Watched the new Hunger Games movie last night, best one yet in my opinion.

On my list to watch along with the new Batman (Robert Pattinson)

Damn! I had the chance last week but gave it a miss thinking it’ll be just a pale shadow of the original films.

Fast X. Do not judge me, wife is away and I wanted something with no plot to put on in the background. How annoying (this could go in random irritations), I have seen films that set up the next one but I have never seen one that literally has no ending, it just stops on a cliff hanger like the penultimate episode of a series on TV. There is no way that you can call this a complete film and if I had paid to see it I would be furious. I am fine with films building up to another part but they need to also be a complete film in themselves and this is not.

Series has grossed over $7bn globally… they know what they are doing!

Sadly, so many buy in to it.

I agree, it is popular and they give the audiences what they want but to literally have no ending to the latest film just really stuck out.

That sort of thing really bugs me as well. That's one of the reasons I hated Dune. So unsatisfying.

Still haven't watched the 1st Dune - hoping that when the new one comes out, that's the 2nd half of it, so can watch it before we go

Yeah, wish I'd done that. Best to watch them on consecutive days, one on Saturday one on Sunday or something.

I really loved it. I've read the book since, I think the film did a pretty good job.

 

[Tashyboy]

One life, took mum and dad today to watch it. We loved it. A very good moving film.

We just watched Saltburn. Hard to describe it without being able to swear - it was a ____ed up film. Spent a lot of the first hour wondering what sort of film it is and where it was going. Starts to get interesting with the first twist after an hour or so. And by the end, well, there's no going back. Some great performances by the cast. Always great to see the likes of Rosamund Pike and Richard E Grant poshing it up. And Barry Keoghan is well on his way to becoming a generational star.

The Beekeeper.

Exactly as expected and I enjoyed it.

Watched this last night. Beyond weird/messed up but performances made it watchable.

The End We Start From. As an emergency planner, I found massive flaws with the story they were trying to tell. But on a human level, quite a lovely story, and incredibly well acted.

The Beekeeper.

Exactly as expected and I enjoyed it.

watched it yesterday while "at work."

i've certainly seen worse films recently

Is that on streaming, like a nice action film that I do not need to concentrate on.

Obliterated ticks that box.
Action series on Netflix.

Yup, watched it via the K application

Brand shiny new six screen cinema in centre of town opens today. Built in the new town centre development its close to where the 1930s Regal cinema stood - closed in 1985 - demolished in 1987.

Only ten minutes walk from our front door, Mrs and me planning to go fairly regularly, and with entry at under £10 I’m looking forward to our first night out…or maybe morning showing for £3.99 - just need something we fancy seeing.

One Life
The Nick Winterton story.
I am old enough to remember the original That's Life story so no stranger to the story line.
Remarkable film about a remarkable man.
Serious tear jerker.

This is on at our new cinema
