What film did you watch last night?

[checjb]

"Ghost" (1990!) and "Roadhouse" (1989!!). Classics both.

Badabok, kinda horror movie but more a story of dealing with loss and depression manifested.

 

[AndyCr15]

I've been listening to a lot of Dax Sheppards podcasts (Armchair Expert) so I thought I'd check one of his movies...

Hit and Run - 8/10

Maybe I'm slightly generous with that rating, but I found myself smiling through quite a lot of the movie. It's nothing particularly clever or different, I just think it's done quite well.

Soul

So, SO close to being Pixar's best. There's just a few hiccups in the screenplay and tone from time to time which took me out of it a little. Stunning to look at though and that OST is ridiculously good, been playing it for days now.

Going to plan a day soon where we back to back Inside Out, Coco and this. All seem like they'd gel really nice thematically.

The Getaway. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068638/

I've not really seen any of McQueen's films so I'm watching a few at the moment, with this being the first on the list.

One or two moments in it seemed familiarly welcome and overall I enjoyed it quite a lot actually. Well worth seeing.

Ali MacGraw was a very beautiful woman back in the day.

Dr. Strange. For some reason I really like this one and not the usual Marvel fanfare. 8/10.

Thor Ragnarok. Is pretty funny but over did it at some points. Still gice it an 8/10 purely for Kate blanchet looking amaze balls with black hair and a cat suit

 

[Super-Spy]

The Old Guard

Enjoyed this last night. Nice bit of action, mainly courtesy of the always watchable Charlize Theron. Highlander without the 'there can only be one' plot line.

Spoiler: Mild Spoiler

There will almost definitely be a follow on film based on the ending.

7/10

 

[Shamikebab]

I liked The Old Guard, it was nothing ground breaking but Theron is one of those actors that can carry a film.

 

[nands]

The Hunt - wasn't noted as a comedy but I found it pretty funny, 12 rednecks dumped in the wilderness and then hunted by rich people. I liked the lead a lot, Betty Gilpin. 3/5

 

[Robzere31]

Die Hard - 8/10

Just wouldn't be Christmas without it

Love this film, agree, MacGraw is a very attractive woman. McQueen made some excellent films, you are in for a treat. I have The Hunter to watch (last film McQueen made in 1980) very rarely if ever, shown on TV. Always wanted to see.

The remake of The Getaway (1994) with Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin is not too shabby.

300
Very entertaining.

I give this film 240 out of 300.

Thanks, I'll checkout the 1994 version.

Project Power. A possibly generous 3/10

 

[Nabeshogun]

Tenet, I actually thought it was pretty great.

I went in with low expectations because of the comments here (and maybe that helped it actually be more enjoyable, haha) saying things like it was over-complex... and maybe I'm missing something, but it seemed fairly easy to follow, I thought the way the different bits flowed against one another was really interesting... my complaint would be that they made some stuff pretty obvious so you'd see it coming before it was revealed, but then I did guess some stuff that didn't happen (but I supposed technically might still be true) ...

Spoiler

like I thought the floppy haired guy would turn out to be her son

But yeah, all in all it was a great watch, and I'm glad I didn't rush seeing it but waited until I'd actually have the energy to focus on watching it.

 

[Super-Spy]

Fantasy Island
Movie version of the 80s TV series. Leave your logic at the door as it delves into 'fantasy' - 5/10

Underwater
Oceanic version of Alien. OK if you want an action movie one evening - 5/10

 

[Scam]

The Rhythm Section - 6/10

As most reviews state, it could be a lot better. It felt quite slow and although there was a few decent action pieces and tense scenes, they felt too few and far between. That said it was perfectly enjoyable and glad we gave it a whirl. Also, Jude Law wasn't incredibly annoying for once which is saying something!

 

[antijoke]

Soul 9/10

Damn, this hit me hard for some reason. Must be my old age but it really spoke to my, well soul, fantastic film.

Soul 9/10

Damn, this hit me hard for some reason. Must be my old age but it really spoke to me.

Yeah I thought this was fantastic.

 

[Kevin Muncer]

Just watching and never seen before The Lady Killers (1955) Didn't quite know what to expect, had heard about the newer version with Tom hanks in, but didn't know the full story.
Little old lady premise, bumbling criminals and a lot of comedy, and a great ending where she's going to buy at least a dozen new umbrellas! 8/10
