Rate The Last Movie you Watched

LT42 lolz. A pair of swastika slipmats ‘which are actually an ancient symbol meaning peace, actually’

I do wish they would stop.

Millsy lol, do your research

Hard Eight (1996). The last Paul Thomas Anderson-film I’d not seen yet. His debut which he made when he was 24. A fact which makes one to forgive a lot of the small flaws this film has. Great stuff is 90s Gwyneth Paltrow when she was actually a good actor, a great small scene with Philip Seymor Hoffman, and Philip Baker Hall in the one lead role I’ve ever seen him do. John C. Reilly can play a great idiot. Samuel L. Jackson however seems to think he’s in a Tarantino-movie. He basically did the same thing again a year later in Jackie Brown.

Homegrove Great film that - only saw it last year for the first time.

Only watched 1 film on the plane on my holiday.

A Real Pain. Really enjoyed it, an easy watch and Kieran Culkin was very good in it. 7/10

I did start watching the latest Beetlejuice, but the headphones stopped working after 40 mins so went to sleep instead.

Thanks Rich.

Sinners (2025). Ryan Coogler wrote and directed a vampire-movie set in Mississippi in 1932, starring Michael B. Jordan in a twin role, and it’s a banger. Like a From Dusk till Dawn, but instead of Mexicans you got klan-vampires. Killer soundtrack too.

Homegrove One word: Unwatchable.

Along_the_Wire you really have to love genre-films to enjoy this, would not recommend it to you at all.

There’s a great nod to The Faculty (1999) in it for fuck’s sake.

Homegrove i was expecting racist KKK vampires, but they’re actually Irish River Dancing vampires. Haha

Warfare (2025) 7/10:

Saw this at the Electric this evening. Alex Garlands ‘writes’ and directs with the help of ex-vet Ray Mendoza a real life event in Ramadi from the Iraq war circa 2006. Feels a lot like a slightly lower budget version of Black Hawk Down, but the building of tension is good and the fighting to me at least seems realistic. I think Garland wrote this movie as an honorarium to those who fought in this battle and as such it lacks any plot or significant character development, but maybe this in itself is the message. It’s gritty and bleak and good on a big screen.

Wasily can’t wait to see that. It opens here May 9th.

Aside from Ex Machina, I think his films stink.

Along_the_Wire I’m also not a fan of anything since that but this was OK though.

Wasily can’t say fairer than that

Homegrove might give you flashbacks to your national service, Hanners. Stay safe.

Nosferatu. Odd. First Robert Eggers film I’ve seen, and I can see why he’s divisive. Very much a slow burn of a movie, quite liked the dark, gothic styling. Decent cast. 6/10.
