Last Film You Watched


Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)

I have always absolutely adored this film. Carey's breakout film is arguably still his funniest. The physical humour and energy he brings to his character is off the scale. It just doesn't age.

This will always be a 10/10.

I`ve looked at this and wasn`t sure ?

It sounds very good, but the reviews are very mixed ?

The reviews for pretty much all of his film/shows are mixed apart from Drive really.

I just enjoy the aesthetics of his stuff, Im not really fussed if there is a lack of story

His Copenhagen gang films (the pusher trilogy) are really good too.

This seems to be Inbetween his more recent work and them

Good : The cinematography. Theres a vibrant colour and texture to every shot. The production and costume design. The brilliantly detailed sets and the clothing match in palette and paint the period beautifully. Adam Driver and Raffey Cassidy are magnetic.

Bad : Literally everthing else. Terrible script, bizarre dialogue overlapping with non-sensical situations. Greta Gerwig is bewildered, Andre 3000 underused and the musical number is probably a by-product of having such an expensive 1980’s supermarket than a creative decision.

Could have been amazing if it decided what it was. Theres some great horror / creeping dread going on but it pulls it all apart with a weak 3rd act, and ultimately wastes everyones time and about $100 million.

Watched it last night and I agree with everything you’ve said there.

It’s like they were trying to “ out Cohen, the Cohen brothers “

Could’ve been great, but instead, it’s a big, rambling mess.

Adam Driver is a talent though.
 
Finally saw the Banshees of Inisherin (realise it's been out for ages) - great film, like that even needs saying as everything about it is obvious quality. I didn't realise Colin Farrell was at that level tbh. State choir of Bulgaria on the sound track - tunes.

No spoilers, but the fingers - I don't think it really works. It's very creative and memorable and prob the film needed something along those lines, but it's too big and crazy a metaphor imho.

I sat through the whole movie hoping that at some point it would switch up a gear.

Nope... Swerve.

I agree mate!

Absolutely amazing.
For those of you who haven't seen it, It's nothing like 'In Bruges', yet it's equally as good!


You haven't seen any of David Lynch's other movies have you?

Mulholland Drive was also messed up!

I’ve seen a few of them mate, rinse and repeat with strangeness although Eraserhead is his apex of all that is patience testing weird.

My opinion of Colin Farrell changed completely after watching him in the drama - North Water.

He`s a very fine actor, when given the right role and script.

Don't do it to yourself mate! I can confirm that the movie gets worse as it goes on!

How bad? I don't even remember how the story ends. ?

If you want a good evening out Medieval style, might I recommend this for your viewing old chap:

Not bad.. And Paul Giamatti takes an excellent part as the ruthless King John.
