Film reviews - old and new

[BILLYHIBS]

Been mentioned before but quite a good wee independent film that won a few awards on BBCiPlayer called Aftersun well worth a watch

Tells the story of a young girl’s holiday with her Dad who suffers from mental health issues set in Turkey 20 years ago

Only downside is she spends most of the film wearing a yam top a good wee actor though

Its a brilliant movie. The mental health issues are more implied than actually addressed head on, but very well done. The pace was very slow, quite like european cinema, Won’t be to everyone’s tastes.

Loved aftersun kind of film you think about for days. Paul Mescal seems to be in everything just now, he was great in all of us strangers last year and is starring in gladiator 2 this year

Watched Jodie Comer in Prima Facie last night, National Theatre live at the Dominion. There are no words that can do justice to how much talent she has. Incredible. One of those performances that stays with you.

The first thing I can remember seeing her in was Thirteen, which was quite decent, although I think that they tried to cram too much into the last episode, I think it's available on the iPlayer.

Reviews aren’t good but thought it was a an enjoyable watch.

Watched it on Friday night. Thought it was a decent watch, nothing life changing but watched a lot worse.

If you’re entertained by (or partake in) 2 older guys giving each other **** then it’s quite funny

[Moulin Yarns]

Anybody seen Outrun yet? Read the book and really want to see the film. Might not be the most comfortable viewing.

It was decent and I thought Clooney and Pitt were good.

I watched the Instigators on Apple a few weeks back and it was guff.

We have got ourselves engrossed with The Bear. I think all the characters are brilliant. Halfway through series 3.

BBC have definitely hit on something with Ludwig. Detective show/supersleuth and comedy arent genres that sit comfortably together but David Mitchell pulls it off. First 2 episodes are excellent.

Hmmm thought it was entertaining but unlikely and unbelievable

Knew nothing about police systems and procedures didn’t know any of his colleagues couldn’t drive but managed to solve a murder in 30 seconds

The Mrs enjoyed it and will probably watch Episode 2

A hit

I started Vienna Blood but towards the end of the first season there were a few ropey episodes and I just lost interest. David Mitchell has great comic timing and im enjoying this far more.

Salem's Lot remake out next week. My favourite book of all time. I can only be disappointed 😂

[Northernhibee]

The Substance.

The Venn diagram of “movies with lots of boobs” and “movies that I hate” is no longer two separate circles.

[Hibby70]

Just watched the Birds again (as it was in UHD).

My god the folk in it make some stupid decisions. We're safe in this school building so I'll now get all the kids to run down the street screaming instead.

Still can't get my head round Mitch having a mum who looks a few years older and a sister about 30 years younger.

Watched Aftersun earlier this week and thought it was brilliant, both main actors were superb and worked really well together.

Had that effect on me too. I found it really moving.

Spent the first half hour trying to figure out what country they were in ? 😂

Hidden gem

[Hibs Go Bragh]

The new Beetlejuice is poor. It doesn't have enough of the main character in it and when he is in it he's definitely more constrained than the original.

So much potential having the most of the cast back but just not delivered. Keep enjoying the original instead.

That’s pretty much my thoughts to it as well, felt watered down

[Hibby70]

Watched Speak No Evil with James McAvoy. Thought it was excellent for about 90% of the film, then the usual Hollywood ridiculous ending. A missed opportunity I felt.

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

Watched Threads for the first time last night, traumatised is probably the word. Absolutely haunting.

And my god how disappointing it was. Was so bad I thought it was a parody in bits.

Watched Civil War last night.

Mrs Jones gave a 5/10, I gave it a 6/10.

It could have done with a lot more explaining on the war and the reasons behind it. Without that it all felt slightly pointless. There was too little details and it was a short film, only 90 minutes. They could have added so much more to it with a bit more detail.

Think that’s about right.

The End We Start From is a more subtle dystopian movie. Jodie Comer stars.

Watched the original Beetlejuice again last night.

Still love it, but then I love all of Tim Burton's work.
