[Pentagrimes]

Yeah, it's worth a look. More of a dark fairytale vibe to it from what I recall..check ut Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders with it for a good double bill

[Yung Led Zeppelin]

I mean it's not the best film you'll ever see or anything but yeah, definitely a solid watch. Dark fairytale vibe for sure. I think it's just beautifully shot etc and stuck with me after.

Totally different last night, Blood Machines. I've had the soundtrack to this for years, since it's a Carpenter Brut album, but had never watched it. More like a video game than a movie (plus, only 49 minutes long) it's fun, silly, and pretty hot tbh.

Looks pretty interesting! Especially if Carpenter Brut is the soundtrack. Must give it a go.

From the screenshots it reminds me a little of Manborg. I watched it for the first time a couple of years back in a state of utter fucking late night steaming. Stuck it on after midnight so it exists in my mind as some sort of drunken, late night, surreal, demented fever dream. I'd love to watch it again sober, but I've also avoided doing so so far as I don't want to ruin the memory I have of it!

Well, if you partake, I heartily recommend a toke with Blood Machines

Won't be for everyone, but we watched The Worst Person in the World last night and thought it was really good. If the synopsis puts you off, don't bother, but otherwise prepare for a surprisingly unpredictable story and cinematic presentation.

Went to see All of Us Strangers this week and felt like I was watching a different movie to everyone else after a few people recommended it to me, I was bored out of my mind during it, I thought it was absolute Shite. I've never seen so many people cry in the cinema before, and i'm a pretty easy cry too and i was just not invested whatsoever.

Last Flag Flying - A nice, mostly gentle film about 3 Vietnam veterans transporting one of their son's body to be buried. A character piece (and unofficial sequel of sorts to The Last Detail), with the show stolen by Steve Carell in an understated turn. Hadn't heard of it, came up as an Amazon recommendation, enjoyed it immensely.

Over the weekend, Whisper of the Heart (a Ghibli studio I stuck on for the young lad which, despite the gorgeous animation you'd expect, turned out to be 80% romantic high-school teen drama, be warned  ) and East of Eden, which turned out to be fairly meh to be honest, grand watching if you're in the mood for some 50s technicolor, but not much depth to it, esp given the source material.

Poor Things.

Went to see this last night, fucking weird film but really good, great acting too.

Last Voyage of the Demeter. It was ok. I found I was mainly engaged the whole way through and at times it created a nice atmosphere. As usual with modern films the use of CGI somewhat killed it. Dracula just looked like a cheap cartoon character, or a monster from a Playstation cut scene, and I also hate the modern trend of using CGI for injuries to people and blood, which looks super fake. Annoying child actor alert as well (and mainly dodgy acting across the board, aside from Liam Cunningham who is basically playing Davos). Still glad to see something a little different coming out though, even if it still technically counts as a remake/reboot. Very much doubt we'll get the sequel it sets itself up for, apparently it flopped quite hard.

Thought is was savage. Went in completely blind and loved it. With that, had no idea it was the guy that did Dogtooth and The Lobster. Watched The Killing of a Sacred Deer and The Favourite yesterday both of which I massively enjoyed. The former even has me reconsidering my opinion of Keoghan.

[ldj]

I've only seen The Lobster so will have to check out his other films, been a few years since I watched that but I remember it being quite surreal too.

On the Last Voyage of the Demeter mentioned above, there's a Nosferatu film coming out later this year directed by the guy who did The Witch/The Lighthouse, could have potential.

Ah jaysus lad. Giving away the fact that you're about 12 there

[CorkonianHunger]

Really was impressed by The Zone of Interest in the cinema there last week.

Also saw Anatomy of a Fall which was good.
