Holden McGroin 4811 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Cloverfield Paradox. Errrr, i strangely enjoyed the atmosphere and acting but the script was a shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wanting to give any spoilers but I'm not really sure what they're doing trying to make a series of these films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooner 243 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Suburbicon- thought it was very well done, Coen Bros. never disappoint. The only bad thing I could say, was that the trailer had DJ Shadow's song Nobody Speak, but sadly the song didn't feature in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Darkest Hour I didn’t know how close we’d come to entering into surrender / peace negotiations prior to Dunkirk or just how on his own Churchill was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19736 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The shape of water. What an odd premise. I’d be amazed if it cleans up at the oscars, despite having the most nominations. Too bizarre for the Academy’s tastes, surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34166 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I turned the Cloverfield Paradox off after about 40 minutes. Absolute shite with B-movie level acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its down to terrible writing/research, its a multi-verse literally everything can/will happen, could have been awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4949 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I sat through the whole thing - didn't improve and was a let down. Fucking bizarre trying to pull it into some kind of alignment with the original Cloverfield which it patently wasn't written to have anything to do with.

Fucking bizarre trying to pull it into some kind of alignment with the original Cloverfield which it patently wasn't written to have anything to do with. I don't think 10 Cloverfield Lane was written that way either but I thought that worked really well. Apart from the fact that name of the film gave away whether Goodman's character was just a loon or whether his claims were true. I really liked it either way mind. I went to see The 15:17 to Paris last night which is the new film from Clint Eastwood about the attempted terrorist attack on a train headed for Paris which was foiled by (mainly) three American tourists, two of which were off duty military. The three real guys play themselves in the film rather than using actors. Unfortunately this is one of a couple of reasons why the film doesn't work. Instead of it coming across more real, it just shows them up as really bad actors. The other main reason is that the whole attempted attack lasts about ten minutes so for the rest of the film you have a pretty uninteresting story of the three guys meeting in childhood and them growing up and then taking a trip round Europe which eventually leads to them being on the train from Amsterdam to Paris. The guys (as well as one or two other who get short changed) are certainly heroes that prevented many deaths but unfortunately there's not enough in their story to last 94 minutes.

No idea what this film's about, haven't seen any trailers or anything but if anything would make me consider giving it a chance this post probably would.

David Kelly 1115 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Both really good but Three Billboards is comfortably better. Jusr watched Mute the new film from Bowie jr. Poor which is a big disappointment given how much I liked Moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
