Mikey1874 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Asteroid City by Wes Anderson Unusual would be an understatement. Its a kind, gentle story told in vivid colours. That is actual vivid colours of a Midwest American settlement. Grief, love, youngsters story exploring the world, adults yearning. Science, aliens and humanity. A story within a play within a tv show. Wes Anderson himself called it a jigsaw puzzle. Stellar cast too. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi must stay Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 3 All three films for me are achievements I remember watching the first they have 100 people involved with the computer graphics.

Carl Fredrickson Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 The Little Mermaid (2023) Took my daughter to see this today as she has been asking for a few weeks to see it. I am not fan of Disney doing live action versions of "classics" however this one managed to keep my attention. Very well filmed with lots of vibrant colours in the happy scenes but equally well done were the darker scenes. Very impressive on the big screen. I would give it a surprising 7/10 and if any dads want to impress their young daughters, you will earn a few brownie points by taking them to see it.

Vansen Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 Didn't think this could or would top MI Fallout, and it doesn't. However, it was still excellent and the whole drive off a mountain and train scene was fantastic. A longish film but didn't feel like it. A very enjoyable 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big stunt set pieces with trains, car chases, and motorbike all pay off and thought some of the fight scenes were pretty epic and brutal. Hayley atwell and Pom Klementief great additions too.

Lovecraft Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 The Covenant Guy Ritchie's new movie. I'm assuming the have called it Guy Ritchie's The Covenant as you can't really tell it's a movie by him. 7.5/10 -.5 points for overly dramatic music at times. Jake Gyllenhaal rarely makes a bad movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Over-long, over-blown, strangely paced and the quip-a-thon bullshit is still in full flow. Not sure every single scene needs to be a music video. One or two would have done. The confusing, eye-bleeding CGI rainbow puke is very much in evidence. Having said that, it's still miles better than anything Marvel have shat out since Endgame (which feels like ages ago but is somehow only 4 years ago) Phase 4 was an unmitigated disaster. Phase 5 is off to a shaky start. 6.5/10. Edited July 16, 2023 by Cade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Demolition Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One As other posters have said, not quite as good as Fallout but good pace to it and as usual with these films, great action sequences. 7/10 Fight Club Always been meaning to watch this but never it round to it. Always seems to be hyped up but in my opinion, was pretty poor. Story was fairly simple and the ‘twist’ was predictable. 6/10 Shutter Island Again, always been meaning to watch it but never got round to it. Good story and DiCaprio and Ruffalo combine well together. 8/10 Don’t Worry Darling Another physiological thriller with Harry Styles, Florence Pugh and Chris Pine.

Vansen Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Infinity Pool Brandon Cronenberg directed horror. Hard to explain without giving up the plot but Alexander Skarsgard stars as an author on holiday who is seduced into chaos and depravity following a hit and run. It pushes boundaries to shock, it's gory and it's violent. If you enjoy the following this might be for you - 1. Stabbings 2. Blood 3. Nudity 4. Mental and physical violence 5. Degradation 6. Piss 7. Alcohol 8. A penis ejaculating 9. Depravity 10. Mia Goth 7.5/10 I enjoyed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Asteroid City (2023). A typical Wes Anderson offering: Cinematically stunning, a huge ensemble cast of A-list Hollywood stars, the tightly written script rattles along at a furious pace, the film doesn't mean anything or say anything important about anything at all. If you like Wes Anderson's work, you'll like this. If you don't, then you'll find it incomprehensible shite. I happen to like Wes Anderson's stuff. A solid 7.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
