Last Film You Watched

[neil999]

Binge watched the 5 series leading upto the finale which I watched last night. I enjoyed it but I think you're right in that there was too much story to fit into a film and it feels as though they cut too many corners compared to a series.

Uhtred of Bebbanburg is probably my favourite literary character. I absolutely loved the books and the TV adaptation was very good too IMO. Last nights film brought an end to both and I can't help feeling a little deflated. At least I have Everton to cheer me up.

Be better if they had just focused on the big battle, with a bit of a lead up and explanation

Willy's Wonderland.
Madness, loved it.

Knives out, he does a decent Ustinov.

‘The Big Lebowski’ Turns 25: “People Didn’t Get It,” Jeff Bridges Recalls

The Dude looks back — and shares his behind-the-scenes photos — from the Coen brothers’ beloved take on L.A. noir. The film has inspired legions of fans, an annual festival and even a religion, but it wasn’t an instant hit in 1998.

Nice article on the abiding longevity of all things dude, with some cool behind the scenes photos.

Assassin Club, exceptionally bad in every way possible

United 93. The annoying small talk when they all board the plane makes me far less sympathetic to their eventual plight. Guus Hiddink in the air traffic control room is decent.

'People didn't get it' ?

I feel for those people. Def sounds more of a reaction from people of this era tho...

Operation Fortune. Ruse de Guerre. Was OK I suppose, worth a watch if you have nothing else to do. Standard Jason Statham fare tbh. Not the best Guy Ritchie film I've seen either and I wouldn't have guessed he was the director had I not seen the credits.

Seems Hugh Grant is getting a name for himself playing the "cockney geezer". Quite enjoyed it in The Gentlemen but getting a bit bored with it now.

I thought his monologue at the end was cool though.

That was probably the only thing Guy Ritchie about the whole film.

Saw the new restoration of Raging Bull at the cinema - it's hard to remember, but it might be the first time I've seen the film since the 80s. Still an incredible piece of cinema, and one that's much more powerful now I'm so much older. Would definitely recommend getting along to it if it's showing near you.

I really like Hugh Grant as the extremely slimy creature hes been playing.

Just took his character from The Gentlemen and plonked it in a new role IMO. It was original the first time around and I liked it.

Also enjoyed it but all those twists and turns being condensed into one film really showed up how heavy on the plot armour that series was. Still a very enjoyable bit of historical fantasy though. Great battle scene, a fun "Son of..." joke and I did like the final scene.
