Everything the title promised. Total brain dead drivel yet really well shot...can't fault the camera crew. Hidden Figures better be better now...

Get Out. A really different horror film - and I don't like horror. Rented it on Sky last night.
Also Baby Driver was fantastic fun.

Yes! Just watched Get Out myself. I'm not easily impressed but I thought this one was genuinely creepy. Quite when done. Confused me, though, that Netflix categorized it as a comedy-horror. I mean... comedy? Really?Rum wrote:Get Out. A really different horror film - and I don't like horror. Rented it on Sky last night.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Saw another movie about apes today. It was awesome.

Re: Movies of the good kind we have looked upon.
Well, I did think it was funny. But then I think every horror movie is funny -- and the more horrific it is, the funnier I find it. But for Netflix to call it a horror/comedy is, I think, misleading. Calling it that brings to mind Shaun of the Dead, that sort of thing.Animavore wrote:It's total satire, dude.tattuchu wrote:Yes! Just watched Get Out myself.

Watched The Girl With All the Gifts. I liked it. I think the young actress who played the girl (with all the gifts) did a helluva job.
Watching Okja now...

I liked LaLaLand. Saw Ant Man last night. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either.

Re: Movies of the good kind we have looked upon.
Went to see Dunkirk yesterday with a mate. A superb film. Go see it!
Very British - no larger than life heroes, no America is wonderful, no gore. But a slow burn gut wrenching highly dramatic drama. Wonderful. (I won't give away the ending! )

No need. The ending, to resort to an overused platitude, is history.Rum wrote:(I won't give away the ending! )
Going by your description, Dunkirk is the sort of movie I enjoy watching the most.

The fact it doesn't have contrived, mushy, patriotic speeches is a big draw for me.

Re: Movies of the good kind we have looked upon.
Can't say I'm familiar with The Battle of Dunkirk other than the name. But I'm assuming it's another glorious battle that we Americans won single-handedly, pulling our allies' arses out the fire yet again

Re: Movies of the good kind we have looked upon.
You weren't in it at all. That's why you aren't familiar with it. Although, that said, if an American director had made this film, they would've put America into it and they would win the battle instead of losing.tattuchu wrote:Can't say I'm familiar with The Battle of Dunkirk other than the name.

Shit! Was that a spoiler?

Valerian and the City of 1000 Planets, though, for an adaptation of a French comic, seeing it in subtitled English did not do it at all...
