This looks like an epic film and I'd love to see it. However, I am highly claustrophobic and have seen trailers that show men trapped in planes underwater (drowning is another one of my phobias) so I don't know if I can handle watching it. The first time I saw Titanic, I had pressure in my chest from a rising panic attack that was so severe it felt as if I was in chest-deep water like Jack and Rose. I still have trouble getting through the scene when he's handcuffed in the purser's office (or wherever.) So, are there many scenes in Dunkirk that show underwater or claustrophobic situations, or do you think I can get through the movie without freaking out?

I would say that if you have an issue watching drowning, you probably wouldn't be able to make it through the film. A lot of it is filmed to purposely make you feel claustrophobic and like you're in the situation with the characters.

The Deadwood movie was so good. It was like going back home and seeing old friends again that I haven't seen in forever and picking things up like it was just yesterday when we last saw each other. You break out your best peaches and catch up over drinks, but like all good things it must come to an end, so you sadly say your goodbyes. Deadwood, it was nice seeing you again. You looked good, much to the thanks of Janie Bryant and many others. Now that you're catching up with the times I'll be waiting by one of those magical boxes with voices in 'em, telephones I think they're called. Hope to see ya again a little farther down the line.

I hit Cineworld first thing on New Year's Day to get this month's monies worth out of my Unlimited Card. First up was A Monster Calls, based on the Patrick Ness/Siobhan Dowd book. Shame on me, I haven't read it, it never really seemed like something I would want to read. Even after seeing it I can't tell you if I enjoyed it or not. For those of you who saw My Sister's Keeper you'll be able to identify with the reaction in the cinema. There were under ten of us in there, and all you could hear was sniffing. I would imagine that if you could have seen everyone there would have been sleeves pulled down to wipe tears away.

Oringal Sci-Fi classic

Close Encounters of the Third Kind- takes elements from the thing from anethor world, the war of the worlds and many other sci-fi movies and mix them all togther and the outcome is a excellent movie, directed by one of the great directors of all time- Steven Spilberg.

The Plot: Science fiction adventure about a group of people who attempt to contact alien intelligence. Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) witnesses an unidentified flying object, and even has a "sunburn" from its bright lights to prove it. Roy refuses to accept an explanation for what he saw and is prepared to give up his life to pursue the truth about UFOs.

This is a must watch and must see film.

This will my last review until next Monday- September 2nd. Im taking a little break. So no reviews all of this coming week.

Ready or Not will make you questoning things, the end expectally will make you questioning things. I wont go into spoilers.

The plot: Grace couldn't be happier after she marries the man of her dreams at his family's luxurious estate. There's just one catch -- she must now hide from midnight until dawn while her new in-laws hunt her with guns, crossbows and other weapons.

Its a mixture of clue, the hateful eight, game night, escape room, cube and the saw franchise.

I would wait for it to come out on dvd, their is no rush to see it.

Yesterday, I saw the movie based on the series of short story collections that inspired future makers of horror. It affected me so deeply that I decided to skip a Rifftrax screening. The actual film collects multiple horror tropes: haunted house, creepy hallways, reanimated corpses, spiders, supernatural serial killer, books. Most of the stories startle, but never terrify. The creature designs are phenomenal. The ending is kind of a letdown after all the thrills. However, one story completely disturbed me. Not the story or the creature, but the style. It used a lot of anticipation and narrative, but never showed much of the horror. It just built up tension and had one huge scare leading to a horrifying "ending" for one of the characters.

Wow.

I get why people think it's fantastic. I get why people think it's shit. I'm somewhere in the middle. Even though I'm a fan of non-linear storytelling, the film was still all over the place and the method didn't really serve a purpose to me. Plus, it definitely suffers from "why the fuck did they do that" syndrome and I was scratching my head a fair amount of times. That being said, it does wrap up really nicely at the end, and there's not a single performance in here that isn't elite. I really did enjoy myself, and it's one of my favorites of the year, but also saw the potential for a far better film, which leaves me a bit unsatisfied.
