Let's have a films thread.

Watched Asif Kapadia's Maradona documentary yesterday, absolutely brilliant watch. In fact, Kapadia's documentaries are almost always excellent, Senna and Amy are incredible films too.

Just watched Shimmer Lake.

 

Crime drama thriller about a small town Sheriff tracking down bank robbers after a heist gone wrong.

 

Sounds run of the mill.

 

But... it's told in reverse. Which helps pay off with the ending and some great gags, while still being a thriller.

 

Well worth your time.

 

Memento follows a similar format with a twist- it is worth a watch.

I was going through you tube yesterday and came across The Trench.Made in 1999 I think.Never watched it before or can remember it.A great 90 minute film though.Set in the days and hours before the first attack in the battle of the Somme.Really good cast and great acting.

I finally watched Birdman last night. What a load of pretentious bollocks. The second half was better than the first but it wasn't a high bar.

Took the kids to watch Doolittle this afternoon.

 

Fell as asleep as per.

 

Apparently it was ok

Classic Gilliam!

Watched Sonic The Hedgehog last night. I used to be a child, but I'm not anymore - and I also don't have children - so usually I swerve family or animated films.

 

But I really enjoyed it. Partly because of the nostalgia factor, and my love for the Sonic games on the Mega Drive, but also Jim Carrey being on great, improvisational form. He clearly had a lot of fun with the role.

 

Easily the most I've LOL'd at a film in quite some time.

Watched Fury (Brad Pitt) and really enjoyed it but apparentley its crap because you cant make a war film that isnt factually accurate.

[Countryfox]

With Mrs CF out for the night I decided to watch UNFORGIVEN (with Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman and Richard Harris),  having seen it first a long time ago ...   absolute cracker and even better than I remembered it ! ...   probably in my top 5 westerns ..   could even be top !!      

 

Highly recommended.

Just flicking through my movie streaming app and Contagion is the 10th most popular movie on the current list. Its the last movie I'd want to watch right now, might as well watch the news.

Wouldn't watch that etiher!

Also to avoid: 

 

Outbreak

28 Days Later

28 Weeks Later

The Stand (Still the best opening to a TV Series).

I really enjoyed Doctor Sleep - the sequel to The Shining,probably 30 mins too long though!

[rico]

The Invisible Man 8/10,refreshing remake of a classic horror story

 

The Postcard Killings 6/10, predictable but watchable serial killer movie

 

The Lost Girls 7/10, true story about a mothers search for her daughter who may have been murdered by a serial killer

Thinking back to this, maybe people should watch this. Stick it on BBC 1 every night instead of or just after the PM's press conference. Might make people realise what could happen if they don't follow the social distancing advice.

Isle of Dogs

 

Can't believe it took me this long to see it. Love anything Wes Anderson and this was no exception.

Den Of Thieves on Netflix.

 

It's an overlong, badly acted rip off of Heat featuring dreary Gerard Butler and 50 Cent (who can't act).

I thought it was a really good film. Really enjoyable and keeps you guessing.
