Main Street

Quote from: DrinkingHarp on January 18, 2024, 02:08:18 AMHas anyone seen Sing Street and would it be worth watching?
Just watch it, the film has enough accolades to deserve a viewing.

It's a musical. That's code for "just f**king skip it."

Saltburn.  Beautifully shot, very well acted. Plot a bit shit though. Just about watchable. 4/10

Here lads... ye only thought Saltburn was mental.

Wait until you watch Poor Things. It's completely batshit from start to finish. Weird and disgusting and funny well acted and completely bananas.

I still haven't decided if it's good or bad yet but I'm leaning towards good. I laughed more in shock than humour.

It's worth a look but not for the faint of heart plenty of gore and riding and nudity!

I'm interested to hear anyone else's take on it.

Emma Stone is a shoo in for the Oscar after it.

Just shows what a bad year it was for films if Barbie and Oppenheimer are up for the big one.

For drama, Man in High Castle on Prime springs to mind, don't know if you've seen it. Carnival Row was ok.

Such a depressing show. Nothing good ever happens in the first season. There's a one-dimensional sheriff baddie who does my head in. I gave up after Season 1.

Saw The Boys in the Boat recently. Highly recommended.

Speaking of which and one for the death notice thread, Jesse Jane and her boyfriend found dead after an apparent overdose of drugs at their home.

The Holdovers really is a decent show. I had no expectations when I went to see this as I literally didn't know what it was about.  At times it is serious and at times it was laugh out loud funny. Paul Giamatti is excellent.  His character would remind you of his "Chuck" from Billions in some ways, but funnier.

Really enjoyed it. Feel good show. You can understand why it got a few Oscar nominations. One of my favourite films of last couple of years
quit your jibba jabba fool!!
