If memory serves, the feeling he had was that he liked banging his aunt and had been doing it for years with no sense of remorse or regret. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Just watched 21 Bridges (Prime) - God Chadwick Boseman is good. Cinema lost a good one early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 First Matrix was awesome, second terrible and never watched third. Fourth looks very much like they are trying to remake the first. Will probably watch… However, in the interim, could anyone give a quick synopsis of the third? As I’m guessing it’s a follow on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the opening theme tune onwards, I can go through every emotion watching it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he handled the whole cancer thing was just unbelievable. Not an ounce of self - pity. And to think he gave so many wonderful performances whilst suffering with that dreadful disease, he really was something else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Annette what the **** is this? A mental operatic tragi-melodrama musical starring a baby puppet. Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard... what are you doing? 2.5hrs long. Christ that is time I'm never getting back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I went to see Candyman last week, I felt like it was a film that wasn't really needed but in the times of the soft reboot its not all that surprising, especially when you consider how relevant the politics are all these years after the original. Initially I came out of the cinema and though "well that was a bit shit" but once I had the chance to process it I think that I would probably enjoy it a lot more on a second viewing. The opening soundtrack was amazing and really got my hopes up at the beginning of the film, the acting was pretty solid, the politics were in your face but not rammed down your throat, the kills were suitably gory and they were respectful of the original. Where the film fell down was with Candyman himself, they were in an unwinnable position because Tony Todd was so iconic in the role that replacing him would have had fans of the original spitting feathers unless he pulled out a Heath Ledger/Dark Knight performance, instead of directly replacing him they focused more on the lore and while Candyman is seen throughout the film, he doesn't have a presence he doesn't have a personality, it seems like he is just a vehicle to make the film happen rather than being the actual reason that the film happens. They expand on the Lore and history of Candyman, I don't think it was necessary to dedicate quite so much of the film to this, you have a real slow burner for the first 70 minutes and then it was as if they thought "oh Christ, we need to get this finished" and bang the ending completely shifts the tone, goes batshit crazy and felt a little bit rushed in all fairness. I'd give it a 5.5 or 6 out of 10 but I would probably revise that on a second viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Off to see this in a few hours, I don't know anything about it other than there are some murders and a bird had an imaginary friend as a kid (who I assume she believes is killing these people) Its a return to the horror genre for James Wan given his track record I'm looking forward to this one, I am hoping he changes it up a little bit though, we don't need another Insidious/Conjuring film. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a complete tonal shift from Wans previous horror work, I agree with @Designer1 it was great fun, I don't think it'll have anywhere near the same sort of fan base that The Conjuring has but there is every chance it will gain a good strong cult following. The intro felt like something straight out of Stranger Things and then moves into the classic haunted house/possession style horror (complete with the weird jerky moving shadow monster) that we all know and love and then it completely shifts again into a bad slasher from the late 90's (and I mean that in the best possible way) Some of the shots were brilliant, I really got some Amityville/The Entity vibes at times, there was a great shot when she was walking from room to room and the camera was following from above, I thought that looked great. The acting was pretty hammy at times and so was the script but it kind of felt intentional, again going back to the Mimic/Cherry Falls type era. The story wasn't anything special and didn't provide any shocks and you'll probably have an idea of where the final act is going but the delivery was brilliant. Spoiler It was basically Edward Mordrake on crack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
