Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 12, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2019 The Silence definitely doesn't continue Netflix's recent good run. It's absolutely miserable and you shouldn't even hate watch it. Even Stanley Tucci doesn't come off well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted April 12, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2019 I really enjoyed Missing Link. Looked beautiful, nice little story and had a good few gags. Best of all, I wasn't accused of being a nonce, despite having a bag full of sweets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factotum Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Laika make great films. Kubo and The Two Strings is utterly brilliant. Its such a shame they don't seem to do well upon release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 12, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2019 They have no chance when Disney are pissing out film after film. It's a real shame, Missing Link deserves to be a huge hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Solace - 2015 Apparently, this was written as a sequel to Seven where a retired Det. Somerset had gained psychic powers. Â That idea was kiboshed and Anthony Hopkins plays the retired FBI dude, but it really was as bad as it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 13, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 13, 2019 I watched a film with Hopkins in last night called Collide. He plays a drug baron always quoting Shakespeare and is easily the worst thing in it. Otherwise it was a really enjoyable actioner, Nicholas Hoult was really good in the lead. Ben Kingsley is an absolute nutter in it, and to the delight of @Scott Malbranque, Felicity Jones looks divine in it - love the short blonde do.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted April 13, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 13, 2019 I enjoyed Collide too. Really.did. Was lovely and fast paced and had that kind of 'No Escape' tension at points. I don't know why it got such bad reviews though, especially when it contained something as absolutely stunning and mesmerizing as Felicity Jones' top lip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 13, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 13, 2019 It dragged a bit at the start and the attempt at a twist ending was a bit off, but that middle third is absolutely relentless, and really well shot. Hopkins was pretty crap but yeah, strange that it was so badly panned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted April 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) Wild Rose is no doubt all about that "feelgood" and is decent enough, but I found a chunk of it to be annoyingly hokey. Some of the acting in it is a bit Hollyoaks too. It's quite funny in places, but the jokes are a little one-note. By far the best thing about it is Jessie Buckley. I'm very excited to see how her career unfolds in the next 5 years. Edited April 14, 2019 by ColinBollocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) I watched Guava Island last night on Amazon. I don't have a Prime account so I'm assuming it's free to all. For those of you who dont know it's a collaberitive effort from Donald Glover and his brother and maybe Rhianna and is directed by one of the Atlanta regular directors, same bloke who made the This is America video. It's only an hour long and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It kind of has a Atlanta weird episode vibe and I recommend going in without too much prior knowledge as it's a lovely little surprise of a film.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 14, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 14, 2019 I think I've only seen Donald Glover in The Martian and some terrible stand-up comedy show. He was funnier in The Martian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted April 17, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2019 Good little documentary is on MUBI.com about the Irish Troubles in the 70s. "The Patriot Game". Really disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
