radiofloyd Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Watched Doctor Sleep yesterday. On an artistic level, of course it doesn’t hold a candle to The Shining, but in terms of being an enjoyable piece of entertainment, I’d say that it was pretty good. It helps that I watched it with a pretty girl. For the second time in a row I’ve been shocked by the age rating of a movie. I couldn’t believe Joker was 15s and I can’t believe Doctor Sleep is 12s either, pretty dark and violent movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisturbedSwan Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Really hoping this is good. Can't be worse than Spectre can it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I like the title font! Cool trailer, fingers crossed the film will be good as well, would be good for Craig to go out on a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Trailer wasn’t too exciting and makes out like you have to have done your research beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I saw skyfall was on Netflix but I don’t think they have any now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I am a mad Bond freak Fan, but I didn't see anything GREAT in that trailer. They tried the female counterpart agent before, ironically in Brosnan's last Bond film Die Another Day, so that wasn't anything new either. Considering how bad they screwed up with Spectre, it is disappointing they are continuing with those plot threads. At this point, Daniel Craig has fallen into the same situation as Pierce Brosnan - Amazing first film with ever diminishing returns to follow.

radiofloyd Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Watched IT Part 2 last night. For me Part 1 was a mildly enjoyable 6/10 film, and I’d say Part 2 is worse, so probably a 5/10. Gets a bonus point for the wonderful scene with Spoiler Stephen King Which has to be one of the greatest cameos in movie history, for me anyway. I’m pretty sure nobody in the audience I was with knew who he was. There were some other great scenes too, but after 3 hours it all blurs into one. To be fair, the movie has a kind of Lord of the Rings, Jumanji (Robin Williams original) classic adventure film feeing that I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 The Call Girl of Cthulhu (2014) A shlock horror cheesy homage to the Troma type horror films of the 80s with a Lovecraft inspired plot and numerous references. A fun 90 minute throwback to the 'so terrible it's good' genre - you can experience the whole film for yourself on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimboxy Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Looks like a very different take on Ghostbusters. Not sure if it's a good thing or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 More or less a whole film dedicated to the legacy of the Best Ghostbuster? I'm in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I'm more down with them turning it in to a kids film than what they did with the last one. It doesn't look especially Ghostbusters to me, but if you told me this was 'Ghostbusters: The Next Generation' then this looks like what I'd imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Watched the anime film “Penguin Highway”. It’s a long film with a slow pace (occasionally too slow) but it’s very charming and the music is lovely. I’m gonna buy the novel and try to read it.

mfnick Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 6 Underground Holy fuck that was terrible. As some of you know, brainless action films are my favourite. I’ve struggled with Bay films since the excellent Bad Boys 2 but found them at least watchable. But this is just straight shit. I really, really struggled to get through it. The action scenes were actually boring! So much slow motion! Even the Continuity errors were very obvious and I never notice those usually. and explosions you can see before the car or whatever impacts whatever explodes. The constant cutting was even more headache inducing than normal. & the story was so nonsensical I had no idea what was going on, why stuff was happening or why people were where they were for the most part. Keep it simple, stupid. Honestly maybe the worst big budget action film I’ve ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyKurosaki Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I have a method for Michael Bay movies: ”Did Michael make it? If the answer is yes, avoid it like the fucking plague” Its worked out well for me so far. South Park absolutely nailed it when he was “consulted” in the ImaginationLand saga, where he just makes a load of explosion noises. And gets told “That isn’t story, that’s just special effects” ”I don’t understand the difference”. ”We know you don’t, Michael” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
