We watched it last night as well. Brilliant film and far better than any of the US attempts at a monster movie.

I would have been very very surprised if they did, it would have been a complete shift for what is a Japanese creation and the underlying themes it was introduced to cover…and the Japanese seem to love doom laden shows/ movies.

I think i’ll have to go back to the old movies where Godzilla would triumph over another monster. Of course cities would be flattened in the process but Godzilla would always win. Been a long time since I’ve watched one.
Cant fault Minus One though. I do feel they could have added more on Godzillas growth from nuclear testing but to be fair the main thread of the story wasnt about that.

Just watched Covenant, Jake Gullenhaal.
Enjoyed it to be fair. Reminded me of the complete clusterfuck of the US and UK pulling out of Afghanistan. Angry before bed is never good.

Clearly a Liverpool fan paying tribute to our new manager.

Watched the new Beverly Hills Cop film last night.
Was pretty much just a rehash of the original film but rearranged some scenes around. Felt like it was simply cashing in on the franchise/Eddie Murphy name to make a quick buck.
If you’ve not seen it, save yourself the time and don’t bother

I honestly hate it when they do that.
Put some effort in and write a new story ffs. Its as if Holywood has actually completely run dry of decent story writers.
How many good stories have come out over recent years, especially with the larger franchises?

Watched an Indian film called Paradise last night. Very good movie. Excellent acting, plot, visuals.
It’s pretty obscure, but worth looking out for.

It was worth the cameo from the great Shooter McGavin though.

From 1:44:00, genius stuff.
Haven’t even watched it and I already agree with you.
just probing here, but did you watch that for the 2 hours it runs?
i just skimmed it just then for around 1 minute, its not my cup of tea.
Me? I just watched from the 1:39:55 mark. Its basically just poking fun at the overly inclusive path some films take, through hypothesizing what a new film in the same series would be like.
was to klopptomist who suggested the part at 1:44 was funny…so i assumed he wathed the whole thing…

Terminator 6 was rubbish? I can’t believe they ruined such a can’t miss franchise with silly wokeness when T4 and 5 were both so well received.
Against my better judgement I watched Bank of Dave on Friday. Silly pandering nonsense that treats “the north” like some magical place cultured Londoners just cannot understand.

I watched it this evening and loved it, but i’m unashamedly sentimental. Thought much of it reminded me of the second movie more than the first (which in itself echoes the first a lot).
I miss the original police chief, Todd, though. Some of the best scenes in 1 and 2 involve him.
I’m a big fan of Gordon Levitt Jr too, ever since I watched Brick.
I was blown away by Brick but have resisted watching it again. I am conscious it wont have the same novelty on rewatch and wonder if without that whether it would hold up or come across as a bit silly.
Yeah, i’m the same.
