3 Billboards is some movie, excellent stuff.

...would have loved to see the next half hour of it though!

Anyone else hate superhero films to the point where you refuse to watch even the well received ones?

Or is that just me?

Generally not a fan either, with the exception of the Nolan Batman ones and the Ironman series

"Get Out" is worth a watch. Not a horror as described in some reviews.

It is absolutely the most effective horror film I've seen in years.

Best film of 2017.

Seriously Syf?
I thought it was a load of shite and a desperate storyline.

Just finished watching LadyBird. There's an hour and a half of my life I'll never get back. Load of shite.

Looks shit. Tempted to watch the shape of water but could also be a waste of time.

Have to agree that LadyBird was awful. An hour and a half of meandering, unfunny dross. Typical Hollywood up it's own hole movie.

It's one of the sharpest and most well-put together satires I've ever seen. It's genuinely in Dr Strangelove territory. If the Oscar voters weren't just a bunch of old white liberals (exactly whom Get Out lampoons) and it was judged on its merits alone it would have had a very good shot at winning Best Picture.

Because it is both a horror movie and a satire it starts most big award votes at minus 50 as both genres are the sorts of things chin-strokers never understand or fully appreciate.

Shape of Water poor to average too.

Really enjoyed "Get Out" thought it was very well thought out..a great story that slowly brings you along...a real old school suspenseful thriller/horror
9/10

Yeah I liked it to, though I'm nearly sure I seen it on Netflix last year, as very rarely would i use the computer to get films

I thought shape of water was excellent. The bad guy in it was seriously good at the bad guy role- you end up really hating him. Strange show alright but i thought it was good. Surprisingly funny in places.

The Iceman · March 06, 2018, 10:54:42 PM

Is the lead actress in the shape of water sick? She didn't look well at all at the Oscars and I looked her up online and she had more weight on her years ago.

Michael Shannon is one of the best actors in Hollywood. He was brilliant as the bad guy as such in Boardwalk Empire too.
