Just watched Renfield and liked it a lot.
The Killer was my other recent pick.
I’ve just watched Brazil, a dystopian scifi from the 80s. The visuals were great, and I love the genre, but I wasn’t really feeling it. I just couldn’t really care about the characters.
@Roggebrood hmm yeah good point. The only one we can really care about is the main character but he keeps disassociating.
Leo (2023) awesome feel good animated movie. Solid 7/10.
The Wire. Again. 😎
-
Typist Artist Pirate King (2023) - biopic of Audrey Amiss with a very effective portrayal of her paranoid schizophrenia.
-
The Creator (2023) - looked great but totally predictable and unoriginal.
-
A Field in England (2013) - surreal, low-key folk horror with some memorable BW cinematography.
-
Oppenheimer (2023) - powerful and great performances, but it could have been just as effective with 20 minutes cut IMHO.
-
The Miracle Club (2023) - nothing outstanding here, but a solidly told tale of forgiveness.
-
Lair of the White Worm (1988) - as messily uneven as ever. Amanda Donahue seemed to know what
LoachRussell was aiming for. Not sure about anyone else.
Sounds like I might skip The Creator.
A Field in England is great. I really enjoyed the cinematography too.
The Creator is visually spectacular - don’t underestimate that - but don’t expect anything interesting from the plot.
Good to know. Tthe trailer made it look pretty good but if the narrative is pedestrian then it might be a bit of an empty experience.
I fully agree. I put it off and finally watched it. It is beautiful and visually interesting. They really made the best of that budget.
The story is nothing new and the tone is inconsistent at times but certainly worth a watch.

I took a trip back to the 80s and watched Dune (1984) on laserdisc. People love to hate on it, but I much rather watch this version of it than the new ones.
It is 20 years from realese of The Return of the King.
What I will watch is not a question.
La Haine (1995), amazing movie. The lives of others (2006), very good too.
La Haine, loved it as a teenager.
I need to rewatch The Lives of Others. I have a feeling it really holds up.
