What was the last film you watched?

[S2000Magician]

Kabir Singh. Watched it twice.

 

[shaz619]

Yes the 1994 one is a classic. The remake is awful.

Was looking forward to it, wont see it now

Wanted to see Midsommar this week but they took it off the screenings list because of the Lion King

007 Skyfall - best bond movie from the ones I have seen so far.
Loved Javier bardem as a villain.
Beautiful cinematography as well.

 

[Madplayer]

The ritual
7/10
A well made horror movie. Quite gripping and kept me on the edge of my seat. Acting could have been better but overall a nice blend of mythology, good writing and direction.

John wick chapter 2

7/10
Good one time watch. Not as good as the first one imo.

 

[imrankhannsu]

I took my son to watch the Lion King and it was a decent movie to go if you have young children.

Some of the CGI is amazing and couldnt tell whether it was real or CGI. You definitely need to see this on the big screen to enjoy it.

The major let down was the direction and voice acting which didnt stand out apart from the immortal voice of James Earl Jones. They didnt capture the emotion as they did in the animation. Even the jokes inside the movie were rushed.

Skyfall is the most beautiful looking bond movie and has the best opening but for me Casino Royale is still the best Bond movie

just finished PK and Ghajini

I wish i had not watched Ghajini. Soo depressed now

 

[amvbfm]

I’ve seen all those movies you mentioned just seen Amityville Horror as well was average. Haven’t seen The Thing or Alien. All those other movies It Follows, Get Out, Hereditary were not really scary. I’m trying to find a movie that actually scares me.

The only movies I can say that for are The 2 Conjuring movies and first 2 Insidious movies and the scariest by far in my opinion was Ring but that’s it. Have yet to come across another movie as scary as The Ring. The Amityville Horror was such a disappointment I always heard people hyping it up, upon watching the movie and documentaries it is clear that almost everything about it is done for money. Even the story isn’t that scary. Like the Batsheba story in the first conjuring is more scary than that movie. All you have to do in order to not be possessed is leave the house? Lmao.

I don’t really like reading subtitles so don’t think I’ll watch any Japanese or Spanish, etc movies.

Someone please suggest a scary movie! I’m tired of watching all these movies just to be disappointed. Maybe watching too many horrors has built a resistance. I’m going to rewatch the ring to see if I still find it scary. It’s been a minute since I seen it.

You my friend are desensitized and it is unlikely that you will feel the sort of rush you used to feel regardless of how scary the movies are.

Have seen descent as well? Must watch thing and alien. The production values might be dated but they are absolute classics.

To each his own but you are missing out a lot by ignoring foreign cinema. Even your favorite Ring is an adaptation of a Japanese horror movie.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

just finished PK and Ghajini

Man Amir Khan has been in so many mediocre or downright bad movies. I find it funny when he is hailed as one of the greatest actors. Sure he’s better than the mainstream Bollywood trash and isabive average but he is nowhere near some of the greats

It’s not about being desensitized. I will actually make a long post soon on people who say “x movie did not scare me”. It’s usually not the movie that is the problem

Nah, Amir is a great

Problem is bollywood gives recognition to too many stupid movies, good acting performance are ignored.

If you watch Fanaa, its one of the best movies. The character, the acting, the make up even. But that movie is sooo under rated.

Than the all time legendary movie of his, Rang de Basanti. It was a great movie!!!!

Amir Khan makes great movies and he is one of the best actors. He doesnt overact.

If you watch Ghajini, it was a terrible movie, but the only reason why Ghajini got so much accliam was because of Amir's acting.

If you watch PK, in that movie, one forgets that Amir was PK. Like thats how much his character is realistic in that movie.

Taree Zameen per was a movie that actually made one cry.

Yes there are other factors like where when you watch etc. but desensitization (individual and collective) is a fact. What was considered extreme 30-40 years back (technological refinement aside) say a TCM or Cannibal Holocaust, is neither taboo nor very scary for the contemporary moviegoer.

Obviously. But the idea that a complex thematically dense horror movie like hereditary or the shining doesn’t scare a person as opposed to a kids horror movie like the conjuring is not because of desensitization. I can watch any horror movie by myself in a dark basement without feeling scared. But I choose to immerse myself. It’s about having the emotional intelligence to comprehend what the movie is truly saying. I absolutely hate it when people say I did not find x movie scary. It’s not the movie, it’s them.

You need to broaden your view. Amir Khan is only a great actor in the eyes of someone who is used to watching trash. Watch some complex Bollywood movies like The Lunchbox or Ship of Theseus and compare the stunning performances in those to Amir’s performances.

As they say, in the kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is king. Amir is better than most mainstream Bollywood actors but that isn’t saying much.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

[MENTION=143410]amvbfm[/MENTION] a good example is when I watched The Wailing or Hereditary. Two absolute classic horror movies. Some idiots were actually laughing during the movie and complaining that it wasn’t that scary. But I was personally shaken by those movies. Now are those people braver or more mature? Absolutely not. The opposite in fact. It’s about how you choose to view the movie. And by viewing I don’t mean just watching. They aren’t the same thing.

A few years ago I myself was extremely jaded and frustrated that I did not find any movie scary. I tried to find the right movie that would scare me, but to no avail. Eventually I changed my outlook and I allow good horror to scare me because of how I view it

I dont even watch bollywood, most of the time its just hollywood movies, especially Christopher Nolans.

Hereditary is my favourite post 2015 but it’s not for everyone. Get Out and Us are both brilliant. You’re Next, Hush and Don’t Breathe and brilliant slasher types. The Wailing is a masterpiece and overall probably the best horror movie of the 2010s but you need to be fine with watching it in subtitles.

Then how would you know how bad it is?

Just from trailers?

Or you are going by reviews?

Aladdin's trailer was a joke and the reviews weren't great either but the movie was super fun. Perfect masala movie.

Watched Kabir Singh a few days back.

Direction was really good.

But the love story was atrocious in the first half. I cringed hard so many times.

But the second half was genuinely good.

Had they put in a bit of effort on the love story part of it, it would have been a far better movie.

Still an enjoyable movie.

My wife loved it more than me. I believe she spent half the time ogling at Shahid Kapoor.

Totally agree. But you are ignoring the fact that not every one wants (or perhaps is capable of wanting) the same thing. An average moviegoer doesn't want it to be an intellectual exercise or will dissect or be able to contextualize the larger themes as you want him to. Moreover, personal experiences and traits also shape our frame of reference. What might be boring for someone who has not experienced something similar in real life (and here i am referring to horror very broadly) will be absolutely horrific for someone else. Finally, cultural nuances and context further complicate things. How many people will pause to think what is it that actually scares them? Is it the monster itself or the fact that it can kill you? And if it is the latter then is it not death the real fear?

I was just considering this from the perspective of an average moviegoer who is there for monsters and supernatural phenomenon by the way of jump scares and special effects. And the point about desensitization does hold true given the number of horror movies being churned out and the level of gore and violence and tangible horrors being ramped up at the cost of subtlety to please desensitized masses. On a collective level the ubiquity of internet and cable TV has made a lot of what was considered horrific part of our every day lives. As a result it takes a lot more to elicit suspension of disbelief from jaded audiences.

Once upto. A time in Hollywood -8/10 loved it

Stuber -good one liners but not great overall 6/10

Crawl- 5/10 cringeworthy

might go for booksmart again was amazing first time around.

 

[JaDed]

Amir Khan doesn’t have the range of great actors but he defn knows how to make any story commercial and entertaining barring few exceptions from Yash Raj..

Amit Khan is a great producer, no one produces a movie better than him.

And Actors like Amitabh,Dilip Kumar ,Sanjeev Kumar or any theater actor have a higher range than him.
Amitabh could do a namak halal and trishul-Deewar together and later years do Silsila with ease.
Amitabh’s best performance though is defn Mili and The last Lear.

Among current actors Rajkumar Rao and Pankaj Tripayhi are way better.

Unable to see judgemental hai kya, if anyone has seen plz put a review.

 

[DeadBall]

Those are two good movies but I personally don’t see the correlation.

For me all three are more in the crime thriller genre (like Get Out, A Quiet Place etc), the tension is almost unbearable but nothing that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up or sends a shiver down my spine.

I personally need an element of the supernatural to classify it as a horror movie, especially one where your imagination is let to do most of the work.

Will do. Thanks a lot.

Watched a movie called insomium. Idk what i was thinking. Wasted over an hour watching that crap. I give it 2/10.

And i agree with you that to classify a movie as horror, i too need it to have a supernatural element. Otherwise i just see it as a thriller or something.

What you want is also influenced by pop culture in general, as far as entertainment is concerned in general it has declined which is also a reflection of human civilisation which has also declined both mentally and physically, we are at a point in time where we are unable to comprehend intellectually stimulating cinematic experiences which are not limited to a specific genre. Given the nature of society right now, there is more of a craving for mediocrity as far as the casual observers are concerned hence the demand for movies which would insult the intelligence of the more thought provoking human; the jaded audiences are not entirely as a result of the internet and cable TV; it is simply due to their own lack of development unfortunately. But the success of movies such as Hereditary and TV shows such as the Haunting of Hill House (I can't praise this series enough, one of the greatest pieces of Horror in history) prove that perhaps there is still hope for our kind ?

Can't relate to this enough, I've had similar imbeciles claim Blade Runner 2049 was too boring; boils my blood, they are the problem not the movie; it also reflects in their personality and also how far we have come in the 21st century, Trump as POTUS, Boris taking over the UK etc people are just too thick these days to be honest, it makes me sick when jump scares and brainless explosions are deemed the standard bearer for what we now classify as "excellent quality" . This is nothing to do with what one prefer's, it is a personality and mental issue.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - 10/10

I watched this over a few days, yes it is long but oh my god in heaven; there are no wasted scenes in this movie, and that is emphasised further given how I watched it in parts. The narrative is beyond coherent and the cinematography still stands the test of time! the distinctive use of the long and close shot is what Leone often gets so much credit for (in the end) but how about the music score ? not just the title theme but the mournful ballads which emphasise the nature of a brutal and unforgiving American Civil War setting. Tuco aka Wallach stole the show for me as far as the individual performances are concerns, be it the comedy or his dastardly ways aha and off course the man with no name , not many will ever compare to the presence of Clint Eastwood in a spaghetti western.

After this classic revisit, maybe I should buy Red Dead Redemption ? or maybe I wont, I sort of understand some of the criticism with regards to the story of that game now even though I haven't played it, ideally you'd want to be enthralled on a similar level as this classic when it comes to the characters and environment.

I have to wait so long now for Midsommar to come out on DVD , had been looking forward to it my cinema took it off the showings list so quick, I don't want to watch bloody annabelle comes home

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Watch some complex Bollywood movies like The Lunchbox or Ship of Theseus and compare the stunning performances in those to Amir’s performances.

Aamir's acting in 1947 Earth and Dhobi Ghat is very different from most of his movies. Having said that, he's obviously not as good as he is made out to be. Irfan Khan on the other hand makes it look effortless.

Unforgiven is like the finale of the western genre up till that point

 

[shaz619]

Once Upon A Time in Hollywood - This movie will not be everyone's cup of tea, if you are looking for for something a bit different and more focused on individual characters, personal relationships in a sort of confined narrative you will find this a bit of fun. In essence it was a buddy comedy which blurs the lines between fact and fiction when it comes to the Hollywood industry, but you will enjoy the character journeys along the way; both Dicaprio and Pitt came across really well in their roles to be honest and these two alone make the movie worth a watch. I'd give it a solid 8/10

This was movie no.10 for Tarantino, there has been talk of him hanging up his boots; this movie wouldn't be the worst send off and it sort of embodied his own personal experiences as well when it comes to film making, e.g his movies inciting violence in America for example was one of the metaphors in the narrative, constant homage to westerns and nods to an era which past before he entered the game and what he may well have encountered on a day to day basis during his run. I hope he does return one day though, very few can nail a modern western like him and I'd love to see part 3 of Kill Bill although that story was so perfectly told it is unlikely.

The cinematography is also worth pointing out which was great and he truly captured the settings beauty whilst emphasising that Hollywood culture. It was very pleasing on the eye among other things

 

[shaz619]

I thought you would say that, just watched and loved it , almost liked every frame of it with a great climax.

Dicaprio made me laugh so hard ) hardest since catch me if you can, he showed a high level of versatility here and showed us what a challenge it can be for actors generally speaking, Tarantino probably also wanted to highlight that

You are right. There are too many MCU films. I think they are overdoing it.

However, I highly recommend Ant-Man. I think it is a bit refreshing and story is pretty interesting.

Ant-Man actually got me interested in quantum physics.

Yup, the movie was almost running away with Di Caprio overshadowing everyone till the climax, where Brad finally got to shine!

Tbf Dicaprio showed glimpses of such humor in Wolf of Wallstreet ..

The other thing is Pitt was the supporting act and his role was almost an oxymoron to DiCaprio who was cast as that has been with being a never was and quite satisfied in that happy go lucky vibe, so in the confines of that persona he executed it nicely and complimented DiCaprio really well, both did an amazing job

Umm but then perhaps that has always been the case for the majority of the public. You can't expect the majority of the masses to expend their time and energy on movies that require engagement on a more cerebral level. My point had more to do with the glut of options available and desensitization as a result of the overall world becoming more violent and material. Given the mass availability of cinematic media today it would be wrong to expect a moviegoer to experience the same feelings that people experienced 20, 30 or 50 years ago. For instance in the 60s to 80s the cinema was still the only dominant medium for horror movies. I don't know if you know of or remember those ads in the papers back in the early 80s where horror movies always used to have a disclaimer for "kamzor dil hazraat". The kamzor dil hazraat are still there but the ubiquity of media and technology and normalization of violence are making it more and more difficult for people to suspend their disbelief.

I am currently watching Blade Runner 2049. I think it is a fantastic movie. It also got good ratings.

I watched that movie in IMAX, one of the greatest cinematic experiences of my life. It was incredible, am just sad that due to the decline in civilisation which resulted in the below par box office we may not get a sequel but the movie is sure to age well like its predecessor and make the money back from dvd sales which may inspire a part 3 but that could be years away, in the mean time we can enjoy the cyber punk video game

IT Chapter 2, it felt like the movie was going on and on forever ) jesus christ it was way too long then it needed to be, that may also be due to a fair amount of filler content; overall though it was well made and a solid conclusion to the series (hopefully).

I just finished watching The Hateful Eight and Now You See Me. I found both amazing.

I am currently watching Now You See Me 2. After that, I hope to watch Django Unchained.
