Last Film You Watched


Watched Coda last night.
Really enjoyed it and appreciate how the film is playing a role in developing a better understanding of the deaf community.

I’ll be honest. I didn’t know it had won the Best Picture until afterwards, so that may have tempered expectations a bit

Rewatched Man From Earth, and it even improves...comfortable 9/10. The kind of film you shouldn't read about or watch trailers before diving in. One for fans of dialogue-heavy philosophical thought experiments.

Seen it a couple times. Good little film, acting is a bit wavey in parts though and wasn't a big fan of the twist.

Still pretty impressive with some clever writing.

aye, tho' there's maybe
still room to interpret it was all a con...the way John casually mentioned that very specific name from his 60's identity was a bit suss. Still, i took it at face value: he really was this fantastical character. The emotional-breakdown acting from the other guy, realising he's seeing his Dad again, was powerful stuff.
 

Rented that Uncharted on Prime. Absolutely love any film about finding lost treasure or pirates. I mean plot holes galore but it was fun.

Apparently there's a sequel to it too - same lead actor and director tho I haven't heard much about it. Be interesting to see where they went with it but would fear it would repeat itself quite a bit.

5.2 on imdb....yikes. skimmed some of the reviews, lots of disappointed fans of the first one. my experience with imdb scores are unless it's a horror film anything scoring under 6 is likely not worth a go.

i think i'll leave it....

tho' if you brave the waters, report back :cheers:
 

How It Ends

Huge unexplained disaster, blah, blah rescue mission road movie. Absolute definition of the undercooked Netflix film and took a critical kicking by the looks of things but I enjoyed it. Gets a bit involved with it's on-the-nose social commentary but keeps moving along at a fair old clip for the most part.

It's by no means good but fine if you like that kind of end of the world societal breakdown thing.
