Movies

Finally got around to watching The Quiet Place II, I enjoyed it, it had a nice prequel segment that connected some dots, it moved along well, but at a certain point I started to sense the setup for part III and it soured the tail end of the movie for me. The revelation of the "weakness" and safety were great, but the inevitable happened, which started to make me feel like they were milking it and it started to take on the zombie movie formula of it never ending.

It was still fun, don't get me wrong, if you saw the OG you should watch part II, but I wish some movies, no matter how popular would just stop at 2 if they really feel they need to wrap things up, they could have done this here but opted for another payday.

Spoilers -
I do like the bit of background story we got out of it like Emmett's story and the whole prequel sequence but that whole across the water part seems almost like a MacGuffin and they made it like such a big thing.

A True Life period piece with a star studded cast (Lady Gaga, Jared Leto(!), Al Pacino(!!), etc…), wearing over the top make up and wigs, bad Italian accents, directed by Ridley Scott… where do I sign up!?!!

I was in before, but I was fully in when you have Gaga say, with an extremely russian sounding mob girlfriend accent:

"Father Son, and House of Guicci"

I am absolutely blown away by a Mulholland Drive. It’s so well-directed and surreal. Some of the scenes are going to live in my head forever.

We enjoyed most of it (despite Toni Collette who we usually like), but I would say we still prefer Murder On The Orient Express 74'.

Next up is Once Upon A Time In Hollywood which I have seen once when it came out.

I just recently picked this up. Still haven’t cracked it open yet but looking forward to it…

This is great to read. After the horrible taste the first left in my mouth, I pretty much lost any interest in all of the current wave of DC movies.
Given James Gunn's involvement, however, I've been cautiously optimistic about this one.

From the previews, it looked like they lightened it up a lot. Honestly, if they just took the tone of the Harley Quinn cartoon, then it'd be a smash.

I watched 'Devil' last night (the 2010 M. Night Shyamalan film) and actually really enjoyed it.

As much as anything I really enjoyed how it was pretty much all contained within the elevator car, and the thriller aspect of 'who done it'. Does anyone have any recommendations of films like this? I'm not really bothered about the horror aspect, but certainly the thriller side of it. Films like 'Phonebooth', etc.

Cheers

I've not seen the Devil will give it a watch. Buried sounds similar, the one where its set in a coffin.

Have you seen 'Rope', an old Hitchcock movie, it won't have the pace of the likes of Phonebooth, but it's a whodunnit that takes place in one room with a single shot. It's not really a one shot movie, as film reels at the time only lasted 15 minutes or so.

Another one that sings to mind is Locke, it's set in a car with Tom Hardy taking & making calls, not a thriller, or whodunnit bit more of a radio play style, but interesting concept.

Ah yes, Buried is a great one. I actually re-watched it recently because my fiancee had never seen it.

I haven't seen Rope or Locke, but will definitely check them out, they sound great! Cheers
