wiivo 2.0 286 Report post Posted February 10 I watched The House That Jack Built. It was ok. The ending was unsatisfactory but for a super long film it didn’t feel like it ever became boring or out stayed it’s welcome. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DifferentClass 1,427 Report post Posted February 10 I also watched Overlord last night. I think I enjoyed it more than Ben as I thought it was a hoot. It is small scale but it's just a really well polished and performed B-movie. I also saw Velvet Buzzsaw recently. I think I enjoyed it. It's basically one of those films that plays with your expectations a lot. It looks like it's gonna be a horror film but it is more of a dark comedy, though I wish it went sillier with the deaths. I think I like it more after thinking about it but I spent the run time a little unsure. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo Xiii 2,036 Report post Posted February 10 I started watching Bohemian rhapsody last night. I'm really enjoying it, apperently it has no resemblance on actual events though. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RikSP 321 Report post Posted February 10 I watched Velvet Buzzsaw and really enjoyed it. Everyone plays their character at just the right side of parody without ever becoming a blatant caricature, and the premise is just silly enough to be entertaining. I definitely enjoyed the character interactions the most, and would have enjoyed it as a flamboyant American Psychoesque movie if the supernatural elements had been removed. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
one-armed dwarf 139 Report post Posted Monday at 10:46 Call it a "hot take", but I find something soulless about these Disney live action remakes. With the exception of Will Smith Genie it's got this sheen of an overcautious replica about it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blakey 1,835 Report post Posted Monday at 14:02 Oh god, here we go again. 🙄 Looks amazing to me, all the sniggering from folks over Will Smith’s genie get up can now button it as well 😘 I’ll be there just for the music really. I’m sure the film will be great too, all these Disney live action remakes have got great reviews and word of mouth. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
one-armed dwarf 139 Report post Posted Monday at 14:28 I think I would like to just see more risks taken with stuff like this. Like when Capcom did RE2, kept the old formula but completely changed everything else about how the game works. Closest I can see to something daring in that trailer is Will Smith doing a Will Smith Genie and not trying to channel Robin Williams. But when it's so carefully trying to rethread the path taken by the original (and getting bits sort of weirdly wrong like not-menacing Jafar) it feels redundant. Just a copy. Well it's not for me I suppose. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The genie looks terrible. It's good they haven't tried to recreate the Robin Williams performance, and that's the only good thing I can say. It reminded me of when they copy pasted the rocks head on to that Scorpion at the end of The Mummy 2. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blakey 1,835 Report post Posted Monday at 17:49 See you all after release when everyone’s ‘pleasantly surprised’ by it and I’m just like ‘told ya so’ 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blakey 1,835 Report post Posted Monday at 19:46 Seeing as you have a deep rooted disdain for everything Disney does @OCH I’ve no doubt you’ll dislike it no matter what 😂 Disney’s record with these remakes speaks for themselves. They’re pretty much as sure a thing as you can get. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As @one-armed dwarf said, these Live Action remakes are just soulless. I'm a realist, I don't waste my time trying to find the positive in everything. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
