Eddie Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Tremors 6 - A Cold Day In Hell. Yet another Graboids film. Like all the others, not to be taken seriously. In the right place, it works. Derek Hales / 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, gotcha, though I heard that was just his phone bill. Ouch. Luckily I love those little square pasta things he makes so I've forgiven him. richinspain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viagra clinical trials start in Wales in the 80s with a bunch of guys all getting the opportunity to deal with their diabetes caused impotence by taking part. It was an easy enough watch, but ultimately, I was a bit bored, and the jokes (It's not a comedy per se, but very lighthearted) were all a bit predictable. Mrs Badge enjoyed it a lot more than I did.

Crewton Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 A recommendation from Mrs C from a recent flight "Empire of Light", a 2022 Sam Mendes film starring Olivia Coleman as the manager of a seaside cinema in the 1980s struggling with her mental health. She described it as "sweet and touching" which is odd because she usually describes such films as "soppy", so maybe it isn't too sugary. I'll try to catch it myself somewhere to see if I agree.

There's been a few films of this type around on Netflix and other channels in the last year (The Battle of Narvik being another) that feature important but lesser known episodes of the war. Although there's always some human stories added, the historical aspects alone make them worthy imo. Ram-Alf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramit Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I had been meaning to watch this film for some time, but felt I perhaps needed to be in the right frame of mind to fully experience it. Had read reviews and watched documentaries of the film, some of it twice, but there was something akin to dread holding me back from taking that step into the room in The Zone that is Stalker, a Soviet film from 1979 by director Andrei Tarkovsky. The making of the film is a three part tragic story all by itself and the toxic environment it was filmed in ruined the health of many in the crew, including Tarkovsky, or so it is claimed. There was no need for my trepidation it turned out, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip to The Zone, but it surprised me like no other film has, for as I watched and became engrossed in this slow moving dark hypnotic film I got the distinct feeling that it was about me. A mad conclusion you might think, but after viewing I have read reactions of others left feeling the same way about it. I have never seen anything like it, it is beyond rating, a personal journey through misty landscapes of the mind sprinkled with something intangible, just beyond reach, yet in one's face, inducing nods of agreement and personal comprehension. Best experienced alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Git Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) Poor Things Frankenstein meets Edward Scissorhands and Only Fans! Enjoyed this black comedy immensely. Emma Stone is hilarious. Paul Jewell (for context only), otherwise 9/10. Edited January 19 by Grumpy Git Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Dogman (2023) Will definitely trigger a few DCFC forumites based on their posting records (there's a lot of cross-dressing going on) and there's no doubt that it's daft AF, but it does contain a startling performance from Caleb Landry Jones that despite the moderate success of Besson's latest output, will surely secure him an award or two. FWIW, I think it's a much better film than the ratings suggest. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt17009348/ Pesch / 10 March general release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Another to look out for is Radical - In some ways, a well-trodden path, but this is also a wonderful film telling the true story of an idealistic teacher's travails in a corrupt and violent Mexican border town. Won't say anything else other than I'd give it a strong thumbs up, especially for some incredibly nuanced performances from very young actors. Charlie George / 10* *He shoots, he scores In cinemas from May. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14570440/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
