What film did you watch last night?

Dr Strange 2: Multiverse of Madness - 7/10
Enjoyed this more than I was expecting, the horror theme was refreshing for Marvel and it was a fairly gripping and twisty ride throughout.

Spoiler

And some brutal deaths!

Watched See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989) last night. Last time I watched it was when it was released. It was brilliant. Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor were so good together.
Some truly laugh out loud moments.
8/10

The lady in that film. Oooh lala.

I only got halfway through Heat and walked out of the cinema (well, it was a staff showing, so would have been close to 2am and my bed was more appealing to me than the movie.) Maybe I'll give it another go, but I recall it just being such a slow movie...

Please go back to it and give it another try, it's a fantastic film, excellent consistent writing, stellar performances, action that puts many modern movies to shame and a great soundtrack - I would say try and do it in one if you can, yes it's 3 hours but it will fly by.

I can understand why you'd find it slow late at night but it's really not, it's well paced and culminates to a mid point of one of the best action scenes ever put onto film before a very tense build to the end.

I can't say enough good things about the movie - it'd be sitting firmly in any top 10 list I made of best movies without hesitation - i've probably watched it at least once every 2/3 years since it came out.

Yeah, maybe... but...

Jeez, I've not seen the first 9 yet, so might have to get on that first (Also, love that it's Tom Gun )

Everything Everywhere All At Once - 9/10
Insanity caught on film. From the people who brought you Swiss Army Man, which, if you enjoyed that, you'll know what to expect, and if you haven't seen that then strap the hell in. Bonkers.

Men.

Awful. 1/5

That bad

Saw it was an Alex Garland and thought it would be good.

Just finished Hustle on Netflix... Really enjoyed it, definitely recommended.

I liked ex machina and 28 weeks later, so not averse to his directing style, but it was a complete and total mess of a film. A real disappointment considering the quality of the lead actors and the film’s potential.

Afaik, he only directed Ex Machina and Annihilation and a writing credit for 28 Days Later - he also ghost directed Dredd but couldn't be credited due to weird Hollywood guild requirements.

A google shows he also did Devs which is a brilliant series.

I've not seen anything about Men but typically if Garlands name is attached to anything, I want to see it. Shame this doesn't sound great

Sorry, my mistake, he contributed screenwriting to 28 weeks later, didn't direct.

I think if you're a big fan of his work then it's worth judging on its own merit rather than just listening to me, but in my view it was muddled and drawn out in a lot of places. Your mileage may hopefully vary!!

Just watched Lost Boys for first time... Classic 80s cheese but still fun

Both good films. Ex Machina is one of those films you only watch once though.
28 Months Later needs to hurry up!

28 Years Later | Horror

28 Years Later: Directed by Danny Boyle. Plot under wraps. The third film in the "28 Days Later" franchise.

[Shamikebab]

I didn't even know that was happening, bit late for a third part! Should have waited for 28 years later

Edit: Oh seems like it isn't happening.

 

[GlitterBalls]

Big sad. Oh well, least we had the first two. They are a guilty pleasure of mine. Love how they shot the opening scenes in the first one with a bleak and desolate London.

 

[arc@css]

I'd love to see a new one in the series (28 days/weeks...) but there's been little if any news for ages.

I love those sorts of movies.

 

[AndyCr15]

Watched Revenge of the Sith (Ep III) as I was advised to watch it again before starting on Obe Won. It's a pretty basic film, with a pretty basic script and storyline, but of course, does a good job of bringing things together for ROTJ.

 

[Dr David Reed]

Finished The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and then I, Robot because apparently I'm in a bad CGI, early 00s type of mood this week.

 

[Richie]

Mad Max series is now on Prime so I started off with number 1 last night. Not the best movie (low budget) but it kicks off the series.
