bexwell Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Watched this at a IMAX cinema, thought it was brilliant. A lot of it is filmed in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joaquin Phoenix is often excellent. @forcebwithu , @tko and @Phantom51red Sorry to report this, but with regard to the "Napoleon" movie starring Joaquin Phoenix that was produced by Ridley Scott, the initial feedback is negative. It only earned an IMDB of 6.6, which can be watchable, but for this level of talent is disappointing. The reviews tend to-be are negative. I doubt I will watch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw the Critical Drinker's take on it. Thanks for the heads up CF. I'll just re-watch Waterloo when I'm in the mood for that period of history.

Toy Boy Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) I watched this one last night, The Holdovers with Paul Giamatti. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14849194/ There's nothing really to dislike about the film, as long as you don't expect plenty of action and violence. It's gentle, mildly funny, character- and dialogue-driven, and well produced. By getting to know the characters well, with their personal hopes, fears and weaknesses being revealed gradually as the movie progresses, you build a genuine empathy with them. Personalities that seemed quite obnoxious to start with become warm human beings when you learn what made them the way they are. The ending is quite satisfying, too.

Glasseye Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I just began watching this. I hate to be an old softie. But, one of the first scenes when they kissed was brilliantly done. It brought a little tear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Just came in my Inbox…..Maybe Cineplex finally caught up to airlines and cruise ships, and figured out some revenue is better than an empty seat? But f—k the popcorn…..the prices are seriously out of control, I mean WTF are they thinking??? Such easy to make food in massive quantities, easily 1000% markup, if not 2000%…..starting to make Starbucks look cheap. It’s not the airport, they don’t pat me down, if I feel that hungry beforehand I have a lot of pockets in my overcoat to bring a snack Edited February 1 by Golfingboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 ^^^ I haven't been to a movie theatre in over a decade, and $5 tickets aren't going to entice me back. What killed it for me is the 20+ minutes of commercials forced on you when you've paid to see a movie not commercials. That and the selfish pricks talking during the movie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toy Boy Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 I was a bit late watching this one as it's meant to be a Christmas film. It's based on the Fredrick Forsyth story and you don't really get what it's all about until the very end, but it's well worth waiting for. John Travolta plays the ghostly Canadian Mosquito pilot, apparently he's long liked the tale. He has, of course, been a qualified pilot since he was 22, loves flying and parks his private 707 outside his house, which is located by a private airfield. Anyway, it's only 39 minutes long and, IMHO, well worth the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely one for the weekend, and thanks for reminding me about it as I'd forgotten lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an hour wasted, and very good indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasseye Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Today I realized I had an attached benefit with my U.S. mobile service, free apple tv. Was able to get it synched up. Just enjoyed the movie "Greyhound". Outstanding. I have been waiting a long time to see this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
