Films like King Kong where shot in it. At 1.375:1, it's basically identical to classic TV's 1.33:1 (4:3) (which apparently is the same as the standard ratio for silent films before the Academy standard).

Muad'Dib 1,800 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I saw Rocketman yesterday and I thought it was generally very good, much better than Bohemian Rhapsody. However, what I want to talk about is this: When Richard Madden first appeared and started talking, my first thought was Oh my God, that's the reincarnation of Robert Shaw! The accent, the tone, the mannerisms! Now I want Richard to play Robert in a biopic so bad. I NEED IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah it is genuinely a better film. A lot of that has to do with the fact it's a very stylised and flamboyant take on biopic so any inaccuracies sort of don't matter.

Fancyarcher 350 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Toy Story 4 - Color me impressed, Pixar did it again. As someone who's a big fan of the previous three flicks, this might be my favorite film in the whole franchise. It's so nice, and wonderfully done. Everything with Woody, Bo-Peep, and Forky was terrific, and the ending was incredibly effective and emotionally satisfying. - 9.5 / 10 John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurmm 91 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I thought it was mostly a retread of past glories and the one interesting existential theme they introduced in this one... well it was interesting at first it soon becomes clear they never intended to tackle that in any depth and before long it's abandoned. Toy Story 1 is clearly the best. 2 is a lot of fun too. I loved 3 when it first came out but trying to watch it again just shows the magic was no longer there. Same applies here. Still, decent animated fun I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,984 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I actually watched the first three for the very first time this weekend. Enjoyed them all but it's not something I'll be revisiting. I was curious as to how the fourth one will come into play given that the last one pretty much ended the story on a pretty high note. Earlier today I watched the fourth one. It was...fine. Nicely made and mostly funny. But it wasn't as well paced as the previous three and didn't feel as heartfelt. Karol Chen G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Watched Bohemian Rhapsody the other night, and as a pretty big Queen (and Freddie) fan I thought it was good enough but sadly lacking the sort of depth and detail I'd been hoping for. It felt like lip service, far too quickly skimming over key parts of the band's many highs and lows, or just ignoring major dramas/highlights in their career completely - foregoing a maturer biographical insight for more of a 'greatest hits' Sunday newspaper supplement CD sellotaped to the front of the magazine. With that said, they did succeed in making an effective feelgood movie, with a really likeable lead performance; although I'll always wonder what kind of weight Sacha Baron Cohen might have brought to the part, regardless. Nonetheless, Rami Malek made it his own, by the end. In the film's second half, I essentially felt like I was watching Freddie Mercury. No mean feat. By slight contrast to my own positive with reservations reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody, my wife who isn't particularly a fan of Queen's music (or rock in general), thought it was absolutely fabulous, and she even cried. Which is probably mission accomplished enough for Brian May and Roger Taylor, who had toiled for twelve years to get the thing made. 3.5 out of 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Anima Paul Thomas Anderson's latest "music video" or "one-reeler" is a sumptuous 15-minute feast for the eyes. Conceptually, there isn't much that's new here (think: modern update on the 1984 narrative/aesthetic), but boy is it worth it to just see PTA have visual carte blanche. Choreography and cinematography are all aces. Too bad the music leaves you wanting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 2,032 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Toy Story 4 So yeah, it’s probably the weakest Toy Story film and one could argue 3 is a stronger ending to the series. But it’s still a whole lot of fun and beautifully animated, with some very touching emotional moments and great comedy. Felt like an epilogue to the original three films. Also Forky is one of the best animated characters in recent memory. Fancyarcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
