Coherence
8/10

A fantastic, relatively low budget mind bending film. Well worth a watch.

Brillant film, and very clever.

Eliminators (1986) - another vid rental from the 80s. With a term like 'Mandroid' a cyborg who is sometimes half-man half BigTrak and that Tasha lass from ST:TNG how could it fail? Bonkers scientist wants to travel back in time and become the new caesar.

Ha I remember seeing that as a kid, as you say bonkers!


I ended up watching Moonfall last night, I had low expectations, very low expectations....but oh boy those were still set too high.

Seemed to be a poor mash-up of Independence Day (1996) and Armageddon (1998) with Lexus advert thrown in for good luck. It stank, 2/10.
 
You can still enjoy a movie but think its trash. :) In the case of grey man it lacked any level of personality, its formulaic, its a very very tired plot been done so many times, Gosling plays a humourless plank of wood with some fighting skills.

I enjoyed it, but it was trash. :cry:
 
Dual 6/10
Was expecting a straight sci-fi film with this, but not quite sure what I got. Kind of similar stilted delivery of dialogue as Lanthimos films, but some of the dark humour fell a little flat. Ending was a little off too.

Overall I quite enjoyed it, especially Aaron Paul's role as a combat trainer. Oh and it's probably worth an extra point for Karen Gillan :D

She's not the reason I watched this, no sir.
 
Thief (1981)

I have been meaning to watch this film for ages despite James Caan's recent passing. Caan was one of those few actors that oozed charisma like Connery, throw a punch, fire a gun, a man's man so to speak. Heralded as one of Caan's greats but rarely shown on TV so I bought the DVD. One of Michael Mann's early films and a blueprint for Heat (1995). 7/10.

Talking of which, another macho legend; Richard Burton in the Medusa Touch (1978). An unknown horror film, akin to The Omen, a spooky tail about a man who can cause death.

Whilst it had Burton's intensity, it lacked so much and despite Burton's efforts, missed the real shiver down the spine. A shame, as a really intriguing concept. 6/10.
 
Where the Crawdads Sing

Had no knowledge of the book, plot, or anything surrounding the film. I enjoyed it. I don't usually go for drama in this sort of format (bit romancy), but it was a welcome change from the usual horror / thriller / marvel stuff I've seen a lot of lately.

No me neither. I was just surprised you couldn't understand why people thought it wasn't great... (I feel like we've been here before :p)

I think being entertaining and being good can be two separate things.

Not so much its a "Bad film".....its just with a budget of about 200mill ya gotta wonder just how it wasn't better etc.
To frame it another way, Mission Impossible Fallout was a budget of $178 Million. Thiers is a STUNNING difference in locations, action and settings etc there.
 
Joyride (2022) - 3/10

A mediocre coming of age drama which shows the turmoil of unconventional family life through rural Ireland.

Good acting from the leads, especially the scenes with Colman struggling to bond with her baby, but the story is told rather messily and the film is uneven, rushing initially and dragging in the final act.

Some of the imagery is good, others is just plain weird and it’s not particularly clear what story it wants to tell.
