OCH Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Godzilla vs. Kong Bloody pandemic! I shouldn't have to watch this for the first time on a small screen. For all it's problems, King of the Monsters was an enhanced experience via IMAX. Mini rant over. Anyway... Did I like this? Yes, yes I did. There are about four to six human characters too many. Both returning humans from KOTM, for example. Simply didn't need to be there and don't add anything to the overall plot. In this film however, the three lead humans aren't as insufferable as the last. Kong and Godzilla are well represented. Their fights carry the right amount of weight and impact to be very engaging. I personally got more out of Godzilla and King Ghidorah's battles though, but I am biased towards the Space Dragon. Although I do love all three Monsters and I liked Kong a lot more in this than the Skull Island film, too. There isn't actually that much more going on, Monster-wise, in this one either. It is mostly just the titular two on show. Alongside only two plotlines, giving the humans something to do. How much the pandemic altered the course of this film is likely unknown. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmmark Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I watched Mortal Kombat (2021). It’s good. Has a strong opening but takes a dive 1/3 in and becomes slow. Final 3rd tho picks back up and is a lot of fun overall. Everyone was alright. I can see people hating on it unrealistically because it’s quite low budget and with that comes lower quality actors. But they all played it well I thought. Raiden was probably the worst character just because he looks like a perfume model in their 30s. Really should have cast someone older. Some good use of known music from the franchise too. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryokutai Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Cinema closure really shows its effects, I haven't seen a single one of these movies ─ though I have been eyeing at Apple TV for a while now to check out Wolfwalkers. Oh well, they're not running away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryokutai Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 It's that background noise with moving pictures in those big rooms where the people behind you give you foot massages, the people in front of you make an epileptic lightshow with their phones while those next to you make some excellent popcorn crunching noises in stereo. Really a feast for the senses that I very much miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The only one I've seen is Mank and I thought is was dreary. But those movies about movies do tend to go down well with the Oscar crowd. I've been meaning to get round to Sound of Metal but I will soonish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soul is literally the only one of those I'd even heard of. Normally make a point of seeing at least a handful of the noms during Oscar season. But without cinemas and as fractured as the releases have been over various streaming services, this is the first year in a while I've been so out of the loop with films.

DisturbedSwan Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I’ve only seen two of the Best Picture nominees in Promising Young Woman and The Trial of the Chicago. Both were excellent. Nomadland is out on Disney+ this Friday in the UK, really looking forward to that one. Really want to see Sound of Metal too but haven’t managed to convince the missus yet, same with Mank. The rest I’ll rent at some point or maybe see at the cinema in the case of The Father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I’ve seen Nomadland and Minari. I’m happy for Youn Yuh-Jung winning best supporting actress for Minari, she was excellent in that film and she gave a great acceptance speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I watched Violation on Shudder which is the best streaming service no one talks about and that’s FACT! It’s very wonderfully shot but also quite awfully disturbing. Recommended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I've watched a couple of pretty good films recently. Minor Premise, I think I need to rewatch, but I really enjoyed it. It's about a neuroscientist who is a bit in his dad's shadow. He's clearly a bit damaged and anxious, does his lectures remotely. In the course of pushing his research he starts to experiment on himself, and as a consequence starts losing time, things have been done he doesn't remember doing I don't want to spoil too much of it, not because there's a massive twist, just that it's a good film I also watched The Look Like People, which is described on Nowtv as this generations Donnie Darko, which it isn't, but it is a good film and it does a good job of recreating the feel of paranoid delusions. Anyway, really recommend both 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Watched a lot of films recently. I watched Nomadland in the cinema. It was good, but not great. I would give it a 7 or 8 out of 10, similar to Minari. But I think I preferred Minari. And I watched a bunch of films on Netflix: Cuties Green Inferno I, Tonya Ichi the Killer Ip Man The Other Side of the Wind Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story Seoul Station I recommend all of them really. Green Inferno is a horror gore-fest but watchable. Ichi the Killer is a yakuza gore-fest but kind of fascinating (and very weird). The rest are all good movies. Rolling Thunder Revue is a very good documentary about a tour I knew nothing about. The Other Side of the Wind is an excellent reconstruction of an Orson Welles film that he never completed while he was alive. If I could only recommend one film from the list I would recommend that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I watched The Mole Agent today. I was about to rent it on Prime but then found it free on iPlayer. I absolutely loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
