Last Film You Watched

As soon as I saw that kid, my Kopite Spider Sense was on high alert.

Such a bad bad actor

I just wished they’d have the nuts to make it dark and serious. They’re too scared to go away from Marvel’s blueprint with the crappy jokes and the love story and the nonsense. I know he’s powerful as balls but you could make it more grounded. I yearn for more Logan’s.

This is the best low budget film, I’ve seen since Dead Mans Shoes.

However, it really won’t be for everyone, as it‘s very slow and a real head bender at times.

It’s described, as a psychological horror film, but it’s more a study of how acute loneliness, can descend it extreme psychosis, with an element of horror; towards the end.

A shy and lonely young nurse ( Maud ) is stuck off, following an accident at work and ends up working as a private nurse, for a rich lady, who is dying of cancer.

Bit by bit, the young nurse becomes convinced that God is speaking to her and has placed her on the earth to save the soul of the lady who she is looking after.

Morfydd Clark is truly outstanding as Maud and there are real parallels, between the roll she plays and that of Robert de Niro in Taxi Driver, as she exists on the edges of society and slowly slips into madness.

The real beauty of the film, is that it toys with you, as you’re never really sure, if she’s going mad or if God, is actually talking to her.

It was on Film4, so it’ll be on again.

Recommended, if you want a real thinking film, that‘s incredibly sad, as much as disturbing.

Just to add, it's on 4OD for free.
 
The master with Joaquin Phoenix. Supposed to be brilliant and for the first 90 mins I thought it was intriguing but I lost interest towards the end. I have bad man flu though.

I prefer a room for Romeo Brass than dead man's shoes FYI

Thanks for the heads up on Film4, I seen this at the cinema on release and want another view, just downloaded it, might watch tonight if MOTD doesn't appeal!
 
Just got round to finish watching Morbius, can see why it was panned but thought it was ok’ish. Watched in about 3 sittings so clearly wasn’t that gripped by it.
Sony clearly haven’t quite got the measure of this type thing compared to Marvel, interesting cross over at the end though.
 

Blonde. Based on Norma Jean Baker / Marilyn Monroe. Ana de Armas puts on a hypnotic and mesmerising portrayal of an unfortunate and deeply troubled soul. It is something of a a cinematic masterpiece I think. Maybe a bit too artsy and overlong for me - and even as an Everton fan used to heartbreak this plumbed new depths of despair. Need time to process it.

Ignore the reviews, this is one of the all time great revenge films and one of the most brutal.

A gang of rednecks car jack a seemingly wealthy young couple, out in the sticks.

The young couple are in fact experienced serial killers and the rednecks have just made a very big mistake.

Luke Evans is standout, as the male serial killer.

Film4 tonight, at 11.35 - worth staying up for.
