Us (2019)

Family on holiday gets terrorised by their doppelgangers.

Great idea but I felt it cheats in the way it initially presents the backstory to the viewer which lessens an already unnecessary twist. Bit slowly paced in parts as well with a very clunky exposition dump towards the end. Great ideas, themes and performances though.

Definitely worth a watch and is a good film but doesn't hit the heights of Get Out.

I enjoyed this one. It also gets many bonus points for its great use of "I Got 5 On It".

The more I`ve watched it, the more I`ve come to appreciate it.

I hated at first, as the book is such a masterpiece and the things like the inclusion of the Charlize Theron at the start was just wrong.

I`d have liked them not to have " bottled it " and stayed faithful to the book, but at the same time I can see why they didn`t, as it`d never got past the censors and would`ve been too tough for mainstream audiences to watch.

A Directors Cut would`ve been good.

Coming to America 2 on Prime......
just ok, a few laughs, bit of a parody of the original really rather than a sequel, but good enough for whiling a few hours away on a Sat afternoon.
loads of original cast and a few funny cameos.

Watched Sideways again. Brilliant

Watched Sideways again. Brilliant

I accidentally went to "The Hitching Post" for lunch whilst in California.

Didn't realise until a few days later.

I know. Cool story.

This on Netflix,mainly because it has Woody Harrelson in it as a mad preacherman,not sure what I made of it,the two lead actors are great,but the role of Davids wife,who has a lot of screen time doesnt really add to the story,it makes it overlong and slows the pace right down,its a decent enough film and story it just seems to be padded out with a lot of pointless scenes

Just watched this.

It’s kind of a diluted Western Apocalypse Now.

You’re spot on with what you say about it being padded out, when there was no real need to.

There’s too much spacing between stuff happening that’s relevant to the film, which is shame as all the ingredients are there for it to be a very good film.

The main one to me being they bottled it on the violence for some reason.

It could’ve been dark and moody as hell and that’s where the blank bits are.

It hàd a lot of potential,the 2 lead roles were excellent I thought,but the wife added nothing to the plot and a lot of screen time was given to her,it was decent but seemed to lack any real pace to it,felt a lot longer than it actually was

Rewatched Annihilation. I think its one of the better sci-fi's of the last 10 years although it is a tad formulaic, but the beautifully strange world inside the shimmer makes it unique.

Really hope adaptations are done for the other books.

Agree, she added nothing whatsoever to it all, to the point that they could’ve written her out of it and it would’nt have made any difference.

The ending felt rushed and unfinished too.

Liam Hemsworth proved that he can act though.

A pretty unoriginal film, and then there's this massive twist that I didn't see coming that made made say "OH $HIT!" out loud and left me stunned. Worth watching for that alone.

 

[McBain]

The Last Picture Show and Midnight Cowboy. Going through a bit of a Hollywood New Wave rewatch. Such classics.

Also watched The Great Escape with my 11 year old and she absolutey loved it. Strange to introduce her to the 2nd World War and field a million questions about POW’s and the conventions around prisoners, and you could see how far away we are now from what we grew up taking for granted.

Coming 2 America
