I'd imagine WW being the best DC film refers to the DCEU from Man of Steel onwards. WW is easily the best of those, but doesn't touch the Nolan trilogy or Burton's Batman/Returns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say they can't touch those films 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Love, Simon - 9/10An absolute joy of a film. The 1 hour 50 minutes absolutely flew by.Top performance from Nick Robinson and a good ensemble to boot.It’s a proper feel good film without being OTT so would highly recommend it.Will need to dig out the novel it’s based on to see how much of it made it to the big screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy boo Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer......6/10 Loosely based on a true story/characters and highly recommended by Sunday Times. Looks very dated now and obviously very low budget. Pretty gory and intense at times but disappointing overall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Given what seems to be unfolding in the Middle East, I thought it was appropriate to give Threads (1984) a revisit. Yeah, it's a bit dated but it may well be prophetic. Replace Iran with Syria and it could easily be a documentary of what we could face in the next month or so. A remastered edition of the DVD has just been released. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very powerful, despite the low budget... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years since i've watched him but had a low budget B movie feel about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordfishtrombone Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) The Big Sick(Amazon Prime) A Judd Apatow film It is probably technically a romantic comedy which is the worst genre of films. It was excellent, it's the Asian guy from Silicon Valley who also wrote it and is about his relationship with an American girl, the culture clash, her getting sick and his subsequent conflict and bonding with her parents while she is ill. Sounds awful but it is a really good low key film with some really funny bits amongst the drama. Ray Romano's performance is a revelation as the girlfriends father. I hated his sitcom but he is tremendous in this film. 9/10 Edited April 14, 2018 by Swordfishtrombone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Isle of Dogs -- Finally got round to seeing this one. It was decent entertainment and for the most part beautifully animated. Couldn't work out why some of the shots were set up the way they were, with just the head of the character popping up at the bottom of the frame. But the storyline was easy on the brain and the Japanese culture, or Wes Anderson's imagining of Japanese culture, was pretty interesting. I guess I expected a bit more from it, or for it to linger beyond the walk back to the car. Not bad by any means. Not great either. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One actress played something like four parts. The cast provided their own wardrobe because there was no budget. Extras were mostly actually pedestrians going about their day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 The Devil Rides Out Absolutely loved this. One of those ones where I'd been planning on watching it for ages and hadn't gotten round to it. I like how it starts with a very simple premise and then just goes deeper and deeper into the horror. There's some shaky moments with the effects, but I'd say that's understandable. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 A Quiet Place -- I can't think of a recent horror movie that's so unrelentingly tense and frankly terrifying as this. And usually once you see the creature, it loses its power but this one somehow managed to retain its scare value. Brilliantly done. 9/10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
