Sweeping Strings 2,357 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Sully and Apollo 13 - a Tom Hanks 'that could've been a tragedy' true-story double-bill last night. Sully is a typically solid Eastwood offering ... an interesting story, unflashily and economically told with Hanks as dependable as ever. But Apollo 13 takes it ... even thought we all know how it turned out, Ron Howard manages to create tension and suspense by skilfully shuttling between the in-trouble astronauts, their anxious friends and relatives and the NASA mission control bods desperately improvising solutions.

Holko 9,525 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Sweeney Todd - Hm. I liked it but it felt a bit like a big budget filmed stage production, some characters and the scale and the story structure didn't really feel that cinematic. And now that I read it was based on a stage musical and followed it faithfully, that makes total sense. Β Edward Scissorhands - didn't quite go in the direction I expected in the middle but that's no problem, I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeping Strings 2,357 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Kingsman : The Golden Circle - a little more bloated and indulgent than the first film, but there's still spy action funtimes to be had with this as Eggsy, Harry and Merlin take on Julieanne Moore's peddler of lethally-tainted recreational drugs with the help/hindrance of Statesman, their US 'brother' organisation. Covid has apparently delayed the release of prequel The King's Men until next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,342 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Phantom thread. Β I really liked the slow pacing. Vicky Krieps is annoying, though, and I might have found the ending much better had they cast someone without a foreign accent. Daniel Day-Lewis accepting his fate makes no sense to me either. His performance is fantastic, though, and I really felt for him right up until that final dinner scene. Lesley Manville is great and reminded me of a friend who most certainly would not appreciate to be associated with such a character. The score is a weird mix of pleasant and effective music, a repetitive main theme and cues that are sometimes utterly inappropriate and creepy. There are also a few moments of electronic low frequencies that are totally uncalled for. Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
