villa4europe Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Blue Story I thought it was good, good young cast, obviously cheaply put together but not to its detriment, the "real" footage was cool and they should have used more of it, I liked the rapman narration stuff but I'm not sure if that lead to its biggest problem, it's 90 mins long and felt under developed, top boy obviously has time to breath but I'd day kidulthood has far better written characters and does a better job of establishing normality, this could have done with some more scenes of the older guys influencing them negatively, especially switcher Michael Ward is the real deal, need to watch small axe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disaster movie by numbers. Hence posting on VT. In all fairness Mike how do you expect an extinction event via asteroids to pan out in a film, you could argue that there would be one big lump at the start that kills the planet which would not make much of a film and people slightly feeling cheated out of their admission fee unless it ended with FIN which would placate a few like Bicks or Hanoi or that Polish oddity. However I sincerely hope that should an event of this ever type occur I will be viewing VT to gauge your boredom when a lump lands next to you, Selfishly my thoughts wander that such an event might hit my missus Edited February 6, 2021 by Follyfoot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 The Nightingale started off very well (albeit hard/harrowing viewing) but fizzled out as it went on. Not bad but not brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I wanted it to so was a little blinkered. I think it just dragged on too long with a lot of meandering in the second half of the story. It was alright but wouldn't rush to.watch it again. I preferred the director's previous film, the Babadook, which did.capture my attention throughout (and kept.me.thinking.about it afterward) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree it usually doesn't work but then I thought of Bowfinger and it's a notable contradiction because it really is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works well in some and not so well in others. Re. Coming 2 America. It should have been left well alone and I hope he doesn't undo a lot of the goodwill he's gained from Dolomite which was excellent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rubbish Kung Fu scene at the end is one of the silliest funniest things I've ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife says this better not be another Bowfinger. On release as I liked the leads I talked her into watching it. It was very bad and ever since its been held against me.

Chubby Rain might be bad but Bowfinger is great. Or at least my memory is of finding it funny, and I don’t plan to tarnish that by revisiting it.
