Last Movie You Watched

Second viewing. And thinking exactly what I thought the first time: that its a victory snatched from the jaws of defeat. Because a dramatization stopped mid filming by the death of its producer and finished as a "docu-drama" with linking narration and to-camera commentary by Tom Hanks ought to come off as the Frankenstein monster it is. And yet I feel in its hybrid format its quite probably better that the straight dramatic version would have ultimately been.

Hollow Point





A hard hitting thriller that is worth your time

[GioCar]

Snowpiercer



First time viewing. I didn't know the director was Bong Joon-ho (Parasite). I usually avoid those kind of apocalyptic/dystopic films, but this is very good indeed.

Margin Call





A really very engaging film about when it goes really wrong in high finance.

Yes, I have seen that twice and it is indeed very good. It has a little more to offer than the usual, as you say.

Silly bit of information of the day: in Spain (not so in Spanish-speaking South American countries) a cardigan is called a...."rebeca". Guess where that came from? 


Good day, Karl.

Cheers, Rafael!

I haven't seen that movie in ages!  I do remember reading the novel by Daphne du Maurier when I was a teenager.

+1 - bought the Criterion BD earlier this year - superb 4K master transfer that looks and sounds great (review HERE, for those interested); comes w/ 2-discs containing a LOT of extras, plus an excellent booklet - yep, you do pay extra for Criterion productions but worth the money, IMO.  Dave :

It is gorgeous, Dave!

First time I've seen this since my teens.

While I find Kubrick to be a highly problematic director there's certainly much to admire in this.

I should watch this again soon.

Blade Runner.

I like sci-fi, but this movie I found to be super boring. Well, at least now that I've seen all three- Totall Recall, Minority Report, and Blade Runner, I won't get them confused in my mind any more.

super boring.

I know these things are subjective, but...

Definitely subjective - one of my favourite sci-fi movies. On the other hand, Bladerunner 2049 really is super boring - I didn't last 20 minutes with it before giving up.

[Karl Henning]

I find Blade Runner exquisitely enjoyable.

[greg]

I mean, I wanted to like Blade Runner (sci fi stuff is great), just didn't get what was supposed to be so interesting about it.

On one of the gaming youtube channels that I follow (happyconsolegamer), he mentioned Blade Runner as his favorite movie, so when I saw it on Netflix, I jumped on it. But maybe there is some deeper theme I'm not aware of that is supposed to be amazing, or something?

Parasite

This one also I don't get why it received the amount of acclaim that it did, even if I did like it somewhat. This sort of social commentary in a realistic, every day setting is not really my thing, I guess. I liked stuff like Snowpiercer and The Platform, which take that theme to a more abstracted level.

I needed some escapism tonight so watched this which I thoroughly enjoyed. I saw it when it first came out in 1981 at the cinema. So much better than the later version and with a nice soundtrack by Laurence Rosenthal:
