3 to anyone great films.

I've just watched Captain Fantastic, on iPlayer for another 29 days. Not a Marvel movie, or anything close. Didn't expect to watch it all the way through, but found it compelling in a slow, thoughtful kind of way. Might be a Viggo Mortensen thing... he has a brooding presence that adds depth to a role somehow. It's a bit more cheerful than The Road, thankfully, but it made me cry over a character you don't meet. That takes some doing really. 8/10.

@mrbell1984 Yeah, BH was made after all the trouble so wasn't a part of it.

If you like these kind of movies, check out Ill Manors, makes the "hood" trilogy look like a pre-school special, it's very dark and bleak.

Kick Ass - epic comedy about how not to be a superhero. Hit Girl obviously steals the show but who doesn't love a totally inappropriate 11 year old girl who kills all of the bad guys? 4/5

Will do. I would have thought the trouble was caused by Deacon not been in that film but the news article was from 2015 so couldn’t have been that.

EDIT: Damn that films brutal, pretty horrible!

Knives out
Gave up on this very early so won't rate it. Really just wasn't for me at all.

 

[SixTwoSix]

@mrbell1984 just happened to see your edit, you watched it then?

Quite an achievement as well for Ben Drew, aka Plan B who wrote and directed it and also made an album to accompany it.

So next on the list...Harry Brown?

Yeh I watched it. Pretty brutal. Was a little tense when they where trying to rescue the baby though. Not sure what's next but I'll check out Harry Brown whatever that is.

It touches on the same london broken Britain tropes but its Michael Caine as a pensioner who's had enough and goes a bit death wish.

Yea, Ill Manors was very good

Reminded me of a British version of Gran Torino, which was also excellent.

Joker - 4/10

I just don't get it, don't get the hype. Phoenix's performance was good but just served to carry an otherwise boring and generic film.

2 Hours of my life I honestly want back. Pacing was way too slow and just seemed to drag on.
