Saved the new Wallace And Gromit Vengeance Most Fowl as an end of day treat to myself. Absolutely superb as ever, so many clever little gags in it as well as a fun story. 

 

Some superb references and meta jokes in there.

Yorkshire border - no parkin

News presenter called Anton Dec

A Quiet Place: Day One

 

I loved the first two and whilst this isn't as good it was still decent. The wee cat was a great actor. 😁

 

7/10

[Tazio]

I’m currently watching Godzilla x Kong The New Empire. I’m not ashamed to say I’ve not got a ****ing clue what’s going on. Absolutely appalling script that makes no sense.

I think its genius. Probably the best thing on the telly over this festive season.

[Ray Gin]

Agree with the above praise. Wallace & Gromit was class.

[Tazio]

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Good fun and a fitting follow up to the original. 

Spoiler

I wondered why Charles Deitz from the first film was portrayed as a puppet and just thought it was a typically quirky little gag. Turns out the actor was done as a sex offender and wasn’t considered for the film. Though the portrayal through a voice actor impersonating him was with his permission 

 

[JudyJudyJudy]

“ Triangle of sadness “ 

 

Really enjoyed this quirky tale about the super Rich on a luxury yacht which is hijackeed then sinks by modern day pirates . Some of   rich and the yacht staff survive and land on a “ desert island “ then the Fun begins ! It’s exceptional really . 
 

9/10 

[JudyJudyJudy]

“ Carry on “ 

 

 

load of nonsense really but the actor Taron  Egerton  is always worth watching 

 

6/10 

[JudyJudyJudy]

“ The critic “ 

 

with hammy Ian Mckellan . Mark Strong and Gemma Aterton . Hammy nonsense about a vicious old critic who faces the chop as a theatre critic and resorts to various shenanigans to ensure he doesn’t .
 

5/10 .

Gladiator 2. 
 

if you like films set in ancient times with lots of brutal action scenes you’ll like it. If you’re looking for anything remotely as good as Gladiator you’ll be disappointed. Some great fight scenes. How did they catch and transport the sharks in that era?  Some poor casting.
 

6/10

It obviously wasn't poor casting mate...they caught the f#cking shark

Nosferatu, 8/10. How a horror should be. A classic story with atmosphere and a genuinely frightening evil entity as the villain. Excellent casting and performances throughout

[rudi must stay]

Better Man 

 

Great film

 

8/10

[superjack]

Just finished gladiator 2. FFS, up there with the worst of films. Sharks, really?

[JudyJudyJudy]

" The Ten Commandments "  1956 

 

It was on council telly so i thought id give myself a treat and rewatch this epic.

 

It really is an epic.  Big sets, glorious technicolour effects, music score , scenery et al. Chuck Wooden Heston playing the prohet Moses as if he was in a Shakespeare play. To be fair to him he had the necessary gravatis to play Moses , if not the accent. Yul Bryner playing his brother Rameses who will not let Moses people go and he suffers terribly due to this. 

 

Its a really great cast with Vincent Price ,  Edward G Robinson , Judith Anderson , Yvonne de Carlo ( i know all my old film stars) and the camptasitc Anne Baxter as the venomous Queen Nefretiri.  She really chews the scenery LOL.

 

Excellent hokum. 

 

8/10 from me.

I can maybe see why you liked it 🤔 but it failed my ‘give it 15 minutes’ test

 

No score since I didn’t watch nearly enough

[Disser Pointon]

Better Man. Safe to say I'm not a big Robbie Williams fan but this was excellent all the same, a solid 8/10. The use of the CGI chimp to play him rather than an actor worked brilliantly.

[Tazio]

Just watched Father Goose on Ch4 with Cary Grant and Lesley Caron. Perfect old school escapism. Guns Of Navarone is on next bud sadly I have to go out. 

[Cruyff]

Gladiator 2. Switched it off it was that shite.

Better in the cinema 

[Tazio]

The Searchers. Surely the most controversial character John Wayne ever played, a man obsessed with revenge and hatred. It’s a shame that the Hollywood system at the time felt the need to put the humorous side story of Martin and the girl he left behind and the ridiculous character of Charlie. If that part of the film was cut out it would have been an even more influential film than it already is. Beautiful camera work with the iconic closing image of Ethan in particular. 

[Cruyff]

Speak no evil (2024) 

 

"A dream holiday turns into a living nightmare when an American couple and their daughter spend the weekend at a British family's idyllic country estate".

 

James McAvoys a great actor. Plays a great nutter. 

 

8.5/10

The remake with Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchette(a terrific actress in her own right) wasn't to shabby imho.

I presume you mean The Missing? Great and underrated film, though I’d say it was more ‘influenced by’ rather than a remake.

Hmmmm . If the original hadn’t been such a classic piece of cinema this would have been okay. Unfortunately you just can’t help comparing

 

6/10 for me

it's a very funny riot of a film. 

[Bozi]

The Substance - or David Croenenbergs Death Becomes Her

 

Very interesting film exploring ageism and the desperate pursuit of youth in modern society. Excellent performances by Demi Moore as the ageing star desperately trying to remain relevant and loved and Dennis Quaid as the grotesque executive throwing her on the scrap heap and finding the "next hot thing" he can exploit.

 

The whole thing embraces the shallowness of Hollywood and although it's never explained how Sparkles actually pays for the 'substance' the cost is clear.

 

Pity the ending goes a little too silly but definitely a movie worth watching

Late Night With the Devil.

Enjoyable movie about a talk show host and his, ermmm... interesting guests.

 

I downloaded a torrent.

Yeah , really decent with some interesting messages about Hollywood, ageism and celebrity life but just a wee bit too OTT at the end for me.

 

Still enjoyable though

Try and watch the original if you get a chance mate - much better and bleaker!

Watching Triangle Of Sadness and was shocked to learn the beautiful actress who plays Yana died in 2022.

Dark game.

 

On Netflix just now. Thank me later.

[luckyBatistuta]

Just finished The Substance

 

Thought it was time to watch this after seeing Demi Moore lift a Globe for her performance.

 

 

There is no time to watch this movie, just don’t. What a pile of horseshit. I can’t believe I hung in there to the end. 
 

Terrible film 0.5/10

 

.5 only because Demi Moore is in it
