Dosser-fae-the-shire Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Could people go back to putting (for example) Netflix, Sky, cinema, DVD after their films so we know where you have watched them, in case we want to do so, please? Aye, this was really useful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustOneCornetto Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 David Lynch: The Art Life (cinema GFT) Pretty honest and interesting look at Lynch's early years. He narrates the full film as we see him working on a variety of his art projects, speaking about his childhood and relationship with his mother and father. The dark streets of Philadelphia seems to have been the biggest influence on his art and then his films. The film is interspersed with loads of his dark, surreal art which is so recognisable in his films and the soundtrack is also typically Lynchian, industrial, brooding sounds. It ends at the point where Eraserhead has been made and looks as if it his career is about to launch. Will obviously appeal mostly to Lynch fans. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Candyman As far as horror films go, it has a relatively decent chill story and doesn't involve zombies, so for that it gets 7/10. (DVD, just for you Bully Wee Villa). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 It Comes at Night ( Cinema ) Agree with Christophe that this is not a horror, so anyone expecting one from this will be sorely disappointed, but I'd assume most people know to take any marketing for any movie with a pinch of salt. It IS a tremendous claustrophobic thriller with enough paranoia and desperation to be gripping most of the way. Takes a while to settle into it's groove but when it does, it grabs hold. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Despicable Me 3 Decent enough. Nothing outstanding about it but can't fault it at all. Doesn't drag on, lots of Minions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Spiderman, newest one at the cinema, enjoyable but relatively predictable. The final end of credits scene is absolutely brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 War for the Planet of the Apes (Cinema) I hate my self for saying this but I didn't really enjoy it. The first instalment of the recent trilogy is a massive favourite of mine and I thought that the sequel was really strong overall. This feels very detached from those two, mainly because it is now all out war and I felt the whole thing was handled quite poorly. There were enough good elements in the early stages of the film but the second half didn't really grab me in any way. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to see this with my son who is a big marvel fan. I quite enjoyed, more importantly he loved it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Went to see The Big Sick last night -- a kind of autobiographical story of how Kumail Nanjiani (out of off of The Silicon Valley) met the woman who would become his wife, Emily Gordon. So he's Pakistani, she's white, his mother is trying to set him up with every single Pakistani woman in Chicago. He can't tell his mother about Emily, she freaks out about this, they split up and then she gets sick and ends up in a coma, and he ends up hanging out with her parents (Holly Hunter and Ray Romano) in the hospital. As romantic comedies go where the leading lady is asleep for three-quarters of the movie, it's pretty good, heart-felt stuff; funny when it needs to be. Ray Romano is surprisingly good and Kumail Nanjiani can do no wrong in my eyes. Recommended. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Keep Quiet (Netflix):Documentary film about a Hungarian Nazi who finds out he has Jewish blood and ends up becoming a practising Jew.Powerful and upsetting, as you would expect, but very good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooky Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Dunkirk (cinema)Don't want to say too much since it's just out, but it's everything I wanted and more. Both the score and the cinematography were utterly spellbinding. Think I was a bit concerned I'd hyped it up a bit too much before going, but I don't think I could have asked for much else.10/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth watching if you're in the mood to watch a screenplay disappear up its own arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 An hour and 45 minutes seems short for a Nolan movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it had to be in the sense that it just bombards you from the very first minute and to have it go another half hour would maybe be a bit too much. Dunkirk (cinema) - Nolan is a wonderful filmmaker and this is a masterclass in direction, cinematography and sound. The music and sound in particular are absolutely superb (you have to try and see this in the cinema if you can). I left the cinema feeling totally gripped by the whole experience but I would say that I found some of the story threads weak in parts but not enough for me to be too distracted (the handling of the timescales felt a little off for me). Overall a brilliant cinematic experience and Nolan can do no wrong in my eyes. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
