Its not particularly good the poster is the best thing about the film, the director and the cast is the main reason I watched it. The movie is currently on Amazon Prime Instant Video (UK)
Quite late on this one, but I thought it was a very effective horror film. I loved how the dialogue was pretty much straight from the 1600s, and not our modern day language. The focus on the destruction of the family I found very impactful. Anya Taylor-Joy is a star! Really looking forward to Robert Eggers second film The Lighthouse which I think is released soon, if not is out now.
Personally, I found The Lighthouse to be far superior of the two. The Witch was okay, but quite a good deal overhyped. The Lighthouse was awesome - one of my favorite horror films ever. Just my own opinion anyway.
The SAW series made the same mistake. All of these retcons are worthless. It's soap opera writing at that point. Everything has to be interconnected. During a first and second film, the storytellers want to build an expansive universe. Then, suddenly, they decide to narrow it down again by syphoning everything that's happened down to one single culprit. Terrible!
It just feels so cheap and unearned when it happens. Luckily the other films are very good in the Scream series; 4 particularly redeems it for me since the villain is unique with unique motives. They totally ignored the events of 3 more or less which was good.
For me Lynch's last really good film. The barmy plot has Bill Pullman suffering a 'psychogenic fugue' and changing into a different person while on death row. What follows is as mad as a bottle of wasps, but it's a creepy, haunting film with gorgeous photography and that 'Lynch' sound.
A good cast. Pullman is suitably intense as the troubled Sax player, as is Balthazar Getty who is a dead ringer for Charlie Sheen in this.
There is a bloody creepy cameo from Robert Blake, but best of all is Patricia Arquette effectively playing two different mysterious and sultry parts.
Really cool soundtrack to this as well.
Oh yes, he is amazingly devillish there. Billed as "Mystery Man".
He has one creepy laugh that's for sure!
The Torture Garden : Nice little horror movie from Amicus;
Ukradená vzducholoď (The Stolen Dirigible : a very good Karel Zeman movie, where Captain Nemo himself makes an appearance.
Dracula, Prince of Darkness : There's no doubt about it : Sir Christopher is and will always be my Dracula. BTW : Charles and Diana ? Prophetic or what ?
And last, but certainly not least, Spirited Away, another Hayao Miyazaki masterpiece.
Add to that the last three episodes of Raumpatrouille Orion, and some ten episodes of K-9 (the Doctor Who unofficial spin-off), and you'll see that I had a very busy viewing schedule.
Brilliant, allegorical, trippy French-Czech animated feature. I call it the Zardoz of animated films.
I'll be seeing Doctor Sleep (2019) Tuesday. I'm setting my expectations low, especially in comparison to The Shining, but hopefully it's a decent film.
Well, what can I say... Phoenix was brilliant, is brilliant and will always be brilliant.
How much of it comes out of his delusional mind? we'll never know for sure, apart from the meetings with that black girl.
It's also closer to the comics than I thought it was going to be. (Killing Joke, The Dark Knight Returns, Batman Beyond)
Don't forget: people who have suffered throughout their youth should not be ignored...
I re-watched The Shining on Friday and saw Doctor Sleep on Saturday. It's a completely different beast, a bit on the nose at times, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
Ewan is pretty good in almost everything he's in imho.
P.S.: What's with Fox's giant canvases of female anatomy in his house? Haha!
Man Of Steel I like it.
Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice - Ultimate Edition Below average.
Suicide Squad - Extended Edition Just complete GARBAGE.
Wonder Woman I actually ADORED EVERY MINUTE of this movie. Best film out of this lot, easily.
Justice League Juvenile, pathetic dog.
Two out of five batting average, there. Aquaman and Shazam evened out the DC scores for me.
Yeah. We're going to be looking at those two this weekend. Be the first time I've watched them since cinema - so I'm looking forward to it
Have to say I absolutely loved this one, basically what made the film for me without question was the humour once the lead character was in prisoned along with the other military prisoners. :)) :-bd
The stand-in actors for Jack and Wendy were necessary, but no replacement for Nicholson or Duvall. Still a better alternative to CGI. Carl Lumbly was spot-on as Dick Hallorann; his scenes were some of the best. There was no way The Shining was going to be topped, and though I have a couple issues with the film, it does a very admirable, respectful job at following it up. Reminds me a bit of Blade Runner 2049 as a very good sequel to come out years later (better than most other sequels), even though inferior to the original.
Last night I went to see Ford v Ferrari. Fantastic film. Great performances from Matt Damon & Christian Bale, expertly crafted racing-scenes and a very fast paced film (2.5 hours runtime that felt no longer than 2 hours). I really appreciated that the film was less about the Americans conquering a legendary European race against a legendary Italian car brand, but more about Carroll Shelby (Damon) & Ken Miles (Bale) teaming up to take down both Ferrari & the annoying Ford bureaucracy. It made for a much more compelling underdog story to have 2 characters go up against 2 automotive giants (one of which they worked for, but their bosses did everything in their powers to interfere with their plans). This film will definitely end up in my top 5 of 2019.
One of my favorites. Bale is fantastic in it and I love the nightmarishly dark and twisted comedy the film exudes.
The satire aspect was excellent. It played with some interesting themes.
