Last Film You Watched

nomadland.
Slow and steady, she does doe eyed like no one but. Understood the stone with the hole in it, understood the panoramia. Saw 'Wall street', saw 'Thelma and Louise' and saw another important one that's name won't jump to mind right now. A lament upon the american dream delivered for those outside the 0.01% winners. When you've alienated 99.99% of everyone, it's difficult to turn the ship round. The long lasting scars of victory tend to be undoable.
Every ultimate culture sews the seeds of it's end. History is written in graves.

One of the classics.

Society of the Snow, on Netflix.

The story of the Uruguayan rugby team whose plane crashed in the Andes. Been done before in the 90s movie ‘Alive’, but this one was really excellent. Tipped for best foreign language film for the Golden Globes and Oscars, and can see why. Great acting, beautifully shot. Gripping and emotional.

How does it compare to Alive mate ?

Having read the book and seen the film, I thought the film, didn’t do the book justice.

Watched it yesterday and thought it was great, plus I was delighted to realise I'd watched it all and never thought to change subs from Spanish to English with no problems understanding. Hopefully can watch movies in Spanish with no subs at all in another 10yr or so!

Had watched Alive again a couple yrs back and overall thought this was much better.

Saltburn.

What a mess and why the hell didn’t they just let Barry Keoghan do his own accent ???

What a waste of a fine cast.

Saltburn left me feeling like the director has tried to do something, but ended up with something else without meaning to. IMHO it's all over the place with bits of all kind of indie movies without doing anything original or deciding on what it is. I'm not convinced by Keoghan in general but actually thought he showed a fair bit more range in this. Wouldn't be an expert on the accent but it didn't stick out as being that bad to me.


Now his accent in top boy, thats terrible...

I thought they're both great in their own way.

Pines is a terrific story, well written and acted.

I watched drive with no clue to what it was about and it didn't lose my attention for a second.

(pines is undoubtedly better)

I’ll have to watch Drive again tbf. When it came out so much of the hype was around Winding-Refn and he was lauded as the next big Director. I thought it was tropey guff and 12 years (wowsers) later I’m feeling vindicated as his career looks like it really hasn’t taken off at all.

Please do otherwise your take just looks intentionally unique.
 
I've said before, I do enjoy an Alien clone, and while this doesn't merit a lost gem klaxon, its worth a few tins on a Saturday night

Leviathan.

It's surprisingly well put together for an Alien/Abyss/Thing knock off with a particularly good cast including Peter Weller as a pound shop Ed Harris and Ernie Hudson as a pound shop Yaphet Kotto. Looks pretty good for a De Laurentis production of the era and its quite a decent story until it goes a bit off the rails at the end.

Lot of fun, and the sort of higher grade b movie that you don't often get nowadays.

Available on YouTube on a HD rip weirdly.


Also, whatever happened to Amanda Pays?

She was a bit scrumptious.
