JudyJudyJudy Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 BBC Four - The Fear of God: Twenty-Five Years of The Exorcist This is a really good documentary. A detailed exploration of this classic film. Amazingly there is a follow up coming out soon with Ellen Burstyn in it again. It looks pretty good. Never seen a horror at the pics in years but might go to see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vansen Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Saw X Enjoyed this massively. Set between Saw 1 and 2, it ramps up the story and the gore. One trap nearly had me spewing into my bag of Maltesers 🤮 😁 7.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Peninsula (2020) 2nd live-action movie in the "Train to Busan" franchise. Not a direct sequel but a new story told in the same setting. 4 years after the zombie outbreak in South Korea, a group of Korean refugees are tasked by the Hong Kong mafia with returning to the peninsula to retrieve a truck containing $10 million US dollars. A passingly enjoyable zombie/heist/adventure film. Not a patch on Train to Busan itself but worth a watch if it's on telly. 6.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americana Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Bit of a fan of MI films but this was testing and truly ridiculous plot, managed an hour 20 and then had to turn off, no amount of action could make up for it. 3/10. All 3 points for them casting Hayley Atwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was almost ignored on its initial release but is now rightly viewed as a classic and amongst the greatest of all horror films . The tension in the scene where they all have to get their blood examined is incredible . The effects were well ahead of their time too . I must have seen it about 5/6 times now . Shamefully John Carpenter has never even been nominated for an Oscar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971fozzy Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) Rebel without a Cause. (4K disc) given the film is nearly 70 years old 😱 it’s as relevant now as it’s ever been.

JudyJudyJudy Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) “‘West side story “ the new version . It was better than I expected . Ironically the guy who played Tony was better than the guy who played it in the 1961 classic but Natalie wood was still better than the lass who played it in this New version . Rita Moreno was also in it , playing the shop keeper role . Must have been quite emotional for her as she played Anita in the original . The lass who played Anita was very good and also won an Oscar , just like Rita did , ( however Judy should have won it for “ Judgement at Nuremberg gif is her in it ) The musical numbers were very good and excitedly choreographed . A good attempt at remaking a classic Edited October 16, 2023 by JudyJudyJudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Blue Velvet (1986) David Lynch neo-noir mystery starring Kyle MacLachlan, Dennis Hopper, Isabella Rossellini and Laura Dern.

Cruyff Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) Equaliser 3 It's a pish film tbh but it's Denzel Washington doing ninja shit so 6/10. The Pope's exorcist Utter shite but Russell Crowes performance was actually really good which probably rescued it. A cross between Ghostbusters and Indiana Jones. Started of well then descended into the utterly ridiculous with some hideous special effects. 3/10 The one Anthony Hopkins did was a trillion times better.

Carl Fredrickson Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) The Burial on Prime. Litigation drama with Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones based on real events. If you like David v Goliath true stories (l am a sucker for them) then this will appeal to you. 8./10 The Fabelmans on NowTV. Steven Spielberg film telling the story of his upbringing and desire to become a film maker. I am unsure how accurate it is but I found it engrossing. The film takes you up to a certain point in his life and I hope he does another film as I throughly enjoyed this. 9/10 Edited October 17, 2023 by Carl Fredrickson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
