Not sure I can sit in a cinema for that long. It flew by for me tbh. I didnt even have my usual mid movie piss I was so invested 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @theboyangel says, he gave his usual excellent performance, although i would have liked to have seen him given a little bit more screentime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted October 25, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 25, 2023 Just back from... It was OK, a decent bit of entertainment which I'm sure fans of the game will get a bit more mileage from. I did love those animatronic effects though - they nailed that.

Designer1 Posted October 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 28, 2023 If you're a horror fan (sorry Mike ) then you will NOT see many better examples of the genre this year than this absolute belter from Argentina: Brilliantly written and directed with top notch acting. Some genuinely 'oh my **** god!' moments as the nihilistic dread slowly builds to a satisfying final act. Showing on Shudder now and highly recommended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pongo Waring Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 That new David Fincher film is on Netflix now. Think it's called the killer but I could be wrong. Anyone seen it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone seen it? It’s got a decent review in Empire (subjective to the reviewer but a good indicator nonetheless!) I don’t think Fassbender has been in anything for a few years now so good to see him back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put this on for a mindless 90 minutes (at least I'm hoping its 90 minutes) I know absolutely nothing about Five Nights at Freddy's apart from there is a killer bear called Springtrap, and I only know that because I play Dead By Daylight and the community have been pretty much campaigning for a FNAF chapter for years.

sne Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 This one was pretty decent. Always nice to watch horror-ish movies that doesn't come from Hollywood as they are not as easy to predict where it will go. Wasn't really a horror movie but worth the watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Made the mistake of renting the latest rise of the footsoldier film, called vengeance. Now the original film and possibly the next two were decent and I do like a geezer movie but honestly I should've known better. Same old, same old content.....i mean, i was more expecting Dave Courtney to pop up demanding a FEB than any of the actors giving a Larry Olivier award winning performance but....it was rubbish. Based on a real life criminal Pat Tate who is played by Craig Fairbrass I sat there thinking that the real Tate was killed in his 30s and here we have Fairbrass who is almost 60 still playing the character despite looking too old "in the boat" to be a geezer in his mid or late 30s. Without giving too much away ( I hope) the ending makes sure there'll be another one in the pipeline and no doubt it'll be full of drugs, gangsters, slags, proppa nawty geezers, shooters and and so on. I'd avoid it if I were you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted October 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2023 So do we think this Snow White film is going to be worth the ball ache it has seemingly been for Disney - either artistically or financially worthwhile? When I’m on the Google home page, the film often appears in the search box as a trending item, so I pick up little bits about it here and there. Feels like it’s been going on for ages. I wonder whether the sheer amount of scrutiny it’s had will ultimately benefit it. My untrained vibe with all these Disney remakes is that there’s been a general shrug of the shoulders reception to them. Some better than others, but they don’t appear to be stopping any traffic with their releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2023 Disney's live action remakes have mostly been successful, financially, some quite significantly so. Multiple of the films made over a billion. But thats not really all the remakes are about. They're partly just Disney trying to capitalise on their IP. They've got these movies that are 30 to 80, 90 years old that they don't do anything with, which in the current Hollywood regime is just leaving money on the table. You use your IP. And secondly it's about reaffirming that IP. Anyone can go make Pinocchio movie, but Disney wants to ensure that their particular take on the tale, and anything near it as far as art direction etc, is protected. Some of those older movies are getting to the point where people might start pushing the Disney version as a generic version of the character, which would mean Disney's claim to them is undermined and possibly outright made redundant. So making a very, very, very similar movie take in live action will let them 'renew' the IP as far as they're concerned. Never underestimate how far Disney will go to protect its property. They already have been leaning on US legislators about amending copyright and IP protection laws for many years, just over the fear of them losing control of Mickey Mouse as a character.

Indeed, the Steamboat Mickey version of Mickey Mouse becomes public domain in the UK next year with a slew of other Disney characters in relatively quick succession afterwards.

Side stepping what they've done with snow white, in general they just lack charm, Sebastian is made in to a real life looking crab (kind of...) and loses a ton of his character, that's what these films miss Lion king was OK and technically pretty damn good, mulan was alright Not seen one yet where it was better than the original, most aren't even half as good even though its the exact same story and songs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it’s the same story but somehow the running time is 30 minutes longer than the original. I remember the reaction to it at the time being very indifferent. But yeah, a billion at the box office, so they probably don’t care too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 This talk of Disney ties slightly in with my thoughts after the weekend at Disney Paris. Merchandising. They only seem to sell tat relating to a relatively small handful of films and/or characters. Not sure why but a ridiculous amount of Lilo and Stitch tat, Star wars, Toy Story, Nightmare before Christmas etc. They dont seem to acknowledge to any real degree films like Aristocats, Pinnochio, Up, Tangled, Brave, even Monsters Inc etc. I wonder if its rotational. 2023 might see a whole load of Lilo and Stitch stuff, next year may be Moana.
