What Films did You Watch Last Week (29/11 - 05/12)

Hi, Dark.

Here I am. .:biggrin::


Yours:

The Last Duel 8/10

Yep, I liked it. I liked all Ridley's medieval movies, actually. I liked Robin Hood too.

The Power of the Dog 8.5/10

Loved it, it took me a while to get into it, but then I really did. I actually wasn't expecting when it was going to end up.

The Damned United 8/10

I liked it, actually more than other Tom Hooper movies. Michael Sheen was really good.

No Time to Die 7.5/10

I actually liked it more than Sam Mendes' 007 movies. Not a big fan of the ending though. 

Broadcast News 8/10

I rememeber liking it, I saw it ages ago. I remember Jack Nicholson having a great cameo.

Dune (1984) 8/10

I did like it, even if it's messy. I haven't seen it in a while though. 


Mine:

The Hand of God 8/10

It's Paolo Sorrentino's new movie, it's autobiographical, it's about him as a teen in Naples in the 80s, his family, as Maradona is about to arrive to play for the city soccer team, Fellini is in town doing auditions for one of his movies, etc. I really liked it, it does feel too long, but there are moments that are really beautiful, it's very sensual, moving too. Especially when you realize it's also a homage to his parents. Toni Servillo, who plays hs father, is great. I liked the actress who playes his aunt too, Luisa Ranieri.

Hell Bound 8/10

It's a film noir from the 50s, kind of low budget, it's about a drug smuggling gang who come out with a plan that seems to be perfect, to steal drugs from a US government ship, but then things get messy. I liked it a lot, it has a very pulpy vibe, I wonder if Quentin Tarantino is a fan. I liked that the lead character is the villain and he's really ruthless. I liked the lead actress too, June Blair. She's really gorgeous. Her character seems a femme fatale at first, then she becomes something else, I think she really pulls it off.

Mogambo 7/10

It's a John Ford movie, with Clark Gable, Grace Kelly and Ava Gardner, it's about a love triangle in Africa between a hunter, a rich American girl, and another woman who's actually married. It's O.K., a bit dated, but it's fun. Love Ava Gardner.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles 7.5/10

It's John Hughes movie, with Steve Martin and John Candy, about two strangers trying to get back home for Thanksgiving. It's still pretty fun, both Steve Martin and John Candy are really good.
