Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Going on my watchlist, TN. thanks for heads-up. Sounds interesting.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017, Luc Besson)


Another piece of style-over-substance, eye-popping, visual-candy extravaganza from Luc Besson - who, frankly, I'm not a very big fan of.
The visual aspect was very impressive, and some of the action was fun but unfortunately that's where the good things end. Aside from the utterly vacuous, cliche-ridden mess of a story and unfunny dialogue, there was a glaring lack of interesting, charismatic characters - the two lead ones were just bland (no chemistry whatsoever).

Overall, not totally worthless but not the best way to spend 137 minutes of your life, either.

I very much enjoyed that movie. Shame her latest has had such bad reviews.

The Ascent (1977)



Russian WWII art film from the seventies by a Russian filmmaker. Visually stunning, powerful performances, an incredible story, this movie was outstanding.

My Man Godfrey (Gregory La Cava, 1936)
Pretty good for a film that's full of Bullocks

The Killing of a Sacred Deer -

oh, deer

Sorry to hear you didn't liked Camo. I found it a solid remake. But the original is so much better. Eiichi Kudô camework is God's level for a 1963 movie. As a traditional jidaigeki the film is more about the oppression of the weak by those in authority, a very commom thing during the The Tokugawa Shogunate. The original was the first film of the "Samurai Revolution Trilogy" by Eiichi Kudô. 13 Assassins It's not my favorite of the trilogy but i really like this film. Can I recommend you some Takashi Miike films? This remake (and the Harakiri remake too) are commercial works that he had done. Allow me to recommend some of his original/autoral works:
Ichi: The Killer (based on manga)
Dead or Alive
Audition
Fudoh: The New Generation (based on manga)
Agitator (Solid yakuza flick without Miike's bloody extravaganza)

I'll throw in a recommendation for The Bird People in China on top of those ones.

It's a great film this one but it's a very different Miike film.
Miike was unrecognizable behind the cameras. He has always been a versatile director. I wanted to recommend the works that made him famous first. But definelly a great film this one.

I watched this before and still feel the same way. My wife saw someone on a morning show promoting Golden Shower so she told me to put it on the watchlist. I figured she should see the first one. I just think it's very entertaining, better than most of the action blockbusters that come out. I like the cast, and I was never a Colin Firth fan before, but now I am. The blade runner villain girl is very hot, and I liked Sammy Jackson as well. Some good humor and a few nice soundtrack choices top it off. I'm expecting to not like the sequel as much.


A couple on vacation in Spain go to an island where the children are killing off all the adults. I've always been creeped out by evil kids, and the kids in this movie were no exception. Besides being creepy, it's a bit unsettling and has a great ending. The beginning during the opening credits seemed out of place to me, showing documentary type footage of kids suffering during wars and other horrible events. It was also hard for me not to be bothered by the couple's constant stupidity. Worst of all, the movie is ridiculously slow.

Imagine that you're watching a Crime/Drama with gang wars and a lot of tension and then this happens:


Just in Bollywood you can see such a thing.
Really liked some characters and plot wise it was ok but the main problem was the fast paced edit and the stupid action scenes. And there's quite a lot of this scenes. It ruined the film unfortunally.

Shame you didn't like it more but not entirely surprised tbh.
Agree with this, I think it's there to try and raise the consciousness of the normal view of children as innocents but it's unnecessary and goes on far too long anyway imo.
I've seen worse .... of course normal people would just gtfo but that wouldn't be a very interesting fillum would it
Each to their own but I love it's pace personally, if it was less sedentary it wouldn't create the same atmosphere and to me this one is all about the atmosphere.

Glad you enjoyed.

Straight Outta Compton - (2015)

Another fan of this piece of complete garbage I see (I gave it purely because I like Toyah lol).
Maybe I'll pass on the opportunity for Gerald's Game if it ever comes around.

I turned off geralds game like 8 minutes in to it. Didnt look so promising

And yeah, best skip Gerald's Game, atrociously bad.

Very wise decision. I held on in disbelief. Surely it would get better soon?! It didn't.
