Tryna remember the name of a film where a husband goes missing but he’s actually living in like a little hidden room about the garage in his house.

Parasite

We watched Desperately Seeking Susan tonight and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Parasite

Nah isn’t a Korean movie.

Found it anyway it’s called Wakefield.

Rock solid, very focused WWI drama about British civilian miners recruited to dig under the German lines and do some serious dynamiting. This is a first time director on a budget of less than 500k. With a strong cast, tight script, excellent period and trench settings and a nice anti-toff attitude this is actually very impressive and punches well above its weight.

Well recommended, Netflix.

Don't Look Up

It's good not amazing but it's good.

Spoiler
I thought that it was a good play on how messed up the world is. Nods to the corruption of politics (Trump, Boris et al); the impending disaster and the handling of it seemed to draw parallels to the pandemic and the general race to the bottom that is driven by social media had a distinct whiff of the antivax Qanon lunatics.

Interesting that it was written before the pandemic. It really nails what the response to the pandemic was from all angles.

I thought it was very good.

Great write up, completely agree with all of that.

Very good film for the money it cost to make.

Sounds a bit like Birdsong. That was a brilliant book that the film version sadly didn't live upto. Saw it advertised on Netflix the other night but wasn't sure whether it would be a touch claustrophobic for me at the moment, but I'll give it a go on your recommendation.

Bo Burnham : Inside

Not a fan of stand-up comedy - so was wary of this. Thought it was excellent, creative, hilarious and heartbreaking at points

 

[Daz1878]

Watched The Last Duel - thought it was pretty decent and very typical of Ridley Scott... although, like many of his films, it could do with a bit of trimming. Jodie Comer a standout; very wobbly accents from Damon, Affleck & Driver.

Really enjoyed the latest Bond movie just now.

Watched it Christmas night and I think it was decent. The good news is I was that pissed I could watch it again and won't remember most of it. So saving it for New Years eve.

The bit where he was in the Bahamas reminded me alot of the books, I really liked that.

Casino > Spectre > No Time >>>>> Skyfall >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Quantum

Yeah, I'd go along with that assessment.

Thanks for the heads up on this, didn't know about it. I go back to Stone's JFK at least once a year.

Also a nod to Donald Sutherland, in a movie full of excellent performances, he stole the show for me.

Joe Pesci for me. Just loved his mad hairstyle lol

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Joe Pesci for me. Just loved his mad hairstyle lol

The drawn on eyebrows for the win, my gran had a friend who had almost the exact same look as Pesci character in that movie.

Did they do a 3 part series of that or something? Surprised it hasn’t been tried again to be honest. The book is brutal.
