Imagine him as Hannibal Lecter!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think he was fantastic in Born on the Fourth of July. I really, really wanted to watch The Last Samurai for ages, I think it would be a perfect movie for me due to subject matter. But I can't get past the first few minutes of Tom Cruise in a drunken raging state American made. That's a good movie of his if you haven't watched it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I need is replacing Cruise with some deepfake throughout the movie Tom Hardy deepfake will do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted November 1, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted November 1, 2022 On a side note, I haven't been watching many movies lately, but I forgot to post about this one: The Greatest Beer Run Ever (2022) Nothing extraordinary, but a thoroughly enjoyable movie based on real events. Zac Efron plays Chickie Donohue, a fella everyone sees as a bit of a loser, who decides to travel from New York to Vietnam in the middle of the war in order to bring beers to his neighbourhood friends fighting there. 6.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is the case they only make it to the streaming channel I don't like the way movies are going, I loved the traditional big screen followed by general release system. Netflix, apple and even Disney seem to be throwing out movies for fun at lower budgets. 40 years from now there won't be any classics, just thousands of rushed low budget movies thrown out to keep streaming service customers happy.

Only in select movie theaters, I believe... And yeah, I see where you're coming from; the quantity does seem to be the preference over actual quality these days. I don't think I would have many movies released in the last decade or so on my all-time favourites list. Actually a good idea for a thread, maybe. I mostly watch TV series these days, both because the length of episodes makes it much easier to fit it into the day, and also because I genuinely think that good TV series are easier to find than good movies nowadays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Susperia (1977) 6/10 No plot, just vibes. Great lighting and music. Susperia (2018) 7/10 More plot, less vibes. A couple of genuinely uncomfortable to watch horror scenes, an actual plot with an actual payoff. Also, Tilda Swinton is immense in her roles. Overly long, mildly convoluted ending and the weird b plot shit about Lufthansa drag it down a bit. There was a classic here and it was lost.

Cicero Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Barbarian (2022) 6.5/10 Very suspenseful but a plot I feel they've done before. A combination of The Decent and Quarantine, mixed it with an Air Bnb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop using Zoom zoom slang No fucking wonder it was fucking mediocre hahahaha. Look, you could have made the movie about fucking anything and the lights and sounds would have been real pretty. But the rest of the film is unspectacular. I don't care if 'it's supposed to be unspectacular cos it's a Massimo Luigi film and they're meant to be like that'. I enjoyed it. I gave it the above average score it deserved. I enjoyed the remake more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
