What Films did You Watch Last Week (15/08 - 21/08) CLOSED

Hi, Dark.

Here I am.


Yours:

Slums of Beverly Hills 8/10

The title didn't ring a bell, then I checked out the trailer, yeah, I saws it. I remember liking it a lot and that I loved Marisa Tomei.

Lincoln 8.5/10

Yeah, loved it actually. The cast is fantastic.

Blame it on Rio 6.5/10

I remember thinking it wasn't great, but not bad either.. But yeah, if I remember the plot, the movie comes out today and half of Twitter users would get an aneurysm.

A Few Good Men 8/10

I haven't seen it in ages, I remember liking it, and that Jack was great.

I've seen just the beginning of Kundun.


Mine:

Diabolik (2021) 4/10

It's an Italian movie, it's about a thief and killer in the 50s/60s, a master of disguise, always one step ahead of the police, kind of amoral too. I didn't like it, it felt kind of flat and dull, also too long. I'0ve seen only parts of the 60s version, the one Mario Bava directed, but that seemed definitely better.

The Pursuit of Happiness 7.5/10

It's a Robert Mulligan movie, with Michael Sarrazin and Barbara Hershey, it's about a university student, from a rich family, who runs over and kills by accident, a pedestrian and gets sentencesd to one year of hard labour. I thought it was more like a thriller, or even action, but it's really a drama, it's well made. The first half is good, then it loses it a bit, IMO. I enjoyed it though. 

The Fugitive (1947) 8/10

It's a John Ford movie, with Henry Fonda. It's about a priest on the run, in a country where the Catholic church is persecuted, it's not mentioned which, I think it's supposed to be Mexico though. I liked it, it's not subtle, but it gets pretty intense, Also, I loved Dolores Del Rio, she plays a woman and single mother who works in a cantina and helps the priest. She was really gorgeous.

The Courier 7/10

It's a movie with Benedict Cumberbatch, mased on a true story. It's about an English businessmen in 1960, before the Cuban missiles crisis. he gets hired by MI6 and the CIA to go to the Soviet Union, under the cover of a business trip and contact a source in the Soviet government who wants to give the secret plans of putting nuclear missiles in Cuba to the West. It's O.K., I thought it was a bit bland in the first half, then it gets pretty intense. Benedict Cumberbatch is good. I liked Jesse Buckley too, she plays his wife. 

Videodrome 9/10

It's David Cronenberg movie, with James Woods. Love it, I think it's really great.  I actually kind of forgot it was that surreal. Pretty mind-bending. James Woods is great, I liked Deborah Harry too.
I watched it in a theatre actually, I'm definitely happy I did.
