Last Film You Saw

[jimharri]

The new Avatar is dire way to long and preachy . Three hours I will never get back

Same could be said of the original. Not like it was an innovative storyline. Little guy takes on corporate giant, and wins.

Pocohontas

Or even Romeo and Juliet maybe ?

Heat. Hadn’t seen it before and thought it was a good film. Sometimes think Pacino overacts the parts but maybe that’s the part he plays? 8/10

Aftersun, debut feature from Charlotte Wells about an estranged father trying to reconnect with his 11 year old daughter on a package holiday in Turkey, set in the early 90s judging from the soundtrack. Not for those who like a strong narrative, this is slice-of-life drama with naturalistic acting. Brilliant debut performance from
Frankie Corio as the daughter. Paul Mescal also great as the dad fighting his inner demons. Not a lot happens, it's very subtle film-making but I found it very affecting. 8/10 from me.

I was challenged by my 17 year old daughter to watch a film she loves, and she picked Little Women - enjoyed it, 7/10

She now has to watch Jaws

You know if she doesn't like Jaws then you have to disown her, right?

Vincent Hanna (Pacino) had a coke habit, which was in the early drafts of the script, but not portrayed in the film*, which explained his manic behaviour/outbursts.

"Give me all you got!"

*There's a scene where Hanna takes cocaine on his way into the nightclub to talk to his informant about "Slick" that was cut out of the final release.

Psycho.

As a huge horror fan I understand why it's a classic, but my lord it has not aged well. The editing is absolutely awful, the special effect techniques just look a bit naff now, and that's not down to the age of the film, as other films of the same time or even earlier have much better SFX.

The acting, although of a different time, is a bit crap too.

Still happy to have it in the collection but not one I'll watch too often.

It must require a rewatch then..I always feel dumb when the prevailing view is positive of a certain thing, and I didn't get it:/
I got the 'a guy is getting old, death isnt that far off, so I'm gonna ditch one of my boring younger mates' thing, straight away. But I'm sure there's more, there always is

Best bit was the Mozart thing. He chops his fingers off despite getting the century of Mozart wrong, which you'd think he'd have known.

You didn't miss anything, and the film definitely doesn't require a rewatch. Trust your own judgement. Posterity will not be kind to this film.

I understand the acting now. Thanks.
