What film did you watch last night?

[PaulB]

Downsizing. Matt Damon and some others. Unusual. 6/10.

The Resistance Banker (2018) on Netflix.
Grim (true) story of the Van Hall brothers who plotted undercover to finance the Dutch Resistance.

 

[The Crofted Crest]

Shoplifters, a film written, directed, and edited quite beautifully by Hirokazu Kore-eda. It's thoughtful, thought-provoking, tragic, and funny, and it plays with your allegiances and sympathies from the opening shot. Japanese, with subtitles, which shouldn't put people off from giving it a look.

Oh, I'm going to see that tonight.

Hurt Locker. Watching it as I type. What a crock of %%%%. Typical gung ho type film. Sadly, my wife doesnt seem to mind it.

Watching this now. Some of the special effects have dated badly. Especially on Hoth.

But the film is very good.

Hope for your sake you fell asleep. Watched this with wife & munchkin major, back from college today. What a load of unspeakable dross. Just, brainless. Terrible script, no plot whatsoever, bucketloads of CGI, utterly gormless. Not even so bad it's kind of endearing...just, awful. No redeeming features whatsoever. The worst film I've seen all year, quite probably all millennium.

 

[Salty seadog]

Twin Town....again

 

[NorthernDave]

Three Billboards - brilliantly acted, simply excellent. If you haven't seen it yet, make time. 9/10

 

[PaulB]

The shape of water. That was weird. A 6/10 weird in a good-ish way.

 

[Rusty Nails]

American Psycho.

Interesting is the only word I can use to describe it.

 

[NorthernDave]

Aquaman - this has had very mixed reviews, so i wasn't expecting much but it's really rather good.
Better than Justice League, if not quite as good as Wonder Woman from the DC series and better than anything from the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a long time.

And it's stunning to watch - the CGI is spectacular, especially the underwater cities. Normally no matter how big the budget there are always a few ropey CGI moments (MCU series, I'm looking at you), but I didn't notice any in this and it's supported by a stonking soundtrack.

8/10

 

[Yellow Fang]

Lust for a Vampire. Not as good as The Vampire Lovers or the Twins of Evil.
