What film did you watch last night?
- Thread starter Richeh
- Start date
Hardly. People come in here looking to discuss films that are out (in the UK). Discussing films that are not out yet ruins the discussion and turns it into "oh is this out yet, where can I see it" nudge nudge wink wink nonsense. It's tedious. People are just upset and resorting to name calling because I've called them out on it.
I still added to the thread with my review of Midnight Sky.
This is a great movie. Very underrated!
Great I have that on my list.

Spent an afternoon at the cinema.
Watched a quiet place 2 not as good as the first but worth the watch 6.5
The conjuring devil made me do it again nor a bad watch but lacks from the previous ones 6.5

Wrath of Man
Forget the story.
What the hell is with the music? All the way through, intense orchestral strings playing literally all the way through and during scenes when there is nothing suspenseful on screen. Totally detracts from the film.
Story becomes quicky very predictable, apart from the very weird ending. I won't be watching it again.

Previous ones you mean Conjouring 1/2 or that Nun side quest?..Cause Nun was kinda bad but thought Conjouring 1 and 2 where good.
Siberia - 2/10
Seriously, what the hell was that? Was intriguing to start with, and then the whole thing turned out to be an utterly pointless waste of time. The netflix description was complete and utter lies.
Such an odd "story".

They Live (1988)
Not sure how I missed this before, loved it. 8/10. Would've been a 7 if it wasn't for the non stop fight scene.
Also I can't believe I thought the line from Duke Nukem was actually from Duke Nukem all this time!

Which was mostly real!

Cruella(off of Disney+ 
) watched with wife and daughter. Quite good fun, well made with some great visuals, reasonable performances throughout. 6.5/10

A Quiet Place 2
Watched this at the cinema.
Pretty much the same sort of things happen in this as the first one. For me there weren't and real scares, jumps or surprises.
Then again I doubt I would've gone to the cinema to watch it in the first place, had there been anything else of interest to me playing at the time. But we had tickets to use up before 3rd June, so we picked this.
6/10

Tenet - stopped about half way through. what a load of contrived tosh. 3/10........it gets those 3 points purely for the concept and Robert Pattinson - i quite liked him in this, could maybe see him as a bond one day? lead actor is all sorts of awful, imo.
interstellar - good solid 7/10 right up til the schmaltzy, floating in a parallel dimension 'library' talking to a Hal 9000 clone cause we've run out of ideas/budget/whatever, malarkey

I watched Tenet a few weeks back. I'm a big fan of Christopher Nolan, but for me this one crossed a line.
The central idea of it is just contrived nonsense....at least Inception fundamentally 'worked' as an idea. Tenet...just....meh. Rubbish. Didn't rate the performances much, or the pacing.
Watching Mare of Easttown atm (Guy Pearce) has got me wanting to rewatch Memento though.....
Now thats a film. I’d rarely score a film 10/10 but that’s one of the few that deserves it.
Tenet. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6723592/
Something like this should be up my street but like Inception, it's probably going to take several attempts for me to warm to.
Interestingly, both movies have the same writer/director. Next time, I'll probably start watching it a bit earlier in the day.

The Fountain. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0414993/
Somehow I managed to see it all the way through which doesn't surprise me as films with abstract delivery usually do appeal, though not always.
I guess I must have been in the right frame of mind for it and although I found it a little hard to follow at times, ultimately I think overall it's a pretty decent and actually quite interesting movie.
One of the best performances I've seen Hugh Jackman give.
