Dawnrazor Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Nocebo. 4 / 10. It's on Netflix and the first thing I think I've that Mark Strong was in that's been pretty shit, Eva Green is wooden and it's like a feature length version of a Tales of the Unexpected. Try something else before you bother with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 " knock at the cabin" 2022 Its a M Night Shyamalan film. He burst on the film scene years ago with the " 6th sense" and his films have been known for their twists. " 6rh sense" was terrific and he has made a few decent films after that like "Unbreakable" " Signs" and " The village" but his input has seriously deteriorated in recent years. This film is awful. Its that bad. Ludicrous plot and I kept hoping for a twist to at least make it semi interesting but Nothing. Best to be avoided. 3/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyJudyJudy Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 "Harriet" true life bio about Harriet Tubman who fled from slavery and ending up resuesing many slaves in the deept south to safer places in the North and Canada. The film was really interesting about a good history lesson as I had never heard of her before. She led a worthwhile life, not only helping slaves free but also womens suffrage today . A real shero . Good film but not great. 7/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticJambo Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Blonde, Monroe biopic beautifully shot throughout. The lead, Ana de Armas has been nominated for an Oscar in the Best Actress categoy, even does a reluctant BJ very well, I certainly think the Razzie nominations are unjust.

Theyre all a bit similar, funny moments which lull you into thinking your watching a comedy followed by episodes which are incredibly dark and hard to watch.

First half of it was like a Shameless clone, lots of poverty porn and titting about. Then there was a tonal shift in the final two episodes, with a either a rape, or a murder, or both. End of series. Same again next series. It got very formulaic, very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Just watched Elvis on Sky Movies. Not quite sure where it’s getting all the lavish praise from. It all seemed a bit garbled to me with the director showing his usual obsession with design and camera work. Also thought Tom Hanks wasn’t as bad as I’d read. Not a bad film but not a great one with.

Predictable story and seemed like the final fight could have been stretched out a bit more but enjoyable none the less.
