I haven't seen the new Minions movie but my nephew and his wife took their three kids to see it last night. They walked out halfway through because the kids were bored to death.

Gravity

Eh. Sandra Bullock was great (probably the first time I’ve ever said that), and the effects were nice. But it didn’t grip me, and it felt seriously inferior to Interstellar.

Another of Chadwick Boseman’s “playing historic/important black man” films. About the first black person to play Major League Baseball, back in the 40s.

They clearly cleaned up a fair bit of the nastiness that would’ve occurred, and instead focused on the strength of the guy to push through hate and pave the way.

Pretty decent movie and it reinforces what a loss Boseman is.

I think Gravity relies and only really works if you watch it in 3D. The experience really elevates the story.

Saw at imax in 3D and was blown away by the spectacle but don’t think it would hold up on a laptop or regular tv.

Is that you James Cameron?

Yeah I tried re-watching it at home and it wasn't the same. Bit lacklustre

My covers blown

Don't worry I'm not a 3D hater, I do think it has a place somewhere and did enjoy some 3D films in the cinema

Elvis

Loved it but it dragged on towards the end.

Austin Butler my god he was amazing this wasn't an impression it's liked he channeld Elvis if he doesn't win an Oscar it would be criminal

That's a bit serendipitous, Josh McConville, the Aussie actor in The Infinite Man that i watched last night, plays Sam Phillips in the Elvis movie.

We saw Gravity at Imax in 3D also. I think the huge screen filling our field of vision really enhanced the experience of a thriller set in space.

The 3D element still seems like a gimmick - where the director/cine will throw a few in focus objects into the foreground from time to time.

They Live (1988)

Scary how relevant some themes are today. Really liked it. Worth it alone for Piper's "chew bubblegum and kick ass" quote, as well as Piper and Keith David's fight scene.

Big fan of Carpenter's work.

Russell and Carpenter made some great films, Escape From New York is one of my favourite guilty pleasures

Need to watch this too. So much stuff pre 90's I've only watched in the last few years. Not good enough.... Say this as someone born in early 80s.

See it has Lee Van Cleef too. Only watched the Dollars trilogy earlier this year!

 

[Exe Gesis]

Kurt Russell was a great actor to follow back then....Escape From NY, Escape From LA, Big Trouble In Little China, The Thing, Tombstone, Overboard, Tango and Cash.

Talk about serendipity again....he also played Elvis in a 1970s movie.

The Man From Toronto (Netflix)

Kevin Hart plays a failed sales man, goes on vacation with his wife. Ends up at the wrong house and gets mistaken for a notorious assassin "The Man From Toronto".

Surprisingly had a blast watching this. Plenty of laughs. Kind of reminded me a bit of Rush Hour with the buddy dynamic.

Why is it a guilty pleasure? It's considered a classic.

playing fast and loose with the word ‘classic’ there… it’s by-the-numbers pulp

Well done but very much a ‘strap in, switch off your brain’ movie

You may consider it a guilty pleasure. But it's widely considered as a classic..

like I said, depends on your definition of a classic

I enjoy it very much but I’m not sure I’d say it was even one of the top 10 films released that year

Was supposed to see this Friday but my son got sick. Really keen on spite of very very mixed reviews.

Most professionals within the entertainment industry consider it a classic and influential film? Creators and reviewers?

I mean, you may not consider it one, but a lot of do. To a point where saying it isn't but it is a guilty pleasure, is definitely an uncommon perspective.

The sequel is awful though. That is guilty pleasure territory.

I think you will like it Elvis fans will definitely love it i feel like sometimes these film critics that give mixed reviews are never happy

 

[The Dice Man]

Dunkirk. 2nd time in a few years. It's a great film and Nolan is one of my favorites. I might follow up with 1917 after the wife and baby go to bed.
