Padders Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Last night, a bit of good old fashioned nostalgia. "The Pit And The Pendulum" Creepy music, thunderstorm, and waves smashing on to rocks. And of course the one and only Vincent Price. No sub titles needed. I'll give it 10/10 just for taking me back.

Rockers rule Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Arctic void (2022) (Her choice again ) A VOID would be a better title. Shame, because the idea is good. Mysterious happening in the Artic, people disappearing, abandoned boat, abandoned town and then something all to common lately, the film just ends . As daft as it sounds it was quite watchable, and the reasoning to the disappearances is explained, but has to be a low 2/10 for the none ending .

wearysmith Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Kenneth Branagh's new version of 'Death On The Nile'. It's a tale familiar with many millions of readers/viewers. Knowing why the murders take place and who the victims will be is a given, so the ultimate job of any director is to give it spin. The ending can't be changed as Christie's estate wouldn't allow that. Mr Branagh, a masterful actor himself, understands perfectly about nuance, subtle direction, story-pacing and lighting. What you see isn't so much a film as a piece of art. In one scene Poirot and his companion Bouc are questioning a suspect. They slowly circle him. Me, as a viewer 2,456 miles away, started getting dizzy - and I was sitting down! A wonderfully unsettling scene. ..........and through it all you have how the movie is mic'd up. Echoes, underlaying sounds of a boat's engine, soft wind blowing through Egyptian temples, distant ibis calls.... All in wonderful (Cineworld) surround-sound. You ARE there. Finally, a nod to the soundtrack. Sophie Okonedo does a convincing miming to Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Wonderful old blues, suited to the period. Can't wait to see it again, so it's a clear 10 from the beloved & I. I'd never offer one-word summations for any film, but if I did, for this one, it would be: 'intriguing'.

OT, but if you have a look on YouTube (or have a bit of a google) you'll find an excellent radio series from the 70s called The Price of Fear. Lots of tales with either Price as the narrator or actively involved in the story. Two of the best: The Ninth Removal (I could never quite work out what to make of the ending to that one) and Come As You Are. Beware though, as a couple of them are very disturbing. ETA: Here you go.

Rockers rule Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 BigBug (2022) French Si Fi comedy. This is a prime example why I hate 'Trailers'. In theory the film looks like it has every thing. Set in the future, robots go haywire trapping 3 households in an apartment. Some naughtiness, and funny moments but the actual film is hardly worth bothering with. Watch the trailer & then fast forward the film itself to the last 10 minutes save yer self some time 🤣. 3/10 for kookyness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky_Gibbon Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Raging Fire - 5.5/10 Hong Kong action crime film starring Donnie Yen which steals a lot of the plot and specific scenes from 'Heat', plus some music from 'The Untouchables' that took me right out of the movie every time it showed up. Basically it's a a bunch of cops trying to take down a highly skilled crew of criminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
