The Abyss (1989). The ending is really quite silly, but everything before that is some amazing movie making by James Cameron, even if he nearly killed Ed Harris filming it.

    Wasily it’s quality isn’t it? I get what you mean about Weller, but at the same time he looks like the kind of guy you’d have a right laugh with over a pint.

    Some of the people they wheeled out….actors that were in it for about 30 seconds. They really covered all available bases

    TitianWarrior yep. Wife’s review: I forgot this was so stupid. She didn’t complain during the movie though, so she’s got manners.

    Of course India’s Amazon Prime doesn’t have Robodoc. Garbage behaviour. Still waiting for Saltburn also.

    Dream Scenario: A pleasant discovery that we took a punt on mostly because it’s A24. Went in completely blind, didn’t even bother with synopsis, so don’t want to talk about the premise.

    Did not disappoint. Hilarious, weird, dark, and this isn’t quick pay cheque Nic Cage. He’s bringing his A game. It’s like a Charlie Kaufman movie with lots of Alexander Payne sprinkled on top. Loved it. Might even watch again, feels like there’s lots more to it than meets the eye. Is there a review for this in this thread?

    8.3 / 10

      Fall Guy……

      Where do I start? Frantic love/action movie with a simplistic plot and amazing stunts (obviously).

      6/10 Kiss and Tells

      Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004). My first time watching. I don’t wonder why this movie is so beloved by so many people. Loved it.

      303abuser watched natural born killers and motherless brooklyn yesterday, both were good.

      Saw Motherless Brooklyn eventually, what a brilliant film - star turns everywhere, and a very successful attempt at neo-noir. 9/10

        Reptile - Bang average murder mystery with a (telegraphed) ‘twist’

        4 / 10 - would rather listen to a 2hr organic house set

        Just ordered The Hateful 8 on Blu-ray for my father as he hasn’t seen it.

        I hope I’m not turning into, H.

          Monkey Man was a right old load of stupid nonsense, but loved it - 8/10

          Along Came Polly (2004). The Rewatchables did an episode on this, I’d not seen it, and it was on a streamer I subscribe to so why not. They really don’t make movies like this anymore, and I’m pretty sure that’s not a bad thing. That said I laughed out loud a LOT which I didn’t expect. And extra point for the always amazing Philip Seymor Hoffman. ⅗.

          Watching a film called When The Crawdads Sing.

          Absolute fucking drivel.

          Fall Guy: Nothing about this movie is good, even the stunts and Ryan Gosling (who is basically playing Ken again). Was left wondering how the script got a pass. A Gosling movie is to my wife what a PTA movie is to me, so it had to be done. I did enjoy the variations of Judas Priest’s seminal, homosexual hit, Turbo Lover, that run through it. Gold Class as per, hot dogs, cheesy Belgian French fries, and a 50 50 mix of caramel and Hawaiian BBQ popcorn at intermission.

          3.1 / 10

          Challengers: Watched this with the normies in a regular cinema hall. It’s a decent tennis movie, and I’m not going to lie, did not get bored and was keen to see how the wonky af love triangle played out. Confused about the soundtrack, most of it I was thinking they were pandering to the cheeseball EDM Euphoria generation, gimmicky and over bearing. But sometimes it worked. The tennis is ok (not even close to as real as King Richard), the acting ok. All of you will hate the ending (I saw it coming, but it worked for me). Good movie to watch with the missus (she said much better than fall guy, but not great). Don’t think I’ll watch again, but I guess there’s a lot of connect the dots in the dialogue. Preferred Zendaya in Dune, but she’s got charisma in this.

          6.8 / 10
