SuperBacon Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Some from the past few days Whiplash Just mesmerising. JK Simmons is obviously impressive, but Miles Teller was excellent as well. The last 10 minutes are as exhilirating as cinema gets. I bet that sounded immense in the cinema. Girl On A Train An utter mess of a film. Emily Blunt was good, but I genuinely found this hard to follow. Dreadful. Josie & The Pussycats Delightful stuff. Any film with Rosario Dawson in it is improved by 300%, but this was all round winning performances. Fucking great songs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Josie & The Pussycats is great, yet nobody I know has ever seen it. It seems lost in that early 2000s fug. Big claim for them to be the best fictional movie band (bring it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I loved Josie And The Pussycats too. Â I thought it would be a teen flick about a band but it really isn't. Â Tara Reid was brilliant, you can see why she went on to great things like the Sharknado films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is essentially why 'Girl Next Door' and especially '40 Year Old Virgin' surprised me so much. Both were advertised as your typical sex comedies but both really delivered the goods on great jokes, engaging characters and a real solid story.

The full tracks from the soundtrack are on a little EP, it's ace. I'm throwing in The Lone Rangers in to this aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted October 19, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted October 19, 2018 Let us not forget Strange Fruit from Still Crazy. Â (but yeah, Stillwater all the way. Wish they were real! Add me to the Josie fan club as well, great little film, and yes, Sing Street is ace.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted October 19, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 19, 2018 Steel Dragon from RockStar has to be among the worse fictional bands. Turgid film, turgid music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still get goosebumps every time I watch Whiplash, it’s fucking phenomenal. If you (same goes for anyone else too) want to DM me your thoughts on it, i’ll include them on an upcoming bonus episode of my Inside Oz Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 19, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 19, 2018 So, saw Halloween and Hunter Killer today. Halloween is really good. It balances being its own, modern thing with being a faithful sequel very well indeed. There is one homage to the original that was really daft but by and large it's a really good, solid slasher. It won't change the genre like Get Out or The Witch could do but it's a crowd pleaser and a really good film. Really enjoyed it. Hunter Killer is probably the most surprisingly good film I've seen at the cinema since Jumanji 2. Expected nothing going in and got a three-pronged suspense action thriller that's really exciting and knows its limitations. It will probably get ignored / panned but it deserves neither.
