stanton Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Ad Astra - A little bit disappointing if I’m honest. Visually it’s excellent but I found the story a bit poor , maybe I need to watch it again . 6-10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Always fancied watching Closer and got round to it tonight. Always liked Clive Owen and the lovely Natalie Portman, less so Julia Roberts and even less so Jude Law but thought they were all very good in it. 7/10 and not sure music in strip clubs is good as that (and Clive Owen must have had quite an eyefull in the strip club scenes). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it was Coppola's latest cut of the film they were showing? I remember seeing the Redux cut when it came out, and it's mental how much they originally shot that never really had a chance of making it into the film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Husk (2011) 5 folk have a car accident out in rural USA, they spot a farmhouse beyond a cornfield. They make for the old farmhouse, through the cornfield, where they are assailed by evil looking hooded figures. I thought this would the usual cheap run of the mill slasher type horror, but it had a decent supernatural storyline. Good background music & visuals, a well made film. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No' sure - planning to watch it later - the version that's on the BBC i-player is 2 hours 5- minutes long. I've aye found it a long and slow film, but that's never bothered me. Great film, like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw that in the cinema. You can almost smell the weed and booze wafting down to you from the screen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can almost smell the weed and booze wafting down to you from the screen. I watched it in a cinema, which had just upgraded its sound system so you got the full experience of the acoustics. When the helicopter flew overhead in the opening scenes, you could see people in the audience instinctively ducking and looking up at the ceiling. Not me though; I'm way too savvy for that. But a couple of minutes later when you heard the mosquito, I was flinching and looking around for the little b*****d. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 More a recommendation, Knives out is on Amazon prime which is a nice wee watch.Excellent, thanks for that. Fire alarm went off 45 minutes in when I saw this at silverburn and it was going to be an hour before it started back, so we went home. Will be good to finally finish it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 The Hills Have Eyes Saw the remake years ago which was pretty eh and this is considerably better without being great. Feels like an inferior Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but is still pretty entertaining even if the parents in this are all pretty craptacular. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a story behind why it was even made, but the general idea was that Wes Craven didn't want to do it, and it shows. The sequel to the remake wasn't the best film in the world, and is disturbingly obsessed with gross mutant rape, but does feature the "Shitman the Barbarian" scene, which got a laugh out of me for its sheer unexpectedness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverton End Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Night of The Living Dead (1990) Remake of Romero's 1968 movie, directed by Tom Savini. Doesn't stray too far from the original, Barbara has balls this time though. Enjoyable 7.5/10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly how I'd describe someone who is evidently on the autistic spectrum. His mother has openly admitted although he was never tested, he displays all the same traits as his father who suffered from Asperger's. Honnold himself admits he should have been diagnosed as a youngster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely but there are times where it seems like he won't consider his girlfriend's feelings on matters, even if that isn't true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 The Hobbit 1. A fantasy adventure about a quest to a lost kingdom to reclaim gold from a dragon. Nowhere near as good as LOTR but decent enough. They should have toned down the CGI and the dwarfs' terrible regional British accents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
