Anyone gone to see Megalopolis? Seen quite a few saying that that is super confusing and generally terrible
I love Coppola's Godfather Trilogy, Apocalypse Now and Dracula. Apocalypse Now is mind-blowing. But his other works seem average (except The Conversation maybe). I don't have high expectations for Megalopolis but I'll definitely watch it.
Please go in with low expectations, Jessie!....extremely low

Or just don’t go and spend the money on something else.
Would recommend A DIFFERENT MAN, if you can still see it in cinemas. Excellent darkly comic tale looking into how disability/disfigurement is depicted.

My mate went to watch Apocalypse Now in Imax a few weeks back in some anniversary release and he said it was incredible
I've always been a fan of war films but I rarely watch blockbusters made before the 90's because they look sort of "old" to me if you know what I mean... I watched this one last year however, after having heard so many good things about it and it blew my mind with its combat scenes - it doesn't look like a film from the 70's. And the horror of war is depicted in an unforgettable (and disturbing) way. No wonder it always appears in those Greatest War Films lists.

It’s an all time poor film.
Thanks and don't worry. I won't spend any money on it because I can't🤣 It has zero chance of showing in my country.
Got this confused with the Richard Pryor film, probably one for the things that make you feel old thread as i looked it up and not only was it called 'See no evil, hear no evil' it was also released in the 80s
Not sure if it has been covered but went to see "Lee" featuring Kate Winslet. Very moving and some good twists can thoroughly recommend, not just for topless Kate.
Broadly speaking its about society girl / model, who turns wartime photographer, during 2nd world war. Lee is gutsy female photographer who won't take no for an answer when trying to get to the front to take award winning photos.
Hated it. Laughed a bit at start, but then it was pretentious nerdy humour, that got really boring and repetitive. The story was making sense, then lost it completely. Luckily was only 90 mins long, so rather than leave just stuck it out.
Saw the new Alice Lowe film Timestalker at The Storyteller in Sidcup this evening.
Absolutely batshit crazy, but I really liked it. I love her 2 other films so am a bit biased. Bit weird seeing Nick Frost playing a properly nasty character.
Basically the plot follows a woman stalking the love of her life through time. She is reincarnated various times. It starts in 1663 and ends in 2117.
Salem's Lot remake tonight. Loved the original so hard not to compare. Enjoyed it but felt it crammed in the storyline in 2 hours unlike the 2 parter in the 70s which was double the length. Solid vampire fayre, and not too much cgi.
Also went to the London Film Festival on Sunday at the ICA,
Harvest- 5.5/10
Parts of it I really enjoyed and had some good ideas, but at times it seemed to have random violence for the sake of it that didn't add much. It was confusing to follow what the story was trying to convey. It was OK.

I have a problem with Joker 2. I thought the first film was brilliant. An act of genius. So I was really looking forward to the sequel. But having read reviews I don't feel I want to go. Even if it is ok, I don't want it detracting from the original. Can somebody reassure me it is worth going to see it?

Yep thought it was ok. Doesn’t change the first film.
As I understand it film distributors play down the ‘musical’ element of any new film however well done so as not to turn audiences off.
Not much else on at the cinema currently and worth a watch.
Separately I’m looking forward to ‘The Apprentice’ this week which I understand Trump tried to block / ban.

It is absolute crap, one of the worst films I’ve paid to see (as I’ve already said).
Just watched this . One of the most intelligent serial killer movies I’ve seen In years . Brilliant performance from Willa Fitzgerald. Highly recommended

The cinematography and music are incredible in this film. Very Tarantino and both the lead actors excel.
The script seemed to trail off near towards the end, but still enjoyable.

Really looking forward to seeing this, where did you watch it?

I watched it in the Canary Islands . Just been travelling back today
I've seen a glut of films in last 2 weeks at the cinema most at London Film Festival
Joker 2... was that a bad joke? Todd Phillips a director allowed to do what he wants like Christopher Nolan they hit the heights then no one has the balls to say it ain't that good, edit or come up with a better idea. Real Shame as Phoenix is a brilliant actor but what a terrible singer
The Outrun - superb brilliant film, really powerful performance by Saoirse Una Ronan, at times brutally hard to watch as it about alcoholism. Its set on the bleak Orkney Islands a bleak but strangely uplifting film, came out of Ritzy, Brixton blown away by 2 hrs spent watching The Outrun
Endurance - saw the premiere at RFH at LFF - took my daughter who was in tears at the end. Film about sir Ernest Shackleton how he kept his crew of 27 men alive for over a year despite the loss of their ship Over a century later, a team of modern-day explorers sets out to find the sunken ship. superb re-construction seq's blended into original footage & filmmakers took some of original crew's voice recordings and use A1 to generate their voices reading their diaries.
2073 - Asif Kapadia latest doc after Senna, Amy, Maradona ...2073 is an assault a film about climate change, corporate fascism, the global erosion of democracy. My son was blown away, I was left thinking were 'f**k'd"
Two which didn't click with me Pepe and Queer.
Queer was just dull, 007 was convincing as Burroughs but it dragged and director IMHO made a mistake shooting film in Southern Italy rather than Mexico where its set. Film started after intros 9.20pm, it just was dull and found Craig's performance irritating after a while. RFH was boiling not because the film was red hot but RFH A/C was bust, my wife and I took an easy decision to walk out towards the end. Craig will find it hard to move on from being Bond
Saw this at London Film Festival. Really enjoyed it, the ending was a bit weird and was slightly corny at times, but I really enjoyed it. Had a nice feel to it as a story and explores how people can go against stereotypes.

Loved The Coversation, thought Godfather III was poor, Dracula OK, agree with you on the rest.
