What movie did you watch last night? (16 Viewers)

[nooleen]

i watched elysium just before bed and had horrifically violent dreams all night

 

[David Kronenbourg]

I'm watching a film called Desierto in which Gael Garcia Bernal leads a group of Mexican migrants being hunted down by a homicidal racist with a high powered rifle while trying to cross the border. It's basically Wolf Creek if Mick Taylor was a Trump fan rather than a sex murderer. Pretty tense if a bit predictable. The music is pure Terminator meets It Follows.

The extended version of Suicide Squad. What was all the fuss about? I thought it was quite enjoyable.

 

[xsteox]

The martian. Enjoyable enough aul film.

 

[pete]

Jason Bourne. Enjoyable referring to him as Jason Byrne at every opportunity.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Jack Reacher. Tom Cruise in Jason Bourne mode. Not as good as the first three Bournes. Better than the most recent one.

The new one or the first one? I thought the first was alright.

First one. Haven't seen the new one. Cruise is generally reliable in these big budget action flicks. Quite liked the last Mission Impossible film too

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Arrival. Smart, thought provoking and moving sci if film. Strong performances and great special effects. One of the best films I've seen this year. Roll on Bladerunner 2!

Edge of tomorrow is terrific I thought.

It wouldn't be one of those but I've had a hankering to rewatch Collateral recently.

Yeah, Edge of Tomorrow is ace. I wouldn't be Michael Mann's biggest fan but Collateral still holds up

 

[Unicron]

I saw Norturnal Animals, if it was just the story within the story it'd be great but was dragged down a lot by the Amy Adams is rich and sad stuff. Having said that the scene with her and Laura Linney was deadly

 

[Lili Marlene]

Arrival. Smart, thought provoking and moving sci if film. Strong performances and great special effects. One of the best films I've seen this year. Roll on Bladerunner 2!

yeah but:

Spoiler

1. A better film would be Aliens arrive and we spend the whole film following Amy Adams and friends decoding their language, the end.

2. more importantly, why is she the only one who can see into the future? Wasn't that the whole point of the language?
Is the book she writes about it really bad and doesn't actually teach else anyone to read the alien language?

Or did you have to go into their pod to get her special powers?

My Scientology Movie. I expected better from Louis. This was quite poor. Give it a miss.

 

[GO]

Arrival. Brought Daisy along and we fucking loved it

I also watched Japanese movie called Our Little Sister the other night..which was good for a chick flick.

Spoiler

1.Agreed, but Hollywood. Need to introduce peril to get the bums on seats. Who's gonna watch a film about linguistics? Also, they figured that language in what seemed like a couple of weeks!

2. Not sure. My guess is that the aliens liked her because she made them laugh so they gave her special powers!

 

[Mormon Nailer]

Fantastic Beasts.

I liked it a lot.
Eddie whatshis face is great.
The girl doing the Maralyn impression was great too.
Even Fogle was OK.

Plotwise there seems to be two completely unrelated strands on the go with little enough to link them and with each having a wildly different tone.

It was like continually cutting between Willy Wonka and the Excorcist.

 

[dunderhead]

newly added to Netflix, german movie Victoria. Was looking forward to seeing this for ages having had the score on LP for a good while before it's release and also to see how this one take movie could possibly work. Absolutely fucking loved it. Completely blown away. Highly recommend, imagine it would divide opinion though

 

[hugh]

I thought it was brilliant too.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Thought Victoria was far too long.
