The only French movie I ever watched
by JustHatched- 2 replies
- 966 views
Rose and I watched a French movie tonight called Le Rafle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Round_Up_(2010_film) I was all sub titled which I usually will turn the channel rather than read the tv, but I was to lazy to get the remote and after a little bit we were both interested in it, it is quite the story about French Jews getting rounded up by the Nazi's. I am into WW2 history, though generally I don't research the Holocaust stuff but this is a good movie if this is your interest.

And on the same subject... What is your favorite Video Game that was made in to a movie(s)? In my case, my favorite movie or movies has to be Resident Evil (not the last one). I liked most of them -- spent more times watching the films over and over again then actually playing the games!... My favorite Video Game franchise that was made in to a couple of movies was Tomb Raider. I finished most of the TR games starting with the first one in 1996!...

What I Watched This Week #165 (Feb 24-March 2) Fast Five dir. Justin Lin/2011/2h10m Vin Diesel and the boys are back again, this time pulling off a huge heist in Rio after Dom gets busted out of prison. All the while they are being pursued by government bounty hunter The Rock (I forget his characters name, but it doesn't matter, he's The Rock). This feels like a watershed moment for the series as it seems to really let go of the fairly grounded in reality first film (where their big crime was stealing DVD players) to the utterly nonsensical action packed spectacle that it's now known as. I actually had a lot of fun with this one. The sunny, exotic location made it feel fresh - as it did in Tokyo Drift, honestly, LA is such an ugly and sh*tty city - and there are some inventive set pieces, like the scene where a giant bank vault is dragged through the streets by Dom and Brian (Paul Walker). None of the performances really stand out, but they are all sincere and I actually believe that these people care about one another, as two dimensional as they are. I think this is my favourite one so far. 6/10 Borderlands dir. Eli Roth/2024/1h41m Adapted from the popular video game series, Borderlands the film is sh*t. I will not waste any time or energy elaborating further, just trust me, even Cate Blanchett can't save this bucket of dog vomit. 1/10 Assault on Precinct 13 dir. John Carpenter/1976/1h31m This early film from John Carpenter - only his second - tells the story of a heavily armed gang laying siege to a decommissioned police station with a skeleton staff and a couple of prisoners left to transport out as revenge for a SWAT team ambush that killed several of their members. Austin Stoker is Ethan Bishop, the patrolman who takes lead in the situation alongside criminal Napoleon Wilson (Darwin Jostin), the two making for a pretty good duo. This has the feel of a cheap b-movie or exploitation film from the era, but is elevated by Carpenter's skill in ramping up the tension through his direction. Like he would later in Halloween, here he uses shots of empty rooms and hallways to great effect, suggesting that danger could be hiding anywhere just out of sight. 7/10 Up dir. Pete Docter/2009/1h36m Ed Asner plays Carl Fredrickson who, at 78, feels that he has missed out on the adventures that he and his late wife Ellie dreamed of going on but life always got in the way. Now that he is being forced to leave their home of decades to go into care he decides to take action and attaches thousands of balloons to his house so that he can fly it to South America, inadvertently bringing along a stowaway in young boy scout Russell (Jordan Nagai). This is a very good film but it peaks with the opening montage of Karl and Ellie growing up together, where we witness the joys and heartbreaks of their lives without need for dialogue. Pixar usually get me all teary eyed by the end of their films, but this is the first time they got me in the opening, it really is extraordinarily beautiful. Honestly, after that the rest of the film kind of feels like filler. Really good filler, but filler nonetheless. I find Russell to be rather annoying as a side character, but it is funny to see Karl's frustration at him, something I could relate to. It never regains the emotional highs of the first five minutes but this is still a fun watch. 8/10 The Rounders dir. Charlie Chaplin/1914/13m This early Chaplin sees him star alongside another famous comedian of the time, Rosco 'Fatty' Arbuckle (it's funny that a man who was considered so fat that his nickname was Fatty in 1914 wouldn't even turn heads today), as two drunken toffs staying at a hotel with their wives. They argue with their wives, sneak off, and get even more drunk, and that's about it. Very basic but Chaplin plays a very good drunk - see his later film One AM, which is a masterclass in physical comedy - so it's always funny to see his fall on his *ss. This is like all of his other film from this early, they would be forgettable without Chaplin but he's the magic ingredient. 5/10 The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf dir. Han Kwang-il/2021/1h23m Set in the same fantasy world as The Witcher videogames - all derived from a series of Polish fantasy novels - this animated film tells the story of Vesemir (Theo James), a Witcher - monster hunter. The film tells the story of his youth and a plot to do something about a king and to be honest I found it very convoluted and confusing. This feels like several books worth of plot stuffed into one film. The animation is nice and crisp, but at times that's to its detriment as this is a dark, dirty and dangerous world so something more ragged and raw would have been a better fit. There's some great creature design here, and some things I actually recognised from playing the games, but this feels like a film made for experts on this world. 6/10 All We Imagine as Light dir. Payal Kapadia/2024/1h58m The debut film from Payal Kapadia, this Mumbai set drama focuses on the life of nurse Prabha (Kani Kusruti) who is forced to re-evaluate her life after receiving a gift - a rice cooker - from her estranged husband working in Germany who she hasn't even spoken to in over a year. This relationship - an arranged marriage - is contrasted to that of her young housemate and fellow nurse Anu (Divya Prabha) who is in a relationship with a Muslim so she has to keep it hidden. Where Prabha was forced into a loveless relationship, Anu is forced out of a loving one. With the plot taking a backseat this is a film all about character, and the incredible performance from Kusruti had me hooked throughout. This is also a beautifully shot film, amazing since it's Kapadia's first, with a real soft texture to the light that bathes these women, especially in the beach set finale. This was named Sight and Sound's best film of 2024, a year with some really good films, but after watching it it's hard to argue with that. 9.5/10 Lime's Film of the Week!- 2

Woman of the Hour (2023) dir Anna Kendrick. Based on real life events from the 1970s, Anna Kendrick directs and stars as would-be actress Sheryl. Unable to get any decent acting work her agent gets her on TV game show “The Dating Game” (aka “Blind Date” in the UK), where she will choose a man to go on a date with by asking 3 of them questions they answer from behind a screen. One of the would-be suitors, Rodney Alcala (Daniel Zovatto), is a serial r*pist and murderer. We know this because apart from the film's promotional material telling us, it makes clear what he is very early on, before we even meet Sheryl. About half of the story takes place during the live broadcasting of the show, but this is intercut with scenes of some of Rodney's crimes, some from years in the past and some maybe yet to happen. It deliberately does not say where in the timeline Sheryl's story occurs. All we know for sure is that at least some of Rodney's crimes have already been committed. I really liked the aspect of how it's not a linear story. You are left not knowing if Sheryl's is going to go on a date with Rodney and if she does what will happen to her. Is she his last victim? Is she the one who gets him arrested? Are there many more crimes to come? I see on IMDB there are a lot of haters who criticise it's “historical inaccuracy”. But it's not a history documentary. It's a film based on a true story. And I think it is done in a very powerful way. As well as Sheryl we meet other victims. We also meet Laura (Nicolette Robinson), the friend of one of those victims trying to get the police to take listen to her. I found it very harrowing at times. There is no really graphic violence, but you are left in no doubt as to what sort of things this monster did to his victims and the pain and terror they experienced. The acting it very good, especially Zovatto and Autumn Best as another of his victims. I'm really glad I chose to watch this, because I had seen it promoted on Netflix a number of times and based on how they described not realised what it was. I don't really know why but I had got the impression it was a sort of dark comedy. It's definitely dark, but absolutely no comedy. And I certainly did not know it was based on a true story. 9 / 10- 2

Get your team in the Titan 250D. Head north. The Titan is one of the vehicles to deliver, so take good care of it. As you pass by over the Iron Mule I suggest as least two teammates, maybe even 4* jumps out. The Iron Mule has a important job, to steal the Packer. But the Iron Mule is also one of the vehicles to deliver, so take good care of it as well. Once the Packer is set free and good to go, you need to drop of at least one driver for the Packer, maybe even 2*. The Packer then needs to pick up the Tanker. The Tanker and the Packer are both vehicles to deliver, so take good care of them. The fifth item to deliver is the AA-Trailer, the problem is that you have no truck to haul it. * Thats why its always good to keep a extra playser with you, in case you spot a Bison, Bobcat XL or Sadler that can do the job. You may also save some time if you can steal a Packer, Hauler or Phantom of the streets instead of using the Iron Mule to get one. You might want to use the Iron Mule to pick up the AA-trailer, and that could work if you can get it out of the shed. I suggest you drop off any players not needed for the first 4 vehicles to search for a Sadler, Bison or Bobcat XL. https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/job/gtav/UZzYmyusmESI08__jnDkfQ
