Last Film You Saw

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Heretic.

Though Hugh Grant was excellent but the film itself was a bit dull, not quite the scarefest I thought it might be.

6/10

Its not about scares really, its a clever way of trying to simple weirdo indoctrinated God botherers while being unhinged enough about it to make the effort he went to

The Curse of the Werewolf​

The Curse of the Werewolf (1961) ⭐ 6.5 | Horror

1h 33m | Approved

Classic horror hammed up to the nth degree.

Bloody hell.
Remember watching this late one night as a kid ( Oliver reed)...

Always loved the old monster films.

The old universal films was the best, always loved black n white films.

The wolf man lon Chaney jr.
Frankenstein , The invisible Man, Dracula ect...

Soft spot for the old Abbott n Costello crossovers with Dracula , Frankenstein and the wolf man.

Just watched Substance with Demi Moore, very weird but oddly a good watch.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) - 6/10

I've not seen this adaptation before. Kenneth Branagh directed, a decent retelling, it felt a bit too 'showy and shouty, bit OTT'. However, De Niro was actually decent as the monster.

I found The Perfect Storm on Prime, not seen it in years so put it on. 25 years old it is.

Yeah, Branagh was the big 'lovvie' of that era! Did a fair bit of Shakespeare films while his stock was high.

Generally a very average actor and director, but astute in theatre work.

I watched a few movies over Xmas

A real pain [2024, USA, drama/comedy] - with Jesse Eisebnberg and Kieran Culkin, very nice a little movie.

Kraven the Hunter [2024, USA, superhero crap] - I lasted about 40 minutes in disbelief J.C. Chandor directed this, one of the worst movies ever, AVOID AT ANY COST AND THANK ME LATER!!!!

Jung E [2023. South Korea, sci-fi] - very watchable mix of I, robot/Terminator with a definite S Korean flavour

The First Omen [2024, USA, horror] - the second attempt to watch this after quitting first time 20 minutes into the movie. I managed to finish it, but I don't understand how it managed to get positive reviews. It was a proper slog just to get to the end see the clumsy ending connecting to its great predecessor.

Perfect days [2023, Germany/Japan] - a truly great movie, one of Wim Wender's best.

That'll be it, it felt a bit like watching a Shakespeare play or a musical and not a film. I was just waiting for a musical number to break out.

Pretty harsh score for a "great film" mate ;)

Cheers for that though sounds like something I'd like.
