Oooooft.

Didn’t realise Upgrade had actually come out here. Just checked the Cineworld site and the only place they’re showing it in London is Enfield :expressionless:

Sorry guys, obviously it should say 7th September/14th September in the first post, I was clearly still half-asleep this morning

#11

Has Juliet, Naked been released in the UK yet? There’s a scene at the end where Ethan Hawke is the double of @Bamnan.

November

Cold War

Jeez, and I thought the characters in Succession were unlikeable.

#14

Ah well look out for a cameo from bam then

#15

Climax is utterly horrible but also kind of brilliant

Is this the film where they literally blew up Upton Park?

The trailer looks horrendous (brilliant).

Apparently so!

I’m sure it will be a great film, like all Sky Cinema Originals.

#19

  • Touch of Evil
  • The Trial (Welles does Kafka)
  • 2001 (seen before but also a 70mm print)

Today I saw Alpha and Searching.

Alpha is an odd one. It seems to have been released as a kids film (summer holidays release, mostly daytime screenings) but (a) it’s quite intense in places and (b) it’s all in some fictional ancient language and subtitled into English. Enjoyed it a lot, though. Just a nice, simple film. Good dog. Nice cinematography.

Searching was excellent. I don’t really want to say anything more about it because I think you need to go in essentially blind. But it’s really good. Definitely one to see in a halfway busy screen, as well.

Thought Searching was pretty good, though it maybe throws one too many twists into the mix. The opening few minutes got me a bit emotional as my mother died of cancer too. I fell for the red herring about Margot’s teacher that they have in the opening conversation between Margot and her father

i would say Touch of Evil

2001 would be amazing but it seems to be on at cinemas quite a lot

The Trial is decent but TOE is better
