The juvenile in me started sniggering, sorry. Wow, fair play. That's a few to crack on with then for the rest of the year to hit your target. Look forward to seeing the updated list at year end. ramsbottom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suburra is good without hitting the same heights as Gomorrah. In fairness, very little does though. NottsRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Last Night in Soho. Lots of good ideas, with a timeslip horror story, but in the end horror is almost always better implied than shown, and Edgar Wright showed too much here. But great to see Terence Stamp and Dian Rigg (her final film) as well as the young stars. I hadn't realized Anya Taylor-Joy from The Queen's Gambit was going to be in it, but sadly she didn't bother with the premiere so I walked up the red carpet with Matt Smith. Not quite the same. 6/10 Benedetta. I love Paul Verhoeven and everything he does. So that's extraordinary scifi such as Robocop, Total Recall and Starship Troopers, but also movies like Basic Instinct and Black Book. What stands out in all his work is the ambiguity. For instance, in Starship Troopers should you really be on the side of the humans, or isn't it actually the arachnids who are being attacked by the fascists from Earth? Based on a true story, Benedetta is a lesbian nun extravaganza set in the 1600s. It could have descended into silliness, but Virginie Efira was brilliant as the title character (and she did come to the premiere so it was nice to walk up the red carpet with her) and because she played the role with such conviction, you were left wondering. Charlotte Rampling excellent too. 7/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The Empty Man Passed everyone by when it came out but is gaining traction now as a bit of a cult classic. 'Horror' but a sort of cross between the Wicker Man and the Mothman Prophecies. Good solid 7/10. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsRam Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13109952/ The Trip (on Netflix), Norwegian dark comedy, funny and quite gory, really enjoyed it. Its a Phil Gee/10 for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was briefly a bit peeved as I'd have just waited and watch them back to back had I known. That said, I did really like it. Villeneuve and Fraser were billed as something of a dream team and they've not disappointed. What is disappointing is the probable 2 and a half year wait to see part two. Fun fact - part one reputedly cost an eye-watering $165 million to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Dune - Never read the books or seen the original film. But did enjoy this. A slow burner but second half of the film is where it came good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Dune. Phenomenal. I am a fan of the book(s) but I am not one of those people who gets all snotty because a film maker's vision does not exactly match my own. I was in awe of every moment, completely drawn in. I did not notice that it was 2 and a half hours. The casting was brilliant, the political menace of the Bene Gesserit and violence of the Harkonens was perfectly pitched. The absence of the emperor was a great touch (too powerful to appear in a film). The big kid in me wants an ornithopter. One thing I didn't like was that worm sign was just a cloud of dust but you can't have everything. I know that Warner brothers execs read this forum, so please make part 2.

Tamworthram Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Watched An American Werewolf in London on Saturday. Despite the Alamo joke and some great music, it hasn't aged as well as I'd hoped. 5/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
