Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted March 29, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted March 29, 2019 Just watched a film on Netflix called 'Get Out', a horror/mystery/thriller, took a little while to get into the film but not bad, the ending though could have been a lot better, I would give it an 8/10 only because the wife sat through the whole film. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5052448/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgnisExcubitor Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I thought Get Out was a decent flick, not a great flick as it was made out to be. It was a decent horror flick centred around the race dynamics. In the current climate it was bound to become huge. Now Us on the other hand is brilliant. I saw it on the weekend. It's smarter, darker and creepier. It has several references to old flicks, loads of symbolism, small dose of good humour and a good OST. It's not perfect and some things could have been handled in a better manner, but the movie as a whole was quite wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) I really liked Get Out though it was maybe overhyped, but I can also get why the hype occurred. Plus, I think that everyone always expects horror to be shit and then any decent horror movie gets overhyped. Happened with The Babadook which I personally thought was average. People also raved and raved about the Conjuring, which was really good, but not like an all-time great horror movie. Oddly enough, I felt like Hereditary got unfairly ignored after an initial pre-release buzz. The fact that Toni Collette hardly got nominated for anything was absolutely bizarre.

The fact that Toni Collette hardly got nominated for anything was absolutely bizarre. Hereditary and The Witch - two of the creepiest movies to come out in recent times. It's nice that horror films are taking the creepy rather than scary route. Us did that too, but those two films above were down right creepy, in a good way. @topic Just finished watching Triple Frontier and I have to agree with @Viva la FCB. To add to his points : Not many deaths in the group. The one who gets shot is tougher than Steve Rogers. Zero tension during the movie. None of the cartel's men chased them, until the beach showdown, and even that was never used to it's full potential. At least give a grand fucking finish. I also wish they had shown them lacking morals. Former marines/commandos aren't this in touch with the morals. Especially people who admit to killing 40+ people. And if they are remorseful of their past army lives, they give up violence completely. Look at movies like Heat, Sicario, American Sniper, etc. Those guys seemed realistic. They were meticulous with their planning, but if things went south they mopped the whole place clean. These guys seemed so uneven. One moment they value life, then they don't, then they cry for a while, and they completely forget their bad actions, then they again don't want to kill innocents, but next scene they are ready to,...

The funny thing was its bloody called TRIPLE FRONTIER. they mentioned at one point its not just his money and talked about a coop with an american? agency splitting the cash and none of this mattered at all. There was literally nooone coming after them except for a drug farmers kid that they got itchy trigger fingers around. You're bang on about the characters too, there was just no substance there absolutely nothing to latch onto. Benicio in Sicario is a great parallel, its even within the same genre. There was potential for a good film here they just executed so poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnisExcubitor Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Yep, wasted a good cast, money (seemed like a lot of cash was splurged on this) and a good opportunity. I think they tried to capitalise on Narcos' popularity. Nothing wrong in that. Look at American Made. Tried to cash in on Narcos' popularity but also made such a fun if not great flick.

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted April 5, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted April 5, 2019 I was just going to post about this watched it last night. Highwaymen 8/10 Bit of a slow burner but Costner and Woody are great throughout. They did a good job of portraying Bonnie and Clyde; a more realistic take and under a different light as cold blooded killers. It still showed the crowds and their fame but it was pretty brutal in what they showed at least woody kept it light! Worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted April 7, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) Didn't think I would like this film that the wife put on called 'The Man Who Cried' (1993) it's from a Catherine Cookson novel and believe it or not I quite enjoyed it, anybody wants to sit down next to your partner and watch a good drama then watch this, I would give it an 8/3 8/10 rating. The film run for a good 3 hours and its classed as a tv film and the wife is sure it was on tv at one time as a mini-series on the BBC or ITV. Abel Mason is a man caught in a loveless marriage with a harridan wife who constantly berates him and beats their son Dick. When the one woman he loves dies at the hands of her husband after he was sent a letter by Mason's wife, exposing the affair, Abel leaves her for good taking to the road and young Dick with him. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106060/ Edited April 7, 2019 by CaaC - John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
