What film did you watch last night?

[Shamikebab]

Was in the mood for a dreadful b-movie style horror film tonight, and once I saw the synopsis for Margaux I couldn't resist.

Are you too, afraid of new technologies like A.I., Smart Homes and...3D Printing?
Do you want a cast of characters that can be summed up by a 3 word stereotype?
Do you want to hear the original voice of Siri saying "I got you girlfriend"?
Do you want to see some of the worst CGI you have ever seen in a modern movie?

Well then this is the film for you!

7/10 as a dreadful horror film (kills were kind of boring, characters were abysmal, CGI was painful)
2/10 as an actual film

Grave of the Fireflies (on Netflix)

Animated film from Studio Ghibli about two young children in Japan dealing with life in WW2.

My first time seeing this. Yup, it lives up to its reputation as being a heartbreaker. Very sad.

I loved the animation - such detailed backgrounds against (comparatively) very minimalistic characters.

Well worth a watch… although, uh, maybe not at a party.

9/10

Glad your finally experienced it. Remember watching this as a kid and I was distraught in the final act. One of first anime's that made me upset.
