What was the last film you watched? (V2.0)

My review of The Exorcist 3

I don't usually start a review off by mentioning performances. But in this case I must. So much of what works in this movie, works because of its two leads. George C. Scott and Brad Dourif are two of the most volatile, compelling and skilled performers. In this film, we see them at the peak of their powers. George C. Scott is known for his outbursts and this film possibly contains his greatest ones. Brad Dourif also really cranks it up as the psychotic serial killer.

Overall, this is a masterful example of how to craft a horror movie. Most people know The Exorcist 3 because of its infamous jump scare. (Which I am not going to spoil, and which I recommend you do not look up on YouTube since the whole point is that you do not know that it is coming) This is a bit unfortunate because it sometimes overshadows how good the rest of this movie is. Nevertheless, it is probably the greatest jump scare ever put in a film, and any filmmaker who wants to put one in their movie, should sit down and study it. Perfect set up and execution in terms of blocking, camera angles and sound.

The movie is atmospheric with a looming sense of dread throughout. William Peter Blatty knows exactly what to show and what to leave out. An example is the protagonist describing a horrific murder at the start of the film. The director could have easily shown us this. It is often said that a good director shows and doesn't tell. In this case, Blatty does the opposite and it works for two reasons. Firstly, because of the calibre of the actors at his disposal. Secondly, it allows him to sustain tension throughout the film by hinting at these horrors, but only displaying them when the time is right. The use of horrific religious imagery is also very effective.

Not only does this work as a horror film, it is an excellent sequel. Thematically, it explores similar ideas as the first film such as faith, and the battle between good and evil. Yet it looks at these things through a more modern lens. This is evident by the more urban feel of the movie, along with the hospital setting where metallic and cold hallways act as demonic hunting grounds.

Interestingly, this is only one of two films that Blatty has directed. He is primarily a novelist who wrote the books that both this movie and the first were based on. This is why the dialogue here feels like something out of a novel rather than a horror film. An aspect that I personally appreciated.

I was disturbed, yet satisfied by the ending at the same time. Two emotions that don't often blend. Blatty holds nothing back, yet somehow executes the ending with enough care to keep one thinking after the credits roll.

There are some issues here though. It is evident that Blatty is not as skilled a filmmaker as William Friedkin, who directed the first film. The film isn't exactly the best looking and the sound feels a bit off at times. Two people will be talking in the same room at the same intensity, yet one will be much louder. The use of sudden jump cuts can also be a bit jarring and release some of the built up tension. There are also some strange directorial decisions. Throughout the film we see POV shots from the killers perspective, yet we randomly get one from the protagonists perspective. Some might argue that this is done to establish the conflict between the two. I think its just thrown in there without a purpose.

Ultimately, these are all minor issues and The Exorcist 3 is one of the great horror movie sequels.

Severely underrated movie this. Watched it several times.
 
Bad Lieutenant (7.5/10)

Winter Light (9/10)

The title of this film could mean two things. It may be alluding to the presence of light despite the season being Winter. Or perhaps this a unique type of light that is only present in the Winter. That is to say, is there beauty and healing to be found in life despite all the struggles? Or is there beauty to be found within these struggles? In "Winter Light", Ingmar Bergman explores these ideas through a pastor who is dealing with his own loss of faith, while attempting to help those around him with theirs.

The complex themes that the film explores are contrasted brilliantly with the simple way in which it is shot. Bergman does not use any abrupt camera movement, dramatic music or lighting changes to convey his characters' emotions. The role of the camera here is simply to observe in the most economical way possible. And yet, it is a testament to Bergman's skill that the film looks as beautiful as it does. This observation is enhanced by the brilliance with which the film captures emotion through the eyes of its characters. Something that perhaps no other director has been able to do as well as Bergman.

What is most impressive here, is that despite this simplicity, Bergman brilliantly includes subtle images in the background, from time to time. These are often related to nature. One example is a shot where we can see a dead tree in one window, and a flourishing tree in the other. Another is the background of a pivotal scene, which is the specific part of a river where the water transitions from calm to rough, and we see both states of this water simultaneously. These juxtapositions in nature go hand in hand with not only the inner conflicts of the movie's characters, but also the issues of life and death that it deals with.

Human weakness is a theme that is present throughout this film. Everything from people stumbling and making mistakes during their prayers, to spiritual and emotional degradation, along with physical ailments such as disability, rashes or the protagonist's cough which lasts throughout. All of this is combined with the isolation and difficulty that comes with Winter. The mind and soul tend to explore in a Winter setting because the body is confined. This exploration can lead one to lose their faith, or strengthen it. Bergman explores this inner volatility of human beings, by observing both scenarios.

Ultimately, despite all the death, weakness, and uncertainty around us, the film conveys the importance of living for oneself as well as others.

Early on in the film, a light shines upon the pastor as he slowly loses his belief in God and himself. After the end, we realize that this is not the light of enlightenment. This is the light of hopelessness and disdain. The winter light.

*note : While watching this I could not help but think about how similar Paul Schrader's "First Reformed" is to this. Schrader was very clearly inspired by this work. Most notably, how the protagonists of both films deal with their personal crisis, while trying to help someone who is distraught over apocalyptic scares within a world that is modernizing. I would be interested in writing a comparative piece on both films, in the future.*

The Conjuring 3 (4/10)

I may not the biggest fan of the first two Conjuring movies but if they had anything going for them, it was their simple and grounded premise, combined with James Wan’s signature direction. The third instalment has none of that and is needlessly bloated and convoluted. Apart from a few interesting moments, it is utterly mediocre and forgettable.


*There was a scene in the beginning where a priest arrives in front of a house containing a possessed child, and another where Vera Farmiga’s character goes into a creepy attic. These were shot very similarly to scenes from The Exorcist and Fincher’s Zodiac, respectively. Nice homage to those films.*
 
Get Carter (6.5/10)

The latest instalment in the Fast and Furious franchise has made an estimated $70m (£50m) during its first weekend on release in the US and Canada.

It means Fast & Furious 9 - released as F9: The Fast Saga in North America - is the most successful film to be released since the Covid-19 pandemic began.

The sequel, which had already opened in several overseas territories, has now made more than $400m (£287m) worldwide.
 
Saw 2 Pakistani movie and 1 Bollywood.

Where can I see that first movie Pinky Madam??

I saw a South Indian movie with a similar theme "Gadhama" about a lady who gets promised a job in Gulf and is sent as a maid and her troubles begin there..
 
Dune - finally released worldwide after delays and it was worth the wait. Spectacular movie. I liked it so much that I've have to make time to read to books.
 
The Forgotten Battle on Netflix.

A story about the last days of the Nazi Germany’s occupation of part of the Netherlands, before liberation by the British Army.

I’d give it 6/10.
 
No Time to Die.

A bit too long to be a taught story like the better Craig Bond films, but with plenty of fan service, the usual rousing score by Hans Zimmer and a surprisingly moving conclusion. This iteration of Bond brought full circle, and Craig’s era wrapped up.

It's also the last film I watched.
I have to say I was disappointed. Tried to bring humour in to it which just didn't work and the interaction between him and the new "agent" felt forced. There was just no chemistry between them.

In Skyfall it was stated that Q didn't like flying and here he spent the last 60 minutes of the film on a plane with zero discomfort.

Also, the time elapse wasn't clear. One minute he's putting Madeliene on a train and then supposedly 5 years have past and she's now allowed to visit Stavros in jail.

They show Stavros as having lost his mind and then suddenly he's of sane mind again and orchestrated everything in Cuba.

The ships that were heading to the Island and the need to blow it before that happens. What every happened to those ships? What was the urgency? They didn't show one single ship.

Then you have Safin. His back story was weak. From being orphaned to turning in to a very rich criminal mind who wanted to take out a large chunk of the worlds population... Bit far fetched.
Also, he saved Madeleine when she was young teenager but didn't seem to age much.

Eveyrtime I saw Safin it reminded me of Freddie Mercury.

So many little things that just didn't stack up and it left me feeling a tad disappointed.
The wife however loved it...wonder why?
 
Looking forward to watching Dune having read bits of the book and especially Lamb - another folk horror by A24

Arguably a movie too far. By the end of SPECTRE, Bond had got to the bottom of the Vesper mystery.

I think they threw too many ideas together.

Making Blofeld look like Dr Lecter (I guessed that his “insane” mumbling was SPECTRE code) and then a copy of the scene in Dark Knight where Bats goes nuts interrogating the Joker.

Safin did seem to come out of nowhere.

I wasn’t sure what the CIA girl in Cuba was all about and how it served the plot. Noomi should have done that.

Bond and Leiter a bit too chummy.

Why didn’t Bond’s EMP device blow out his earpiece?

But…

I liked the fan service - the nods to Lazenby/OHMS, the DB5 and the V8 Vantage, the secret island with the big Connery-era set.
 
Oh boy. I’ve watched so many films since my last post on this thread. Need to update it. I was on track to watch my goal of 200+ films this year but been a bit busy since returning to Canada. I’ll probably end up with around 180 films watched this year.

Dune was awesome , watched a movie in theater after soo long and loved it.

Amazing direction , story and great villains and the premise is set for a great setting , wish it was a series though.

Only issue with it is most sci movies probably coz they are based out of books (Dune came out in 1965) they absolutely ignored AI could exist and humans are still the implementers /users of technology.

I think I'm getting more and more cynical as I get older because I couldn't stand the film.

Great ensemble cast but so cheesy.
Couldn't find any thing positive to say about this Two and a half hour bore fest.

Storyline = rubbish
Acting = rubbish
Deaths of certain characters = pointless rubbish

Seemed lock a cross between Star Wars and Harry Potter.

The wife ofcourse loved it so it must just be me.

Lol , One character’s death in the end did seem stupid.

The comparison with Star Wars is not far fetched but because Dune the books came out before Star wars original, I have to say they(star wars) were probably inspired.

I do see similarities between the Harry Potter and Star Wars franchise , won’t disagree but i see it positively inspired than cliche but again just imo.

There is certain GOT vibe to it as well :p again have to say all in positive note.

I could had liked this movie probably coz it’s been forever since I saw one and that too at theater, I was just grateful to watch one.

I managed to check it out finally in IMAX and it was a long time since I had been to cinemas was a great deal of fun to be there again in these times.

I concur, I thought it was brilliant, maybe partly because the competition hasn’t been too strong when we are looking at sci-fi movies/adaptations of this magnitude but they did a good job with the time they spent laying out the groundwork for the main narrative, kept things simple and didn’t force feed. It wasn’t just explosions, spaceships and the evil overlord wrecking havoc trope. I absolutely loved the eerie atmosphere they were able to build and showcase during the day and night, consistent with the slightly darker tone. This century, Blade Runner is right up there arguably, maybe that was a bit too philosophical but I enjoyed it a great deal, this wasn’t exactly of that vein but there was some political commentary which you could apply to the last the 30-50 years and beyond that, the pace maybe satisfies most groups of viewers as it gives a little bit of everything.

I found the dreams a bit pointless in a way though because they didn’t really amount to much did they lol it was like two awkward teenagers ***, either do more with the dreams or not have them there at all, I do have the book but didn’t read it, maybe someone can shed light on how it compares to the source material.
 
14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible

Fearless Nepali mountaineer Nimsdai Purja embarks on a seemingly impossible quest to summit all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter peaks in seven months.

Absolutely brilliant
9/10
 
House of Gucci- 8/10

I thought it was brilliant. Old school story telling. Great acting, great dialogues, great costumes and imagery. Some of the symbolism and philosophical angles are so artistic.
 
The Rock.

A classic 90s action thriller film set on Alcatraz Island. It has been (unofficially) argued as the last James Bond film starring Sean Connery, via some rather convincing and committed fan theories.

There is a brilliant musical score, as well as some absolutely fantastic scenes and performances — particularly from Ed Harris, and the underrated David Morse, and the underused but gripping Michael Biehn.

even Nic Cage is just about tolerable in it.

9/10

Asimov wrote I, Robot in 1950.
 
Going to have to wait for Dune to come out on home media. No way my little kids could sit through it in the cinema. And to be honest I would want to fully immerse myself in such a sweeping, epic film without distractions. I’ve heard great things about this version and cannot wait! :)

It was launched simultaneously on HBO streaming service unless it's different in UK..
 
Did anyone watch Spider-Man recently? I liked the greatest hits but overall it was well made but unspectacular and average, am surprised by how critically acclaimed marvel movies are at this point, I’ve not seen anything compelling from them since Logan

I liked it. Lacked the usual humour. For a while I thought the main character was some sort of supernatural figure.

Before that, Spielberg’s West Side Story. Very good.
 
In The Heights. A very gentle and PG musical about working class Hispanic Americans growing up in mid/late 20th century New York, but it was at least appropriate for the family audience that was present on our sofa! 7/10.

saw this the other day, big fan of jason statham movies and thought it was good, storyline a bit jumpy but made up for it with the action.

The gentleman is another of his ive seen recently again really good movie loving the new persona of hugh grant too, moving from his typical romcom roles to british gangster.

Theres another one called operation fortune coming out early next year similar cast looking forward to it.
 
watched Venom 2 yesterday, decent enough movie but for me they made venom into some over friendly nice guy, think the first one was defo better

Enjoyed it.
 
Just finished watching the new Spiderman movie in cinema. I'm not a Marvel fan but I really enjoyed it. Some emotional scenes but plenty of euphoric scenes too! 8/10
 
The Spider-man movie is a home run. Good stuff. Also anjoyed the new Sandra Bullock film on Netflix.

Going to watch the new Matrix movie on HBO tomorrow morning soon as it comes out.
 
I’d give spider-man a 10/10, my nephew loved it, a great movie for the kids
 
Don’t Look Up.

An all-star cast tells a fable for our times as a planet-killing comet bears down. A satire on populism, COVID denial, climate change denial, social media, tech billionaires, and the reduced influence of the scientific community in the post-truth era.

A little uneven in tone and fifteen minutes too long, but ultimately moving as human stupidity and arrogance comes to naught as the cosmic hammer falls.

8/10

Paw Patrol The Movie.

Daughter’s Christmas present.

I’d say 4 out of 10 at best…

Bond was really lame. I haven't watched these films for a long time because I got sick of the same old formula, but for some reason I was expecting this would be different. How wrong I was.

Spiderman was a decent pastime but not really memorable either, but as much as you can expect from a superhero movie. Nice to see Maguire and Garfield, also good to See Dafoe and the guy who plays the Doc Octopus, but they were all much more relevant in their original films.
 
Spiderman - 5/10 maybe 6/10 at a push.

Dragged on a wee bit and also at the end of the film you realise that everything that had happened was avoidable and pretty much spidermans fault.
 
Before going to see Spiderman I'd went through a bit of a busyperiod in work so was more interested in watching easy to watch films that I could occasionally scroll through my phone while watching than watching anything too intense.

So I took a trip down memory lane and watched/rewatched the following:

Home Alone 1 - This was a real trip down memory lane and has something for all the family. A genuinely unique premise at the time and hasn't aged too much. 8/10

Home Alone 2 - I didn't remember this as vividly as the first one so it was a bit like watching it fresh. Not as enjoyable as the first and probably a bit more far fetched, however, still a cracking film that stands the test of time. 7/10

The Devil Wears Prada - This was my wifes pick. Reasonably enjoyable and I can't really complain about seeing Ann Hathaway and Emily Blunt on screen for an extended period of time. I could also indirectly relate to some of the stuff the main character was going through, in terms of working for a horrible yet brilliant boss and how chasing a career can draw a wedge between friendships. A solid 6.5/10

Hustle - Recommended by netflix perhaps because it also stars Hathaway. 4/10. Worth a watch for the occasional fully line but not a great movie.
 
A Quiet Place. Part 2.

Terrible. Nowhere near as good as the first one.

2/10

Two astronomers go on a media tour to warn humankind of a planet-killing comet hurtling toward Earth. The response from a distracted world:

The Batman

Possible the worst film I've seen in a very long time.

Utter garbage.
 
Old.

A 2021 American thriller film written, directed, and produced by M. Night Shyamalan. The plot follows a group of people who find themselves aging rapidly on a secluded beach.

Weird but interesting 5/10.
 
[MENTION=137142]JaDed[/MENTION] I am yet to see Tenet, what did you make of it?
 
The Batman - I enjoyed it although the run time was a bit much but it didn’t feel long. May watch it again to see how I find it plus it was so cold in the damn theatre

Pitiful

Seen to many different versions of Gotham City...
It's not something that tickles my fancy...

I know I'm being extremely cynical but for me it was a Batman film too far.
Enjoyed Joker very much as it was the first origin film for a such a character.. brilliant screenplay and fantastically acted. But to see another version of Batman, going over the same things but in a different style was just tiresome.
 
Not a film, but a TV show on Apple TV - Severance.

There are 9 episodes in total, 7 of which have been released.

It is simply outstanding.

I would highly, highly recommend to anyone and everyone.

The concept explored is ground-breaking and thought-provoking, the characters wonderful, the pacing and tension of the story amazing. Not to mention the narrative bombshells that leave you utterly speechless, as I am currently after Ep 7.

I had to endure watching each episode weekly as it came out, but if I had started now, with the way it hooks you, no doubt I'd have unwittingly binged all episodes to completion.

10/10 so far. Anyone else seen this? Agree or Disagree?

Sky take your arm and leg, you should cancel it mate. I would stick to Netflix/Prime and use NOW TV pass sporadically (as and when I need to for the sky TV and sports).

Apple TV shows are exclusive to their platform unless you explore other routes :butt But having Netflix/Prime, Apple TV and NOW TV (sporadically) surely must be way cheaper then the extortionate sky packages

Another way is, I think if you buy a new iphone you get Apple TV free for a set period (not sure if this is on now) or if you buy a new TV from curry’s you get Apple TV free for 3 months

I had to endure watching each episode weekly as it came out, but if I had started now, with the way it hooks you, no doubt I'd have unwittingly binged all episodes to completion.

10/10 so far. Anyone else seen this? Agree or Disagree?

I may check this out, I have other shows from there on my list which have been great:

Servant - One hell of a slow burn horror, not seen the latest season yet

Ted Lasso - I think there’s a new season out

There is also a stephen king adaptation on there
 
Army of Thieves - Watched half of it so far, decent and well made but nothing out of the ordinary thus far, great to see Guz Khan though, pretty insane to see this bloke do so well coming out of small heath! but good on him

Cheers mate. Do you know if this is available on any other platforms? I am already paying a billion dollars a month on sky tv, sky sports, sky cinema, prime video & netflix. Dont want to pay for apple tv.

Sadly this is an Apple TV original so doubt it would be available anywhere else.
