Crroma Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 No doubt plenty people enjoyed it mate. I need an actual ending to call a movie terrific rather than just alright but that doesn't apply to everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say this as a qualified individual who can pass judgment on the subtle merits of an Oscar winning film, aye? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree The Shape is Water was a misstep, usually they do alright though. Last years winner WAS excellent (not La La Land) -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) I loved the ending to No Country, it’s not a story, those guys had life’s and the tale goes on, too many stories sweetly wrapped up so this was a breath of fresh air for me. Also it was an adapted screenplay and mirrored the source. Edited March 12, 2018 by Christophe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crroma Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Its difficult not to sound like a c**t with the opinion I'm putting out here and Christophe makes an excellent point so let's just say it didn't work for me and call it a day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I enjoyed The Shape of Water well enough, but out of the nominees, I think Lady Bird, and probably Get Out, were better movies. And of course nothing was better than Paddington 2 last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed Three Billboards, Get Out and Lady Bird (the Oscar nominees I've seen) but wouldn't put any of them above Paddington 2. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Having said that, I love Sally Hawkins. Edited March 12, 2018 by Kyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I'd say: Call Me By Your Name Lady Bird Three Billboards Get Out The Shape of Water Dunkirk The Post Phantom Thread 9. Darkest Hour I loved the top five, though, and thought 6-8 were pretty great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Will give Shape of Water a go tonight. I've attempted Lady Bird twice. I'm not long in but I'm struggling. Is it a slow start or am I just not getting it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a slow start or am I just not getting it? I don't recall it picking up that much. It is more a series of short vignettes looking into "Lady Bird's" life, giving small yet beautiful payoffs as it goes on. If the characters haven't clicked with you yet, I wouldn't really bother carrying on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the characters haven't clicked with you yet, I wouldn't really bother carrying on. I'm talking about 10 minutes I think. We've just met her pal at school. I'll stick with it as I think Saorise Ronan is a cracking actor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(cinema) Forgot to add that the whole way through I was thinking what a great score, really jarring and unusual, turns out it was only bladdy Greenwood again he IS good at scores 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (39) Annihilation 7.5/10 A cross between Stalker and Predator. Really good! (Netflix) -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Netflix) Really weird that this didn't get a theatrical release in the UK and instead goes straight to Netflix like The Cloverfield Paradox. There's a Guardian piece that suggests the studio was worried it was too brainy for audiences, which is pretty insulting. I thought it was great, too. Deserved to be seen on a big screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
