    Watched both Palm Springs and The Worst Person in the World for the first time this month, two very different films about love but both super rewarding in their own ways!
    Also rewatched The Silence of the Lambs, which was one of my favourites when I was younger - still a masterpiece obviously, but somehow I found it way more viscerally disturbing that I did back then? Teenage me was hardcore in a way that current me is not lmao

    • @robertbrookes2000
      @robertbrookes2000 8 месяцев назад

      Silence (of the lambs) is golden. One of my favourite thriller/horrors out there. If you haven't check out Manhunter, which came before and is a slightly different take on the story Red Dragon (another in the Lecter series but not Hopkins), it's a bit 80s but I would say that in a good way.
      As for Palm Springs I've only seen it once, remember thinking it was okay, but didn't add that much to the time loop idea, then again I flip flop a lot on whether Andy Samberg is funny or not.

    • @robertbrookes2000
      @robertbrookes2000 8 месяцев назад

      While I too love the film, I actually found Mulaney one of the weaker elements, his voice is just too recognisable to me that it draws me out of the film quite a bit. (that is also the case for me when I rewatch Into the Spider-verse)

    Ever since i first saw sorcerer, every once or twice a year or so, i get the craziest hankering to rewatch it. Friedkin’s directing style is so raw and visceral, but in this unplaceable way. Everything feels hushed and disturbed. Sorcerer might be my favorite of his big 3.

    What I watched in September
    Whisper of the Heart - 5/5
    I really loved this one, the scene where the main character is unsure whether or not to write because she is not sure she is good and has no real experience, I deeply related to that scene as an aspiring young filmmaker, but with no experience. Everything in this film connected with me on a very personal level. Also I’m a hopeless romantic so the romance was great. Beyond
    The Dark Knight - 5/5
    What can I say, I’m a huge Christopher Nolan fan, a huge Batman fan, and a huge fan of all the actors involved. I love it. One of my new favorite films of all time.
    Princess Mononoke - 5/5
    I think this may be my favorite Ghibli and Miyazaki movie, I loved everything about it, from the characters to the story to the world it created. I’m a big fantasy guy and this was incredible. One of my new favorite films of all time.
    The Flash - 2.5/5
    I thought this was meh. I liked Michael Keaton, and one or two cameos were okay, but I was expecting something more. It was very slow and it felt like not much happened.
    Amadeus - 5/5
    A masterpiece of a period drama, I loved this one quite a bit and it’s probably in my favorites list now.
    The Dark Knight Rises- 4/5
    A lot of issues, but I still really enjoyed myself and it has some stand out scenes.
    The Bear - 5/5
    I finally finished this show and I love it so much. The characters are so realistic and relatable, the writing is so sharp and entertaining. And the cinematography and framing are brilliant.
    Howl’s Moving Castle 5/5
    I know it has some story issues, but this was a first time watch for me and I absolutely loved it. The animation was obviously gorgeous, the story was amazing, the.. aghw just everything about it. It was so comforting and warm and I just loved it.
    Cinema Paradiso - 5/5
    I know it is a bit predictable and doesn’t do anything new. But I loved it. I thought it was a beautiful film about film and I related to a lot of it. Most likely in my favorites.
    🔄Sabrina (90s) - 4.5/5
    Look. I know it is cliche, and formulaic, and not a stand out rom com, but ever since I saw this movie as a kid I’ve loved it, I don’t really know why, but something about it just connected with me, and I think it’s a pretty well shot film. And obviously Harrison ford is always a win.
    The Invisible Guest - 3.5/5
    A Spanish thriller I watched at a youth group. I enjoyed this one a lot, it was really small scale, not a big game changer, but a really fun, really entertaining thriller.
    Porco Rosso - 3/5
    A Ghibli movie that was okay. I didn’t have that many expectations, so I wasn’t surprised or disappointed, it didn’t blow me away, and it didn’t depress me. There’s some stuff I like in here, the aerial shots are gorgeous, some scenes are fun, Michael Keaton is good, but idk, I know it was short but it felt pretty long, and there wasn’t much going on and the ending was a little anti-climatic. Idk. I kinda like it, but I’m not passionate about it.

    Sorcerer is so great, and I think it definitely is even better on a second watch. The first act is kind of jarring and seems almost unnecessary, but once you see what Friedkin is doing, especially by the end, it becomes vital to set these guys up for their inevitable fates. A masterpiece.

  • @robertbrookes2000
    @robertbrookes2000 8 месяцев назад +1

    So, quite a few films for me this month with the majority being new:
    - Cobweb: On national cinema day I ended up seeing this as other films were sold out. Overall it was passable, some fun ideas and middling performances. The plot is pretty barebones, but as someone described it online, it's like a dark fairy-tale. If you think that going in I think you can have a good time. Some fun creepy moments throughout make it something I'd rewatch.
    - Murder on the Orient Express: Decided to rewatch the first two Branagh Poirot films in anticipation for the third. Think this faired a little better than my first watch. Still wasn't great though as Branagh's portrayal is such a departure from the character. The film making is also a bit hit and miss, some long shots work while others don't. But stuffing the supporting cast with big names helps a bit, Johnny Depp was better than I remembered so that was good, but Michele Pfieffer was worse imo.
    - Death on the Nile: Again, faired better than my first watch. Shame I'd forgotten Russell effing Brand was in it though, and watched it the day news about his t**tery came out. Aside from that the film was pretty solid. The locations are filmed nicely, the long shots work better here. And Poirot is a little more his book self only slightly. The mystery is done really well, with some good twist moments when you don't expect them. I did spot a few bad cases of ADR though throughout.
    - A Haunting In Venice: So now the new Poirot film. And this one was... alright? Poirot as a character is more reclusive and awkward which I approve of. The tone shift for a more horror based film is interesting and uses the setting well for it. Some performances are better than others, Tina Fey feels like she's overacting a bit. And some of the clues were a bit too obvious which did slightly spoil the twists. Also I know it wants to be dark, but sometimes I could barely see anything.
    - Possum: Gave this a go as it was on Prime. Should have been about an hour shorter. It started out this creepy psychological horror film, but got to a point where it felt so repetitive and tedious that I began to hate it. Shame too as it seemed to have a lot of potential. I wouldn't bother checking this film out. Maybe the short story it's based off is better? I cba to read it.
    - Men: I should've learnt my lesson with Possum. Another film with good potential, but gets so caught up with being artsy and pretentious that it becomes a meandering piece of crap by the end. Rory Kinnear's overacting and Jessie Buckley's open mouth gawking makes for a tough watch. Also for a film trying to say something on a woman's experience on abuse, maybe a man shouldn't have written the film? Shame too as there's some great cinematography for nearly all the film.
    - Megamind: This was on tv, and my Dad and I happened to watch it. Whilst I'm very familiar with the film he wasn't. We both had a great time. It was about as excellent as it always is. A fun animated film, a fun look at the concept of superheroes and villains. Just a joy from start to finish, easily the best film I watched this month.
    - Hallowe'en Party: I decided to check out the David Suchet tv special of this story, which I knew was the supposed story A Haunting in Venice was based off. And wow, these were two drastically different stories, even the victim was a different person entirely. While there was a little too much story crammed in and some slightly trippy camera shots, overall it was still great. Suchet was and will always be Poirot in my mind, he has the character down perfectly. Plus it got me more in the Halloween spirit than Haunting did somehow.
    - Saw II: I'd only seen the first saw before and Spiral, and despite knowing a lot about the rest (videos on certain traps in the series etc) I thought I'd have a go with the second entry. Pretty fun, I like the increase of victims stuck in an escape room like setting. But doesn't really come close to the story of the original, even if the tests and traps have been beefed up. And if I didn't know one of the end twists I would've been delightfully shocked, as is was still fun.
    I have also been rewatching the whole series of the BBC tv show Ghosts in preparation for it's final series (5) in October. Excellent comedy show that I highly advise to anyone, even if you're American and would probably enjoy the inferior US remake more. While the first two episodes are a bit different to the rest of the show, I would encourage you to at least watch the first series (6 episodes) if you can, it has so much heart behind it more people should take notice.
    Well done if you read my whole comment, sometimes I feel like I should make a video covering my thoughts each month.

    I’ll be honest, I didn’t have too many stand out movies I saw in September when compared to usual
    I continued watching through the Rambo movies with the bad 3rd one and decent fourth one. I preferred Hot Shots! Part Deux to both of them though unironically
    I watched some kitchen sink dramas in the form of Sweet Sixteen and Fish Tank which are films I wouldn’t normally watch
    I saw two classic rom-coms which I loved: When Harry Met Sally and Roman Holiday
    And I saw quite a bit from Wes Anderson. I checked out three of his films for the first time this month. The Life Aquatic was good but not a favourite of mine. The Royal Tenenbaums was fantastic. And The Grand Budapest Hotel was easily my favourite that I saw this month

    Last weekend [literally last day of the month] started watching through Hayao Miyazaki's filmography with a plan to then watch all of Isao Takahata's filmography before The Boy and The Heron comes out in December. I'm watching with someone, so right now we're only through Cagliostro [4.5/5] and Nausicaa [4/5]. I liked Nausicaa a lot more this time I watched it, though I still think I'm going to like Princess Mononoke more when we re-watch it. Super looking forward to the movies I haven't seen yet from Miyazaki [Totoro, Kiki, Porco Rosso, Ponyo] and looking forward to seeing Takahata's films beyond The Grave of the Fireflies [which I'm already dreading, that movie crushed me on first watch]. The other films I saw last month were They Cloned Tyrone [4/5], Lilo and Stitch again [5/5], The Hunchback of Notre Dame again [5/5], The Beauty and The Beast [3/5, fight me], and Barbie [6/5, more perfect for me than I thought a movie could be]. Lots of animation, lots of moving into a new apartment, lots of settling into a new job, lots of Toddlers & Tiaras [1/5, physically painful to watch, I'm not the only person in the house though] and Hell's Kitchen [3/5].

    I haven’t watched Pulp Fiction but heard good things about it and I’m aware the story isn’t told chronologically, which can work out fine, depending on how you want to tell the story. One day I’ll watch this movie. I don’t watch many Indie or “Arthouse” style movies, as the Arthouse ones in particular, don’t interest me as much as a lower budget movie or an Indie project. Not watched Bottoms because it isn’t my type of movie. I don’t watch many documentary films but I do sometimes watch the odd one on streaming but never at the cinema. Not heard of Sorcerer but I may check it out at some point and see how it is. Not heard of Poet Justice and didn’t know 2Pac was in any movies but nice to hear that he has a good performance in this. I may well check this out at some point. I haven’t seen You’ve Got Mail but heard it’s a pretty decent movie for the time it was realised. May well check this out one day. Heard Legally Blonde is quite good, so I may well check this out some day, along with the sequel. I didn’t watch Astroid City as I watched The French Dispatch last year and had a hard time with it, so I figured the Wes Anderson style may not be for me. Shall have to wait and see if I watch another one of his movies again. Not seem Sideways but I may well check it out at some point. Shall have to wait and see. I’m yet to watch The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar short film but I may well check it out at some point too, but as it’s Wes Anderson, it’ll take me longer to watch it. The Great British Bake-Off is always a fun show for me and I’m glad you think the same too. Thank you for your sharing your thoughts on movies that aren’t just the ones that were released at the cinema in September but other movies that have been previously released in general and some which I weren’t aware of before.

    What I watched this month:
    - Marry My Dead Body (Netflix, 8/10, really loved it - especially the ending)
    - Warlord of the Sea (6/10 was okay but very predictable and low budget)
    - Fake It Till You Make it (2023 series) 10/10 loved this! So many little details to pick up on. I really loved how they handled the break up of the obsessive bf couple on the bridge. I‘m used to seeing such men be portrayed as physically violent but I liked that it was shown that it was a psychological problem and that he needs treatment but they still separated.

    the last weeks i started watching your channel and i love it. i watch specially this videos of the best you saw in x month, and i wanted to make a "recommendation". it happens to me that a movie appear, i see the name and while you start talking about the movie i may became really interested in the movie, but before you start to talk about another movie, i just forgot the name of the movie to write it down and i have to put the video at the moment when the name appears, and it's a bit "annoying"?. i don't know, your videos are great, but i would recommend to you to put the name of the movie after passing to another. maybe this only happens to me, but i wanted to say it. i don't want to sound like a perfectionist or hater, it's just a though. thank you for the amazing videos
