What movie did you watch last night? (19 Viewers)

[Anthony]

Father Of The Bride 2. Yep.

I watched A Most Wanted Man over the Paddy's weekend - excellent old school paranoid cold war thriller.
And The Stepford Wives (1975) which was great, dated but still great.
I only copped watching it that Katherine Ross was in Donnie Darko! duh.
Also, watched Jennifer's Body for the first time. Surprisingly good.

passenger 57. Pretty Ridiculous, generic, yet fun early 90's action.
Beyond the gates. Clearly a homage to 80's/early 90's horrors, it wasn't all that interesting, sadly.

Don't breath. Fantastic.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Jackie Brown - 10/10. Might be Tarantino's best work

Absolutely. Classy flick.

To the horn thread with Bridget Fonda and Pam.

There’s a depth to the characters you don’t get in any of his other films, as brilliant as they are. One of De Niro’s best roles too.

Something to do with it not being his original material?

Fun fact, Michael Keaton plays the same character in this as he does in Out Of Sight.

I also love the shit out of this film by the way.

Possibly but the casting is the icing on the cake. Pam Grier and Robert Foster are immensely likeable

Free Fire. Boring, pointless, noisy and a waste of a good cast. I'm beginning to think Ben Wheatley is not all he's cracked up to be.

I haven't seen this or High Rise but I think he's hit or miss. I thought Sightseers could have been any mediocre black comedy. Kill List is amazing, I think he really nailed it. A Field in England is good but not consistent, there are long periods in it that don't add much to the film at all but they are balanced by the segments that are fantastic (literally in the case of the mushrooms trip).

Have High Rise recorded so I'll see how I get on with that.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

I think he's more miss than hit. A Field in England is the only one I really have any time for. I don't get the love for Kill List. For me its two parts don't work together successfully at all. It's like he thought "it'd be cool if I bolted some half baked wicker man shit onto a boring thriller". I like his continued employment of Michael Smiley though. Great actor.

 

[chris d]

I've gone right off that Tom Hiddleston fella. Passed on High Rise because of that.

But I am a Kill List fan. Agree it wasn't 100% there, but it was close enough.

Book is great, John le Carré

 

[hermie]

I thought High Rise was good. Obviously not a patch on the book but an admirable effort not to mention a tough one to pull off.

I think we have to be glad people like Wheatley can still get the attention they receive. But yeah for all the plaudits he's not really delivered a properly great movie yet.

I didn't know that, but it makes sense; the film is very good

It's strange coz reviewers seem to be all over it, so whats up with that? I am looking forward to seeing it as I like Wheatley's films generally, but I agree he hasn't yet delivered, despite the esteem he appears to be held in. High Rise was disappointing.
Haven't seen A Field..., and i found Kill List a bit baffling.
I have Down Terrace recorded and have yet to watch.

 

[travispickle]

Oh and I saw Aquarius last week. Really enjoyed it, Sonia Braga is great in it.

 

[hermie]

Saw Paterson the other night. Liked what it was going for but it didn't really do too much for me.

 

[hermie]

Get Out. Great satire and properly creepy too
