Watched Mother with Jennifer Lopez whilst traveling back from French France. Really enjoyed it. And a bit of Kate Bush at the end is never a bad thing 😊

watched this with the wife, i enjoyed it too - it's got terrible reviews though, not sure why.
Finally caught the recent Guardians of the Galaxy 3 film. I liked it a lot - it wasn't quite as funny as the previous two, and some of the Rocket backstory were downright painful, but I thought it was a great film. Sadly it would appear that the current Guardians team is being disbanded and any new films will feature new characters. Shame, but they wre a great trilogy.
Not a new film. But... ...I watched both Inception and The Prestige after reading rave write ups for both on here (my younger daughter tells me her favourite film ever is Inception). But I keep seeing that Chridtopher Nolan made an even better film called Memento. Anyone seen it, and is it as good as the rumours say it is?

Saw the Indiana Jones movie this evening. Really enjoyed it. Full of nostalgia, back closer to its origins than the crappy Crystal Skull movie. Ford must have been exhausted every working day on this movie. It is action packed and yes, I know, his double will be doing all of the stunt work, but he gets a lot of close up movements and shuffling here and there throughout. Huge kudos to him and well done to the Director Mangold. Was delighted to see/hear John Williams scored the movie too. Couldn’t be any other way and loved him staying true to his original themes. A solid 8/10.
Like most Nolan films, Memento is better the second time you watch it
I liked memento a lot. But Interstellar on a re-watch is terrible - very bloated film with pointless characters that contribute little.
I've watched all of Nolan's feature length films over the years and Interstellar is one of the only two that I didn't understand what was happening especially towards the end and didn't bother figuring it out either - the other one is Tenet.

tenet is awful, only film i've ever seriously thought about leaving 30 minutes into the film.

STARLORD WILL RETURN
At the end, suggests maybe they will need Peter to come back.

That's Nolan's worst in my opinion. I'm glad that his new film is not sci-fi anymore.
If you're looking for a newly released film on Netflix for the weekend, let me help you.
FFS Don't go near Run, Rabbit, Run !!!!!
Avoid like the plague...or maybe that should be myksomatosis !
I looked it up on IMDB and saw that it stars my new favourite actress Sarah Snook who is absolutely brilliant in Succession. Well, guess I'll just give it a miss.🤣
Don't worry darling - Sky/ Firestick - Psyhco thriller It started promising, but became a bit predictable and drawn out. Personally felt it was too long and tailed away at the end, lots of good actors and still worth a watch but could have been better if it was cut down a bit. 6/10
Loved the new Indiana Jones. Brilliantly cast and clever writing to make Phoebe Waller Bridge almost the action star, while embracing that Ford/Jones is an old man. Loads of nods to the first three films too. 9/10
Watched this on channel 4 streaming. Film about a group of asylum seekers who've been located to a small, bleak scottish island. It's a slow-paced film, in part to reflect the experience of the refugees while they await the outcome of their applications. There are some very funny moments, especially in the cultural awareness classes, but it isn't really a comedy. It focuses on a small group of single men, a syrian musician, an Afghan freddie mercury fan and two africans, one of whom dreams of playing for Chelsea.
It's bleakly atmospheric and you come to care about these people while their time ticks slowly away. Not for everyone but I really enjoyed it.

Agreed. the little nods throughout to the previous films are lovely.

Interested to see if Snook Hmm she… yeah. Ok. Can’t seem to finish. Yeah. Pause. Whisper. Talkreallyfastwithnobreaksbut… still can’t. Finish. A sent… uh yeah. Hmm. In all performances massive upward inflection? Croaky running out of breath? Yeah.
From October to December there is a big Powell and Pressburger season at the BFI showing all there films and the chance to see papers and works from projects that they never finished.

The weirdest pile of shit I’ve ever seen. Didn’t get it at all.
Really enjoyed it.

Seems to be attempting to try to set up a franchise. Will need to do more to get people on board. 5/10
