philipsteak Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Really enjoyed David Copperfield. Would imagine it's got the purists up in arms but it's good fun. Some excellent performances. Think the stand out was Daisy May Cooper. Which when you consider who she was up against is pretty impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah went to see it yesterday after avoiding any real plot details and loved it. Worth all of the hype and acclaim it’s been getting over the past year.

I'm tempted to go myself, would you say it's a film that needs to be seen in the cinema? Worth pointing out that i have no idea what the film is about. I read the first line of a review and it said it's best to go in blind, so I've tried to keep it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy one Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 I listened to the hype and watched the Joker the other night. It's very dark and depressing but I was very impressed by Joaquin Phoenix's performance. It was very raw and real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story wasn't anything original or unique though, for me the real stand out was Joaquin, and i'm really glad he got the Oscar for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlierc Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Recently seen 1917 and Parasite. In different ways, both were really good. Also saw Widows on TV yesterday, which was solid but felt like it tried to do too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parasite is an absolute masterpiece. I wish I could go into it again not knowing anything, but at the same time I can't wait to watch it again to pick up on all the hidden details.

fred quimby Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 recently seen Jo Jo Rabbit - Enjoyed that great fun, Mrs Q though nearly fell asleep Knives out - Great Sunday morning watch Parasite - Brilliant.

ian the worm Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Having discovered that I can get half price cinema tickets through work, I set myself the target of watching 24 films in 12 months. 5 weeks in I’ve seen 2017, Rhythm Section and Parasite all of which I’ve enjoyed immensely. Just before I set this target I was forced to complete last years target (12 in 12) with just one weekend to go..... Jo Jo Rabbit, Little Women, The Gentlemen and Knives Out were seen in one week. Having avoided most films for decades I’m rather enjoying this new found habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred quimby Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Uncut Gems on Netflix. Really enjoyed it. Had a massive loathing for the Adam Sandler character, which he played brilliantly. Certainly was not expecting the ending though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipsteak Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Not sure "enjoyed" is the word I'd use, but it was very good. Felt totally drained at the end. When he makes an effort he can be such a good actor. Makes it all the more frustrating that most of his stuff is just such shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Went in to Uncut Gems with high expectations and left thinking it was brilliant. The finale was so tense - really good filmmaking. And agree on Sandler; can be a great actor when he wants to be, but unfortunately there’s a lot of money to be made with his silly films so he’ll keep making them.

rock the clock Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 I think he enjoys doing the stupid stuff tbh and I can't blame him, there's money in it and it's quite low effort. Between Uncut Gems + Punch Drunk Love alone his CV is better than most actors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipsteak Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Nothing wrong with silly. Or even stupid. They are just so lazy. Although that's a bit hypocritical of me I suppose, I'm also very lazy at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was having problems trying to get people to come with to watch it. Shame though - I was well up for a trip to see it alone, especially as it means I could pick a cheaper cinema. I guess I see the reason - it needs to make something like $700M to make back MGM's huge outlay on it, and its not going to make that back with cinemas across Europe and Asia being closed. But if nothing underlines how big a threat this is to entertainment beyond big gigs or sports event, its surely that.

Years ago I saw Click and I enjoyed it, but I think that was because I was 14 when I saw it and I was in the demographic for it then. Reluctant to watch it now because I think I'd hate it and it'd kinda ruin that memory. Especially given the likes of Jack & Jill, That's My Boy and various others looked unwatchable.

TheGayTent Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 The new Bond is bound to be poor isn’t it - if only because Craig is far too old for the role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware there is precedent tbf. A View to a Kill was done when Roger Moore was 57, and many said he was too old then, while Daniel Craig turns 53 on Monday. Although I liked Spectre overall - bit messy and not as good as Casino Royal or Skyfall but engaging enough. Of late, some of his better work has been in other stuff. He was pretty good in Logan Lucky and really good in Knives Out. Edited March 7, 2020 by charlierc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGayTent Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Moore was too old by Moonraker let alone AVTAK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 I saw Knives Out and it's really good, however I was looking forward to a murder mystery and trying to work out who did it but that isn't this movie, its more like Columbo in that sense.
