Last Film You Saw

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

The Mastermind, watched it last week and thought it was great.
Art theft/heist and if you didn't know better you think it was made in the 1970's.

It was alright. Nothing special. Got a book very similar (by Annie Jacobsen), which I rate higher than the film.

Two and a half boobless hours, you'd not be missing much if you skipped it.

Horrendous CGI too

 

[BLUEYESTU]

Anemone - both DDL and Sean Bean are great but it was slow as fuck and I won’t be rushing to see it again.

Frankenstein very good with great cinematography 7/10

Guillermo del Toro's movies peaked with his masterpiece Pan's Labyrinth (2006) although Pacific Rim (2013) was a lot of fun.

Watched the new Frankenstein film last night and was very impressed. Thought it was superb and the cinematography stunning. Great costumes and sets. Interesting take on the plot, highlighting the life story of Victor Frankenstein and that of his tragic creation. Would be even better in a cinema. 9/10

Surprised a del Toro film has got such a limited theatrical release, after Labyrinth and the Shape of Water.

The Choral is worth a watch. I hadn't realised it was an Alan Bennett story.

WW1 and the Ramsden Choral Society is missing a lot of its male voices, and the chorus master signs up. Next choice is Dr Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes) who had been working in Germany. They were going to perform Bach's St Matthew Passion but have to find a non-German composer. Lots of side-plots - some dealing with the dreaded telegram - but a lot of irreverence and insensitivity and crude humour. In the end they go for Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius (but some don't like that that was based on a Catholic text about purgatory). Not much of a spoiler but they adapt it so the main voices are a dying soldier and a nurse - and when the vicar says he doesn't believe in purgatory a soldier who's lost an arm launches into comparing No Man's Land with Purgatory. Ramsden is played by Saltaire.

One of my favourite films of 2025……

The smashing machine... was looking forward to watching this but the film was so slow I turned off after 1 hour.
I'll give this film 5/10 and that's only because Emily blunt looks fit.

I'd watch Emily Blunt fill a washing machine for an hour and half no problems

Unfortunately steaming are the ones willing to splash the cash for these sort of films these days.

Have you seen cronos brilliant film

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

As a self-confessed horror [and Westerns/War] aficionado, I've seen Cronos, The Devils Backbone & the TV series Cabinet of Curiosities.

I just think that Pan's Labyrinth is del Toro's magnum opus.

Watched it last night. All of the actors were a bit wasted I felt.

 

[Bigg Bigg Blue]

Just watched The Fantastic 4 first steps and have to say I was very pleasantly surprised after reading bad reviews on it.
Not woke or anything like that, just good entertainment . 8/10

Yeah. Some big hitters in that cast list too.

Spoiler

I don't mind things being left open to interpretation, but I'd like a sequel

I thought it was very good, think they pretty much summed up the effect such a situation would have on people, although I do think the initial premise ie

, was a little weak.

Spoiler: endgame

In terms of the ending, I don't think they could have done anything other than that

 

[bluethrunthru]

I watched I, Tonia earlier - way better than I expected - I liked the way the actors broke the 4th wall now and again and some excellent cinematography
