Love and Mercy

Kind of biopic about Brian Wilson. Switches between the earlyish days/recording of Pet Sounds and more recent times where he was under the spell of Eugene Levy. Works well swapping...

Le Mans 66 (aka Ford vs Ferrari)

Avoided this as I am not into cars, Dad's a huge petrol head, owned a Mustang in the US in the 60s and always telling me about cars of yesteryear. But gave it a go...

Everything, Everywhere All At Once.

I am a bit late to this, and was intrigued by all the reviews. First half comes across as a sci fi film you've seen lots of times, but as it progresses it drew...

Dunkirk. I think Nolan is a genius, and this is a 'war film' but possibly unlike 99% of the others. Not a typical Hollywood thing. Amazing cinematography, sound design and soundtrack.

Bohemian Rhapsody. Not the biggest Queen fan, but I can't deny their greatest hits are something special. Film was decent with no real surprises. The Live Aid section was excellent, really captured...

Rewatched Sicario and then watched Sicario 2 for the first time. Really good, intelligent action films for want of a better word. Lots of shadowy government agencies and how they deal with drug,...

I've heard only good things about this. And I read an article about how it has a lot of Native Americans working on it, so they wanted it to be real, and authentic to the culture. Really nice to hear...

Hustle - Adam Sandler Netflix drama about basketball. It's a slightly by the numbers drama, with all the highs and lows and montages of training etc. But, it's very good at what it does. Really...

Caught a piece of this ages ago. Looks really interesting. I will check out the whole thing.

I don't know what prompted me, but i bought a box set of Rocky 1-6 and rewatched them all. Still amazed Rocky was conceived and written by Stallone when he was starting out. I think 1-3 are still...

I think it was on this thread but Calm With Horses is a great film. Tense, well acted, great looking and a good soundtrack. You kind of know how it's going to pan out towards the end, but nothing...

Rewatched Gattaca. Really enjoyed it again. Though strictly it's Sci-Fi, I think my non Sci Fi interested other half would like it. It is just imagining what a little bit in the future would be like...

Sausage Party. Kind of OK. I knew what I was getting before I watched it. The last 'scene' is probably massively over the top. Even considering the tone of the whole thing...

Cloud Atlas. I had heard it was very poor. But I read and LOVED the book, so I was very curious about it. Not too bad really. Some of the aspects of the film worked better than the book, i.e. the...

I know I am going off at a tangent, and this may be worthy of it's own thread but I got one of these recently. However, probably unlike most other people...I've installed some DIY network apps for my...

Exactly. It doesn't pretend to be anything other than a revenge thriller, and it's great IMO. Looking forward to #2.

Special Correspondents. Wasn't reviewed very well, but it was really quite good. I like Gervais in almost anything.

Brooklyn. Kind of an old fashioned drama that they don't make so much these days, great film.

A Knight's Tale - This is very old now, but passed me by. Really liked it, fun, funny...a breath of fresh air. Also a little bit in love with the main female lead too, which always helps. ;)

God Bless America - silly dark humour fun. Reminds me of Super because of the central relationship.

Finally saw Interstellar. I loved it.

I quite liked this, but it made me really on edge and tense throughout the whole film.

I was reading that Edge of Tomorrow didn't do well at the box office, which means if good, original (though it's an adaptation, not a reboot/sequel) Sci-Fi films can't do well then it's a bit...

Michael. This was very harrowing, and the subject matter is grim, but it's well made. Not for the faint of heart at all.

I loved it. But I am not sure about underrated, every single review I have read/comment by people has been glowing. Maybe it wasn't massive box office smash, but it did fairly well I think.
