Essential Coli-members what's the last thing you watched?

[TheNatureBoy]

Really good film with one of the best emotional endings I've seen in a while.

 

[Danie84]

...I expected more thrills

 

[TheNatureBoy]

I liked the buildup more than where things ended with the film.

 

[daemonova]

a rough but no nonsense story about two on the spectrum neighbors looking for a missing woman. It tells the story it want to tell, 7/10

Malin Ackerman getting older but still hot

 

[Danie84]

...this is a Syfy flick with big names in it

 

[Lootpack]

Heavily fukked with this one, Mirren was such a bombshell back in the day. Ari couldn’t shut up about it being one of his favorites and I definitely picked up on the influences, be it from the scene transitions, production design, and general uneasy vibe of “anything can go” in the story.

I like how much it doesn’t give a fukk though. It seems to embrace the fact it’s a repulsive flick with no regard of holding anyone’s hand. But I don’t know whether I’m more amazed at the audacity of the depravity on-screen or the amount of dialogue Gambon had to take on. Once he starts talking, he really doesn’t ever seem to stop.

Hypnotic visuals, great score, and an ending that just sticks with you. I’ll be on a mission to check out more of Greenaway’s stuff, dude is incredible.

This is a psychological thriller, instead of str8 horror, the kills are just a means to an end like Denzel Washington's Fallen (ugh )

So as you probably already figured out, this yet another reworking of Silence of the Lambs, like Long legs. Where that movie took Clarise's apathetic personality and made it completely nonreactive, This goes the opposite way and makes her impulsive and impatient (some would say a whole bytch) just threw Brie Larson's whole personality in the trash.

So you follow the trail of a copycat killer, relive an overdose of flashbacks, all to comeback to a killer you figure out in the first ten minutes.

There is a bit of messiness and a third act twist that makes it worth checking out on Starz, plus the lead doesn't look too bad wearing tank tops 7/10

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

LIke Le Femme Nikita but rising sun fukkery

 

[BlackAchilles]

It was a vibe

A podcast I listened to was talking about this film. Maybe Trial by Content.

Didn't know Robbie Williams was that famous. I hadn't heard of him prior to the movie, but the idea to depict him as a chimp really works as they tell his life story which has a lot of the trappings you would expect from a pop star dealing with fame and family issues.

 

[Crizzy]

Decent movie

 

[CapitalOne]

Heat
The Irishmen
Sicario

 

[daemonova]

The first organic bonfire hit of the year.

What makes it interesting is decisions made in the second and third act that most of us would not have made.

A family moves into their dream house and finds that the drag its on is accident prone. In a perfect world, the local municipality would have bought the property and fixed the street but hey bureaucracies.

The film exposes what we already know about the everyday. He only marries so he can have the sex. He only procreate because he wants his name to live on. He wants his freedom to try new things, to be master of his surroundings. The lure of the macabre becomes too much to overcome.

8/10

 

[LordDeathwatch]

Just saw this at a drive in, was pleasantly surprised. It avoided so many typical tropes and for the obvious story beats, they were executed with so much more heart that they hit as intended. Lawrence was great but that's a given.

8.5/10
