publicist 4,643 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 It was far from offensive, just one of the movies felt awfully wannabe - the huge 'Jaws 2' billboard really was the only thing i remember (and the actress/daughter was pretty good).

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Happy Potter And The Half-blood Prince David Yates should have directed a Bond film by now. He's the John Glenn of the Potter franchise. Stylistically it cribs the Cuaron film, but drains the colours. Its well shot through. It feels sorta drab and lifeless. A symphony of teen angst and dread. Hooper's score belongs in a BBC mini series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Glen... Yates's Potter films are not near as bad as internet geeks claim, but they also don't take many chances (the penultimate one is the best one by far). The achromatic look fits the stories - and besides Cuaron, the rest certainly wasn't any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Yates is visually competent, decent with actors, probably efficient and maintained a good atmosphere on set. Bland as fuck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I think i prefer Half-blood Prince, to either 2 mentioned above. I do like the dark visuals, and depressing tone. Preposterously spend as much time on teenage high school bullshit as on the mechanics of the apparently successful assassination of Dumbledore.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hannibal The new 4K transfer. I forgot how much of a Tony Scott film this feels like, specifically the opening credits and scene. Dark and disturbing like the original, but with a greater embrace of the operatic nature of the character, leading to some fun moments. It’s the Aliens to The Silence Of The Lambs’ Alien.
