Gianfranco Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I See You on Netflix. I thought it was going to be some supernatural pish but I’m glad I stuck with it. I can’t really comment without spoilers but I never seen a couple of the twists coming. 8/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 There's been a lot of fun low key thrillers and horrors coming out in the last couple of years. This year especially is brilliant for it. I've been seeking out as many as possible a lot more than I used to, and also got a year long subscription to Shudder as they're upping their game on originals later in the year, as well as having fun looking stuff I haven't seen yet. Amazon Prime look like they're grabbing some new horror stuff too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) I'll come back with a detailed list, but You Should Have Left is probably the best so far. Kevin Bacon turning in a near career best performance, some genuine emotion involved along with some seriously creepy shit. Oh, and on Shudder, Host is a pure fucking delight.

Hugo Weaving is a genetically enhanced Yorkshireman on a revenge mission to bring down the UK’s totalitarian government whilst donning a Guy Fawkes mask. Ee by gum it is shite. Not even Scatman John playing the Prime Minister could save it. Is this a film that mocks the original? V for vandetta is a great film though. First time I saw V for vandetta I thought it was great. Having watched it again, it just strikes me as ridiculous. Nae offence. Edited August 31, 2020 by paranoid android 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Bill and Ted 3 Loved it. Loved the first two Bill and Ted's and thought this was great, I'm pretty sure plenty of people will think it's absolute nonsense but I thought it was brilliant.It was most excellent. Big fan of the originals aswell. It was a nice way to end it all. Not too nostalgia heavy either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Gambit (1966) Comedy thriller starring Michael Caine who enlists Shirley MacLaine to help him carry out the perfect heist. A valuable artefact held by Herbert Lom, supposedly the richest man in the world, is the target but things don'tr quite go to plan, or do they? 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was down to a St Mirren poster spelling that way so it stuck. Pretty sure it was Stuart Dickson but sure someone will be along to correct me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiepiemuncher Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Highlander. Again for the hundredth time, love this film. It’s a perfect film one of those like Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction that I can watch at any time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Molly's Game (2017) Jessica Chastain is very good in the true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic class skier, who had to give up the sport after an injury but then went on to run exclusive high-stakes poker games befor being targeted by the FBI, subsequently arrested and then tried. Screenplay is written by Aaron Sorkin which shows as it's very fast paced. Idris Elba and Kevin Costner are also good as her attorney and father. 7.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) The Man Who Killed Don Quixote It's a shame that after over two decades of trying to get this made, Gilliam has given us this. It's a mess. It feels like he's tying to blend the insanity/mental unstability aspect of The Fisher King then tries to blend in some of the fantastical stuff like Time Bandits. It doesn't work. Driver and Pryce are game and do their best, but the plot if confusing and the script is dreadful. For a so called passion project is doesn't have very much of it. 5/10 Edited September 2, 2020 by Comrie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I watched the 2019 live action remake of The Lion King at the weekend with my daughter. Visually stunning but I can't really get my head round why they felt they had to make it. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I thought the remake was trash, lacked the charm of the original which really held it back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) I See You 2019 I really enjoyed it, a fair sprinkling of misdirection in the first half, all neatly explained during the remainder. And what a soundtrack, top notch electro which reminded me a lot of 70s/80s Sheffield bands Cabaret Voltaire and Hula. ETA I was well over half an hour into it before I realised the female lead was Helen Hunt. f**k me that's some bad cosmetic surgery she's had, she looks like Odo from Star Trek DS9.

JustOneCornetto Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 The Stranger (1946) Lesser known film-noir but pretty good with Edward G Robinson playing a War Crimes investigator trying to hunt down a Nazi played by Orson Welles who has settled in Connecticut and is now married to Loretta Young. It's a game of cat and mouse with Edward G using every trick he knows to reveal the true identity of Welles. The story works well apart from the fact that there is not the slightest hint of a German accent. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
