Next Goal Wins

the first half of this film almost madee turn it off, but it pulled it slightly together in the end. it showed heart, not enough to make up for the bad writing and lack of characterisation in the first half. but enough to save it from being a god awful film

Anatomy of a Fall

it's amazing to read the comments about these 'unlikeable characters' as I didn't think anyone was unlikeable. I mean they all had flaws and acted badly, but isn't that part of living?

I really loved the way it asked so many questions, and the fact that it says right up there it doesn't matter what the truth is, just what people believe. I'm not sure I agree entirely with that, in some cases the truth is a fact, but it works for this film

No Mercy

urgh. so pedestrian and predictable.
the role of Michelle could have been played by a lamp for all that Basinger had to do

not sure why this one got so panned on relief. it was pretty much what you'd expect from the premise. not fantastic, but enjoyable enough tosh

Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3

I enjoyed this. it didn't work overall, some was a bit messy but it also had some very emotional scenes that really hit. overall a solid bit of entertainment

Open Range

one of my all time favourite films. I've researched it many times, slow and measured. a simple story well told and with great chemistry between Duvall and Costner.

The Martha Mitchell Effect

interesting, I'd never heard of Martha Mitchell before. this is almost too short though, I'd like to know more.

The Last of Us: 1x01 When You're Lost in the Darkness

have to say that although I wasn't too pushed on the trailer this was a really good opening episode.

The Boston Strangler

I don't know if this is any way accurate but as a film it is very powerful. it doesn't shy away from the horrendous acts committed but yet has a strangely sympathetic approach.

very well acted and well worth a watch, but not an easy viewing

The Pale Blue Eye

plodding and dull unfortunately. just didn't work at all for me.

Vampire in Brooklyn

this film didn't know whether it wanted to be a comedy or a horror, and so was neither.
but i didnt hate it, so I guess it wasn't terrible

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: 1x02 Adrift

It's an improvement over the first episode but nothing special. Lot of manufactured conflict and characters disagreeing with one another just to have arguments and "drama"

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: 1x01 A Shadow of the Past

Not great to be honest. Doesn't feel like lotr at all, and way too many storylines going on. Some fairly weak writing

Samaritan

Well that was just terrible. Terrible and God awful.

The Card Counter

This starts out somewhat interesting, but then is seems to warp into two different films that just don't gel at all. Scenes are held for far too long in an attempt to be artistic maybe? I'm not really sure why.
The central premise is also a bit hmmmm, i mean if that's what you wanna explore then okay, but do we always have to center every film around American protagonists and make them be the good guys when obviously they are not.
Maybe of the film explored more of the can horrific deeds ever be forgiven, and the actual impact of those acts it would have had more meaning. As it is it's all just a bit what was the point.

Prizefighter: The Life of Jem Belcher

This is a terrible film. Just terrible.

Scarface

It certainly had a message to impart, but I prefer this to the glorification in other, later mob movies

Headhunters

Interesting, plenty of dark humour, and we'll told.

The Northman

Everything was well done. But the story was just not for me, felt that id already seen the vengeance story in other guises, and would have liked a different take.

But then again it delivers what the trailer promised so I shouldnt complain.

Six Nations Championship: 2022x12 England - Ireland

That was a game. Tough on England, but so glad we won. Plus bonus point.

So close. And yet so far. Good game though

Cast a Dark Shadow

Really enjoyed this one. Great script, and good acting. Kept engaged in the story, though Lockwood playing Freda was particularly good.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch

Well that wasn't scary at all.

Post Mortem: No One Dies in Skarnes: 1x01 Post Mortem

Interesting. I'll certainly watch more.

Heat

First rewatch in a long time, and I really don't think it's as good as I remember. Everything is well done, looks and sounds great. But all a bit full of its own importance and men being menly.

De Niro gives a great performance, but Pacino is a tad too GREAT ASS! To work for me

Fear Street: 1994

Enjoyed this one a lot more than i thought i might. Good solid entertainment,will certainly watch the next one

The Tomorrow War

Oh my God this is a terrible terrible excuse for a film.
Okay in a predictable way till the final third and then it descended into the worst film of the year
I mean none of it made any logical sense but I wasn't really expecting any logic, but this was just plain infuriating and awful

Murder at the Cottage: The Search for Justice for Sophie: 1x01 Episode 1

So far it's way overly sensationalised. Will watch one more episode to see

Army of the Dead

Very obvious. You won't be surprised by anything that happens in this film, but it's enjoyable enough
Some of the characters are so idiotic that they don't make sense, but what else would you expect from this film.
It is what it is, way too long and nonsensical but enjoyable enough while you're watching it. Especially if you switch off your brain.

Mulan

I enjoyed this a certain amount. For such a long film though the story could have been better with development rather than sudden jumps in character interaction.
Also I now want more about the witchy woman. Best thing in it
