Speedo Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 2 hours ago, Kay said: To The Bone - 8/10 I was worried about watching a film about anorexia because I'm a fat fatty and the whole concept is alien to me but the trailer was good, and it was written and directed by Marti Noxon who worked on Buffy so I was intrigued (as I have yet to meet someone who is more weirdly obsessive with that show than me). It was fucking good, it was funny, it was emotional and it didn't glamorise anorexia whatsoever. it had some wonderful shots and interesting audio choices that I appreciated, the only reason it isn't higher than an 8 is because it felt very '28 days / Girl, Interrupted' in the setting and style and there's other films like that... it goes with the territory of any addiction really and it's not like I dislike that as a concept, but the unoriginality of that setting kind of undermined the power of the message for me. My wife watched that the other day ... I sat on the couch next to her and pretended I wasn't watching it too. It was pretty okay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch. Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Watched The House last night. Was pretty funny in parts. Was a nice, easy watch. 7/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 So last night I watched Badlands. Great story, beautiful cinematography, brutal and beguiling - made me want to seek out more Malick. 8.5/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSandt Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Dunkirk. Fantastic film! Loud and visually stunning with none of the excessive length (Batman) or philosophical bullshit ("love transcends space and time" ugh) that plague Nolan's other films. Even the usual "homefront" stuff that often seeps into war films with shoehorned romances and useless female characters was completely absent in the film. Nothing is revealed about the characters' past, because why would any of it matter? It was also kinda interesting and effective that you never actually see any Germans, only their fighters and bullets. Also kinda depressing to watch it now on the eve of Brexit. So many were sacrified on the understanding that British liberty ultimately hinges on the preservation of liberty on the continent. And now they have stupid old folks shitting on the graves of British soldiers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Get out. Knew nothing except it was a horror. Man that was a unexpected movie. Liked it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vinegar Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Atomic Blonde. Fun and stylish, turn your brain of to enjoy for maximum effect, but I appreciate the stunts and the fact that it was real people doing the choreography and not videogame cgi characters bouncing around on screen.

Buddy Holly Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Shot caller - solid movie with a great cast 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theedge00 Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Dunkirk - Great action movie, with lots of suspenseful moments and gorgeous cinematography. But to be honest, it felt too long, and the ending was kinda cheesy. 7.5-8.0/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Suburbia 1996: one of those true 90s films, top notch dialogues and great performances throughout. Even if the film looks like it doesn't really go anywhere, it was so cool to watch. Giovanni Ribisi was great, his character (Jeff) and Steve Zahn's character (Buff) were also so look-alike to Billie Joe and Tre Cool back in the day haha Then a Carpenter's cult I never got the chance to see before, Big Trouble In Little China. I told my dad and he said: "You've never seen Big Trouble in Little China?!!!? How can I trust you now Elisa? How?" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 The Cobbler (2014) (B-) This is the Adam Sandler movie that everybody hated. Yeah, it's fucking crazy, but I weirdly enjoyed it? That ending is a bit much though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movie about a girl from South Korea who grows up with a giant GMO-produced pig that her grandfather was hired to raise by a GMO company. 10 years later they come back for it because it was the most successful GMO pig and she goes on a mission to get it back. Sounds weird I know, but it was a good movie. 8/10. Just watched it! Good movie! The story is rather straightforward, good vs bad is very black and white. Just a nitpick, but in several parts the soundtrack didn't really work. 7.5/10 Spoiler The final scene where Mija en Okja walk away from the slaughterhouse while the other animals are following them from behind the gate, really got to me. Very moving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very moving. Agreed! The thing I liked the most about it was that it was pretty quirky, which made the good vs bad theme not too tiring. My favorite part of the movie was the chase between the animal rescuers and the GMO company. Pretty funny! LOL at the girl who tried to take the selfie with Okja as she was destroying the store. Also the apathetic truck driver guy. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Trouble felt a bit too dated for me but The Thing, Escape from New York are absolute classics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Matrix trilogy, up on Netflix. Skipped a lot of 2 but Matrix: 9.7/10. Would be a 10, perfect movie, but hate that fly out to rock music ending with a passion.. Matrix Reloaded: 6/10. They took that fly out to rock music ending and made an entire film out of it. It's still entertaining, but feels like a cheese superhero movie instead of a raw interesting one. Matrix Revolutions: 6.5/10. Actually like this one better than Reloaded. It tries to go back to that raw grunge style, but then has the horrid mech machine battles no one cares about half the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 The Dark Tower (2017) (C) Felt like a movie for 12 year olds. In that context, I can see it having it's appeal and understand some of the direction they went in. Not so sure if that was the intended audience, but it felt like the movie had been gutted of what made TDT series so interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasa Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 I heard it was kinda lame. Which is disappointing. I love the books. i hope IT doesn't suffer the same fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I care about the book a lot! I haven't seen the original in full, just clips. Pennywise doesn't look scary in this remake though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
