Are we not allowed to ask actors to have certain styles for roles any longer? It's getting hard sometimes to look past the actor and see the character, what I call the Tom Cruise/Will Smith problem. In almost every film they are Tom Cruise or Will Smith, can't look past them, or remember characters well. For characters in iconic franchises, characters you can remember, I reckon they could keep the look at bit better to allow us, the audience, to see the characters first and actors second.

The Guilty : 6/10, had promise but the last 3rd of the film let itself down

Old - 5/10 - i nice premise/ idea, the makeup in making characters seamlessly age was impressive, but the story was ridiculous and it fell short of the mark....worth a watch just to check out i reckon though

These out on streamers? Or “other” means

Candyman (2021)

Some cases due to studio contract agreements. Keanu Reeves and filming John Wick 4. Henry Cavill filming MI Fallout whilst having to do reshoots for Joss Whedon's JL, hence the CGI disaster

Yeah I suppose that's true, but gee, what a makeup departments paid for if not able to do a fake beard or wig?

Alone (2020) on Netflix

Really good little thriller about a woman who was travelling to her new destination and being stalked by a strange man. I had anxiety watching the first 30 minutes because i was holding my breath, it slowed down a bit but the ending was great. If it was 10 minutes shorter it would have been a 9/10 but I will still give it 8/10

I watched this due to your recommendation.
Really enjoyed it!

I also watched this due to this thread, thanks.

I don't get unsettled by thrillers often, but this made me uncomfortable.

Quite an effective little film. Both leads were spot on.

Watching Bayformers and I hate it in so many ways (Bayformer 1 was decent)

But I have to say the CGI has always been world class and has never been bettered IMO

I've been giving the 1986 movie's soundtrack a good listen too lately after looking for some different CDs for the car, and it's absolutely elite. One of the best soundtracks ever.

Just like the film.

Bayformers has nothing on the original.

Watched A Quiet Place Part 2 last night. Can't believe some were saying it surpassed the first one. Felt completely unnecessary, lost so much of what made the first one special. Basically just a run of the mill monster movie. Not bad but completely forgettable.

American Made

​

Pretty good 'true' story of an American Pilot that goes from commercial pilot, to CIA operative, to filthy rich drug smuggler, to abandoned by the government and a made man to the cartel. I enjoy, nothing groundbreaking but solid 7 - 8/10. The random interruptions from Ronald Reagan are a nice touch. Notable for being one of the few Tom Cruise movies where he doesn't stand out as Tom Cruise straight away. He's a bit overweight, a bit red and blotchy in the skin, and seems a bit short (his true height).

Watched Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood.

Absolutely mediocre.

This summed it up perfectly for me.

 

[BEaston]

Generally a strong correlation between confusion and not liking that movie.

You can't say anything negative about this movie in this thread, it will upset a few.

 

[phantom13]

You can, youre just not likely to get much support.

Same as the bloke that bagged the Matrix.

There's plenty of varying opinions about it in the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood thread.

I get the analogy but i think there was 10 years between the Rambos and going to be 20 between the Matrixes (Matricies).

People can get haircuts especially in John Rambos case, he was rocking a real south east asian expat look in Rambo, then a rancher look in Last Blood.

The Matrix one will be odd, if i recall the first one your appearance in the matrix is essentially a projection of yourself, would seem odd to choose to make yourself look like a 90s Seattle bass player AND if they have the real world element as well Keanu shaved everything (eyebrows included) for those scenes, for consistency hed need to do that again.

The gentlemen - 5.5/10 dunno what it is with guy Ritchie but I just don’t like his films after lock stock and snatch. They try a bit too hard and sort of seem to be Tarantino lite

 

[hotchilli]

Best Sellers - Really enjoy the work of Michael Caine & Aubrey Plaza. Quite a nice heartfelt movie 7.5/10.

 

[squashface]

Love and Monsters

A fun flick that while predictable at times, was pretty to look at and was a good light hearted way to spend a couple of hours.

7/10 for what it was

Lol, of all the Tarantino films, Hollywood is the most disliked in this thread I reckon.
Not a hot take.

Basterds, there was a bad film.

If you're gonna proclaim you have an unpopular take, make sure of it.

Basterds is one of the best movies I've seen.

That opening scene is unreal.
