What was the last film you watched?

[Richard Channing]

I like the sound of this. Kidman and Farrell both starred in the remake of the Beguiled, but I didn't like that as much as the original. Nothing to do with their performances though. More the directors choices. I think I will try and see this.

It's on the channel4 iPlayer at the moment.

 

[Swami]

Creed II.

[Alexis]

A Breath of Scandal
With Sophia Loren and my John Gavin. It's not great, more a little bit of a fluff piece. John is adorable as always and Sophia behaves just as we all would if he knocked us off our horse. @Willie Oleson might like this one? I don't know?

Part 2 is also on Dailymotion.

 

[Werewillie Oleson]

Not a Snow White version.

It's a stupid cheesy movie, and yet there's something about it that makes it one of the better stupid cheesy movies.
The score and sound effects are pretty amazing. I didn't remember the final twist, so that was a nice surprise (again).

 

[Sea - Boo! - Er]

Armageddon

Cliche-ridden, woodenly acted, scientifically dubious disaster movie, but gosh-darnit if the closing scenes don't bring a tear to the eye. Great song by Aerosmith, too.

 

[Edie70]

The Age of Innocence (1993)

 

[Justine]

American Son on Netflix-

Predictable but so culturally relevant and visceral. It reminded me somewhat of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

 

[Spells & Karma]

The Woman In Black (2012)

My second time watching and I enjoyed it almost as much as the first time (some five or six years ago).

It straddles the line between schlocky cheap ghost train jumps and genuinely creepy atmosphere. It's kind of like The Haunting meets What Lies Beneath meets William Castle. Fortunately, the atmospheric stuff - all long shadows in passageways, flickering lights and gloomy, forbidding rooms - comes out on top and makes it very watchable indeed. And very unsettling as well. It's one of those films where I have to make sure the curtains are closed because that feeling of being watched gets into the psyche.

Much of the delivery and phrasing is too modern for the period setting, Daniel Radcliffe's contemporary RP perhaps most of all. But he seems a nice young man, so all's forgiven.​

[Rove]

The (new) Lion King
​

I had heard critics were somewhat harsh on this movie. The Live-Action was jaw-dropping but I felt it lacked heart. It was like Disney were afraid to show too much darkness in fear of placing children on psychiatrists waiting lists.

 

[Sea - Boo! - Er]

Government Girl

1943 rom-com starring Olivia de Havilland. The rules of the rom-com have changed surprisingly little in the past eighty years.

 

[Werewillie Oleson]

This was so much better than it should have been. A very nice surprise!

Frozen (the first one)

I don't really see why it's so popular but it is an enjoyable princess-as-hero adventure.

 

[cardiff1984]

IT. Chapter 1.

Wouldn't want to watch this movie in the dark first watch. More jumpy and gruesome, than Stephen Kings 1990 3 hour TV movie.

Yet to watch chapter 2. I wonder what's in store?

 

[Sea - Boo! - Er]

Hope Floats (1998)

I've always liked Sandra Bullock and it's nice to see how she's expanded her range through action, comedy and drama and developed into the Oscar winner she is now. Here she was also a producer.

 

[Angela Chilling]

Yet to watch chapter 2. I wonder what's in store?

A disappointment, at least for me. Not a patch on the first film, in my humble opinion.
