Last Film You Saw

[Bewar3them00n]

I watched the Parallax View at the weekend, I enjoy a good 70s paranoid thriller, what struck me was how dumbed down so much of modern film has become, spoon feeding the audience, The Parallax View seems almost documentary in comparison, long lingering shots, great cinematography, with a definite slower pace than contemporary cinema, & their migraine inducing jump cuts.
Monday night we went to see Alien Romulus, I’m a self confessed Alien geek, so, I might be a tad biased, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, & was very much entertained! it was very “Ronseal” it did exactly what it set out to do, with an added wtf! moment.

You are forgiven then:-) die hard, die hard 3 then die hard 2 are the best. Watch them in order though, the rest you don't need to bother with tbh.

Yes, my daughter defo wants to watch the rest of them now. We'll watch 2 next week.

There's no doubt that films from 70s and prior are generally superior in terms of cinematography, filming, placement of shots, the way a director tells a story. For instance, watch Ingmar Bergman films now and they seem a world away from modern cinema.

Looking forward to seeing Romulus next week as I love the Alien films too. I am a bi cinemagoer but haven't been down since 1 July. Unusual for me in recent years.

Even JK Simmons (Er; and Halle Berry!) couldn't rescue this one. 3.5/10. I'm never sure what to make of Mark Wahlberg as an actor. He's a bit "meh" for me. He doesn't have great screen presence, in my opinion.

JK Simmons, what a legend.
