I thought it was shocking, abysmal, but it did ok business so I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 27, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2018 Forgot to mention, the poem at the end of The Shape of Water did something to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I wondered at the time if that was written by Del Toro, or someone else. It wasn't credited to anyone else, as far as I remember. Your post prompted me to do a little research. It seems Del Toro himself says he read it in a book of Islamic poetry he read in a bookshop he frequented during filming. It seems the actual source though is from Saint Symeon's Divine Eros - perhaps unsurprisingly the intended subject of the verse if God, and was actually intended as a hymn rather than a poem. It certainly worked well as a footnote to the film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) I Tonya tonight Thought it was a great film and I never thought I’d be saying that about a film based on the life of an ice skater unless it was a biopic film about Chazz Michael Michaels ... The bodyguard steals the show but the mother runs him a close second , some good performances all round. I loved 3 Billboards but I think this has just knocked it off top spot for my current best film of 2018 list Edited February 28, 2018 by tonyh29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an absolute must see if you have any real interest in truly awful film making. It's a case study of genuinely funny and almost absurd incompetence. I'd recommend doing a double bill of it and The Disaster Artist (which i thought was superb) to anyone. Taking up this recommendation now. The Room is hilarious. The Disaster Artist will be tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted February 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2018 Just finished The Shape of Water. Thought it was excellent. Probably my film of the year, maybe tied with Billboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 The Ritual Finally managed to watch it and loved it from start to finish. Unsettling and unnerving at times. It had elements of Willow Creek, Stag Do and The Witch all rolled up into one quality film. Brilliant. Highly recommend it. 9/10. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 So just watching the original Point Break for the first time in years. Not connected the dots before, but just noticed that the first Fast and Furious film is pretty much the same film but with a different sport. It follows the exact same sequence.... agent gets in with bad guys after falling in love with the woman of the group. Has something to prove to the leader but gets on his side. With the leader fights another group and then thinks it must be them. Works out it’s the leader all along. Has the chance to arrest him but let’s him go...

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I was going to give I, Tonya a miss but might give it a go instead of game night this weekend considering pretty universal praise here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Lady Bird is lovely. Coming of age story with Sairse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf both particularly good and Lucas Hedges young man is very tender. Not sure it's worth all the hype as there are other really good tales of growing up that at least match this but the performances are all strong and all of the supporting characters have something to them which is good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw it last night, very funny, it's a shame that all she's remembered for is the Nancy Kerrigan incident because, boy, could she skate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
