Last film you watched and your rating

Just watched Memory.

It's on Netflix and well worth a watch.
A film about a contract killer who goes on a rampage after being asked to execute a child which is a line he won't cross.
I watched it because I like anything with Guy Pearce in it and he didn't disappoint.

Great film and a great story.
9/10 only loses a point for not being in space or Luton.

Lockout is one of my guilty pleasures. Pure cheese and I love it!

Lockout shouldn't be a guilty pleasure, it's a great film.

The reason it's a good movie is because it's lifted almost entirely from the infinitely superior Escape From New York - there was a plagiarism lawsuit which John Carpenter won against Luc Besson.

The one bit I hate is the PS2 era straight to dvd budget cgi in that early bike chase. It’s truly terrible.

[Jazzem]

Risky Business

He does the slide early on, so you're not waiting too long!

Incendies

I wasn't prepared for an Oldboy style twist

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

James Stewart John Wayne

Marathon Man

70s films are consistently grim af

-

Really liked all four above! Probably 8-8.5/10 ish for them generally. Definitely not rewatching Incendies any time soon though, oof

[Van Foster]

Aww, was looking forward to watching Incendies tonight. Don't think I'll bother now. Just be sitting there waiting for the twist

[Memento Mori]

Megalopolis- 2/10

It's awful. The highest budget Neil Breen film ever made. The apparent moral- that creative geniuses should be left alone to make their masterpieces without any outside interference is somewhat undermined by the fact that without any outside interference the creative genius Francis Ford Coppola made Megalopolis.

I just watched Robot World.

A scf-fi film about a guy sent to be the first person on an alien world.
If you like slow paced films where pretty much strawberry float all happens and the ending is so obvious even I worked it out then this may be the film for you.
The only upside is the film was made in the UK and has some lovely landscaope shots of the guy wandering about wilderness with the odd abandoned buildings.

I watched until the end and I'm not entirely sure why.
3/10, it's not entirely unwatchable I suppose and still way, way better than the last 2 Star Wars films.

It's on Prime if you fancy wasting 90 minute's.

I was listening to "The Weekly Planet" Podcast review of this yesterday, and I immediatly thought of how it sounds like a super budget Neil Breen film.

Shame what age and an ego can do to a man.

Also, highly reccomend everyone Listen to The Weekly planet podcast, or subsribe to the "Mr Sunday movies" on Youtube. 2 very funny Ozzies talk movies, TV and Comics etc. It's the same group who do the "Pitch meeting" series

Caravan of Garbage is often a highlight of my week.

[Skarjo]

Smile

I don't know why I thought this was a silly low-effort bit of shlock like Cam or Truth or Dare but this was actually a half decent meditation on the nature of generational trauma. It's not as clever as it thinks it is and it's definitely not as deep as it thinks it is, but it was worth a watch. Bit of a mash up of The Ring and It Follows but not as good as either of them, but not a wasted evening.

Agreed It's great, and their Podcasts are proper chunky in Length which is always nice

Can't beat a chunky length

[Jazzem]

Yeah Weekly Planet (+Caravan of Garbage) is great

I routinely checked their episodes for the Mission Impossible films when I went through all of those earlier this year. They tracked Cruise's haircut progression throughout the series!

Get Out

One horror film in for October and I already need to lie down

Absolutely incredible of course. Among many great details, I completely missed that the family member deaths are ironic (dad hates deers and impaled by trophy antlers, son obsessed with sports killed when wrestled, psychiatrist mother killed in her office, girlfriend pretends to care about Chris's mother's hit and run death bleeds out on road

9/10

I'm like 85% sure this is a joke :p

[BOR]

The Batman - 8/10.

I am surprised how good it was and it was better than what I expected. I enjoyed it.

[Rocsteady]

Joker 2 - that was genuinely absolutely terrible. God it was so strawberry floating boring. Never checked my watch during a film so much in my life

[Hexx]

You’re the only one I know who’s seen it but IMDB/Cinemascore etc have it going below Morbius, Madame web etc in audience scores

[floydfreak]

just like the Cgi scorpion king at the end of The Mummy 2

I’d argue the mummy is a bit better, early ps3?

[satriales]

The Platform 2 - 6.5/10
I expected this to be bad but it was actually alright. Doesn't offer any answers to the questions posed in the first film, but it is more of the same and equally watchable.

9/10

Yeah, Get Out is great. Excellent observations in the spoiler bit by the way. Need to watch it again, not sure if I missed those observations or just can't remember them as it's been awhile (probably the former). There are certainly a lot of layers to that film - I need to see it again

I never noticed any of those observations either.
