Watched The Equaliser 3
Hugely enjoyable as we're 1 & 2

Watched fast X with the Mrs as she is a fan (I'm not) I wasn't disappointed, it was as rubbish as all the rest.

Next on the to watch list is
The new Hunger Games & Batman films.

Watched both Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer recently and slightly underwhelmed by both. I love long films where nothing happens too. Performances were good, nothing to really criticise about the films they just both left me feeling it was 6 hours I could have better spent.

I watched Oppenheimer.
I was underwhelmed by it.
The acting was great, but I was frustrated how they showed little or nothing of any of the theory, mathematical calculations & testing of the bomb.
The political Witch hunt that followed was too long & drawn out.
It was important to show it, because it was factual, but they dwelled on it for too long.

A documentary I saw on the subject previously was much more informative & enjoyable.

Anyone seen Argyle yet? Not a fly on the wall documentary about Plymouth incidentally . It's the Kingsman people so I really fancy it but reviews have not been kind. Is that just a reviewer thing or is it bad?

Not yet waiting for it to land on apple TV

I only heard about it last week when John Cena was at an interview and showed a clip. Put it on my watch list of ‘once streaming is a available’.


Hopefully we get around watching Wonka tonight.

saw The Beekeeper - not Statham's best but follows the usual path - easy watching action and revenge thriller

Watched Nope on Sky Cinema last night, solid enough film but I won’t be going around recommending it

Nobody. Have seen it before but watched it again last night.

Watched a couple of films at the weekend:

The Creator, I really enjoyed it and liked the style of the film. Brave move to portray the Americans as the intolerant bad guys who would start a war to cover up a tragic mistake.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This one surprised me as I was not expecting much but I am a fan of the source material so gave it a try. Actually one of the best animated films I have seen in a while. OK not up there wit the Spiderverse films but pretty decent none the less.

Just came on to comment on this film, had watched it before but it came on as I was flicking around so sat through it again. Really good film, enjoyed it as much as the first time round.

Saw it at the weekend - we both enjoyed it (although for the wife, I think it was the cat that she liked the most). It's a bit mad & over the top - I assumed that it was a James Bond type film but there was a lot more going on & as we had avoided any spoilers, didn't see the twist, so were pleasantly surprised.
The reviews that I have seen are all over the place though. However, if you have seen the trailers, don't go expecting to see a lot of Cena, Cavill or Dua Lipa in the film - you will see what I mean if you go to see it.

So did we.

I get he’s seen as a bit of a Hollywood heartthrob but I just don’t understand it with Henry Cavill; his head is so oddly square shaped, it’s like he was designed in Minecraft.

Another slow film alert. Watched Anatomy of a Fall at the weekend and enjoyed it as there's a good bit of development. Plus a courtroom/trial film always gets to some sort of conclusion one way or another so it's worth a watch.

Was looking forward to Argylle but folk I know "in the industry" say it absolutely honks so I'll probably only watch it as a case study.

I read about that film the other week, I’ll definitely give it a watch now

Kermode liked it so can’t be that bad

Blimey, where does he broadcast now? His Friday afternoon show was my staple for years.

Wow, thought it would be a film he'd hate. Far too populist for Mr Arthouse
