Anyway this is a cracker. Real mind bender with theory of time travel, black holes and 3rd to 5th dimensions. Matthew McConnaughey who I really like as an actor in the lead role. Great special effects. Couple of really emotional scenes. Its a strong 9/10 film. Recommended. It’s excellent . Very thought provoking. The film “ Arrival” is similar and also excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Interstellar after reading your 9/10 review. It was good, up until the time he went into the Black Hole, then it became a bit weird. But I'm not a big sci-fi fan, so it's probably me!

JudyJudyJudy Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 A great anecdote about some modern film making I couldn't agree more with Lauren Bacall...this is great : "In old age, she raged against what she saw as the mediocrity of contemporary Hollywood, as represented by everything from the career of Tom Cruise to the Twilight movies that her granddaughter dragged her to see. “She said it was the greatest vampire film ever made,” Bacall recalled. “After the film was over, I wanted to smack her across the head with my shoe.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Took the kid to see Free Guy last night. They loved it and it is a decent family film. My son recognised a lot of Youtubers and got a lot of the references to other films and games. I thought it was a decent feel good film but there is a 5 minute seen that I (and most of the audience) found very funny. It was great to hear people laughing in the cinema again. Unsure about a score. I would give it a 7 (kids say 10) but the 5 minute scene is worth a 10 on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I watched a couple of “oldies “ last night “ farewell my lovely “ 1975 with Robert Mitchum Sylvia Miles Charlotte Rampling . Really good adaptation of the classic Raymond Chandler book . Mitchum was a terrific actor . Very tough and masculine on screen , a real presence on it . The plot is very complex “ Tight spot “ 1955 crime film noir with Ginger Rogers Edward G Robinson and Brian Keith . This was really good . Rogers plays a jail bird who is asked to be a witness against a mob boss . She must be protected from the mob until she takes the stand . Rogers is great in this . She played working class sassy characters really well . An underrated actress . This was on YouTube . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Two trips to the cinema in two nights. Last night I went to see The Courier. Excellent watch and Benedict Cumberbatch plays his role very well. Based on real events that I didnt know about. 9/10 Tonight - Our Ladies. I am unsure about this one. Great tunes on it but the first hour I thought it was attempting to be a low budget Scottish comedy but the last half hour it took a serious turn. First hour, 3/10 last half hour 7/10.
