This is the way
Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
If I'm honest, if you haven't seen the first ones yet you m̶o̶s̶t̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶l̶y̶ will definitely hate this new one. As a stand alone film it's great mindless fun but, for me, it's the revisiting of the Bill and Teds I remember from childhood that added the extra spark.dtaai-maai wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 12:20 am I haven't seen any Bill and Ted films, but I've always had the impression I'd rather gouge out my eyes with a spoon... have I been mistaken all these years? (I'm hard to please when it comes to comedies - no sense of humour probably... )

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
I'm sure it will have been mentioned before, but just re-watched a bit of an oldie from the early "noughties" starring 007 himself - Daniel Craig. One I really enjoyed and would highly recommend. Based around the drug/gangster world of London with the lead character wanting to leave the "business" but having to do a few jobs to get out... Well worth the watch.

In all likelihood I resemble that remark.... but only on occasions I might add

Hubie Halloween
If you've got younger members about the house they'll definitely like this one. The dialogue is geared towards a 9 year old. I enjoyed it.
Adam Sandler puts on his dumb voice again (think waterboy, little nicky) to play the town's laughing stock. He goes out investigating Halloween disturbances. Nuff said

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
Agreed*. After seeing The Host, I've watched all the feature length films he's directed that I could find. Okja turned out to be far better than I expected. As one reviewer put it "Pitch-black satire, heartwarming devotion, over-the-top performance, and subtle drama are engineered into something decidedly (if improbably) delicious. "
*except for Parasite
Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
You didn't like Parasite? I really enjoyed that. A lot. I agree Okja was good, I think that was the first film I saw from this director. Will get round to all his others at some point. Do you have a favourite from him?Homer wrote: ↑Sun Oct 11, 2020 3:12 pmAgreed*. After seeing The Host, I've watched all the feature length films he's directed that I could find.

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
The Host is my favorite, with Okja in second place. After that is is Memories of Murder. It's based on a true story. Joon-ho Bong's treatment of the police investigation crafted suspense from a mix of social satire, government incompetence, dark humor, light humor, heavy drama, and the unexpected.
No spoiler alert needed for the trailer.
Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
A topical movie recommendation for some light viewing. Been out a fair few years now. I think it's great!
