Rate The Last Movie you Watched

Did you watch the directors cut, reference copy on Blu-ray, H?

Wally

Along_the_Wire yeah, jezuz Hannu. Creds in tatters

Homegrove

Wally what cred?

Wolfs on Apple TV+ was alright, but would have been bad if the leads were not Pitt and Clooney. Their combined charm can do a lot.

Homegrove I enjoyed Wolfs, had some funny moments

The Master (2012). Continuing with my PTA watchthrough. Pretty great, if too long for what story it had. Amazing acting, Philip Seymor Hoffman was so good. PIGFUCK!

Beetljuice Beetlejuice.

It’s an okay film, but it’s so fuckin refreshing because it stays true to the original and doesn’t overreach, or try to be something it’s not. It’s worth watching because nobody makes films like this now. It’s worth watching because it’s not Marvel.

Along_the_Wire Beetlejuice 2 (I’m not doing it) - had the fear after the trailers

Mate, you can say it. It’s not real.

Trap (2024) 6/10

M. Night Shyamalan’s latest…He has a way of turning clever original screenplays into terrible movie adaptations (See ‘Old’ - which conceptually I thought was a great idea but execution was terrible). Decent turn from Josh Hartnett who seems to be getting typecast as a deranged Poundland Tom Cruise in recent outings (Black Mirror etc.). This is again a decent story which could have been done better by dropping fact that he’s the Butcher later in the movie and making it out that he’s a concerned parent trying to get out for a larger part. Second half is a let down.

The Substance (2024). Every comment I’ve read said you will not be ready for the third act. I thought I was. I was not. Is stopped eating my pop corn at about the 90 minute mark.

Truly fucking bonkers movie. Will be very interesting to see how it will do at the Oscars. Demi Moore is a sure nominee for best actress at least for sure.

I bought First Blood on 4K Blu ray, because I got it for 15 €. It’s always weird watching one of these VHS classics on modern technology. This looked like a completely different movie on UHD. Also forgot how good it is, I blame the later Rambo-movies for that. Apart from Richard Crenna going full ham it’s pretty much perfect. David Morrell’s novel it’s based on is still better though.

Homegrove Such a good film.

The Substance (2024)

Probably the first 18 rated movie I’ve seen in the cinema for a while. As @Homegrove has said above it’s batshit nuts. Beyond the obvious Dorian Gray analogy, there are nods to Kubrick and Stephen King’s Carrie. It’s stylistic and slick but the themes don’t really get explored at all; there’s little in the way/ if any of meaningful dialogue, and at two and half hours could’ve done without the 3rd act IMO. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen this year but I’m not sure that necessarily makes it any good. Hard to give it a rating as it starts so well but ultimately disappoints massively, but it passed the time I guess.

Wasily great premise established ruined by ridiculous third act

Wolfs

Okay film, Clooney and Pitt work well on screen, not sure why there hasn’t been more of them together over the years, this doesn’t quite know how serious to take itself though. I assume the title is a nod to Pulp Fiction?

Love Lies Bleeding (2024)

After the absolute shit-shows that were Underwater (2020) and Spencer (2021) I was seriously considering an outright ban on anything starring Kristen Stewart (The Twighlight Saga excepted, obviously) - but the high ratings for this and the fact that it was directed by critically-acclaimed Rose Glass made me curious. Plus it was about bodybuilding lesbians, which is definitely one of my favourite genres. The opening scene sets the mood perfectly with a track by Harald Grosskopf and I instantly knew this would be Stewart’s redemption. She was perfect.

7.5/10

Well the new Salem’s Lot sucked. My wife fell asleep 40 minutes into it, and I didn’t mind this time because she really wasn’t missing anything. I wanted Barlow from the novel, and this one had pretty much copied the look from the 1979-version instead.

Homegrove my friend sent me the trailer and I was interested. You’ve just saved me watching it. King adaptations are way more miss than hit (have you seen The Dark Tower!?)

Joker 2. Definitely one of the worst fucking films I’ve ever seen - if it wasn’t for my missus being there, I’d have left after half an hour. It fucking stinks. It is definitely a musical. 0/10
