glemiln Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000hqt9 Love & Mercy Focuses on songwriter Brian Wilson’s creativity in leading the Beach Boys during the 1960’s and his struggles with mental illness. The latter not helped by a manipulative doctor played ‘enthusiastically’ by Paul Giamatti. The film cuts between the 1960’s and the 1980’s, with Paul Dano and John Cusack playing, respectively, Wilson during those periods. Cusack, lucky sod, supported by the lovely Elizabeth Banks. The studio music sessions are very good and there is a bonus music feature during the credits. Highly recommended. Only 25 days to watch on BBCIPlayer.

The general view I've got from various critics is that it is better than the original cinematic release (which isn't saying much). I also heard that it is clearly divided into several sections, so you could treat it as a mini-series by taking a break at the end of each one. 1 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

Red Willow Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Think it was divided into 6 parts. I don't think you would lose much watching in parts. I felt it was self indulgent but husband enjoyed it. I think Marvel have a more polished product and many of the characters looked like Marvel ones. Oh and just no to Jeremy Irons as Alfred.

Rawschach Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 4 hour cut of Justice League is much better - Cyborg and Flash actually have characters and the main villain is more than just a generic bit of CGI. Original cut was meh of the highest order, the 4 hour version is good. Last night i watched They Live - cracking bit of 80s cinema. Very subtle politics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrumonside ref Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Six Minutes to Midnight (2021) British thriller set on the eve of World War 2. Reminded me too much of television instead of cinema and it’s a bit patchy in places. Not bad. 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it did not really hang together and I wonder if it was over-edited as it was not as suspenseful as it could have been 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 As for 'They Live', that's a proper B-movie in the best sense of the term. Not sure I'd call it subtle, but great subversive fun.

I haven't seen "2012" for a long time, and was dubious about the book and the film from the start. Good cast, though, so I might have to give it another chance. I like "This Island Earth", though. You know, you can even buy a toy Metaluna Mutant. Google the prices on your DIY Interocitor! 2 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

Futtocks Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) There's one hell of a lot of F@nny in this film.

Shadow Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Mrs Shadow & I watched Palm Springs last night, quite a fun take on the Groundhog Day scenario. Worth the investment of two hours of your life. Thunder Force however.... isn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copa Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I rewatched Se7en over the weekend. It hasn’t aged at all. It’s still a fantastic movie with great pacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxford Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I admit I've been completely disappointed recently with the films I've watched. I can't quite make up my mind which kind of remake I hate the most: the one where they re-do a classic or the one where they ressurect a shouldn't have been made in the first place.

Gerrumonside ref Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Promising Young Woman Difficult in places to watch, but this is a modern classic and highly stylised. 8/10 (I’m enjoying that while Hollywood is holding back on CGI fests that the script based dramas are getting more of a look in). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I've been trying to recall the name of this film for ages, but a random Tweet led me to the unfinished animation The Thief and the Cobbler. Part 1 of 7 here, and the other parts are on the same Youtube account: https://youtu.be/yZibUpH-AME Remarkable artwork.

Bleep1673 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I showed my 12 year old Akira Kurowsaki's "Seven Samurai" at the weekend, and went off half way through it to do our fish curry, she was very quiet, and I thought she had fallen asleep, but when I returned to the living room, she said to me, "Touch the TV and you are dead". She sat through the entire film in one sitting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire Rhino Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Just finished watching Harry Dean Stanton's final role in "Lucky". Absolutely brilliant way for him to go out. 1 2014 Challenged Cup Winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
