I thought it was impressive how it reconciled the issues with telling the story from Steven King's book, while being faithful to the ending of original film of The Shining. 9/10 mozza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRam Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Criminal from 2016. Kevin Costner stars. Not seen him play this sort of 'thuggish' character before and he does it well. 8/10. Locke from 2013. Tom Hardy stars. The setting is his motorway journey. Never thought phone calls could be so dramatic! 8.5/10.

Comrade 86 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Finally got around to watching Tenet. Have to say it's a rather disappointing outing from a director who thus far, has barely put a foot wrong. Horrendous soundtrack, a complete lack of character development and convoluted to the point of being barely comprehensible. Kenneth Branagh aside, the entire cast seem to sleepwalk through the movie which hardly helps. The first hour I found mildly intriguing but it's all downhill from there on. 5/10 WhiteHorseRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Rampage, starring Dwayne Johnson Mindless dross, but you knew that anyway. At the same sort of level as Megashark v Giant Octopus, and the same sort of plot line. Utterly, mind-numbingly bloody brilliant - if you don't take it seriously. Somewhere between 0/10 and 10/10, dependent upon how drunk you are. Mostyn6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4derby Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Knives Out Came into it with high expectations, having heard from many different sources how good and clever it is. It’s alright. Some good performances, and a decent attempt at the murder mystery genre, but nothing special. I was waiting for the big plot twists and reveals... Maybe my expectations were just too high. The film is fine, but not the incredible piece of film making many others love Bielik (career so far) / 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRam Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 The Man Who Fell to Earth - This film fascinated me as it starred David Bowie but never got round to see it. A strange, 'trippy' sort of film nothing like I've seen before. Bowie is good but the script is all over the place. Could have been so much better...maybe I was expecting something like 'Starman'. 5/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Home Alone The idea of it kicking off the Christmas celebrations and making you feel all nostalgic for an insanely prosperous 1990 that didn't really exist is better than the actual film.

You're waiting for a train... I think some are making stuff up Mr Sagan! Inception a superior film in every sense in my view. Have you seen Tenet and if so what did you make of it? Initially it did make me think of you as I thought it'd be your kind of movie. By the end I'd changed my mind though! ?

On 28/08/2020 at 18:38, Carl Sagan said: Went to TENET last night as a lover of Nolan's Inception, Interstellar, Memento and The Prestige. I didn't know what the film was going to be about, but it turned out to link to areas of my scientific expertise on which Nolan decided to build the plot. I found it so disappointing. It might be that on the third or fourth watch it falls into place, but a film has got to give you a decent payoff on first viewing. I'll give it 3/10 for some pretty scenes and the mention in the script of Richard Feynman. Such high hopes, all shattered. But time is a great healer and having heard the Inception theory (aka made-up nonsense), I might give TENET another go soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
