[Lord Tyrion]

The King's Man. Enjoyable, very thoughtful, not what I expected at times. Definite signs of past Kingsman films but not a carbon copy by any means.

Both Ralph Fiennes and Rhys Ifans were superb, their fight scene a real highlight.

Quiet Place II. Follow on from the first, not quite as good. The aliens are top notch though.

They're so nasty and so fast! Did you see how their feet destroy what they land on, never mind the wanton murder...proper nasty.

Got that one lined up for the weekend. Having a proper relaxing weekend of films, lining up that, the new Ghostbusters and the Eternals on Disney plus (yes I know how bad some think it is but I have seen all the others so why stop now)

Fair piiunt but if nothing else I can pick up on the points that may run in to future marvel films.

All very true. There are so many links that you daren't miss a film just in case.

Go in with the lowest of expectations and maybe you will be pleasantly surprised. If nothing else Kumali Najiani is great fun in it.

Just watched Don't Look Up. Found it funny but also quite depressing in a 'too close for comfort' type way.

Just watched it.
Decent enough

The Protégé on Amazon Prime. Yeah not bad

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Blood and Glory.
Film about the British concentration camps during the Boer war and the beginnings of the Springboks.
Weird mix but brutally watchable.

Land - showing on Sky. Really enjoyed it.

 

[larmen]

Hunt for Red October

ticks all the boxes.
Older Sean Connery
Submarines

 

[Rooter]

Another for 'Don't look up' on Netflix. I like it!! A very very interesting and close to the bone storyline, a few silly sidelines for me, but overall 7/10. worth 2 hrs of my time! I enjoyed it.

 

[AmandaJR]

A rarity - two films this weekend on Sky and watched them both all the way through. Nobody and Supernova...both pretty good.

Save the Cinema
What my other half calls "A wee jolly".
A nice, pleasant, heartwarming film.

Run All Night
Another formulaic Liam Neeson action film which my missus seems to like watching, but the basic plot line and ending you can guess before you even watch the film. Not for me.

 

[need_my_wedge]

Hard Times, on Netflix. Daft and lame, but amusing.

 

[GB72]

Enjoyed Ghostbusters Afterlife. Thought it was a fitting tribute to those no longer with us without being OTT in that regard, finished off the plot of this film whilst leaving some room at the end for a new team of Ghostbusters in the future.

Also enjoyed Nobody as a decent Friday night film that is not going to tax the brain too much.

Totally true. I love a Marvel film but even though I had low expectations of Eternals, I lasted an hour - so bad. It looked brilliant but no character development, so you didn't really care about any of them and the story felt very badly cobbled together (not surprising when you find out that there were 4 co-writers).
