What film did you watch last night?

[Gerard]

The Irishman. 9/10. Seriously enjoyed this. Even if it is a slow burner mob flick. Great acting despite age constraints etc.

Theres one scene in that movie thats comical and how it got shot and remained that way is baffling. Deniro going to the shop and pulls out the shopkeeper who pushed his daughter and admisters a comical looking kicking. You have glass on a door that appears to break for no real reason (apparently bread or the shopkeeperss head hit it), and a mid 70's deniro trying to act like a guy in his 30's dishing out a booting whilst stumbling around like an old man trying to keep his balance. I find it baffling how that was shot that way and they were ok with it, instead of using digital face replacement on a stuntman to do it, the scene was filmed at a bit of a range so using cg would have been an option.

For anyone that hasn't see it, youtube under "deniro beating man who pushed his daughter".

It's a film, not real life. You understand that right? The suspension of disbelief.

I enjoyed it. 8-10

Funny that as its the one scene everyone brings up as being so bad in the movie, and it could easily have been done differently.

Nothing to do with with suspension of disbelief, just a badly shot scene.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople - 8/10

We found it funny, interesting and entertaining!

This. And from a film maker of Scorsese's calibre is just bizarre.

I'm only guessing but i wonder if perhaps De Niro pushed to do that scene himself.

 

[Shamikebab]

I'm not really sure what to give Don't Look Up. I enjoyed the first 30 mins or so then it kind of meandered for a while and then it got better.

There were definitely some good scenes, some funny characters but overall it was just too long for what it was.

If he did then he should be embarrassed, it's so "doddery old man" looking it's cringey. Even the way he kicks in the scene it's like he's attempting to keep his feet off the ground for the shortest time possible in case he falls over.

 

[Syore]

Malignant. Plot was OK. I wish they made it abit scarier.

 

[Adam-r]

Don't look up - thought it was good. Other half hated it.

 

[Drangueos]

Not last night but over the last few days:

Ghostbusters Afterlife - as an adult I give 5.5/10 - Probably if I was much younger I would give a higher score, the last 20 minutes were great tho.

Don't look up - 7/10

 

[Malevolence]

The Borderlands (2013). 6.5/10

Not a bad little creepy 'found footage' movie.

The Midnight Sky (2020) - 6/10

I really don’t know if this is a good film or not.

It’s slow going and somewhat atmospheric with good special effects and the premise was interesting, but it doesn’t have much of a story to tell.

The groups deal with their isolationism and willingness to survive with such professionalism there’s not much drama and the few events they do have to overcome is done relatively easily.

The acting was good, but it was hard to bond with any of the characters.

Lady Macbeth. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4291600/

Aside from Florence Pugh's beauty, this appealed to me as I thoroughly enjoyed Midsommar and fancied checking out something else with her in the main role.

I found it a slow and somewhat unenjoyable start but maybe due to tiredness, I didn't bother to switch it off and gradually began to be drawn in by it.

A somewhat unexpected and possibly a bit of a sudden ending but overall, well-worth seeing.

Red Rocket, the trailer sold it better than what it was (less humorous) but still entertaining, quite the dark under story below the layers. Pretty decent cinematography though

Yup, shocking film.

Don’t look up - 7/10 - entertaining enough, although a little too silly for me at times and a little drawn out. It was good background TV. I’d say I mostly enjoyed the first and last 30 minutes or so.

Bit soulless, and ultimately depressing. Well made though looks great. But it can't carry the movie.

I watched the Wrath of Man. It started well but most of it was utterly predictable. Watchable though if a bit dark. Soundtrack was very atmospheric. The best part of the film. Young Eastwood is ok but you want him to have more charisma. Statham is a darker version of... Well Statham.
