It wasn't even funny which is a shame because Batman was the best thing about The Lego Movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 16, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2018 Rewatched Blindspotting tonight. Perhaps even better on a rewatch. Definitely the main film from this year I'll be bullying everyone into watching. Also watched A Ghost Story. Not sure what I made of it, really, but Rooney Mara's a lightweight with that pie as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched it a week ago and it's stayed with me, rattling around in my head so the more I think about it, the more I like it. I particularly liked the anthology format of it, and only one of the stories felt a bit long for me (the Zoe Kazan one). I'd be interested to know what preference people had for each of the stories, because other than Buster himself, the Neeson/Harry Melling one was probably my favourite, but I don't think I'd be in the majority on that! It's no True Grit but they've got a love for the Western that really shines through during the whole film. Really interesting film this but I wasn't 100% sold on it at about half way through and longed for Inside No 9. But by the end I absolutely loved it and you are spot on with it lingering with you. I'd say I had the opposite reaction to you regarding the segments and absolutely loved the Zoe Kazan one and thought the Neeson one was WAY to long. I still liked it but thought it was being beaten to death. The Tom Waits one was great because Tom Waits, which was probably my second favourite behind the Zoe Kazan one. It's not nearly my favourite Coens but shows clearly they are remarkable talents. Anthologies are awesome. I need more in my life. This, Creepshow 1&2, Sin City, Trick R Treat and Monster Club withstanding what's worth a butchers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted December 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2018 The missus was away this weekend so I watched a bunch of films: Halloween - the new one. It was inoffensive but really quite dull. Felt like a missed opportunity. The opening scene was very good but nothing else was remotely memorable or interesting. The Predator - unbelievably terrible in every way. Just pure dog shit. Can't believe this was a Shane Black movie. Felt like one of David Ayers worst efforts. You Were Never Really There - absolutely loved this. One of my favourite films I've seen this year. The CCTV scene was magnificent and Phoenix was as good as always. Logan Lucky - a good bit of fun which I have pretty much already forgotten but that's ok! Adam Driver is just insanely watchable and everyone put in a good shift. The Santa Chronicals - really enjoyed this. Russell is tremendous as Saint Nick, the child actors were actually good and not annoying and felt like it hit just the right note of sentimentality and Christmas cheese without going over the line. Cam - interesting and tense with a cool modern twist on an old concept. I recommend it. The main girl was really good and I liked that it didn't feel exploitative or too sleazy (unlike something like 8mm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted December 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2018 Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse. Saw it again yesterday. Superb 3D and I reckon it is decent enough for even non comic book fans to at least enjoy. My animated highlight of the year by far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The couple of Three Extremes anthologies are also pretty good. If you're looking for a non-horror one, try Wild Tales, the Argentinian one. The best anthology film I've seen and the last segment in it is the best single anthology story I've seen. Great film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Nativity- It's really shit and hard to believe it spawned so many cinema released sequels. Despite its shitness I'm still feeling the need to watch Nativity 2: Danger in a Manger. Sorry to Bother You didn't grab me at all. It's strange because I thought it would be right up my street but whether it was having the point beaten over my head or just the plain outright absurdity it just didn't click with me. I felt the same way about Idiocrisy as well but at least Terry Crews didn't have hair in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard so much about how great it was I think I hyped it up in my head and I thought it had some good moments, but overall I thought it was flawed.

SuperBacon Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Roma is the best film I've seen this year. I thought it was an incredible piece of film making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrodyGraham Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Just got back from Spiderverse. Absolutely loved everything about it. Great voice acting, dialogue, story, characters,design and by God is it stylish. I'm waiting for the inevitable cries of 'Spiderman for cucks!', but frankly, fuck those guys.
