28 days later, if you knew what you were letting yourself in for, zombie/infected its less scary. The way its shot like you say makes it a killer.ValleyGary said:I rewatched 28 days later last night and even though it’s not what I’d call ‘scary’, it’s brilliantly shot to keep you on the edge of your seat. Love all the empty shots of the UK, must have took some effort back then.The trailer for 28 years later looks awesome.
I genuinely thought it would be a 1 man vs the empty world post nuclear event. Fuck me was I wrong2 -

Bloody hell, that Angus Neill certainly does have a 'distinctive look'.Rothko said:

Just watched Carry-On released by Netflix today
Latest Taron Egerton film, who I've been a fan of since the Kingsman films - This one isn't to be confused with the classic Carry On Films, but more of the Die Hard type Christmas film - Starts off really well, and sadly fades off a little bit... Jason Bateman is really good0 -

I think they had to get up very, very early for a few Sundays to shoot that stuff! It was shot on very lightweight, early digital cameras so it allowed them to shoot lots of angles at once and be pretty light on their feet too. I think I remember reading they had just a few minutes, maybe half an hour with some bits, whereas a standard production would take a full day. It was a bit like Easy Rider in the way it showed filmmaking was becoming far more accessible to people who had good ideas but no budget.ValleyGary said:I rewatched 28 days later last night and even though it’s not what I’d call ‘scary’, it’s brilliantly shot to keep you on the edge of your seat.

I watched Triangle of Sadness last night on BBC2. It had been on my 'maybe' list when I saw it trailed a year or two ago, but I'm so pleased I didn't pay money to see it. One of those films where you hope every character suffers a painful demise.
Circle of shite, more like.2 -
My top 10 for the year. I may re-watch a few before the end of year but can't see it changing too much.2 -
It’s been a good year. Enjoyed all of those, I’d make room for Sing Sing and Kneecap in my top 10, probably in place of Poor Things and Gladiator II. Can’t believe Iron Claw was this year, feels like ages ago I watched that!agim said:

Spent the whole time screaming at the tele…….that wouldn’t happen……no way they’d do that etc etc etc
But I did like Jason as a baddie.2 -

I feel the same about American fiction, probably my favourite film of the year. I'm surprised it's even a 2024 filmse9addick said:

Agree about Sing Sing and Kneecap. Also would shout out A Different Man, Robot Dreams and No Other Land. It's been a good year, all in all.se9addick said:

My Top Ten of 2024 in no particular order . It could change if I see any good films in the last two weeks of the year .2 -
Are these movies you've watched this year or movies released this year? Because I'm sure I saw Wonka in the cinema last DecemberBedsaddick said:My Top Ten of 2024 in no particular order . It could change if I see any good films in the last two weeks of the year .1 -

Irish-language film Kneecap has won seven British Independent Film Awards (BIFA), including the top honor - Best British Independent Film.Blucher said:
This is my favourite film of the year, @Chunes ! With definite vibes of Trainspotting, I found it highly original, hugely energetic, subversive and, at times, riotously funny.Chunes said:Also watched Kneecap yesterday. It's the true story of the same-named Belfast hip-hop trio who try to keep the Irish language alive by rapping in their native Irish. It's funny, bonkers... superb!I was surprised at how well the band members could act, ably supported by a handful of professional Irish actors, notably, Michael Fassbender. Because Kneecap are a real band, I thought the music had an authenticity and vitality that fictional musical biopics struggle to replicate.
No strangers to controversy - having antagonised politicians and radio stations on both sides of the border - I was interested to read that Kneecap successfully applied in 2023 for a £15,000 grant from the music export growth scheme, an independent government-backed arts initiative that provides funding to promote artists overseas. A panel of the British Phonographic Industry, which administers the scheme, approved the request, only for the then Business Secretary, Kemi Badenoch, to rescind it on the grounds of their Republican politics. Whilst appreciative of the publicity, the band successfully applied in June for leave to seek judicial review, with a full hearing likely to be heard any time now when they return from a US tour. Whatever the result (and I'd expect them to win), the further publicity will certainly do them no harm.
Also now been shortlisted for two Academy Awards.2 -
Surprised not to see any mention of ‘civil war’ in end of season lists. Thought it was excellently shot and not far away from a future truth.Kneecap also making my top 3. Fantastic insight into post-good Friday agreement born youth and modern Ireland.0

Here’s the ‘Sight and Sound’ top 50 films of the year. I’ve seen 20 of them including the top 3, all of which I was underwhelmed by - La Chimera (3), Anora (2) and All We Imagine as Light (1).My personal favourites of 2024 are Kneecap, The Holdovers and The Zone of Interest. Outside that top 3, I also really rated Small Things Like These and Thank You for Banking With Us ! (a Palestinian film awaiting UK release).3

I thought The Wild Robot was one of the best films I've seen this year - a great piece of animation and a strong storyline.Blucher said:The Guardian's top 50 films of the year;

Loved it too but did they really have to do the shark thing?Jessie said:Watched Gladiator II just now and totally enjoyed it. It kept me on the edge of my seat for all 150 minutes. I've always loved the soundtrack of the original film so it was nice to hear it several times in this sequel.1
