The Handmaiden - Man, I love this film. Park Chan-wook's latest from last year, a three-act story that grabs you instantly with a simple premise that just keeps unfolding. Suitably ****** up in parts which is in keeping with Park's style. 9/10

Cinematic storytelling at it's absolute best. As good as his previous work Oldboy. And as an added bonus - scissors with cute Korean girls!

10/10.

Blade Runner (1982) - Actually watched the directors cut whenever that was done. Nope, not for me. Very slow, annoyingly artsy at times and boring. The ending was pretty good. Maybe it just hasnt dated well and i might've liked it more at the time. 5/10.

Blade Runner 2049 (2017) - this is more like it. Took everything that WAS good about the original and updated it. The vision of the future was vivid and clever, the effects were brilliant and I was transfixed throughout even though it was a fairly slow pace too - it never got stuck. The girl from War Dogs was gorgeous in this too. 8.5/10

So I guess if like me you didn't like the first one, you might still like this.

Like you, I have only seen the Director's Cut of the original film, and thought 2049 was the better movie.
 
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1983) - terrible effort at horror/comedy.
1/10

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) - pretty good remake, suitably disturbing & creepy. Watching Jessica Biel run around in a wet singlet is some serious eye candy.
7/10

The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007) - very poor ca$h in.
2/10
 
I watched Battlefield Earth.
Me too, what a classic.

I saw it straight after Going Clear and loved it.

Battlefield Earth >>>>>>>>>> daylight >>>>>>>>>>> Passion of the Christ.

It really is the benchmark for all religious fantasy films.
 
Im currently watching the remake of War of the Worlds.

As I watch it Im wondering if this is the worst movie ever. It could be. And I watched Battlefield Earth.
I love both those movies.

Speaking of far fetched & out there action movies, I just watched ‘Olympus has Fallen’..

What a load of over the top, unbelievable shit!

Even ‘War of the Worlds’ AND ‘Battlefield Earth’ both look more realistic than this pro USA baloney. :oops:

I think of that as a comedy action flick. London Has Fallen... that is the truly shit one.

Notorious

Alfred Hitchcock, Cary Grant & Ingrid Bergman in an absolute classic.

Bergman simply blows everybody else off screen, which is no mean feat given the calibre of the support cast.

Film noir at its best.

It's top-ten Spielberg as far as I'm concerned.
 
Super Dark Times

Set in mid 90s suburban America.
Focusing on two teenage friends and a wedge that grows between them.
Very good film with perhaps the ending just a little underwhelming the only criticism

3.5/5
 
Saw Happy Death Day today with the missus.

Thought the cast did a great job and it was an enjoyable enough slasher flick, provided you turn off your brain. Once we left and started discussing it in depth it sort of ruined the experience. I struggled to get past the overwhelming sense it was just a Groundhog Day rip-off with a killer thrown in, even if it was given a small homage at the end.

5.5/10
 
Saturday before Halloween so I caught a couple of thrillers last night.

Split: 5/10. McAvoy did a good job but it just didn’t hold my attention. The reference to Unbreakable at the end seemed pointless.

Raw: 8/10. This was better. The young French actor was very good and the story just got gradually more disturbing.

McAvoy was brilliant but I was a bit like you that it didn't hold my attention, as I fell asleep for 20 minutes near the end. As for the Unbreakable reference there is a point if this is, as has been said, a sequel and the 2 films will merge in the 3rd and final with the Beast going head to head with John Mclean.
 
I saw The Mountains Between Us this afternoon.

I enjoyed it (for the most part- see below)- it had some pretty intense scenes, including the plane crash. But there was one massive, huge downer. The ending.

It was just complete over done Hollywood rubbish. I didnt mind up until the very final scene where they decide to go their separate ways, and walk away from each other but then OH NO WAIT THEY WERE WRONG and run into each others arms. Get bent. :rolleyes:

Same movie up until the final scene. All the PTSD they are both suffering is obvious- we get it, what you went thru, no one else went through and can therefore never understand. Nothing will ever be the same again- you cant just "walk" back into your old lives even tho you survived your ordeal. SCENE RESTAURANT: You meet at a table, have the same conversation. The guy is heartbroken you will not leave your fiance. Tenderly he tells Kate he is here whenever she needs him- and walks away. Kate picks up her glass -tears in eyes- where she spots the crushed ice in her glass (makes the connection ice/her saviour fed her the ice when they were lost) And picks up the phone to say she needs him. He walks back inside. Fade to Black

I give it a 5/10. Deducted 5 points for the ending.

Oh yeah and this LMFAO:

Every scene there is just magically a fire!! There is no collecting of wood.. no lighting of fire THEY JUST ALWAYS HAVE FIRE. Did lol
