Movie What's the last movie you saw? (5)

[Frank Bunn]

Orbiter 9

Helena is a young woman who has spent all her whole life on a space ship and is now alone, travelling from Earth to a distant planet where she will reunite with other space colonials.

Really nicely done sci-fi movie from Spain (with subtitles). Good story with a few surprises and mostly maintains quality to the end.

Don't read IMDB, it gives away the whole plot.

Atomic Blonde

​

Liked this a lot. Great pacing, music, amazing fight scenes and camera work, very entertaining. Minor annoyances would be the colour palette of the movie, very washed out, almost black and white in parts, and it goes for about 15 minutes longer than it needed to, which seriously over complicated the plot to a level that left nobody caring about it. Larger annoyances being that there's plenty of skin on show here but no gratuity, nude scenes are incidental more than anything else (yes, that's gutter talk but so am I when so many good looking actresses are taking their clothes off). The direction seems to do its best to avoid nudity without actually avoiding it. High points are a particular good single take fight sequence, followed by what looks like another single take car chase, the soundtrack as mentioned, and some very funny visual jokes.

Overall this continues the return of mainstream adult action very admirably.

8.5/10

Three movies on the plane. All based on real events.

Lion: I'd heard great things and can see why now. A real tearjerker. 4 stars

The Founder: Wasn't expecting great things but thought it was really good. Keaton is a boss. I'm not surprised at all that his character was a total campaigner, that's how all the big shots seem to get big. 4 stars

Everest: Seen it already. Probably enjoyed it more on second viewing but

****ing Doug still annoys me. What a selfish campaigner. I didn't have much love for the journo either. Very sad when Jason Clarke and Jakey G's characters perish. They were great and the acting down at base camp was really good too.

The Accountant (2016)
Ben Affleck & Anna Kendrick

Didn't know what to expect but it had Anna Kendrick in it and I like her . Ended up enjoying the film. With the ending such as it was, not surprised to see a sequel on the way.

Liked the action sequences, the potential for the will they won't they between Affleck and Kendrick. The "pencak silat" form of martial arts as also shown in The Raid (2011). Glad to see Affleck finishing off his prey with head shots. So sick of seeing films like The Magnificent Seven (2016) one shot and your dead - really XX is on go and no one injured on the 7 side!

I can't bring myself to watch it. I love the original way too much.

T2 3D

10/10

Well maybe 9.5 out of 10 since it wasn't the ultimate/special edition version (have grown to love that over the last 11 years instead of the theatrical).

 

[Free Agent]

Seen American Made today and honestly its one of the best movies I've seen the last few years.
9/10.

Tom Cruise just plays a pilot so well and convincing.

Paterson (2016)

I don't think this film can be described in any interesting way: a bus driver who likes to read and write poetry in his spare time goes about his life, and we follow along for a week. It's a slow burn, and really only a couple of things of note happen throughout. But it quietly builds and builds as it goes, then finally all ties together nicely. I found it to be genuinely moving, almost overwhelmingly so.

Spoiler

Also, shout out to Method Man and the kids from Moonrise Kingdom (!!!) for their bit parts.

Good Time - 9/10


Saw this a couple of weeks ago at the Arclight in Los Angeles, saw it in the morning by myself while waiting for a friend, and than the next night I was back with some friends who I told had to see this. Incredible work from the Safdie brothers and Robert Pattinson.


Daniel Lopatin did an amazing job with the OST as well. One of the best you'll ever hear IMO.

 

[Extortion Threat]

Run Lola Run (1998) - Fast-paced enjoyable German thriller. Fun movie, never slows down. 8/10

 

[phantom13]

I Am Heath Ledger - The doco made posthumously for the uber talented Heath. It was okay, being brutally honest the movie kind of makes him out to be some supernatural force of love and artistic creativity but then shows some of his music video stuff and its that same pretentious weird art student stuff you see of every indie band ever. Seems like a wonderful creative guy but also an inherently weird eccentric dude with no concept of other peoples lives and time. We always romanticize the deceased and I guess that was to be expected here but it was a touch OTT for me. Stuff about the behind the scenes stuff on Lord of Dogtown, The Patriot and The Dark Knight were really interesting. 7/10

Terminator 2 3D - still holds up.. 10/10 I can now say I saw T2 on the big screen.. 3D done well and not over the top

American Made

Almost as useless as The Dark Tower (could have sworn I saw this movie in February when it was called Gold and starred Matthew McConaughey).

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Wind River- Agree with consensus here, really excellent. Nice throwback to the 90's style killer thrillers but with modern sensibilities. 8.5/10

Logan Lucky- Good fun, tight film not that surprising from Soderbergh, lacks a little to make it exceptional but no real flaws to point at. 7/10.

Deathnote;

Well, as far as disappointing pieces of s*** go, this is up there.
Manages to take some fantastically unique characters from the original anime and turn them into the most boring, stereotypical and predictable characters ever.

Putting aside my bias from having loved the original, the movie still felt very very rushed, disconnected and lots of things made no sense.

The only redeeming feature was Ryuk, who was creepy, well animated and fantastically voice-acted by Willem Dafoe.
Also Australian Crawl and INXS on the soundtrack. Cool.

3/10, I am intruiged to see what people who haven't seen the anime think of this turdburger.

Am one, I didn't mind it. Except for the first scene where he saw Ryuk and tried to emulate an anime reaction which was some of the worst acting ever put on film. Except that I didn't mind it, kinda like Final Destination with an interesting back story. Agree that Dafoe was an excellent choice, probably rate it 5-6/10 because it was mostly fun.

That's pretty fair. Those girly screams were absolutely horrific and it was about at that point I realised what I was in for.

 

[PVF]

Saw 'Two Hands' on the Foxtel app and decided to give it a crack.

I thought it was pretty good! I would describe it as an Australian poor mans Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Alot of fun to watch.

 

[Coolangatta]

Room.

By god do I like Brie Larson. Liked the first half of the movie, enraging as it was, better than the second half, though.

 

[Neese]

The Danish Girl. Really liked it. Alicia Vikander was brilliant in this

 

[Extortion Threat]

Scum (1979) - Uncompromising, powerful prison drama. Great acting from all, but especially from a young Ray Winstone who's terrifying as a young thug marking his territory. There's several memorable scenes & great dialogue throughout. There's some absolutely brutal scenes, this movie still packs a punch today. 8.5/10

 

[manureid]

Atomic Blonde

Saw this. Meh.
