I Got Touched at the Cinema
Приєднався 1 січ 2023
Hi, I'm Ben Sherlock and I got touched at the cinema - not by a clown or a minister, but by the magic of film. Come along on a journey with me and I'll see if I can touch you too. New videos released every Friday.
Gladiator II Review: I Am Entertained
Gladiator II might not be Best Picture material like the first one, but it's a riveting blockbuster spectacle nonetheless. It doesn't surpass its predecessor, but it comes a hell of a lot closer than most legacy sequels.

Anora and the Slice-of-Life Cinema of Sean Baker
Переглядів 395День тому
I recently watched Sean Baker's Anora and absolutely loved it, and it was a timely reminder that Baker is one of the finest filmmakers working today. The best genre description you can ascribe to Baker's filmography is "slice-of-life." He's all about giving you an honest look into people's lives: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

This has been a pretty nightmarish month. I had a broken tooth, a horrific ear infection, and my house fell apart so I had to move back in with my parents while it was being rebuilt. But on the bright side, I watched some great films and TV shows!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show vs. Phantom of the Paradise
Переглядів 383Місяць тому
On Halloween 1974, 20th Century Fox released Phantom of the Paradise, a campy musical comedy lampooning the tropes and conventions of the horror genre. Less than a year later, the same studio released The Rocky Horror Picture Show, another campy musical comedy lampooning the tropes and conventions of the horror genre. But which campy mid-'70s horror musical is the better movie of the two? I GOT...

Where Have All the Good Comedies Gone?
Переглядів 762Місяць тому
Everyone loves a good comedy - everyone loves to laugh - so why does the comedy film genre seem to be as dead as Del Griffith's wife? There used to be a handful of new comedy blockbusters every year that everyone HAD to watch and everyone did watch: Anchorman, Superbad, The Hangover, Bridesmaids. But that seems to be happening less and less these days. I feel like I've seen this talking point c...
Joker: Folie à Deux Review - The Sequel You F**king Deserve
Переглядів 1,8 тис.Місяць тому
I was surprised by how much I liked Joker: Folie à Deux. I wasn't a huge fan of the first film, and based on the mixed reviews for the sequel, I was expecting another disappointment. But I actually really enjoyed this movie. I don't think people who loved the first film will enjoy this one all that much, but as someone who found the first film to be derivative and superficial, I found the seque...

Logan Revisited: Looking Back at Wolverine's Bittersweet Swansong
Everyone ignores the fact that Dave as a wrestler was the weakest performer compared to Dwayne and John and had far less charisma. He’s exceeding expectations because he set the bar so low, but he’s doing the same thing Dwayne did 20 years ago by dropping size to try and attract more diverse roles.
Actually, I like the honesty of this channel. Finally, someone is not trying to kiss Hollywood’s ass to be watched. Bravo 👏🏻 I’m subscribing ❤
Watchmen is great, Dawn of the Dead is really good, Man of Steel is very flawed but pretty good overall and his JL is interesting. The rest of his movies are bad or average at best.
Zack Snyder IS the 'cinematic Messiah' 😉🎞❤🛐❤ I do agree though that Rebel Moon should be at the end of the list.
Zack pack his way to the top director of all time
knock at the cabin made me fall in love with him even more. such a nuanced performance!
I'm so sick to death of Pedro Pascal. He is a good actor but in EVERYTHING these days and I'm just tired of him at this point. He needs to take a break for a few years and let the market saturation die down...
Whilst Army of the Dead was fine and Dawn of the Dead was surprisingly great, Man of Steel was straight up insulting to me as a massive Superman fan, and Rebel Moon Part 1 has been one of the only films in the last decade I actively gave up on an hour in. I just couldn't take how thunderously derivative and unengaging it was.
Great review. (We've been fans of Mr. Scott since his Chanel #5 commercial).
#RestoreTheSnyderverse
Remember that scene in the flash movie where he saves a baby from falling to its death by putting it in a microwave
I just rewatched the OG quadrilogy and I have to say, unpopular hot take but I genuinely enjoyed Alien Resurrection and unironically prefer it over *either* cuts of Alien 3. Even with the Assembly Cut, the third movie was plodding and dull, with no sense of fun or likeable characters and the third act was a giant mess that never seems to end. And what they do to Newt and Hicks at the start is tasteless and unforgiveable, whilst retroactively undermining the second movie!! 4 at least tried different things, had some smart and memorable scenes and interesting character dynamics. It's kind of like a proto-Firefly vibe with the mismatched space pirates etc. Also, I personally liked the strange human emotions of the hybrid at the end, and the look of confusion and betrayal as its own mother destroys him. Also, it was mercifully short and not stretched out.
I still think 1999 was the peak of human society to be honest, or culture at least. The 90s were the last decade if you think about distinct fashion trends, music styles, film & TV aesthetics etc.
Have you seen a boxing channel on UA-cam called hatman strikes back? He also randomly does a review of the matrix specifically the religious symbolism :)
Incredible video mate! I love when someone reframes art in a new way for me, it means I get to go back and enjoy it again with a whole new perspective.
Thanks buddy, I'm glad you liked it! I love that too, I had that feeling when I watched the longer version of The Shining and realised it's all about alcoholism
Deserve more views. Great title great thumbnail, well written well recorded.. I’ve ran several channels and I’d love to know how you’re doing your tags and such because I feel you need only a small wave and your subs will start flooding in. Best of luck I’m sure ittl take off
Damn even the descriptions are class.. why are you at 2k subs this is 100k plus work
You're very kind! I'm hoping all those extra subs will start rolling in soon 🤞 as for tags I don't really know what I'm doing, I just input random keywords until the character limit runs out. I'd love some advice on tags if you have any!
7:02 aaaand there's your dislike
Loved it. I agree, the best UK comedy of all time. :)
1. Skyfall 2. The Living Daylights 3. Goldfinger 4. Dr No 5. Casino Royale or Goldeneye
Anyone who doesn’t have The Living Daylights in their top 5 is absolutely mad. It has everything a good Bond movie should have
No it isn't, this is just revisionist bullshit.
Damn, sounds like a bad month, bro! Keep well. *The Batman* - Overly long, with a massive anti-climax given the movie sets Batman up to be the World's Greatest Detective but cant solve a basic riddle that the audience is screaming through the screen at him and then the friggin Penguin of all people has to tell him the answer before the arch nemesis just hands himself in without Bats having to outsmart him in any way... Such a letdown. (Also Pattinson looks so scrawny that I think even I could take him down so that didn't help either!!) *Modern Family* - My all time favourite sitcom Not a single episode made that doesn't elicit at least one belly laugh from me even in later seasons, and they all really do feel like a proper family. *Joker: Folie à Deux* - Glad you liked it, but yh, one of the most laborious slogs of recent years imo. *Boy Kills World* - Kind of like Kick-Ass meets John Wick, but something was missing from this, wasn't as fun or as humorous as the premise and script seemed to promise. Cant put my finger on it but was sadly quite forgettable. *Young Frankenstein* - We all watched this as a family last Xmas. Defo a little dated now. There's about 3 really funny sequences but they are spaced between half hours of flat tediousness. *Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa* - NOW THIS is one that still holds up! No matter how many times I watch this I am howling all the way through! Not really much of a Partridge fan but this movie was so smart and witty; endlessly quotable, and the losing-his-trousers-in-the-window sequence almost made me have a hernia! xD
1984 Dune still better... New Dune is colorless and the acting is like a Lumber Yard.
Who came here through the baby raindeer rabbit hole?
Hope you’re feeling better.
You're very kind! I am feeling much better now thanks!
"as wet as an eagle" and "swan and ped0" are my fave classics
Such an epic show, incredibly funny. Mark, Jez, Superhanz, Big Suze, Sophie, Johnson… so good.
Name 1 good "the rock" film ??? I can name 10 shit 1's..
I love this film ❤
Me too!
I haven’t even watched this video yet. But it is absolutely wrong. Peep show is awesome, but we have such a rich comedic history that is just cannot get into that upper echelon. IMO that is, I’m not one of those “I HAVE THE OBJECTIVE TRUTH” people.
This is my favourite movie. My second favourite is The Cable Guy.
Cable Guy is so good!
@igottouchedatthecinema a man of culture.
Is no one going to talk about how the music in this show was produced by Daniel Lopatin... the guy who literally INVENTED VAPORWAVE...
I'm pretty clueless when it comes to music, is vaporwave a genre?
I like both but for different reasons.
Me too!
I'll never forgive orange if they've wiped the twins
They turned funf zwei years ago so what? Pair of eighters I reckon
I saw Phantom yesterday in the theatre for the first time. Can't believe I slept on it for so long!
I've never seen it in a cinema! It must've been great
@@igottouchedatthecinema It was amazing. A friend hired a cinema for their birthday to watch it.
Boogie Nights is my favorite. But I could see arguments for TWBB, The Master, and Phantom Thread as being his best.
I think Boogie Nights is definitely the most entertaining
Do we have to choose...? I refuse, love them both...
You don't have to choose! There's nothing wrong with liking both (I like both too!), I just thought it would be fun to compare the two
@@igottouchedatthecinema I figured as much. I was lucky enough to live near an old movie theatre that showed amazing double and triple features..Phantom and RHPS were a common pairing, sometimes with Tommy and Rock and Rule or Heavy Metal. One of the COOLEST combos was Litzomania with Cabaret....Damn I miss places like that..
That sounds amazing! I've never actually seen a double or triple feature but they all sound like great pairings. I loved Tommy!
The Rock USED to try, but now n days he just plays himself, Cena while he does try, he only has a a couple of specific niches that he can pull of successfully. Batista is alot more well rounded of actor. I'd much rather see a movie with Batista in it, than a movie with either of the former two in it.
10/22/2024. [Zissou] I want this name for a Scrabble Board. Many points.
That would be a really good Scrabble answer but aren't proper nouns not allowed in Scrabble?
Sorry, not sorry, but I always find Mimic underrated. I know I'd rather watch that than various others on this list. And I've seen all but one of them.
That's fair! I don't dislike Mimic, I really enjoy the director's cut, I just liked all his other films more
Nice video.
Thanks!
You are again ignoring and not fixing your mistakes. Disappointing.
You'd need to point out the "mistakes" first surely? What are you referring to?
@@SarcasticPlotRecaps 2 weeks ago he posted another article on Screenrant about Jack. He claimed that in the original script Jack was the pilot. That's just wrong and I have no idea where he got that idea from. If he had read the script, he wouldn't have written that. I sent him an email 11 days ago. No response. No correction.
@@SarcasticPlotRecaps See... he's even posting here in the comments and yet he doesn't respond. I don't get it.
I've changed the article (I read somewhere Jack was a pilot in the original script but I guess that was wrong). Do you give other writers this much grief or just me?
@@igottouchedatthecinema I'm not giving you grief. I was pointing out that you made a mistake. You are getting paid for this work and then you don't even bother to read the script. That's what's so disappointing. Why not put in the effort? Do something new.
thank you for this video
You're very welcome!
1. Pan's Labyrinth 2. Pinocchio 3. Hellboy II: The Golden Army 4. Pacific Rim 5. The Devil's Backbone 6. The Shape Of Water 7. Cronos 8. Hellboy 9. Nightmare Alley 10. Crimson Peak 11. Mimic 12. Blade II
I see we agree on the top 2! I think I need to watch Pacific Rim again, I haven't seen it in a few years
I thought they should’ve brought Bob in when Steve left
That would've been much better than just turning Andy into Michael 2.0
Best comedy I’ve seen that went under the radar was Brian And Charles. The problem is it’s achingly British, and it made me cry (you cannot use Where Does The Time Go and expect me to stay dry eyed).
I'll have to check it out! I do love that guy from After Life
7:21 Don’t Worry Darling is the Red Dwarf episode Better Than Life with tradwives. The Dwarf version is shorter and funnier.
Brilliant show and episode!
@@movieclipsvideos1781 it’s not Backwards, but it’s up there
I've only seen a few episodes of Red Dwarf, I really need to finish it!
nice work, man
Thank you!
Thanks for the movie recommendation. Some of these films I am hearing about for the first time
I hope you enjoy them!
I clicked on this half expecting another "ITs BeCaUsE NoBODy CaN TaKE A jOKe anYMoRe" type of video but was delighted by this analysis. I definitely agree that streaming is killing the comedy genre, among others (I personally think horror is suffering also, just not as drastically as comedy) Your recommendations were awesome, and I'm excited that there were some I've seen and plenty I haven't that are definitely going on the list. Great video <3
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video. Hopefully you'll enjoy the recommendations too! And I agree, the horror genre is suffering too. Horror films translate well internationally so they're still doing better at the box office than comedies but streaming has definitely allowed horror directors to get lazier (pretty much every original horror film on Netflix is awful)
