Americana Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 We Bought A Zoo. One of my childs favourites , really is a cracking film for the whole family.

Tazio Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Wakanda Forever. The sequel (of sorts) to Black Panther. A bit different to the usual Marvel stuff in that there are masses of superheroes around the place and no guest appearances by the usual suspects. Handled the death of Chadwick Boseman quite nicely. Never going to win any awards but not to bad if you like a big CGI movie with action sequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing performance by Livingston 12 year old Frankie Corio who starred as Sophie! Paul Mescal ( BBC's Normal People) impressed as her Scottish Dad. It was strange to see all inclusive holiday in Turkey in the days before mobiles, etc. Good music too! On 19/01/2023 at 16:28, IanV said: Saw Aftersun. Definitely won’t be for everyone - slow and arty - but can see why it got a lots of nods for Best Film of 2022 and a few BAFTA nominations. No harm that the daughter character is clearly a Jambo wearing a nice retro Strongbow top in a few scenes. On 24/01/2023 at 12:14, Notts1874 said: Aftersun. Absolutely superb. The two leads are incredible. Don't watch if you are feeling anyway fragile though!! Guid Hertz top on show as well. Seen a couple of news articles about this today so decided to give it a watch. Can only echo the posts above in that it's not going bto be for everyone and it's definitely more of an arty project than your standard film. One if those films where there is no story to follow. Thought some of the dialogue, especially from the girl, had to be unscripted because it was delivered so naturally and exactly the sort of throw away comments a child would come up with. On the flip side I couldn't help but feel like they literally only had 1 camera to film the whole thing which led to shots without a cut. Could just have been a director choice. Can't really give it a score but I would reccomend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two leads were given two weeks in the resort on their own before filming to build the father/daughter relationship. I'd recommend a second watch after a few days. You will get even more out of it. The "Under Pressure" scene though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
