Last Film You Saw

[Dicko69]

New Running man film follows the book in a way.

Just watched the trailer, I will be watching it

Springsteen film Deliver From Me From Nowhere

Bloody good

Saw this on Saturday. Huge Boss fan and love Nebraska. Really enjoyed the film, not sure how much appeal it will have to a wider audience though.

Jeremy Allen White superb as Bruce as was Jeremy Strong as Jon Landau.

The Dylan film last year was "Dylan goes electric" this Bruce film is "Bruce goes acoustic" ;-)

House of Dynamite. Started off well but I disagree with others, the same film from three different perspectives I didn't like, and the ending was one of the worst I've ever seen.

I agree with you, does my head in when you get movies that dont have a defined ending, because oh its so clever you need to use your imagination to fill in the blank. Its the same thing artists have being doing for years and they get on my tits for doing it.

Its not that I have no imagination, but I paid to read a book/see a movie, now do me the courtesy of finishing the job.

i watched 'The Long Walk' and really enjoyed it apart from the end. Left us sat there in silence a bit like 'what the fuck'.

House of dynamite
Mrs not impressed ..

exactly the same in our house and you knew how the film was going to end as soon as the view from the second perspective started, needed an ending but I quite enjoyed it regardless.

I’ve not watched it I’ve just watched the trailer put me right of it because I know the end in my mind the last one the winner gets killed! Am probably 89% wrong but I’ve seen so many films you can predict how it will pan out

House of dynamite. Don't appreciate taking 2 hours to basically watch a 40 minute sequence 3 times over in anticipation for the ending and then simply not get one. Feels like I've just been conned. Shame as I did enjoy a lot of it but it was completely ruined by the end. Whoever saw the script and thought that works is a lunatic.

I agree with you. Not sure what other posters are watching in order to think it's a 'great film'.

It's badly limited in what it can do and where it can go. A really limited 'character study' is all it can offer and there's not enough fully written characters to examine, motive-wise. Clearly, the book is bettered served in the mind than on screen based on this work.

Your score is a bit more generous than mine would be if I were to give scores.

I loved the book so will watch it, but what you describe is basically the book! The nuances with the book are the relationships that are built during the walk and how they start caring for each other even though they know to live that the others have to die. If the relationships in the film are not fleshed out then I can see it being a bit of a disappointment.

That's how it translates to me. I know I had someone say 'I should read the book', but why bring a book to the screen if you can't capture the limited scope with great effect?

It's only my opinion and you may see it differently.

Great ending :)

I saw on here about The Long Walk and House on Fire so I watched them last night. Thought TLW was great, well acted and quite sad. HOF was bamboozling me with acronyms the whole time.

Just watched the Toxic Avenger from 2023 apparently, but just out now over here for some reason. It was good, with plenty of over the top gore and daft gags

 

[jimharri]

Finally got round to catching "Get Out" overnight. Really enjoyed it. Daniel Kaluuya is an excellent actor. 9.5/10.


You'll never look at a cup of tea in the same way again!

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

The Abyss

Spectacular movie. Must have been a nightmare to film.

 

[ballbag]

The Long Walk

Bit different from the book but just as grim.

 

[Mayor West]

Good boy. Even at 1hr 13 this still seems a little long, but thats not to say its a bad film. Its actually really creepy, even if I didnt completely understand what I was watching! The dogs 'acting' is great though, 7/10.

 

[RadcliffeRick]

Old but good. Das Boot, not seen it for a few years now. What those guys went through defies belief. It is difficult at first to have sympathy for them but as the film goes on your feelings change. 40,000 sent to sea, 10,000 returned. Brutal!!

8/10

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning.

Mad long. Became a bit tedious in parts. Took an hour for anything to happen.

The submarine scenes are spectacular.

Tom Cruise is a mad bastard.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Late Night with the Devil
Talkshow debunking the occult.
Interesting, and pretty well made for a pretty low budget film.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

House of Dynamite.

Exceptional film, and very smartly done.

Probably the best film I've watched this year.
