Bob The Badger Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Schindlers List - Netflix I've wanted to watch this for the 30 years it's been out but the wife never did and I was hesitant that it would just depress me. The was going out on Saturday and as it gets thrown off Netflix at the end of this month I thought I'd watch it. Totally remarkable. Seldom have I seen a film where the acting, screenwriting and direction are all almost flawless. I can see why it scores 9.0 on IMDb. A harrowing yet heart lifting story and not for the squeamish. It's tough to say you enjoyed a movie like this for obvious reasons, but jeez if you haven't watched it you probably should.

I watched it about 10years ago and can’t think of many occasions where I’ve genuinely sobbed. I mean sobbed too. I’m often teary-eyed, but sobbing is rare. I dare say it changed my outlook on humanity and history. Bob The Badger and Rev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say I personally was deeply moved rather than traumatised. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 The Usual Suspects Watched it again last night. Knowing the ending didn't detract from it one iota. Dean Saunders/10 Bob The Badger, Gap tooth ram and sage 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Master (new on Amazon Prime) A hard one to rate. Imdb says it's: "Three women strive to find their place at an elite Northeastern university as old as the country. When anonymous racist attacks target a Black freshman, who insists she is being haunted by ghosts of the school's past, each woman must determine where the real menace lies." ....which doesn't really feel like the same film I watched. It definitely invokes "Get out" but I'm honestly not sure what it was about. Good cast and definitely unsettling and a bit spooky but it's being marketed as Horror - which it isn't. 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 The Batman Started off exactly as I hoped. Dark, brooding, vaguely 'emo' (put me in mind of The Crow) with great visuals and soundtrack. Started to drag a little towards the end and become slightly predictable but still a great attempt at breathing new life into it. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFruitsRam7 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) Soul Plane. Objectively terrible. Incredibly offensive.

BucksRam Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard - I like Reynolds and Jackson. I also like Hopper (in Black Sails and The Umbrella Academy anyway) but this was poor. A few chuckles yes, but this is a sequel that should never have happened imo. Only because of the chuckles......5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaLocks Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 The Duke: Lovely 'small' UK comedy drama, in the mould of Ealing comedies, kitchen sink movies. If you like films like Made in Dagenham, Calendar Girls, Kinky Boots, BIlly Elliott and the like then you will like this. Almost unbelievable story, fantastic acting from a couple of national treasures. OK, not the best film you've ever seen but a warming affair all round.

Dark, moody, I definitely see similarities with The Crow. I have to say I started to drift off to sleep a couple of times. It’s way too long - nearly 3 hours. I don’t see why films like this need to be that long. It seems to be a trend recently. 6.5/10 so I’d say a Spencer Prior/10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 I went with didn’t like it, thought it was too long and boring. However, I quite enjoyed that it was a different retelling. Liked the year 2 element - not another beginning story or end of his reign. I love the Dark Knight trilogy, so was also glad it wasn’t an attempt to copy that, as it would have fallen short and I’d have been more disappointed.

Rev Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I've avoided this film since it was released, assuming it wasn't very good, but I read a making of article recently so tried it. Mike Bassett, England Manager, is a British jem, enjoyable and with real heart, I liked it very much. Johnny Russell/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree with your assessment, though I went in with high expectations. Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
