Let's have a films thread.

Looks interesting and weird. Right in Cage's wheelhouse!

 

I think I was one of the few people to see Pig a few years ago. That was another strange but interesting character piece of his.

A Million Miles (Prime, @Parafox, OK?) was quality.

Evil Dead Rise was so disappointing. No humour, plodding - in fact, apart from the title and the presence of the Book of the Dead, this bore zero resemblance to any other film in the series. The only positive was that it was free to watch.

Anyone watched Past Lives yet? Some very good reviews. 

 

Yes. A moving film with acting of great subtlety and a visually impressive film.

Themes of how we change with time, life and location - yet retain early emotional bonds.

One of the best films I've seen in a long while.

Watched In Time last night at the missus request, never did see it when it was out. Run of the mill. Good concept if not entirely original. Villains ears very off putting. Amanda seyfried was good in it, as was Cillian Murphy. Justin Timberlake clearly not an actor. 5/10

I remember liking that. Nowt special but decent enough sci-fi fare.

One Night In Soho was a delightful surprise. I thought it was going to be stock daughter chosen teen shit, but it’s a wonderfully scripted classic ghost story. Well acted, beautifully shot, great soundtrack.

Watched this a while ago, decent film.

[The Bear]

Yeah I liked it too. But then again it has both Anya Taylor Joy and Thomasin McKenzie in, so it couldn't really go wrong in my eyes.

It's an Edgar Wright film! I'll presume you know who he is, but if not (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Baby Driver). Would never be anything but!

Watched Accused on Netflix last night, pretty good film, bit of a flaw with the storyline but clearly mainly about getting the message across

If you are after a really decent thriller film try Under Suspicion on Amazon, Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman going head to head, stellar acting performances and will keep you guessing to the end. Seems a bit of an overlooked thriller as well if you haven't seen it.

Amazing Michael Caine still making films at 90. 60 years since Introducing Michael Caine in Zulu.

[Tommy Fresh]

Watched Evil Dead Rise and thought it was decent enough, better than the previous they did

Just been made to watch Barbie . Odd film , funny in parts but not as funny as it thinks it is. Gave it a go and good messages for women but makes men look pretty awful. Fair play for making something original though.

Yeah I thought it was weird too. Trying really hard to be a positive message for women at times yet so superficial at the same time. And the humour and characters of all the Kens was just plain odd.

Yeah Barbie enters the real world and all men slap her arse and basically abuse her , I get the message but think it was a little over the top. Parts were good though  but left a bad feeling for me.

I knew nothing about him...but watching this and researching has been an eye opener

Going down the wormhole of Ingmar Bergman films.

 

Persona - brilliant

Fanny and Alexander - possibly even better!

 

Anyone seen any of his other films / got specific recommendations?

There’s so many. I like his later work like Fanny and Alexander much more than the earlier stuff. Cries and Whispers is great. Scenes from a Marriage and Wild Strawberries are pretty good too.
