Rate The Last Movie you Watched

Homegrove

The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007). First watch. This film has a reputation as a masterpiece and I’d say it earns it. Two career best performances from Casey Affleck and Brad Pitt, stunning cinematography by Roger Deakins and writer director Andrew Dominik has done nothing even close to this since. Warning, will seem boring to people with short attention spans. It’s nearly three hours long, and not action packed.

Homegrove took me three goes to watch it, but loved it when I finally got round to watching it all.

Homegrove great film

Krull (1983)

I loved this when I was a nipper, swords and sorcery meets alien weirdness, on reflection it kinda has an Iain M Banks vibe about it… The story is light on any real detail, the acting is pretty terrible, the fight scenes are a bit crap… but… Lysette Anthony is an absolute sort, it’s got a frisbee dagger thingy for a MacGuffin called the Glaive, the score is a banger and some of the sets are Dali esque weirdy bossness. Also notable for a rare ish non Carry On appearance from Bernard Bresslaw.

The reward is freedom! And fame!

Freedom? We have it. And fame? It’s an empty purse. Count it, go broke. Eat it? Go hungry. Seek it, and go mad.

Big week in the cinema, got Flow, Brutalist, Complete Unknown lined up. Not sure which one to watch first!

What’s your snack strat Rhouses?

rhouses

Smallman1 there’s a very good korean bbq restaurant in the same mall as the cinema, have stopped ordering in while watching. Hot chocolate, maybe. Otherwise, french fries + cheese sauce, asian chicken spring rolls, and the peri peri chicken sub is quite good. Feeling classic, i go with a caramel popcorn mixed with cheese popcorn, 60-40.

Where the fuck is that a ‘classic’?

Millsy

Mad_Cyril assume a few mins in the microwave too. Grim and dangerous.

rhouses

Mad_Cyril called a chicago mix and nope, not a wind up. We have an indian version of garretts popcorn, not so bad.

Could this post BE any more ‘Hannu’?

Millsy

seanc80 😂. He could also take his cats? Apart from that, so many boxes ticked.

rhouses

Hmmm. Think ill skip the gold class and go imax for the brutalist.

Homegrove

@seanc80 and @Millsy you’re both just jealous of my exciting and in no way sad and boring life.

seanc80

Its just the glamour of it all, that i cant get my head round.

rhouses

RichM pffft. not all three at once. Usually just one of those dishes. Gold class has a full blown restaurant menu.

absolutely loved Anora.

Moore will get the Oscar because it completes that redemption story but I’d give it to Mikey Madison, what a performance.

Along_the_Wire

C_J good film that. Interesting fact, I had to go to that actual strip club with a mate who was going there to pick up his mate’s credit card. Grim.

rhouses

C_J it’s a stronger performance than demi moore in substance imo. But i think all the hard yards from the 80s and 90s will add up for a moore win. Still, will be interesting to see.

C_J

Along_the_Wire haha it looked alright to me 👍
