Which Films have you seen lately? Certificate 18

[EvaDK]

I agree. The Empty Man loses a bit of steam in the second act; the prologue however could have been a terrific film in itself.

Two other recent really good horror films, are Censor and Saint Maud from the UK. Two quite different experiences and time periods, but they are both centered around a female protagonist trapped in a sort of existential crisis. Loneliness, guilt, faith - all of the usual suspects of the genre.

Borderlands was a pretty decent (low budget) recent UK horror

 

[Takhisis]

Anything to do with the borders is a UK horror these days.

Bruce Willis hangs em up. Aphasia per ex Demi Moore.

 

[EvaDK]

Yeah, it's sad to hear. I love Die Hard. I love Pulp Fiction. Twelve Monkeys. Unbreakable.

Thank you for giving us some unforgettable performances, Bruce.

Don't forget Moonlighting! I loved that show. I've no idea how it holds up today, but it had quite a moment.

Most think about Die Hard first, imo 12 Monkeys was a much better movie (masterpiece even if it had Brad Pitt, who always acts like all eyes on me aka he cannot really act ).

Kingsman: The Golden Circle.

A lot more of the first film, with some decent character interactions even if some were written out rather hastily. I liked it a lot, and am going to watch The King's Man prequel even though Wikipedia and all my friends who seen it all say it's really, really not worth it. Why not.

Pitt was nominated for an Oscar for that role. Love 12 Monkeys! The TV show was quite good as well.

I think that was from before my time.
When I sort of became aware of television, we were in the early 90s with X-Files, Twin Peaks, Seinfeld... I have very vague memories of watching episodes of shows like Dynasty, Miami Vice and Cheers. I was like 5 or 6 years old.

moonlighting is so old that Bruce Willis had hair while filming it .

You are begging for Oscar jokes then?

 

[Kyriakos]

12 monkeys likely was his (Willis') best film

I was born in 1985, which means Moonlighting is also so old, that I didn't have hair when they filmed it.

 

[lymond]

Sure

Pitt actually has 4 actor award noms and one win for best actor, as well as 3 producer noms and one win there for "12 Years A Slave". He is quite accomplished and I think he's seasoned well as an actor. For all awards around the world he as 216 nominations and 119 wins.

12 Monkeys (1995 film) was a masterpiece. One of my all time favs.

I did not know there was a TV show. I'm a little scared to watch it because I don't see how it could outdo the film.

I feel dumb admitting it, but I sort of want to see the new Top Gun whever it comes out.

Anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves.

Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar

Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go

Hiiiighwaaaay to the danger zooone
Riiide into the danger zooone

With Putin singlehandedly turning Russia back into the villain USians love to hate, a Top Gun reboot seems apropos. Hell at this rate, we're getting close to Rocky IV, reboot territory... with an Air Force One chaser.

 

[Farm Boy]

Well, that's a change from Encanto to be stuck in my head.
