Yikes D, some mental calls there. Loved Nightcrawler and A Quiet Place, though I imagine the latter is far more effective in the cinema

Didn’t like nightcrawler at all. More to do with personal preference than anything else. Can see why some people really like it.

I think Nightcrawler is a cracking film, 7.5/8 out of 10 all day long for me.

hiya prevster!

Nightcrawler was predictable from the very off, so either you liked the atmosphere/performance...or in my case not.

Quiet Place cast were too stupid, even for horror films, to make me willingly suspend disbelief in the story. monsters were ripoffs, too. and then the ill-fitting dramatic music...

but as jimmy says it's all personal prefs, innit. my favourite horror is maybe disliked by those who enjoy Quiet Place: the found footage subgenre which is oft-maligned.

Smashin this, fascinating story using the labours of the inventors to tell the tale of their creation, subtle compelling performances across the board,, innovative and surprising camera work and direction, excellent soundtrack and world building Ridley Scott would be proud of. Pure, crafted cinema.

Superb.

Contagion, seemed relevant.

Not too bad a film,the story line has been done in various guises in plenty of other films,but still worth 90 minutes of lockdown

Got round to watching Bacurau, a few hours before it vanished from Mubi last night. Have to say that, after hearing so many good things about it, it didn't do very much for me. Takes a long time to get going, then fizzles out just as it's picking up. Had a few good moments, but I suspect it may be best enjoyed with an audience at a late-night festival screening, or similar.

I enjoyed it. I'd skipped past it on Netflix loads of times but gave it a go finally and it was decent. The Town is very good on Netflix too. Another film I skipped past loads.

I did enjoy The Gentleman.
Particularly Hugh Grants slimey reporter character.
(and the Homage scene to the Long Good Friday.

Watching Red River atm, half way through, felt in the mood for a good old western.

Is that the one with John Wayne and Montgomery Clift?
Wayne wasn't too keen on him on account of him being Benghazi

Cardboard Gangsters on Netflix.
Low level Dublin drug dealers (needs sub titles on) with a decent twist at the end

Yeah, I had a quick look at the reviews this morning, it got a bit of a kicking, quite unfairly I think.
