The "I just saw" thread

[mishkin]

Italy's having a resurgence in movies with some younger authors going into themes not common for us or even some crossover (i.e. horror/comedy). Can't say I watch many new movies in general, I'm more into series, you know the age when the comfort zone is the only thing that really matters.

I have two hard drives of movies to watch, and I'm usually rewatching .

betting my liver that ATL 80% of those are porn movies

[mishkin]

That's very sad and quite true.

Monkey Man (2024)

I was tired when I went to see it and it was quite hard to not fall asleep. At times it even felt like some kind of my vivid action dream.

Loks like and Indian John Wick

It snot bad, sometimes is even great, but I hope that Patel himself will remake it in ten years, when he has more experience.

Loks like and Indian John Wick

When you meet John Wick, he's a seasoned killer but Monkey Man gets beat up for money.



Land of Bad (2024)

It has a bit slow start but it gets quite thrilling.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Shogun

Brilliant.
Loved every moment of it.

Favourite characters:

Anjin-sama (for his swearing)
Toranaga-sama (for his schemes and hidden plans)
Mariko-sama (for her courage, dignity and beauty)
Yabushige-sama (for his humour)

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024)

I couldn't really feel the stakes because the heroes seemed too overpowered.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Supersex

Enticing & Surprisingly Complex... well, given the subject matter.
His family life resembles my own.
Had a few laughs & shed some tears during this.

The last stop in Yuma country if chatgpt made a movie scrip inspired by cohen brother and Tarantino. Some deja vue but more than decent from newcomer francis galluppi

Arcadian (2024)

I enjoyed this one. The nature of the creatures is like a combination of some wild dreams and they were the highlight of the movie for me.

I liked the movie quite a bit, but every time I saw the protagonist with his hair dyed orange I wondered why.

By the way, Mars Express, good movie, great soundtrack

Boy Kills World (2023)

It was fun to watch thanks to the comedic parts and brutal action.

[Kyriakos]

I watched Mars Express. Nice artstyle, but imo the story was a bit underwhelming

[mishkin]

Yes, there were some interesting stories but they lacked narration or explanation properly.
