Films

Glass Onion, not as good as the first but still a great watch and good fun. Janelle Monae is a worldy

The Menu - Christ cracking film

Triangle of Sadness
very good. Saw a comparison with White Lotus, which pulled me in. Kind of I guess in that it's a satire on the super rich. Has the best vomit scene since Team America.

The Menu - Starts of well but just doesn't really go anywhere. And the ending is the most brazen rip off I've seen in some time.

Halloween Ends - Cemented as one of my favourite Halloween films. Basically a remake of Christine with gen z angst.

Four Flies on Grey Velvet - A musician is framed for a murder after being stalked by a shadowy figure. He's taunted with calls and photos whilst going on a Poirot type investigation. Moves at a glacial pace but when it's good it's fantastic. Elevated by a gorgeous Morricone score.

Fantastic Mr. Fox - My son recognised Bill Murray's voice from Ghostbusters so that was nice.

Avatar 2: waterworld

Absolute nonsense story and far too long but wonderful 3D and special effects that make up for it.

7 cultural appropriations out of 10

The Northman. It s the joe Biden of this forum! Utter made for tv drivel claiming to be film = utter crap and a wind up!

Just watched this today, not what I expected. Once I seen what else the director has done it made a bit more sense. Would have to watch again.

Collateral - not seen it for a while. Cruise really is brilliant in this. I like Michael Mann, certain feel to his films.

White Noise

Turned it off after 15mins, utterly unbearable guff

Noah Baumbach & Adam Driver - you would have thought it would be bang on, but f*** me - just watch 5mins of it & you'll want to launch you telly out of the window.

The Worst Person In The World

Sublime. Norwegian film about a woman that never seems to see anything through & the whole thing is a pretty straightforward tragi-comedy following her life for 4 years that has one of the funniest mushroom induced scene ever committed to film.

Wouldn't be surprised if it took best foreign film at the Oscars.

Absolutely essential / 10

Assassin's Creed - Fassbender is decent but the film is a bit rubbish. Same scene over and over again.

Rambo III.

Even more pointless than the 2nd film. Mo Salah appears to be in it and Sly rocks a ridiculous mane.



no busters. shed load of killings.

4 blue lights out of 10.

I watched the Banshees of Inisherin - I was totally underwhelmed

The diy surgery in the cave was exquisite. 1, 4 & 5 in that order were great fun. 3 and especially 2 were shite. Whatsherface here was scrumptuous mind

Violent Night

Thought it was a family action movie so stuck it on for the lad to keep him busy while I worked in the kitchen

Took me a while to realise it wasn’t a family movie at all, by which time he’d already heard quite a few f***s, Beverly De Angelo told someone to “suck a d***” and one of the henchman was impaled by a giant Icicle.

We came to an arrangement that his mother wouldn’t hear of this or I’d cancel next Christmas.

I watched it later that night and tbf it’s a decent laugh.
