Rate The Last Movie you Watched

Millsy

Point Break is a guilty pleasure film of mine. Yes it’s cheesy as hell Americana, but enjoyable all the same.

303abuser

usual suspects is still as good as ever. also watched stripes for the first time in years, bill murray is a legend.

303abuser usual suspects

Benicio Del Toro just slays that movie. He’s so good. And yeah it’s still good.

Fun fact, Stephen Baldwin was offered the lead in “Speed” but turned it down so he could wear white-dude dreads and co-star with Pauly Shore in “Biodome”.

jonattonyeah fenster is the best character, the line up scene still makes me laugh. and that sounds like a stephen baldwin decision, there’s no way biodome looked good on paper.

rhouses

alistair haha. Yeah that was a good moment in the film. Pretty much all his interactions with young women is funny.

They were all laughing in the line up-scene because Del Toro kept farting. The director was angry on set, but decided to use it in the end.

Speaking of Bryan Singer, it never dawned on me that he and Kevin Spacey were both in it. Maybe they molested some kids together while filming.

There Will Be Blood (2007)

Apparently quite Marmite for some on this board, but an absolute masterpiece for me. The music. The pacing. The fractured, anxious dialogue. DDL throws a perfect game. And, IMO, PTA is the only person who could pull this kind of movie off.

9.9/10.

Never get tired of it.

jonattonyeah personally found this unremittingly grim… and in a similar way to Joker last year, not for me. I do like a little bit of happiness, thrill or pleasure in a film I’ll admit - films as relentlessly depressing as this provide me with no viewing pleasure

No Country for Old Men, which came out around the same time, on the other hand was superb imo…

Smallman1

Superb film that Jonatton.

Thirded.

Yeah one those flicks you can always dip in and out of. The acting and dialogue is absolutely brilliant. DDL at the peak of his powers.

Watched Pet Sematary last night as I remembered it was unsettling when I was younger. Complete tripe. So bad.

Along_the_Wire

LT42 The remake? Well, to be fair, they’re both utter tripe. I watched out of nostalgia for Stephen King. Fuck me, the remake was bad.

LT42 Watched Pet Sematary last night as I remembered it was unsettling when I was younger.

The Kingcast is a podcast where two hosts and one guest talk about a King story, and usually it’s adaptation too for an hour. I’ve really enjoyed it. This week just happened to be about Pet Sematary and it’s 1989 adaptation. That is one book I read a few times as a teenager, but as an adult it works in a completely different way. I tried it a few years ago, but it was too oppressive to enjoy it when you know where it’s going, and even as a childless person, when it’s about the death of your child.

LT42

Along_the_Wire nah the original. One or two creepy scenes but it looked like one of those made for TV flicks you’d see on late at night. Not like how I remembered it at all.

Along_the_Wire

LT42 Do not watch the remake!

Three Billboards. Quirkier than I thought it was gonna be. 7 rednecks out of 10.

Wally

Along_the_Wire K-19 The Widowmaker is a decent flick. That’s one of Bigelow’s efforts.

Along_the_Wire

Wally I’m only commenting on what I’ve seen, not seen that though, but will give it a whirl.

Homegrove

I wish Strange Days was available on Blu Ray. That has some crazy tracking shots.

Alien (1979, SE Blu-ray)

John Hurt, Iain Holm and Sigourney Weaver casually blunder around in space and pick up a nasty bug along the way.
Some of the effects seem quite funny now but there are still a few scares and several classic moments.
Fantastic performance from Jones the cat too.

9/10

Aliens (1986, SE Blu-ray)

Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn, and Sigourney Weaver go back into space, armed to the teeth, to kill aforementioned bugs.
James Cameron brings a far more raucous, crowd-pleasing tone to proceedings but this is still butt-clenchingly effective fare.

9/10
