Just got back from watching it at the cinema with the wife and kids.

 

Can't believe it's nearly 80 years old now but still a joy.

Watched Scream V and VI this week, thought they were pretty good, think this song is in all the movies but not entirely certain, spoilers for the first 5 movies in this video if you have not seen them.

The most brutal Ghost Face is Scream VI in my opinion.

Chicken run 2: Dawn of the nugget 6/10.

 

Good

-Great to see a new Aardman production 

-Well made with some good humour for adults & kids

 

Bad

-Some of casting falls flat, new rocky is poor and that scouse Frizzle makes my ears bleed.

-Plot is OTT and loses the charm from the first film.

We watched the film "the death of Stalin" on iPlayer last night. Very enjoyable.

[RonnieTodger]

Enjoyed Asteroid City

[ithuriel]

See Scream 7 is pretty much a dead man walking, two leads gone, director gone, writers going to have to start fresh.

Are you a time traveller 

 

 

But Stewart's dialogue is almost at hysterical shouting level most of the time. Or so it seemed to me when I watched it last week on TV.

 

I don't do sentimental films BTW.

[ithuriel]

Two best of the year list....not heard of some of these.....

Not if this is the way the part was written. Mind Jimmy Stewart is now known to have suffered PDST  following his war service as a pilot and this film was made just after.

The new Wonka film is superb

Nice to see aardman back, but big mistake not inviting back previous cast from original film.

 

Think I heard their next project in the works is another Wallace and Gromit production. Long overdue been a good 15 years since we seen them in a feature.

They were invited back. Unfortunately one of the cast passed away whilst they couldn’t spend millions of pounds to get others to do it

Blimey, that took you a long time to get back!

[RonnieTodger]

Saltburn was okay. Ending felt a bit rushed.

[CosbehFox]

I watched Rye Lane on NYE. About as solid as a modern Rom com gets. All set in Peckham and Brixton

Hyped up film which as you say was just “okay” it was different I’ll give it that.

The bath and graveyard scenes were very different 

[ithuriel]

Found this on Youtube, interesting that the final house, third act scene of the movie was a house that actually had two people pass away in.

 

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

I watched saltburn on the recommendation of some of the missus friends.‘I couldn’t believe it I had to watch it through the gap in my hand’ and comments of the like.

 

2 hours of my life I’ll never get back absolutely dreadful. Nothing happened for 110 minutes then it tries to reveal itself as clever with stuff that was basically obvious all the way through, it wasn’t a twist it just confirmed what was obvious. Dreadful.

[ithuriel]

So just when you thought Studio Ghibli and Miyazaki were done, .....

 

[Vacamion]

 

Late to the party, but just saw Belfast.

 

Brilliant.
