What film did you watch last night?

[gbb]

All Quiet On The Western Front (2022) on Netflix
2.5 hours , never got bored though, thoroughly enjoyed it (if that's the right word for a subject so terrible)

It wasn't swashbucklingly American in style like you might expect in many war films, more sympathetic, just a haunting view of the war through a young recruits eyes.

American Pyscho (Film4 Horror Season)

If you like closure in your films, don't watch this lol It's definately a film that gets better every time you watch it as there are so many little things in the dialogue that suggest what might be happening...is not actually what is happening. It's famous for it's violence, sex and the soundtrack (a great 80s OST!) but it's so much more than the 1st two and a shockingly good sattire at how I imagine 80s yuppie culture to have been like.

Tenet on Amazon prime. Saw it at the cinema during Covid and it deserves a second go round. Lots to take in. 8/10

It really is.

Another one to watch All Quiet On The Western Front on Netflix.
A very well made remake that's very brutal in its portrayal of the horrors of the first world war.

One Cut of the Dead - 9/10

I don't want to give too much away about this, but it starts off as one thing and becomes something completely different, and hilarious. I haven't laughed so much at a film in a while. It's Japanese for those who may be subtitle averse.

Crimes of the Future

Not scoring this, because like most of Cronenberg's it needs a second viewing. At least. But it's got many of his usual themes and tropes and I enjoyed it thoroughly. He's also excelled himself in the minging body horror stakes, which is no mean feat.

The Exorcist. Shocking in 1973 but tame in 2022.

And why the scenes in Iraq at the start - they led to nothing.

3/10

The Wall
Tense, slow burning Iraq war , sniper vs sniper showdown.

3/10

Is it not something to do with the medallion he digs up?

Terrifier 2 - 7/10

This is very much not for the faint of heart, but I find reports of people fainting and vomiting in the cinema a bit far fetched.

A huge improvement on the first, which was just a vehicle for gore. It's got a much more human feel, and characters are actually developed, especially Sienna.

I did find the gorier parts getting a bit repetitive, though some of them were truly outstanding if that's your thing.

Potential for a third, as there are a lot of unanswered questions.

Is it not something to do with the medallion he digs up?

I had to Google. Apparently it's mentioned in the second movie but there's still no real link between the Iraqi dig and the Georgetown possession.

All Quiet on the Western Front - 9/10

One of the most powerful war stories told, no matter the format. This doesn't disappoint. Even though I've read the book several times, and knew what was coming, it still packs a massive punch.

Grownups - I wanted a no-brain-needed feel good comedy.

Then I watched
Slumdog Millionaire - I was in two minds to watch this after having just watched the aforementioned film but I'm glad I did as it reminds me to keep going.
