Welcome back to another week of the BEST & WORST edition of 'what movies did you see last week?' thread. For those who haven't been part of it before, basically your hosts (us) posts our weekly movies and you can comment on those and list your movie for the same time frame. We will get back to you on yours and you can talk to other users here about their films. It's a great place to talk about film. FIRST TIME MOVIE VIEWING
You Were Never Really Here (2018, Lynn Ramsey)
In this oddly meditative film Joaquin Phoenix (Irrational Man) plays a traumatized veteran, unafraid of violence, tracks down missing girls for a living. The film built and grew on me through out and after early concerns I really enjoyed it. It turned the usual narrative for this kind of film on its head in an interesting way. 7.5/10 The Onion Field (1979, Harold Becker)
This film is based on the true case of an LA police officer who is murdered in the onion fields outside of Bakersfield in the 1960's. It has a great cast and acting but loses a little steam after the excellent first half. Also of note is that it is Ted Danson’s (Body Heat) feature debut. 6.5/10 Morgan (2016, Luke Scott) tv
In this violent little film a corporate risk-management consultant must decide whether or not to terminate an artificially created humanoid being. played by Anya Taylor-Joy (Split, Thoroughbreds) who is surely becoming a favourite of mine. The film has a few fun twists and is an easy watch. 6/10 Roar (1981, Noel Marshall)
Roar became notorious for its troubled 11-year production, which resulted in 70 members of its cast and crew being injured by the many predatory animals used in the film, including its main stars sustaining life-threatening injuries ranging from bone fractures to scalpings and gangrene. Much of the footage capturing the injuries was included in the final cut of the film, resulting in real blood on screen. It has been considered the most dangerous film shoot in history. Noel Marshall (Executive producer on The Exorcist) wrote, directed, co-produced and starred in this wild film, which also featured his then-wife Tippi Hedren (The Birds), stepdaughter Melanie Griffith (Cherry 2000), and his sons, John and Jerry, from a previous marriage. The film does not have too much of a story but is pretty crazy to watch as the actors interact with 100's of un trained lions, tigers and cheetahs as they try an go about their scenes with many of the real life injuries and blood making it onto the screen. The dialogue, acting and story are all pretty terrible but the scenery is stunning and the situation so absurd that it is still compelling to watch at least once. These factors make it hard to score, as it is a bad film but still unique in its presentation and perhaps essential viewing for this reason. 4/10REPEAT MOVIE VIEWING
Punch-Drunk Love (2002, Paul Thomas Anderson) blu ray
This stunning smaller film was written with Sandler in mind and shows that when he is not in charge of a production he can be very good. The film has beautiful colours, great scenes, fun characters from a great cast (with many PTA regulars) and a superb score. 8/10 Arbitrage (2012, Nicholas Jarecki) tvThis is a compelling and well written tale of a troubled hedge fund magnate (Richard Gere) desperate to complete the sale of his trading empire makes an error that forces him to turn to an unlikely person for help. Great cast and acting elevate this taut film even further and I really enjoyed this again. 7.5/10 Peggy Sue Got Married (1986, Francis Ford Coppola) tv
People always think of Coppola for his amazing run in the 1970's but he had some memorable films in both the 80's and 90's. Such is the case here with this overlooked film where Peggy Sue (Kathleen Turner)faints at a high school reunion. When she wakes up, she finds herself in her own past, just before she finished school. The film is very well made with a good script and I definitely liked it more on this third viewing than ever before. My main problem is still Nicolas Cage who has a sizeable role whose strange take just does not work in this film. The rest of the cast are great and look out for a pre-fame Jim Carrey in a supporting role. 6.5/10 F/X (1986, Robert Mandel) tv
Fun action thriller that pits a special effects guru (Bryan Brown) against some bad people who want him silenced. 6.5/10 F/X2 (1991, Richard Franklin) tv
Reasonable sequel that pushes credibility a little far some times but at sch a pace you barely have time to think about it. 6/10 The Gate (1987, Tibor Takacs)blu rayThis 80's family adventure horror pits young kids (including a young Stephen Dorff) and teenagers against the demons from a hell gate opened by accident in their backyard. It is a pretty fun film with a great atmosphere. The short comings are in the script which is both thin and a mess if that makes any sense. However where it shines is the awesome practical effects which are inventive and memorable. This was a consistent rental for me in the school holidays as a child but it didn't quite live up to my memory and whilst still impressive in many ways has dropped a couple of points. 6/10 Rambo III (1988, Peter Macdinald) tv
I had only seen this one before in about 1990 and had both a poor recollection and impression of it. It ended up being a little better than I remembered but still not a good film. It is probably on about the same level as the over loved second chapter. 5/10 WEEKLY AWARDS
BEST FILM: Punch-Drunk Love BEST ACTOR: Adam Sandler - Punch-Drunk Love BEST ACTRESS: Kathleen Turner - Peggy Sue Got Married BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Nate Parker - Arbitrage BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Brit Marling - Arbitrage BEST SCORE: John Brion - Punch-Drunk Love BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY: Robert Elswit - Punch-Drunk Love BEST SCRIPT: Nicholas Jarecki - Arbitrage BEST SPECIAL EFFECTS: The Gate BEST DIRECTOR: Paul Thomas Anderson - Punch-Drunk Love 10/10 - Perfection (or as close to it as possible) 09/10 - An Excellent film 08/10 - A VERY Good film 07/10 - A Good film 06/10 - A Solid film 05/10 - An Average film 04/10 - Below Average film 03/10 - A mostly bad film 02/10 - A mostly terrible film 01/10 - Awful through and through 00/10 - Not only awful but offensive too Hi, Dark. Yours: You Were Never Really Here 5/10 Didn't like it much. Didn't care for the style. Joaquin Phoenix is good though. Morgan 8/10 I thought it was pretty well made. Kind of saw coming the twist about Kate Mara, but I think that was the point. Yeah, I liked Anya Taylor-Joy too. I think I saw Roar. Or maybe just parts of it. I don't remember much about it. Punch Drunk Love 7/10 I thought it was O.K., I prefer other Paul Thomas Anderson movies though. F/X 7.5/10 I only remember I enjoyed it. I think I saw F/X 2, I don't remember a thing about it though. The Gate 7.5/10 I enjoyed it. Yeah, I liked the effects too, they were creative. Mine: Low Down 8/10 It's a movie with John Hawkes and Elle Fanning, about the relationship between Jazz musician Joe Albany and his teen daughter, in the 70s. I thought it was pretty good, touching too. The cast is great, John Hawkes was Oscar worthy, IMO. Glenn Close as well; she plays Joe Albany's mother. Sudden Impact 7.5/10 It's a Dirty Harry movie, Clint directed it himself, it's about Callahan getting sent to a small town to investigate a murder, and discovering a series of them, all connected. It's kind of trashy, but I thought it was well made though. It holds up. Fear and Desire 8/10 It's Stanley Kubrick's first movie, it's really low budget, kind of experimental, about a group of soldiers lost behind enemy lines in an unspecified war. I liked it, I liked the atmosphere, kind of surreal. I read Kubrick wasn't satisfied about it though. Dead Bang 7.5/10 It's a John Frankenheimer movie, with Don Johnson, about a messy L.A. cop investigating on a murder and discovering a white suprematist group is behind it. I enjoyed it, Don Johnson is really good in the role. Hey Billy Sudden Impact - definitely a bit too trashy and one of the weaker Harry films 6/10 Fear and Desire - he pretty much disowned this film but there is some things to admire for sure, still probably his worst or close to 4/10 Dead Bang - i barely remember this but thinking it was ok, maybe worth a revisit, probably 5.5-6 currently

I thought it was genius that the same actors play both the soldiers and the enemies (I noticed it only with the end credits). The last one, Dead Pool, is the worst Dirty Harry movie, IMO.

Yeah, the Lieutenant and Fletcher play the enemy General and the Captain too. I think it plays well within the film, I liked that.

You Were Never Really Here - an unusual film, but I liked it just enough to call myself a fan. 7/10 Punch-Drunk Love - Gets better every time for me. The balance between comedy and drama is terrific, it features strong performances, and the score is wonderfully unique. 9/10 Peggy Sue Got Married - I enjoyed this one. I totally understand not liking Cage in this one because I'm not sure what the hell he's doing, but I found his performance strangely effective. 7/10 First Time Viewings:
Speed (1994, Jan de Bont) This one is a fun action movie with a cool concept. Keanu Reeves is a bit patchy in the lead role, but he didn't hurt the movie too much and I liked Sandra Bullock and Dennis Hopper quite a bit. The movie is pretty intense, has a good score, and has some good humor as well. I really enjoyed it. 7.5/10 8/10
Mr. Deeds (2002, Steven Brill) I saw part of this one on TV several years ago. It's a pretty silly remake of the Frank Capra classic, but it has its moments. 5.5/10 5/10
Westworld (1973, Michael Crichton) I feel like this one could have been better, but it was still good. The finale was the best part and I really liked the score. It has several standout scenes. 7/10 6/10 Didn't engage me enough. Good idea that isn't done in a very interesting or entertaining way for me.
Air Force One (1997, Wolfgang Peterson) This one has some good performances, builds tension nicely and has a really good score from Jerry Goldmsith. Fun movie. 7/10
In the Company of Men (1997, Neil LaBute) This one can be unpleasant due to the actions of the main characters, but the main trio puts in strong work and it has some powerful moments. 7/10
Incredibles 2 (2018, Brad Bird) This long awaited sequel is a fun movie with some great stuff in it, but it fails to match the overall greatness of the original. I knew it wouldn't be as good, but I was still hoping for a bit more. I'm hoping I'll be able to like it more after another viewing, but I had definitely had a good time with it and it was great seeing these characters again. 7.5/10
Love & Mercy (2014, Bill Pohlad) This one tells the story of Beach Boys singer Brian Wilson, focusing on two different periods in his life. The film is well made and kept me engaged throughout. John Cusack, Paul Dano, and Elizabeth Banks all put in strong work and overall I liked this one quite a bit. 7.5/10 8/10 glad you like.
Repeat Viewings:
The Neon Demon (2016, Nicolas Winding Refn) This one is beautifully shot, has a great score, and some great scenes here and there. 7/10 5/10
Finding Nemo (2003, Andrew Stanton) An animated classic with a ton of heart. It has a good score, beautiful animation, lots of great characters, a well written story, and it's highly entertaining. 9/10 7.5/10
Finding Dory (2016, Andrew Stanton) A pretty good sequel, but nowhere near as good as the original. 7/10
Jurassic Park (1993, Steven Spielberg) A childhood favorite that still holds up wonderfully. 9/10 8.5/10
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997, Steven Spielberg) I've always really enjoyed this one, but it took a pretty big hit this time. I still like it though. 7/10 5.5/10
Jurassic Park III (2001, Joe Johnston) I liked this one as a kid, but it just feels kind of cheap compared to the first two. it's has some really good stuff in it though. 6/10 5.5/10
Jurassic World (2015, Colin Trevorrow) It's entertaining enough, but I don't care that much about the two kids and the last act is pretty messy and ridiculous. 6/10 5/10
Bronson (2008, Nicolas Winding Refn) This one is well made, has a really good score, and some standout scenes, but it's held together by Tom Hardy's excellent performance. 7/10 6/10
Repeat TV Viewing:
Redwall: Season 1 (1999-2000) I loved this show when I was a kid and though I definitely didn't enjoy it as much now, it was still a nice refresher after all these years. Good stuff. 7.5/10
Movie Awards:
BEST FILM - Jurassic Park BEST ACTOR - Tom Hardy (Bronson) Aaron Eckhart BEST ACTRESS - Elle Fanning (The Neon Demon) Sandra Bullock BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR - Paul Dano (Love & Mercy) John Cusack BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS - Elizabeth Banks (Love & Mercy) BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY - Natasha Braier (The Neon Demon) Jurassic Park BEST SCORE - John Williams (Jurassic Park) BEST SCRIPT - Michael Crichton & David Koepp (Jurassic Park) Love & Mercy BEST DIRECTOR - Steven Spielberg (Jurassic Park)

Nice mix-bag you got there Darkydark
Punch-Drunk-Love: Saw it for the first time this year and became an instant favorite. 9/10
F/X: 6.5/10 F/X 2: 7/10
Rambo III: Not as epic as its under-loved predecessor but still pretty kick-ass. 7/10
Mine:
Mama's boy (2007 TV): ‘’ A twenty-nine year-old slacker who lives with his mom realizes his sweet set-up is threatened when she hears wedding bells with her self-help guru beau.’’ Not very pleasant to watch to be honest, has a few redeeming points, not even worth mentioning. Still better than Cyrus (2010), no offense to the Duplass brothers. 4.5/10
Thor: Ragnarok (2017 Netflix): Filled with myriads of colors, studded with dozens of winks and jokes, this movie is to take very lightly and is a real treat to watch and will be a thrill to re-watch too I’m sure. Everyone involved had the firm conviction to have fun and not take themselves seriously while making this film and the result on the viewer's side of the screen is the same; I had fun and I did not take the movie seriously at all. Valkyrie was a very cool addition to the Avengers or should I say the Revengers. The action scenes and CGI were off the hook and the story was as deep as a street puddle. 7.5-8/10
Thor (2011 Netflix): When I saw I was on Netflix I decided to rewatch. It was not as good as the first time, it takes itself a bit too seriously but has its moments. 6.5-7/10
Les trois p’tits cochons (2007 TV): This french-canadian movie is gold from start to finish. Unfortunately, I recognised myself in some of the character’s actions and made me take a good look at the guy in the mirror. The directing and cinematography was flawless, the characters could not have been played by better actors and I did not only watched this movie, I felt it and was awkwardly comfortable and happy being immersed in it. A bit how an unfaithful man can feel while doing the act. 8.5/10
