Last Film You Saw

[Lavinda Past]

Oppenheimer - An absolutely outstanding film

Christopher Nolan certainly knows how to make a brilliant film..

Dystopian, unpredictable, slow, well made.

Have you watched the Ultimate version that’s 4 hours! The directors cut is the best version and apart from the ending is one of the best comic book adaptions ever done.

Wouldn't mind seeing that mate, where can I catch that ?

Watched "No Hard Feelings" tonight. Pretty woeful to be honest. I'll give it two out of ten.



And that's just for one particular scene!

It's where a big Norwegian with long hair puts the ball in the net.

In terms of his recent stuff, Color Out of Space is brilliant. Bizarre but highly watchable sci-fi Lovecraft horror. Mandy also very good and in a similar style, kinda Hellraiser on acid vibes.

I didn't last all the way through that, but I thought Mandy was great - his best in recent times.

Mandy (2018) ⭐ 6.5 | Action, Fantasy, Horror

Going back further, there's all the obvious stuff like Con-Air, Raising Arizona, Face/Off, The Rock, Joe, Lord of War, Adaptation, 8mm, Leaving Las Vegas... cute rom-coms like The Family Man and It Could Happen to You are kinda nice to watch now and then as well. And even the duds like The Wicker Man are funny to watch with a couple of bottles of something or other. Oh and, for families, I remain convinced that the National Treasure movies are some of the best pound-for-pound entertainment you can get.

I'm not a big fan, but I'd say a lot of his early films are genuinely "worth watching":
Rumble Fish - B&W film about life in a street gang, Mickey Rourke, Francis Ford Coppola directs. Not bad.
Birdy - Vietnam vet becomes obsessed with becoming a bird
Moonstruck - Cher, very decent rom-com
Wild At Heart - Absolute mayhem from David Lynch, Nic Cage is Laura Dern's psycho lover "Sailor"
Red Rock West - Very good modern noir
Leaving Las Vegas - Cage as a terminal alcoholic, very strong performance
Bringing Out The Dead - As an ambulance driver in New York, directed by Scorcese, underrated movie IMHO
