Last Film You Watched

Avatar 2

The WHOLE point of Avatar is the Avatar.

This is a shiny pile of meh. The addition of boring kids and that utter stain of a character called Spider (not from Corrie) is painful.

Just get in the bin
 
Scream (2022)

Didn't really like it at first, but it improved once the original cast started appearing. Felt like the kills were more graphic in this one as well, which was nice. All in all a decent enough film. 6/10
 

Trying to fit in a few festive horrors, so recently have watched Silent Night, Deadly Night and To All a Goodnight. The second of these has one of the most bizarre "night time" scenes ever filmed - characters creeping and stumbling around with torches when it's clearly broad daylight. Kind of adds to the low-budget charm, but still...
 
Violent Night.

Best described as a cross between Home Alone, Bad Santa and Die Hard.

David Harbour (Jim Hopper in Stranger Things ) is great as Santa and looks like he`s having a ball.

No thinking required, just enjoy the murder and mayhem.
Saw this tonight. It was at least 20 mins too long for a film with such a basic plot. The combination of a sentimental Christmas movie with a violent action movie didn’t really work for me…. However there are some inventive death scenes though that make worthy viewing.
 
Dr. Terror's House of horrors (1965)

Anthology movie with Peter Cushing reading a bunch of train passengers futures with tarot cards. Some of the short stories are quite dull, with a couple of okay ones and unsurprisingly enough Christopher Lee's short was the best. It was quite amusing seeing Lee as a pompous art critic. 6/10

Have wittered on previously about this one, still a stunner, and so effortlessly cool. Brilliant.
 
So last night I watched the new All Quiet on the Western Front.
First thing I thought of was it wasn't as depressing as the original, there's something about that one depicting a generation being wiped out that gets too you, I don't think this one gets it across the same.
However it's still a really good film, good adaption on the book. One thing that it does do the original doesn't, is you can see what a bloody mess the place was, that's lost in black and white, the battle scenes are grim
Not seen the remake yet. I know the original is a classic and all that but I really struggle with some of the really hammy actors in it. Seems like there were a lot of theatre or silent film actors still transitioning over to the talkies and they really didn't get to grips with it and the directors didn't seem too fussed either.

Even years later the likes of Olivier were more than capable of turning in massively hammy performances completely unsuited to film.
