What film did you watch last night?

[slowmotion]

Gripping?! Had me gripping my buttocks for 100 minutes!

Yes, there were three or four times when I just had to look away.

Watched the second Fantastic Beasts yesterday, if they'd made it 20 minutes shorter it would have been a much better film, way too much unnecessary filling.

 

[Levo-Lon]

The Mummy Tom Cruise, not bad if you like this sort of thing

 

[Slick]

Stan & Ollie. A bit of a weak representation of an amazing subject but Steve Coogan was excellent as Stan. Probably left more unanswered questions but still worth a watch if like me you are a bit of a fan.

Hacked - not recommended
The Man - yeah mainly funny
Iron Man 3 - not recommended

 

[Drago]

The Sea Wolves.

Load of old tosh. Roger me Moore and Pregory Geck are very implausible action heroes. The plot is even more implausible.

2/10. Watch it solely so you can say you have seen it.

2036 Origin Unknown.
All very 2001ish. 4/10.

I'm not much of a film watcher, hence this being my first post in the thread...

We went to see The Favourite on Saturday night. Utter, utter sh1te!!! No story line, no pace, no humour.

I watched that the other day. Absence of any discernable plot was a major drawback for this one.

"Saturday Night and Sunday Morning". "....did you 'ere about that accident in the three speed shop dad"? Albert Finney knocking out 1,000 crank spindles a day at the Raleigh factory in 1960. He sounds a bit like Malcolm McDowell in "A Clockwork Orange" "bit of a pain in the gulliver mum".
Followed by "The ballad of Buster Scruggs". The first story has an unusual death inside a bar, one which had me laughing a little too much.

[QUOTE 5500533, member: 9609"]it certainly is - so much of it reminded me of my exploits when I cycled through the beast of the east last winter

2/10. Watch it solely so you can say you have seen it.

And yet based on a true story.

A bit of an opinion divider that one.

Good cinematography but I thought the plot was very thin and it was way too long a film. Left me feeling short changed after all the hype it received.

On the other hand my daughter raved over it.

I can see your issue, but where most superhero films fill time with endless action scenes, this film leaves huge pauses and empty space to reflect the landscape and the feeling of isolation. It is what makes the film an Oscar winner imo.

I watched Tommy last night on Amazon prime.

It has dated badly and is very OTT, but can you imagine any of todays bands attempting to pull off such an amazing work of art? It just shows how great they were and willing to push far beyond their comfort zones.
