Moderator Tommy Posted November 3, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 3, 2022 At Eternity's Gate (2019) I can see that it probably isn't the average movie watcher's cup of tea. To me it felt like 70% master piece, and 30% over-enthusastic almost too artsy kind of attempt. They did a great job portraying van Gogh's struggle with mental health, and shooting a lot of POV stuff helped to dive into his mind. Great performances from Oscar Isaac, Rupert Friend, Mads Mikkelsen (even though he just had a mini role), and of course first and foremost Willem Dafoe. I like van Gogh's art, and think he's a fascinating character. If you are the same, chances are high that you will enjoy this movie. If you're not interested in any of it, then this movie definitely isn't for you. Oh yeah, beautiful cinematography as well. 7.5/10 Also it made me chuckle that I watched a movie about van Gogh with a van Gogh print above my TV.

Cicero Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Black Mass - 7.5/10 Great film and very underappreciated. Wish it was longer as well given how well the plot flowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A combination of The Decent and Quarantine, mixed it with an Air Bnb. What a let down that was after a really promising trailer. So many plot holes in the story, I lost interest three quarters of the way through. 4/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there were several huge things that had me scratching my head about the movie but best not mention them as people may be planning on watching it.

It appears it has been better recieved by critics than the general audience from what I can tell. I generally like things like this so I'll watch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell, that's an old one to dig up, was working and living in Southend-on-Sea when me and the wife first watched it and I think around 1985 from a Blockbuster's store nearby for the weekend, and cost us £1.50 if I remember right. The 2 actors then that caught our eyes were Patrick Swayze and Tom Cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to wait for it to come out on a stream now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewolf Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) I watched a rather disturbing film last night.. 'The House That Jack Built' 2018 Starring Matt Dillion and written by Lars von Trier... Apparently, it was so shocking that over a hundred people are reported to have walked out during it's premiere at the Cannes Film Festival at the time... It's not for the feint hearted that's for sure... very graphic violence and a disturbing look into the mind of a serial killer and his vision.. 8/10 Edited November 27, 2022 by Bluewolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnersaurus Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 @Bluewolf I watched dredd again the other day. I know you are a judge dredd fan. I still think its a great film. Yeah the story isn't the best but it makes up for it with relentless action. And it generally got good reviews from critic's and fans. Still give it 9/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still give it 9/10 What I enjoyed about Dredd was it stayed true to the character unlike the Stallone one where it went off the rails with him for the sake of that big blockbuster feel.. Both films have plus and negative points with regards to the world they live in so the first one was not entirely all bad but was ruined because they did stuff that was totally out of character for Dredd, where as Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby were almost perfect as Dredd and a young Cassandra Anderson.. Sadly they didn't have the big blockbuster finances behind it so something had to give along the way regarding spend but it had grit about it. Karl Urban has always said he would like to return as Dredd if the opportunity and a decent storyline for him came along.. There are plenty of decent stories out there so hopefully someone might pick it up for a second outing in the future The Dark Judges would make a decent film if it had the funds... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil-Dick Willie Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Barbarian - 7.5/10 What a flick, I thought Justin Long was great in his role when others seem critical, don't spoil this one for yourselves, just go and see it. Having no prior knowledge is critical to get the best viewing experience is what I was told and my friend was correct. Sicario - 10/10 For what it is this is the best action/thriller of its kind in a decade. A perfectly executed film from pacing and casting to the sound and direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
