What Films Have You Seen Recently?

That'd be me. Thanks for watching!

You know... the relation to Berserk had never occurred to me, but you're right; there are definitely many similarities to be found.

By the way, your writing just keeps getting sharper and sharper. I think you've already surpassed at least 90% of native speakers' writing chops.

Man, all you guys are watching all these fancy new movies 😁.

I watched a lot of classics recently in Hotels.

I ended up watching an aliens marathon at a hotel prior to my travels, except they didn't have the SECOND FILM for some dumb reason. But yeah, I sat there and watched 1,3, resurrection, avp 1 and 2, prometheus, covenant, predator AND the predator.

They must just thrown in the predator movies just because, but I didn't complain.

Then a Diehard marathon came on during my travels and I watched Diehard 1-3 before falling asleep one of the nights 😆.

That was a rough morning.

neon1 I'm probably going to watch Madame Webb in the next couple of weeks so I will let you know what I think.

Sounds like it could be interesting at least!

Yeah def too many super hero films ran with the humour thing too much. I like it when it's done well, but I don't want every film to be like that.

I would say one good thing about films in general in maybe the last 10 years is they are less predictable in their stories. Sometimes that can be unsatisfying but it is nice to be surprised again. On the negative side - too many 18 films are being made as 15 films (or whatever the equivalent film-rating system is in the US)

pimsbury Which Alien film did you most enjoy when you saw (almost) all of them in one lot? In recent years I have often ended up watching Resurrection because I have seen the other ones too much!

I've seen a couple of "Horror" films recently.


The Arcadian (2024 Nicholas Cage film)



This is what I would call "A Quiet Place" monster-type film (there seem to be a lot of them now!) - except no one needs to be quiet. The monsters just come out at night instead. It was ok, although Nicholas's Cage's older son really annoyed me because he kept doing really moronic things that put everyone else's life in danger. It got pretty crazy at the end which I liked. The monsters joined together in a big monster "wheel" and followed their car! (not a spoiler). 6/10


Night Swim (2024)



I wanted to stop watching this after 20 mins. It was clear by this point it was going to be a film about a haunted swimming pool - which seemed like a very boring idea for a film. But I'm glad I kept watching because it actually got a lot more interesting as it went on. Still kind of crap but at least it didn't just rip off "A Quiet Place". 5/10
