Movie Record: 2019 Edition!! - The Bear and Badger

LivDiv

Yeah, had it on Blu Ray.

Jaco

Good man. I love a bit of T2.

Webbins

I remember going to the cinema to see T2 back in the day, when going to the movies was an event. I was blown away by it at the time, it had everything; Arnie, guns, cutting edge CGI, guns, Harley Fatboy, G'n'R, miniguns... amazing.

Webbins

Is the director's cut the one where the T-1000 kinda malfunctions?

hylian_elf

One of the scenes from directors cut I remember is Arnie having his cpu or whatever being taken out

Webbins

Ah yeah I've seen that.

Jaco

Yes. And he tried to smile.

Lego Jurassic World- put it on for the kids. It’s utter rubbish. They loved it. I was free to drink a coffee for half hour. 10/10

Aaroncupboard

Trainspotting 2 - was lovely and fun (mostly) to catch up with the characters but ultimately a bit pointless.

Cam - good, clever little thriller. Built a nice atmosphere and the main character was great.

Bringing Up Baby - still completely insane, still completely great.

Moot_Geeza

Unbreakable. Still pretty good, still his best film. [8]

Yes! It’s a fabulous old flick. Utterly mad. Cary Grant at his best.

Webbins

Split
Fairly good thriller. James McAvoy superb, all 24 of him. 7

Webbins

Source Code
Nifty, pacy and enjoyable Gyllenhaal groundhog techno thriller. 8

The Naked Gun 2 1/2 - not the best, but has the best running gag in the zoo breakout that pays off deliciously at the end

cockbeard

I'm not doing well this year so far, think I've seen some of the ones mentioned above, but not totally sure especially as I fall asleep watching films sometimes

Asher
Jewish Leon, everyone is 30 years older, slow, poorly written, slightly engaging [6]

edit: Ron Perlman alone is what earns many of those points

Glass
More holes than a box of Tetley. McAvoy’s split show far less convincing this time around. Shame. 3/10

LivDiv

Ill Manors
Excellent musical, poetic narration ties together interweaving story in London underbelly. Dark!

Annihilation - visually stunning but I found the film dull and the acting flat. 5/10

Bird Box - Some clichéd characters but good performances and a tense atmosphere. 7/10

American Animals - really enjoyed this, had a bit of the I Tonya docu feel. 8/10

Dang. I was hoping he'd make another good one seeing as this was surely a passion project. Ah well. They're advertising it heaps so I'm sure it'll make lots of money

It has already. One fucking thing about Shyamalan is no matter the film, he's tenacious. He took out a 5 mill loan to do The Visit which made $98 mill world wide.

He took out a $9 mill loan to do split which made $200+ mill world wide.

Glass is budgeted at $20 mill and made $16mill back on Friday night. Dude knows his pop corn

The smattering of folks in the theatre seemed equally dissatisfied. Cineworld Crawley plumped to show it on their only IMAX screen. Baffling, as it didn’t have one moment deserving that canvas. No talkers or munchers near us so could have been worse

Wookienopants

I really want to see it but I won’t go to the cinema anymore. Other people just ruin it for me. Talking, chewing loudly, rustling extra rustle bags and using phones just makes me want to go postal on them.

I’ll wait and check it out on blu ray or rent a stream when it arrives there. Can watch peacefully in my own home on my own.

3. Some Like It Hot - And some like it old, obvious, badly acted, but jolly good fun. 6/10

Wookienopants

Oh it’s a great movie. One of the best final lines of any comedy in my opinion

RedDave2

Oceans 8
Waste of a cast, dull for three quarters, Corden was the highlight?

poprock

No, Cate Blanchett’s outfits were the highlight. Those and Helena Bonham-Carter taking the utter piss. Shit film generally though.

Mary, Queen of Scots: Opulent and theatrical period piece that is so boring it ends up feeling about twice as long as it actually is. 5/10

Jumanji (1995): Even after two bottles of wine, it's safe to say I preferred this when I was seven. 4/10

Unlikely

Just back from watching The Front Runner at the cinema. First time I've been in about four years. Anyway, solid drama with excellent Jackmanning about a POTUS that never was.

Have you watched the new Jumanji? It's surprisingly OK.

Howdy, Stranger!
