What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

Gerald's Game is easily Mike Flanagan's best film. Intense as ****.

Have ya'll seen this? Would love to hear your thoughts. The novel was amazing and I didn't think it could be made into a movie but they did a great job of capturing the utter despair.

Shut up! It's Predator, then Predator 2. There IS no Predator 1. That's one of my bugbears. Stop doing it. Gaahhh!

Of course homicide is ugly, but there's a difference between a movie being about something and rubbing my nose in it.

You should watch (or actually, maybe not) the series Ripper Street, especially the final episode.

Also, have you watched Dust Devil yet? Interested in your thoughts.

ay you watched it. yeah i liked it quite a bit. what’d you think of the ending though? i mean obviously they had to work off of the novel but storywise it killed everything that Flanagan had built up to with his brilliant pacing.

oh and also most importantly

Spoiler for best scene:

I've been looking for some good sci-fi horror that's actually space-related (harder than you'd realize since so much of it is SyFy level tripe) and been meaning to rewatch Predator. Thanks for reminding me. TO TORRENT!!!

I'd say that doing that is becoming more and more excusable. More and more movies are coming out with the same title as the first movie in the series. It's even worse in video games. I'm used to putting a '1' after the first if I want to make sure it's clear which I'm talking about. So if I say Tomb Raider 1 (the game), people know I'm talking about the first in the series and not the 2013 reboot of the same name. Don't blame me, blame dumb movie/game titles.

Probably not likely to be my kind of thing, but what is it specifically about the last episode you find so interesting. I don't mind spoilers at all.

I will eventually since I told my brother about it and he put it on his wanted list. It seemed right up his alley, so I told him about it. He will probably buy it soon enough, then I'll borrow and watch it. No promising it will be any time soon, but it's on my personal watch list too. It's just that there's many movies above it on the list.

Most definitely a great cinematic experience and the kind of thing 'ol Phil K. Dick would have approved of, but without the presence of Roy Batty it just can't beat out that feeling I had when I watched the Final Cut of the first Blade Runner over a decade ago. Plus Vangelis's original soundtrack is simply godly in comparison to Hans Zimmer and co.

It's just the pretty graphic scenes of Mary Kelly's murder (the final one in Jack the Ripper's spree) that I found quite harrowing.

OK well let me know as and when.

I think Alien is the king of those type of movies, isn't it?
