NotThePars Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I've seen enough memes and plot points already to conclude that Langley must be directly writing the scripts these days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit hyper and had the same kind of style that reminded me of Thor Ragnarok. Overdone it a bit with the 80's theme, I dont think even the eighties were that eighties.

Ira Gaines Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I didn't even remotely recognize him despite him looking exactly the fucking same. I suppose I just wasn't expecting him to turn up in Wonder Woman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy boo Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Let Him Go New Kevin Costner one where his son dies and the mother remarries and goes off with his grandson to live with new husbands redneck family in the middle of nowhere. Costner and wife track them down and try to rescue their grandson. Lesley Manville(who was great in Mum) is terrific as the matriarch of the rednecks......8/10. The Midnight Sky New George Clooney one set in 2049 when mankind has destroyed earth and a spacecraft is returning from a mission to find a suitable planet for for humans to colonise and can't make contact with earth. CGI was great but felt the film dragged at times with overlong scenes......7/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Annihilation Decent sci fi about a group of scientists and soldiers investigating an alien phenomenon around a coastline.I liked it, was different in that you didn't know if the alien was actually nefarious or whether what was happening was just because it exists.A bit more thoughtfull than some alien films but lacked something. Ending was spectacular though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Did either of you clock who Max's driver was?Never noticed, was it Matt Damon? Probably too distracted by the poor CGI. For a film that was sitting about for so long I was surprised by this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The director was clearly mainlining Tarkovsky while he made it. The bear scene is sick tho, fucking still gives me the heebies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Christmas vacation 7/10. Not seen it for years and didn't realise Mrs Griswold was such a milf back in the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Putting down a list of movies released this year that I at the very least really enjoyed. Throwing it in Spoiler tags as there's a lot. Hunter Hunter Onus Love and Monsters Freaky Run The Trial of the Chicago 7 Enola Holmes The Babysitter: Killer Queen The Argument Host The Silencing You Should Have Left The Rental Arkansas The Dark and the Wicked 12 Hour Shift Don't Let Them In The Vanished The Invisible Man Boss Level The Nest Shirley Relic His House Spree 1917 Richard Jewell Queen and Slim The Honeymoon Phase Just Mercy Disappearance at Clifton Hill Blood on Her Name Parasite The Lighthouse Blow the Man Down I'd probably say that the MAIN highlights of the year were The Lighthouse, Queen and Slim, You Should Have Left, Parasite, Host and Shirley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I'll wait until the end of the year before doing the same but there has honestly been a lot of really good stuff released this year - or, at the very least I've seen a lot of really good things. There's probably an element of smaller releases not getting buried by the bigger ones and me being more willing to take a risk at home than the cinema, but it's been nice having one positive this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfha Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Watched Megan is Missing last night. The scene setting before the actual kidnapping was well paced, the last 20 minutes has some of the most brutal scenes I've ever watched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Soul (Disney+) - 7/10 Typical Pixar fare. Reminded me a lot of Inside Out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out The Poughkeepsie Tapes for something similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Clemency (2019) It's slow so if you're an action movie fan it's not for you. Brilliant acting from Alfre Woodard (Star Trek First Contact, 12 Years A Slave, Scrooged) as a prison warden whose psychological and emotional detachment to her Death Row duties come into question and affect her marriage (to Bunk from The Wire) and also to a prisoner who she believes might be innocent (although this is implicit). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Apparently the producers of Megan is Missing wanted to make a film that parents and schools could show to teenage girls in order to get them to stop trusting strangers off the internet. No idea if they succeeded in that, or were even allowed to show it to kids, but I certainly haven't been near the internet in years. Spoiler Saw it for a second time earlier this year and, despite knowing the barrel scene was coming, I still flinched. Horrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I think the message in Megan Is Missing kinda gets lost about halfway through. The first half certainly does a decent job of going for what they were looking for. Then it just turns into standard horror shock tactics. And then the first half of the movie is basically thrown out of the window and forgotten about. All in all, it ends up being quite shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
