Kiefer Sutherland is pretty good in it too, It's a really good story/action thriller even without Michael Douglas etc. Only slight detraction is Michael Douglas is clearly of an age, and to have him out-running and getting the better of younger agents takes a degree of imagination to believe. |

Re: Rate the last film you watched (4)..
elysium - 7/10 I usually have time for decent special effects. the only problem is, special effects distance you from the subject of the film. and I reckon we're a lot closer to the subject of the film than the film suggests. special affects = this might happen in the future. I reckon some countries have already surpassed the level in the film. it's directed by the same guy who did district 9
standard storyline, nice effects da vinci code - 7/10 I enjoyed it. some cozy hollywood fluff. nicely made. the new world - 7/10 this was cool. just some really artistic story. gorgeously filmed mona lisa smile - 6.5/10 interesting stuff. I enjoy it when a film exposes the **** beneath the surface of something that appears spotless. (stepford wives is like that, but more sci fi) just an interesting sort of story |

The Page Turner - 6.735/10.
Love Crime (starring our own K S-Thomas) - 7.14/10 Two fantastic French thrillers. No one does thrillers like the French, and on a fraction of the budget of the vapid, Hollywood gravy train mush. |

The Waltons Christmas movie, The Homecoming on YT
at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umEEnFtmV0I runs for 1hr 38min made in 1971, and the prelude to the tv series which I loved. Would watch again; will add to my list of Christmas movie viewing. |

I was really looking forward to seeing Tenet, until Covid happened, I'm hoping when cinemas do eventually open here they'll still be showing films that were affected by the Pandemic, could be a huge let-down right enough if it's not up to his usual standards. |

Re: Rate the last film you watched (4)..
Personally thought Inception was one of the worst films I’ve sat through and Tenet looks like more of the same - a self-indulgent meandering experience with zero pay-off.
Game of opinions I appreciate. I guess Nolan just doesn’t make films that ‘sing’ to me, but the noise made around Inception I found completely baffling and imho out of all proportion to the product. |

Re: Rate the last film you watched (4)..
I think when I saw inception it was actually an SA meet,.
We all walked out afterwards and asked each other, " WTF was that all that about?" visually, it was an odd kind of feast,. But as far as meaning went, I was totally lost,..it escaped me. |

Re: Rate the last film you watched (4)..
I downloaded Tenet too, but haven't seen it yet. Maybe this weekend. I've read that it's difficult to make out what anyone is saying in it, but I watch everything with subtitles on anyway and the file I got included subtitles, so this won't be a problem. I don't know why the trend for incomprehensible dialogue is continuing since people have been complaining about it happening for several years now. I assume I probably won't like Tenet anyway since people whose opinions I trust said that it isn't very good, but it's good to give these things a chance. I think I liked Memento, but I watched it so long ago that I can't really remember it. I didn't like Inception at all (it just seemed like very straightforward action film disguised as something intelligent) and I found Interstellar incredibly boring, but those are the only films I've seen of his. I watched Inception at the cinema twice because the first time the only seat left was on the front row against the wall and I couldn't actually see anything. I thought I didn't like it because of that, so I saw it again a few weeks later and after getting a good look of it I hated it even more than the first time

I think you've definitely hooked into what Christopher Nolan has intended for his audience,.. I feel bad for missing what you're getting out of that, .. I do really like most of Di-Caprio's work too, I think when I saw Interstellar (that was an SA meet too), it really did blow me away, I loved that film and did manage to really get the whole idea, story, and feel of the film,. Batman series with Christian Bale really kicked ass, and Heath Ledger was unbelievable, ..amazing series of films. I do have a copy of Inception, so should really re-visit it for old times sake. |

^ Kill two birds and watch the 2009 film Interception instead, rated only 2.9/10 by IMDB, but at least you’re spared Nolan’s self-indulgence and it’s almost like watching Interstellar and Inception combined in one delightful viewing sitting. Make it so.

Re: Rate the last film you watched (4)..
Inception is one of my favourite films, I would recommend multiple viewings if you're confused. I liked Tenet, definitely needed subtitles and had no idea what was going on 85% of the time but still thought it was clever. I love Christopher Nolan

Really liked Inception that and The Prestige. Missed it first screening in cinema but when I heard the theory that Cobb was the target of the Inception rethinking noticed all the possible signs. Very clever.

War with my Grampa (2020) 8/10
Surprisingly good comedy that I thought would be a mediocre Robert DeNiro film. |

Re: Rate the last film you watched (4)..
Saw Tenet at Cineworld before it shutdown again.
Wasn't a fan. To much heavy exposition, no real stand out action scenes and to me feels weirdly restricted in scale to Nolan's previous films. Pretty disappointed. |

Re: Rate the last film you watched (4)..
I watched Host the other day and really enjoyed it. I wasn't expecting to since it basically looked like an Unfriended copy and it was made about and during lockdown, which I thought would be irritating (and the references to it were pretty irritating - though thankfully it doesn't dwell too much on it) but it's only 56 minutes long and once the action starts it keeps getting better and better. I read about how it was made afterwards and it's pretty impressive... the director didn't spend time with the actors and they all just filmed their parts on their own and did their own stunts and effects. It's amazing what they managed to achieve, some genuinely creepy parts. 9/10

Re: Rate the last film you watched (4)..
Currently watching Backcountry. It's supposedly based on a true story: a couple go hiking into the wilderness, things go wrong, etc. I'm 45mins in and it's slowly burning away, pretty uneventfully. It's not been poor enough to stop and i'm too involved now... and hopefully it's gonna get better because the things that i don't like about it are becoming more obvious....

^Got a bit of a soft spot for Die Hard, even though I'm not usually one for action films. It's so 80s. And Alan Rickman being a baddie.
