Spectre is already out?DRuM wrote:Spectre 7/10
Decent enough, but underwhelming and predictable.
I'd not watched any Daniel Craig 007 movies, so Wednesday and yesterday I crammed in Casino, Quantum and Skyfall, and then went to see Spectre last night. I'm all Bonded out!
SPECTRE release date here is 12/11/2015 and that is 12 Novembervesp wrote:4 days ago (UK)
if you're US I think it's out next friday
and I am looking forward to it.
Rob Bottin (Botine, Bottine) should have won an oscar for the defibrilator/chest/spider-head scene. It is one of the most iconic practical efftecs scenes in history on par if not better executed than the mutation on American Werewolve and everything Harryhausen did.phantasmagoria wrote:Saw the original The Thing on 70mm at the cinema last night. The print had lost its blue hues a bit so it was all quite a lot more more pink than it should have been, but that aside the actual definition was absolutely great and the sound? holy fuck
They don't make 'em like that anymore. What a film.
It's taking me a long time to watch this--I'm not sure why. I've finished half of it. Will watch the rest some other day.Ryoki wrote:Beasts of No Nation 9/10
Straight to stream this one, which would suggest it shouldn't be much good perhaps. Fortunately it's actually damn good - the best war movie i've seen in at least a few years. Liked the acting, liked the plot, liked almost everything about it really. And some shots (there's one at the end for instance, where the main character slouches through a thrench system to get ammo for the machine gun, cigarette dangling from his lips, a helmet that's too big for his twelve year old head) are just superbly done and very memorable... excellent, excellent stuff.
Pretty much the only complaint i can think of is the at times ridiculous sounding African English, just use some native language or even French or whatever.
The role of the Russian spy is done very well by Mark Rylanc and of course Toms Hanks always does a top job.During the Cold War, an American lawyer is recruited to defend an arrested Soviet spy in court, and then help the CIA facilitate an exchange of the spy for the Soviet captured American U2 spy plane pilot, Francis Gary Powers. ... Tom Hanks, Mark Rylance, Alan Alda.
The start was a little slow but it built interest as it progressed.Based on the events of the brutal Ugandan dictator Idi Amin's regime as seen by his personal physician during the 1970s
