As Astra , Brad Pitt in a space suit, it is not a very good film and very long winded,story line is very thin and it just doesn't really go anywhere .not one to bother with again that's for sure.

That could be the understatement of the year.

Just watched it, absolutely on eof the worst films I've ever seen, no real story line at all, drags on for an eternity with nothing actually happening in the film and as entertainment goes horrendous. For a film with some good actors it's truly garbage.

You were warned

You were warned

Indeed I was and glad I didn't pay for the privilege of the viewing.. Just seemed a huge indulgence for the directors

Just saw Joker. Not what I expected, feels much more gritty and real than a normal comic movie. It's a real character study. Does take a bit longer to get going as a result, but it's worth a watch. Not like other portrayals of the Joker either, Phoenix has managed to make his quite unique.

Widows on Sky. Pretty decent film as a remake of the Lynda La Plante book and TV series. Switched to Chicago and really only the basic premise remains but some good performances.

Joker - Absolutely superb imo, Joaguin Phoenix is outstanding in the main role.
Had a bit of everything, laughs, shock factor and edge of seat moments.

 

[Blue in Munich]

Joker; a must see film according to the critics. Well I've seen it.

Joaquin Phoenix is phenomenal I have to agree, you really believed you were looking at actual footage of a troubled man rather than an actor portraying a part, but I can take or leave the rest of it. In fairness I'm not a DC Comics fanboy, and I'm not suggesting it's bad, just not getting the rave. The much talked about level of violence was overhyped, as was the shock, and the one really funny moment, according to the rest of the audience, I saw as it blundered over the horizon.

Bring on Judy & Gemini Man

Bring on Judy & Gemini Man

I’d like to see him win an Oscar for his performance, for all the weakness’s the film has, his performance blew me away.

Wouldn't argue with that at the moment Paul, although I might once I've seen Judy, as Renee Zelleweger looks superb in the trailers.

Not sure about Judy, maybe Woody Harrelson in Zombieland - Double Tap might push them both.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Gemini man.
I’d probably give it 6/10.

 

[Beezerk]

On the plane I watched The Dead Don't Die, kind of ok zombie flick but quite slow paced, stupid ending as well. Also watched The Death of Stalin which I thought was excellent.
Fell asleep 45 minutes into US so I'll have to finish that on the flight back

I'm now arguing Paul, I think Zelleweger's is the better performance. I think it's a better film as well, but I accept that it's comparing apples and oranges and therefore purely subjective.

Not sure my lad will let us go and watch Judy I’ll have to resort to blackmail.

You're supposed to be the parent; tell him to do as he's bloody well told.

And before the pedants arrive, yes, they can both win an Oscar.

That's a tough sell for you. It seems a slightly odd film to have made. I would have understood 20-30 years ago but now 🤔?

 

[Orikoru]

Watched Lego Batman last night. Was the perfect happy low-concentration film for my hungover state. Quite a few chuckles.

 

[Robster59]

The Drop.
Quite an enjoyable film with, dark with some good actors. Don't expect an all-action shoot-em-up, just a good steady story-line.

 

[GB72]

El Camino. Does not really add massive amounts to breaking bad but it does not detract from it nor try to retcon any of it. Gives a conclusion to Jessie's story though it is a slightly obvious route to go down.
