Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted August 27, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 27, 2023 Indeed'n it was, Rashers. Actually closer to 55 quid. Two tickets, nachos, popcorn and two drinks. And for the first five minutes I genuinely, truly thought I was watching some sort of pre-movie short or something, because the special effects were Albert Pyun Dollman level. The absolute state of last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted September 2, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted September 2, 2023 The First Slam Dunk over 2 hour long anime about basketball I saw at the cinema. It was a very classic by the numbers sports drama, although it was cool seeing that in cartoon form. Some of the basketball game (which takes up like 50% of the film) was really exciting and well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Weezenal Posted September 6, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted September 6, 2023 Managed to get some tickets for the London Film Festival this morning. Had a great time last year so looking forward to it. So far I have booked: - Surprise film - Gala screening: Killers of the Flower Moon (Scorsese) - Gala screening: Poor Things (Emma Stone) Going as press as well so hoping to see a lot more between work. There is so much on so if you can go I recommend it as it's good fun and you can some interesting films you might not otherwise see, or ones you will definitely see on streaming.  https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/lff/Online/default.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted September 10, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted September 10, 2023 I watched The Matrix Resurrections last night on Amazon Prime. I really enjoyed it, but I am a big fan of all the Matrix films. I could see why people wouldn't enjoy it, but I thought it was well done. I'm pretty sure there won't be another given that it flopped at the cinema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted September 11, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2023 Watched Locked Down yesterday. I hate when good actors pop up in bad films. It's 2/3 a thought-provoking social commentary on relationships during peak lockdown then transforms into a Poundland heist film through the virtue of ludicrous coincidences. Double frustrating for me because I watched another film recently with similar third-act schizophrenia and I can't remember what it was. At times it was really clever, at times it was funny, I wanted to enjoy it, but ultimately didn't. Although Merchant stole the show with his brief scenes, even if he was playing Darren Lamb with a different name, as he invariably does.

Basically taking a potshot at the franchise in a lot of ways. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted September 14, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted September 14, 2023 Yeah, there were some funny little self-referential bits in there. I liked the bit where they tried to pass off the original matrix trilogy as a series of videogames, and prescribing all the blue pills etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dialogue and acting in the third one especially, but I thought the bare bones of the stories were fine. I thought the idea of "the first film is about birth, the second about life and the third about death" was pretty cool. With that said, I'm looking forward to getting round to watching the new one but I doubt there will be anything as hard-hitting yet subtle in a cool way as the bit in the trailer when Trinity says "Have we met?" and the look on Neo's face.

Paid Members Jesse Posted September 14, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted September 14, 2023 I think there's a lot to like about Resurrections, especially reading its through the lens (rumoured or otherwise) that Lana Wachowski felt compelled to come back to this bcause if she didn't they'd have done it without her. It definitely didn't hit as hard for me though, when I saw the originals I was barely a teen and all of this was new and exciting. Now I'm in my mid-30's and much more into cinema, apart from a couple of scenes it didn't wow me in the way I was hoping for. Maybe an unfair expectation but I didn't enjoy the action anywhere near as much as I have from directors like Takahashi Miike, Gareth Evans & Chad Stahelski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 The first Matrix film is ace, the second is bollocks and they get even worse as they go on. Probably the worst filmmakers this side of Rob Zombie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
