Top daft fun film A film that I think misses a trick in being watered down and sanitised for global audiences. A 15 rated version of that film would have been far more fun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it was a love letter to Spielberg but it threw in enough horror elements to just keep it out of the PG or 12 rating. It was a bit of a slow burner to start with but I wasn't bored for a single second and really enjoyed all of it. You are right about the story strands that don't add much at all, did make me laugh though as I was walking out someone said "what was the deal with the **** monkey" I think that todays audience want to be spoon fed stuff rather than having to think about anything at all once they have finished it. Jordan Peele isn't perfect but all 3 of his films to date have been highly enjoyable for me. didn't know this was already out. keen to see it as absolutely loved get out didn't even know he has a 3rd film so have to check that out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big, daft, nonsense film for which suspension of disbelief is paramount. Possibly 20 minutes too long but a whole heap of fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Yeah just watched Bullet Train now. Great fun. Nonsense, but fun and yet another addition to the successful canon of violence / pursuit set on a train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Les Vampires (Louis Feuillade) - Hard to follow at times, but great in many ways, has an otherwordly feel, and I don't that's just because it's over 100 years old. Irma Vep 2022 (Olivier Assayas) - Enjoyed it, reminded me in some ways of Jacques Rivett film, being about film making, and fantasy and reality blurring together. Juliet Dans Paris (Claude Miller) - Juliet Berto namechecked in the above, so Rivette link not an accident, Phantom Lady Over Paris, she had good presence in this.

theunderstudy Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Watched Dunkirk on Prime tonight, definitely do enjoy it. Nearly followed it up with the Poseidon Adventure but thought two water related films might be a bit too much. Going to watch Edge of Tomorrow again instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted August 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2022 Watching this one again. Amazed hardly anyone has heard of it as it has a great cast and is very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Thought I would watch the "True Grit" remake again. So much better than the John Wayne version, imo. I think Pauline Kael was spot - on when describing Geoff Bridges "as the most natural and least self - conscious screen actor who ever lived". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very Python like in it's humour and has Pegg and Robin Williams adding their styles as well. I've recommended it to several people who've all enjoyed it (all open enough to tell me if they didn't). Plus Beckinsale is always worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to watch Edge of Tomorrow again instead I like Edge of Tomorrow, but with perhaps an alternative ending (not sure)? Is it an underrated film, possibly? Certainly an enjoyable sci-fi/action flick for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably helped that I knew almost nothing about him beyond the bare minimum. I assume a lot of the film is exaggerated but it made it very interesting for me. I watched Elvis last night and enjoyed it. It did occur to me that it’s 2.5 hours long but barely goes into anything in detail. They probably could make 5 or 6 movies of that length and still be light on detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave it a go when it first came out despite the general consensus that it was a dumpster fire because I like Pegg and Python, but I found it desperately unfunny and a pale imitation of Bruce Almighty. Definitely the worst film I saw that year. Disappointing considering the talent involved but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted August 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2022 Thanks to @sne for bringing this one to my attention. Thought it was a really well put together movie with an inventive, orginal story. The main four kids, none of whom had acted before are phenomenal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got some good reviews too, which for a horror sequel/prequel is pretty rare. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about the Guy Ritchie comparison but I like his earlier stuff, thought Bullet Train was good and Pitt is always worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
