I think there have been quite a few really decent releases despite lock down, but may depend on genre taste, rather than quality?
I would recommend Minari, Promising Young Woman, Black Widow, Love and Monsters, Soul, Borat Sequel to name but a few.Cruella was stylish, but left me scratching my head a bit as to how it fits in with 101 Dalmatians, Mortal Kombat I enjoyed, but know the characters and play the game, so easy for me to follow - and would leave most uninitiated bamboozled and finally Kong vs Godzilla I also enjoyed, but suspect the quite drawn out monster smash ups are not for everyone.0 -

Have you seen "Nobody" yet?ValleyGary said:I know Covid has had an effect on the film industry but I haven’t seen a decent new film in god knows how long. Real lack of quality for ages.
I watched Tomorrow’s War. Was okay, felt like I was watching a different film from the moment the time portal closed tho.0 -

Try paint drying. More drama than recent MNS garbage.JiMMy 85 said:
The paucity of cinema opportunities really does make us watch some tripe! I’ve been to see a few films I never would have made the effort for. Just because I wanted to watch something. Anything.Fanny Fanackapan said:

Anyone heard anything about it ?Yeah it’s the one about people on a beach who discover they’re ageing really fast. Which is basically an X-Files episode.
I honestly don’t think I’ll watch another one of his films. He made two or three classics 20+ years ago. And since then he’s made some of the worst movies in the history of mainstream cinema. Lady In The Water and The Happening should’ve been enough for Hollywood shun him permanently. But they let him make Glass which was a tragedy for Unbreakable fans! Some of his stuff is so schlocky it’s genuinely confusing as to what he’s trying to do.
Might give it a go - an excuse to get out & use the local cinema.0 -
Best avoiding that beach. Anybody catch where it is?0

Jimmy is spot on. The graphic Novel 'Sandcastle' is where MNS has taken this story from. The only twist in that is the rapid ageing, not sure it's a typical MNS story... Although he did do the Happening, so could be wrong.Fanny Fanackapan said:

I liked it as all the characters were already clear in my mind. Would recommend, it doesn't add tons, but enough to make some bits make more sense.LonelyNorthernAddick said:
Heard QT talking about this on the JRE podcast and was curious about it, might ask for it for a birthday or something - would you recommend? De-railing the film thread into a book thread sorry!Dazzler21 said:
He developed the screenplay into a book to flesh it out to how he'd have preferred. Basically more detail and back fill.NapaAddick said:
Wow, is that movie from a book? Thought it was an original screenplay by QT?Dazzler21 said:
Recommend the book in that case.Fanny Fanackapan said:Not exactly " latest" but we caught "Once upon a time in Hollywood" last night on Netflix.
Found it really enjoyable & loved Leo's role which he played very well.0 -
Space Jam; A New Legacy - Absolute meh. Worth watching if you get it free but wouldn't pay to watch it having now seen it.2

Only just watched Rush. One of the best sports films I’ve ever seen.5

I’ve never had any interest in motorsports or cars in general, but Rush is superb. Brilliant acting from the main two guys.ValleyGary said:Only just watched Rush. One of the best sports films I’ve ever seen.2 -
Same mate. Although I think I’d have enjoyed 70’s F1 rather than what it is now.stoneroses19 said:

New to me rather than new, but just saw Midsommar. Entertaining, but weird!0

The jumping onto the rocks scene was disturbing.

Midnight in the Switchgrass was hammered by the critics , but I thought was watchable . Megan Fox is always easy on the eye .0

I got Covid for a second time so spent much of last week watching films that I find comforting (Marvel and Tarantino mainly!). But I did occasionally try something new - In The Heart Of The Sea (Amazon) was decent, and surprisingly understated. I get a little tired of Hemsworth doing the same performance over and over but Tom Holland was as engaging as ever.
MIB: International was bloody awful.Detective Pikachu was better than it had any right to be. Thanks to Ryan Reynolds really. I did lose interest towards the end but I have to give it credit for having a decent stab at film noir-style storytelling.Also I watched An Innocent Man for the first time in 30 years and it made me realise how much I love F Murray Abraham.0 -
Do go and see Riders of Justice if you can. Danish crime thriller with dark comedy elements, I was expecting a very standard film from the setup but it was really refreshing once you get past the weird tone. Some of the best characters I've seen on screen in a long time, and surprisingly touching and humane.1

Watched the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. The first 20 minutes is truly woeful but it does get better. Also Jay sadly now has false teeth after years of heroin abuse and his slurring speech is quite distracting. Still enjoyed it for the most part.0

I like serial killer films and was looking through prime the other night, ' Hangman' came up, Al Pacino, thought I'd give it ago even though IMDB was 5.2/10
Honestly the worst film I've sat through to the end for years.
Shocking acting, like a shit episode of CSI, it was that bad I just wanted to know the ending, story wasn't a bad story tbf but executed like a spoof rip off Seven

Did anyone watch the Fear Street trilogy? Finished it last night, thought each film got progressively better and the final instalment was pretty decent (dodgy Irish accents aside).1

I watched Nobody yesterday and I've got to say it was absolutely excellent
Stars Bob Odenkirk (Saul Goodman/Jimmy McGill from breaking bad and better call Saul) and he is fantastic, the premise is very John Wick-y which I am absolutely fine with, the film isn't trying to be anything it isn't. Its an out and out action/revenge flick and the action scenes are incredible especially the fighting. Thoroughly recommended

Back to the cinema last weekend for the first time in a year and a half. Watched "Summer of Soul", a documentary using excellent rediscovered footage from a series of concerts held in Harlem in the Summer of 1969. The whole film is excellent - one stunning performance after another. Brilliant solos by Stevie Wonder on the drums (I had no idea he could play them) and the organ, Mahalia Jackson and Mavis Staples with an extraordinary gospel duet, BB King playing the blues, Gladys Knight and the Pips with Motown and wonderful cheorgraphed dancing, Sly and the Family Stone with bass driven funk and Nina Simone with some pretty radical politics.
Probably the best music documentary I've ever seen and I've seen a LOT.4 -
I watched the first one and quite enjoyed it - it was kinda hammy but it knew it was and was pretty enjoyable. Some half-decent twists that if it was a standalone would've been a bit shite but I imagine helped link it to the 2nd and 3rd films. Hoping to watch the other 2 at some point but will probably take monthsse9addick said:Did anyone watch the Fear Street trilogy?

In the Earth directed by Ben Wheatley and has already as ever polarised people. Personally found it strange but very intense throughout. Needs to be watched in total blackout

Going to Limbo tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing it.1

I watched them over the last week or so. Quite enjoyed them for what they are and they were pretty well done. As someone brought up on Friday the 13th, Halloween, etc. they were a decent stab* at revisiting my youth. I'll never look at breadslicers in the same way.se9addick said:Did anyone watch the Fear Street trilogy?

Watched 'Old.' Had a good laugh, it's certainly going out of its way to do things differently, for better or (mainly) worse.0

Jungle Cruise.
Typical Dwayne Johnson movie. Watchable if not spectacular. A family affair.0 -
Flat on my back at the weekend with some sort of bug so I hit the movies.
Jojo Rabbit
I tried this before and couldn't get into it but this time I stuck with it and enjoyed it a lot. A cute whimsical Hitler is a big push but fitted into the film as the young aspiring Brownshirt deals with the fact that his mum is hiding a youg jewish girl in the walls of her house. Great acting, and I was dragged along by the film to it's moving finale. 4/5
Jungle Cruise.
I like old Dwayne, and I'm generally a sucker for a Disney movie, and as it had a respectable 69% on rotten tometoes, I went along for the ride. My personal take that it was a silly, dull movie, in which the story made little sense and really needed a lot of work. I'll avoid a guaranteed spoiler but there was one standout fail that annoyed me thrughout. I'll happily go along with the crowd in suspending my doubts for a good fun movie but I just found this one incompetent. 1/5
Inception
seen it before but the disney film made me long for something different. Love everything from the soundtrack to the acting to the effects.

Watched Jojo Rabbit for the first time last week - thought it was brilliant, loved it being equal parts daft, dark humour and yet sad and poignant.
Scarlett Johansson was fantastic in it.3
