Genie Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I watched “A Quiet Place” last night. Never before have I watched a film with so many holes in the plot and behaviour of the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big one for me, they always left their home doors open. They do other things during their day that makes a bit of noise… but they still felt closing the doors quietly to keep the monsters out was a bit risky I’m really surprised it scored 7.5 on IMDB.

It's a great movie, but you do have to overlook the plotholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s well made for sure, but I just couldn’t get past the holes in it. Why the father in particular wasn’t so bothered about not knowing where the kids were. Why they didn’t close the doors, how they had electricity, why the children sank in the grain then when the monster arrived didn’t sink anymore… Many others that were front and centre and made it impossible to ignore them.

villa4europe Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Watched the batman, its good and worth a watch, loved what they did with the penguin, the story in general is decent, him who played batman was fine, looks good, script acting etc all fine, dani was great still got that DC overly moody and depressing feel to it though even if they nailed the music in it (which other dc films get horribly wrong) I loved how they did the bond-esque stealing of chords from the main song to feed in to the rest of the soundtrack, nirvana* is all over it and it really works I'd say its flirting with the Nolan films but falls just short of the dark Knight, that's not bad going at all *I'm not a nirvana fan, heard something in the way for the first time ever about 2 months ago on another film / show and like it so it's weird that it's now in this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted January 12, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2023 Finally got around to watching Legend (the Hardy one). Really enjoyed it. Funny and ticks along very nicely. The old man isn't a big film watcher but he laughed out loud a few times at Ronnie's antics ("f**king sing"). Hardy was brilliant as usual.

Chindie Posted January 13, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2023 Watched The Menu earlier. A brilliant little pitch black cynical comedy/horror. Watch it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I watched Braveheart again last night. Putting aside Mel's dodgy accent, it's still one of the great uplifting films you will see, imo. I also loved Patrick McGoohan as Longshanks, "The trouble with Scotland is it's full of Scots." Great line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a number 3 in the works confirmed by Paramount too. Edited January 13, 2023 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 2 pushes what they get away with a bit further, the film establishes boundaries and then over steps them but because I like the setting and the boundaries that it created Im OK with them doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All about opinions but I genuinely wonder how Hardy gets work , I've seen better range and emotion from a packet of Twiglets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's outstanding in that. Very good in The Take, The Revenant, Bronson and Warrior too. His performance as Ron in Legend was like something from an episode of Little Britain though. Completely spoils that movie for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also somehow makes Locke an interesting watch. He doesn't take the easy way out with his roles. If anything, I'd say he's braver with his range than many in Hollywood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
