Apocalypto. Got recommended by a mate who gernerallt has good taste. It barely gets itself to average. 5/10

Apocalypto is literally in my all time top five 😂

I absolutely love that film. Please don’t slag it off.

    Mississippi Grind (2015)

    Ryan Reynolds, Ben Mendelsohn & Sienna Miller in a road-trip-cum-odd-couple buddy-movie based around gambling.

    Not great but not bad either. Meh.

    6.5/10

    C_J what were your favourite bits? Do anyone of them involve massive coincidences and espsape/survival from the many number of times it looked like curtains?

    I loved all of it. The oral sex joke. The massacre. The Jaguar. The speech. The waterfall. The sun god. The themes of family vs religion/ the state.

    everything.

      Apocalypto is an excellent film.

        C_J It started off well, definitely, but the minute he escaped certain death due to a total eclipse, it lost me. Then being chased by men that could kill a running man 100m away with spears and bows and arrows suddenly unable to hit a barn door from 10m. I don’t mind suspending belief, but when it gets worse than a Bond film, I’m out.

          seanc80 The American. Enjoyed it

          Ditto, but it’s been years. Might have to revisit if it comes up in some streaming platform.

          I’m gonna watch The American later, it sounds a little risky to me but it could top off a weekend of dire films quite nicely.

          Vivarium (2019)

          Creepy, freaky little thriller with Jesse Eisenberg & Imogen Poots. Grant will no doubt hate this but it was right up my street.

          Go into it knowing as little as possible about it.

          8.5/10
