What film did you watch last night?

[JoeyB]

Guardians of the Galaxy last night... Slowly working through Sky Movies offering

 

[Deleted member 23692]

Spectre - An unconvincing Daniel Craig woodenly squints and pouts through an unmemorable tale of little interest, supported by a cast of equally unremarkable and seemingly bored folk.

Christopher Waltz appears to add much needed interest

4/10

Submarine, a Welsh film see. Quirky off-beat awkward youth type film, it's his relationship with his parents, school, girlfriend. Very funny. Mrs McG had read the book and was quite keen to see this, although it didn't have the detail of the book she thought they'd done it justice.

Captive audience this morning as Mr M watching Viva Las Vegas in bed.
Better than an alarm to get me out of bed and onto "breakfast duty".

All Is Lost
An outstanding film about survival and the will to carry on when all is lost, existential metaphor for life. Robert Redford carries the film entirely, brilliant and nuanced performance. 9/10, watched on Netflix

What a coincidence, I only did half an hour, but enjoyed it. Got the rest tonight.

The Sapphires - a bit rough at the edges, particularly the script, which was crying out for a final polish, but the central performances and a general air of fun & enthusiasm carried it through. Some terrific performances of Stax-tracks by the core girl-group. Think The Commitments starring aboriginal girls touring 'Nam. Good feelgood movie for NYE.

Last night i watched Johnny and the Bomb... a three part kids series based on Terry Pratchet's book. Utterly brilliant and totally charming.

Lore

Harrowing, dreamlike, beautiful at turns - the story of the children of a high ranking Nazi in the immediate aftermath of the second world war. Having been shielded from the realities of Hitler's Germany, they set out to reach their Grandmother, trying to come to terms with both the shattered country they find themselves inhabiting, and their parents' past.

IMDB's 7/10 severely undersells this.

Operation Crossbow.

Sophia Loren, Trevor Howard, George Peppard, John Mills, and Richard Todd.

A stirring tale of giving the Nazis a jolly good punch on the nose, I love the old war films.

6/10.

Saw an Indian film I bought on DVD last winter: PK

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PK_(film) a kind of cross between Starman and K-Pax.

It was actually a very good and entertaining film.

Ah missed that, I've got CoM and Going Postal on TiVo.

We watched Avengers: age of ultron as we are all Marvel fans then once my daughter went to bed we watched Mrs Browns Boys: da movie, which was as bad as anybody can imagine.

To night was going to be kingsmen but Sherlock is on and we are all fairly knackered after a long chilly walk down the coast

Something weird about a kid with leaves growing
out of his legs. Had to watch it at my moms residential home.
Pity.... It was olkay as it was okay.
How weird am I!!??

As you do when new year celebrations have died down, I stuck Se7en on, recorded from the telly. Saw it in the cinema 20 years ago, watched it countless times since on VHS/DVD, and it remains undiminished.

Manhunter

Superb - the fashions and music may have dated somewhat, but Michael Mann's run at "Red Dragon" still holds up.
