I enjoyed it but it was obvious it wasn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. I think the success it is enjoying is because there aren't that many great films around.

If you don't like super heroes(some of us dont) then its either those brilliant animated cartoons made for kids or stick to tv series. That said,the foreign language films tend to throw up a few gems if you do some research.

Kingsmen 1&2.

8/10. Decent easy to watch action/spy movies. 

[Paul]

The Way, Way Back - boss little coming of age film with a cracking cast. 8/10

 

Phantom Thread - beautiful looking film about obsession/perfection with an incredible score by Johnny Greenwood. 9/10.

Yes, I liked the portrayal of seeing her world through her eyes. Then suddenly seeing it as it really was. Similar to The Father.

[Total Longo]

The Batman - Quite incredibly dark and quite incredibly long. It's never going to live up to the Nolan trilogy but it was good enough. Definitely the most "detective Batman" Batman movie. 7.5/10

 

Blade Runner (in 4K) - Quite incredible, i've seen it about 25 times anyway but in 4K it's simply jaw dropping, even more so for a 40 year old film. 10/10  

[Paul]

Baked In Brooklyn - 8/10. Great little comedy/drama/kind of coming of age film. 

[RedKnight]

The Batman - No spoilers but thoroughly enjoyed this. Liked that they used a Seven/horror inflected tone for the atmosphere around Gotham and for Batman himself. Liked the approach of Batman doing the detective stuff and it being mostly him on the screen rather than Bruce Wayne. Was probably too long and the ending set-piece could probably have been left out but Pattison, Farrell and Kravitz were all terrific. Not the best Batman movie but a really good one. 8 out of 10.

The Devil All The Time - 9/10.

 

A brilliant film looking at the lives of a variety of folk in small town American after WW2. It sticks really closely to the book - so much so it's actually narrated by the author himself.

Batman 7/10

 

I thought it was OK. Dragged towards the end and the while film was too dark far me. I don't know if my eyes are going but there were times I couldn't make out facial expressions as it was so dark

[Paul]

Roxanne - still funny and entertaining. 8/10.  

[Scooby Dudek]

Batman 7.2/10

 

Massive Batman fan and I always over think during the film. Seemed long and slow but never dragged and I enjoyed the darkness of it. Impressed by all the main characters and the guy playi g the riddler was really good. End sent piece was a bit of a let down for me. 

 

Need to watch it again, can't remember much from the middle of the film, which is either a really good but bad sign.

Mowgli on Water Street. Should have made it a 15/10 tbh. 

[polymerpunkah]

"The Ascent"

 

Soviet-era, WWII-set drama examining the nature of collaboration during war.

 

Not as harrowing as "Come and See" but affecting in it's own way.

 

Beatiful film, in B+W.

It's a fractional number, in this case two-tenths, denoted by a decimal point which separates it from the integer.

Honestly wasn't interested in this, but that sells it for me.

"Blinded by the light" on BBC4 last week, I loved it. Obviously I'm biased being a big Springsteen fan and exactly the same age as the main guy. I also spent a couple of weeks in Luton in 1980 at a family wedding and heard the P word for the first time. As I came from a very sheltered rural Ireland area, it was scary to see some of the racism, especially from my cousins family.

 The 80s were a bit shit and Thatcher was to blame for so much.

It's a decimal,not a fraction.

The Desperate Hour 

 

Naomi Watts plays a mum who is out for a run when she finds out there is an active shooter in her sons school......

 

Poorly executed to be honest (pardon the pun) but the area it's filmed in is lovely. 3/10

Shite. Standard generic action fare. Pretty obvious in the first half hour that they’d be setting it up for a sequel. 
 

It was made a bit better by the notifications on my watch letting me know that all the teams on my f**ty acca won.
