Saw Dune on Saturday night.

As cinema experience I was pretty blown away. Picture and sound were incredible in imax.

In terms of the movie itself, I thought it was okay. Found it a little slow paced and towards the end it started to drag.

I saw Arrival in the cinema and it was amazing, so I can well believe Dune would be even more outstanding. I know Villeneuve himself says he wants people to see it in the cinema so they can experience it properly, and for once I donā€™t doubt he actually means it, as opposed to it being narcissistic marketing bobbins.

The problem I have, though, is I donā€™t think Iā€™m comfortable with going back to a cinema yet. Iā€™ve seen a lot of people say the first 2/3rds of the film is amazing but the last 1/3rd drags, and with a running time over 2.5hrs, which will probably mean over 3hrs sitting in the cinema when you add waiting and trailers and adverts, thatā€™s a long time to be sitting. With a draggy last 1/3rd, thereā€™s every chance Iā€™d fall asleep :grimacing:

I have, I think, talked myself into waiting for the Blu-Ray now.

Going to see it in IMAX tomorrow. Been a while since we had a really good cinema release (free guy probably?) so looking forward to this one

Last Night in Soho is cinemas at the end of the month, I believe.

(Obviously havenā€™t seen it yet, but itā€™s Edgar Wright so itā€™s got to be good.)

Bond is awesome!

I always find films for Halloween disappointing, maybe Iā€™ve become immune to being shocked and scared.

I watched the remake of papillon on Netflix this evening.
It was actually decent especially since I havenā€™t seen the original.

Not psychological horror but a dark film that just popped into my head to try is The Lobster

Then try his The Killing of a Sacred Deer which I would say is psychological horror.

I actually watched the lobster last night.

I agree itā€™s not really a horror and doesnā€™t have any jumpy parts that leaves you on your seat but it is a slightly dark and kinda decent film

Worth a watch of The Killing of a Sacred Deer if you like his directing.

That again isnā€™t jumpy itā€™s more :frowning_face_with_open_mouth: :face_with_hand_over_mouth: unsettling

Ive just noticed a new one is out next year called Poor Things

Free guy has been my favourite film this year I think. Great action, also genuinely funny, and a cool plot.
