Movie review thread...

Speaking of Oscar movies after the abortion that was Maestro I was worried all the remaining Best Picture nominees would be equally as crap, but thankfully Anatomy of a Fall was good.
French film, German main actor, nearly half the dialogue in English, interesting look at the French court system.
Next up is the holocaust movie Zone of Interest, so that should be a fun watch.

went and saw Argylle on the weekend...stupid switch brain off fun in the mold (althought not as good as) Kingsman
impressive if ridiculous action scenes and send ups of spy movie troupe's

Still, the worst Oscar best picture winner I've ever seen along with Crash.
C'mon
whats worse is one of the films it beat was Saving Private Ryan.

That was an ok movie in a vacuum, Crash and Chariots are bad movies.

The Brits hate patriotic shit...
The thing I love about the Brits is their hatred of patriotic shit, and their dry humour.
Until... wait, no... it's absolute complete bollocks.
The Brits fucking LOVE their patriotic shit, see every deluded "this is our World Cup", Jubilee, and Brexit.
And every week at work a Brit feels compelled to explain to me "sorry, that was my dry humour", to which I have to diplomatically respond with "Yes, I know, I was responding in kind...". Actual dry humour flies over their head every fucking time.
Edit: Present company excluded... of course. -
You've clearly never seen a Ken Loach film.

I've seen clips of Benny Hill & Bruce Forsyth - was he similar?

Imagine 90 minutes of deep intellectual discussion on how everything British is shit, corrupt, racist, xenophobic and full of hate - except for this one bloke who'd had enough of living in a matchbox on the side of M1 but was killed by a right-wing thug.
Even more unwatchable than The Boys in the Boat....

@Victor-Meldrew doesn't sound like dry humour... but maybe over my poor colonial head?
Currently watching True Detective: Insomnia... that's dark enough for me this week. -

Dune Part 2 had plenty happening and there will need to be a Part 3. Definitely better than Part 1.
Amaaaazing movie, the sound..the fucking sound. Even re watching Part 1 its unbelievable. Your seat at times vibrated it was that intense.
They deviated from the book a bit but thats to be expected.
has to be seen on the biggest screen you can find (i watched on a V-max screen)
Some stunningly filmed sequences, the nearly 3 hours just flew by. Will be seeing it again for sure -

Great feedback on Dune. Will go and see it with the girl on Sundee night I think.
Movie series NEVER stop at two so a trilogy was always a given.
Dune Parts 1 and 2 complete the first book.
Theres still several more books in the saga to go. Though i doubt they will all make it to the big screen
They get very weird..
Sounds like Denis Villeneuve does plan to make at least 1 more movie but has talked about that been several years down the track.
