Sweeping Strings 2,358 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 On adult childishness ... well, the Fourth Doctor quote in my sig sums up my thoughts nicely. 28 Days Later - animal rights activists inadvertently release a 'rage virus' (which drives those infected into murderous bloodlust) in their attempt to free chimps from a research lab, and it sweeps through the country. A small band of survivors hit the road in search of sanctuary and a cure. 19 years on, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's take on the zombie genre still packs a visceral and gritty punch. With Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Brendan Gleeson and Christopher Eccleston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad someone finally agrees that it looks simply unbelievable in 4K. That goes for A New Hope too, BTW. Nobody here has ever seen Star War like that, except for maybe me, Joe, Richard, or anyone else who is old enough to have seen it on the day the films were first released in theaters.

It's kind of a shame too...The first half The Conjuring is incredibly scary and well done, even if it's tropey. The use of practical effects are great. Almost walked out of the theater for the second one. Same with the Insidious films/universe. First half of the the first film is so unnerving in my opinion. Gets a little cheesy at the end.

bollemanneke 3,348 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Dear Frankie. The first half was quite touching and Emily Mortimer is really versatile, but then it had to degenerate into corny, terribly predictable romantic crap and sentimental lines. The ending is rather clumsy too and it’s all over way too quickly. Some score cues, particularly the opening one, were amazing and one or two songs were great too. Oh, and there was a girl playing a fiddle! I want to go to an Irish pub again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,348 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 The core. This was another re-watch and I still remembered how two scientists were going to die, but was still surprised how moving Serge’s was. Also, Stanley Tucci was Christopher Plummer in my memory. Wonder what accent he’s using here. Serge and Stickley were occasionally annoying and the hacker all the time while some of the lines were definitely trailer material, but all the actors were great. Delroy Lindo sounded familiar too, even though I’ve never seen him in anything else. The dialogue at the end is corny and I know it’s all scientifically inaccurate, but I don’t care. It was fun. The score is great and has some fantastic horn, trombone, guitar and choral passages. Why do we have to end with a song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see it for a long time, but @crocodile's frequent praises made me reevaluate it, and since then I've played it more than any other Young score. crocodile and bollemanneke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeping Strings 2,358 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Overlord - US troops parachute into occupied France in WW2 in order to take out a Nazi communications 'hub', but discover horrors that are much more than they'd bargained for. Probably the closest we'll ever get to a movie version of the Wolfenstein video games, this pretty gory action-horror moves at a fair old lick and is solid entertainment. On the 'why do we have to end with a song?', the hip-hop track that plays over part of Overlord's end credits was (for me) hugely unfitting and unwelcome. Was very glad when it ended.
