JudyJudyJudy Posted October 27, 2024 Share Posted October 27, 2024 “ The Substance “ Well that was a roller coaster . Really enjoyed it . Very surreal . Demi Moore is terrific in the lead and so is the other actress playing her “ other self “ . Despite it being a sci fi horror it was also quite funny at times . 8/10 ps I wouldn’t be surprised if Moore gets awards recognition as she’s that good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted October 28, 2024 Share Posted October 28, 2024 You have to keep in mind that Pulp Fiction came out in 1994. It was a cultural phenomenon at the time. The anthological nature of the film with the vignettes being shown out of sequence was a radical idea at the time. The ensemble cast were all on the top of their game and the film is endlessly quotable. Even the soundtrack is top notch. As with many older films, modern sensibilities and expectations can have an effect on the viewer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortyJambo Posted October 28, 2024 Share Posted October 28, 2024 Canary Black on Amazon Prime. Standard run of the mill spy caper, starring Kate Beckinsale. Nothing new to it at all that you haven't seen before, but watchable enough. Ray Stevenson also appears in it, in one of his last movies before his death. Another film where it appears, from the ending, that they are wanting to start a franchise from it, but I don't see it happening. 5.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it at the time and also loved the soundtrack and I will definitely watch it again soon however I do think that if you are younger and watched some of QT's later films first, you might just think that Pulp Fiction drags a bit in quite a few scenes.

Ulysses Posted November 1, 2024 Share Posted November 1, 2024 Not a movie as such, but I'm not sure where else to post the recommendation. I went to see Nye in the National Theatre a few months ago, and it was also streamed in a few cinemas. Michael Sheen plays Aneurin Bevan in the closing days of his life, reflecting (and hallucinating) back over his life as he lies in a hospital bed following cancer surgery. I liked the play well enough, but I thought Sheen was outstanding. It's being streamed free on YouTube for four days next week, from November 7th to 11th. It might be worth it if you're a big fan of either Michael Sheen's acting or British political history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted November 2, 2024 Share Posted November 2, 2024 (edited) The Substance (2024) Psychological/body-horror from French writer/director Coralie Fargeat. A fading, ageing Hollywood star (played by Demi Moore) takes an experimental substance in a desperate attempt to stay young and relevant. The rest of the film plays out like some version of the Dorian Gray story (the younger version being played by Margaret Qualley, Andie MacDowell's daughter) and is very reminiscent of the works of David Lynch, from the bizarre way people talk, to the claustrophobic camera work, to the colour grading used, to the sound effects and even the psychedelic nature of the ending. A decent watch but it's nothing new; Black Swan, Raw, and especially Titane have all covered similar ground before in recent years. Any number of Lynch's works or the works of David Cronenberg have also trodden this same path many times over the last few decades. 7/10.

Cade Posted November 8, 2024 Share Posted November 8, 2024 Kinds of Kindness (2024) Another slice of surreal madness from Yorgos Lanthimos. Three short films stitched together but totally separate from each other, with the same actors playing different parts in each. Jesse Plemons, Emma Stone, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau and Willem Dafoe form the core of the ensemble cast. Themes in all three films are very loosely based around control, religion, obsession and the need to gain approval from peers. Not quite as good as the director's previous offerings but a decent watch. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted November 10, 2024 Share Posted November 10, 2024 Paddington Goes To Peru. For us old enough, any mention of Peru will bring us out in a cold sweat. This film makes up for it. Aimed at families and hits the spot. Paddington has his usual slapstic scenes and there are plenty references to other films. Silly nonsense that my kids (even my older son) loved 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
