The first one was one of the best films I have seen. The second felt like a film about splashing about in water. So I went into this one very wary. It started as a continuation of the second one, and I was checking my watch after 30 minutes. It got better and clicked into gear at the end but the plot line felt like the previous 2 redone with some slight differences. I did enjoy it overall, but its too long and like the second, I won't watch it again. While I rewatched the first one with my youngest the next day.
Note to James Cameron. If you must do two more, try something new.

One battle after another - 8/10, although it seemed long it didn't feel it, action packed. Good storyline and Leonardo doesn't disappoint. Highly recommend, easy to get into.1

Watched Eternity on NYE. A quite light hearted fun film about the afterlife that I really enjoyed and definitely recommend. 7.5/10
Watched a Hong Kong film on NYD called Back to the Past which was based on an iconic Hong Kong TV series from the early noughties. It was a really simple time travel story and plot and weird at times but Im an absolute sucker for anything with time travel in and it was great it used the original cast. 8/10

Yeah I liked Eternity. Light hearted (although my wife was a little teary towards the end, but she’ll cry at anything).follett said:Watched Eternity on NYE. A quite light hearted fun film about the afterlife that I really enjoyed and definitely recommend. 7.5/10

Marty Supreme - 8/10
A very entertaining film. It has a random and madcap narrative and could have done with a bit of trimming, although it holds the attention throughout. It's a film that stands or falls on the lead's performance and Timothée Chalamet was excellent.Sentimental Value (Norway) - 8/10
Joachim Trier’s follow up to The Worst Person In the World follows a fractured relationship between a once acclaimed director and his two estranged daughters, which becomes even more complicated when he decides to make a very personal film about their family history.
An intelligent exploration of family dynamics and generational trauma, the film won the Grand Prix at Cannes and must have a good chance of winning the Best International Feature Oscar.

For any Elvis, or even music fans, if you remember the 2022 Baz Luhrmann Elvis biopic with Austin Butler, well he has now produced a documentary based on concert footage, I'll give you a bit of context.
Elvis' first concert documentary was released in 1970, called Thats The Way It Is, filmed in Las Vegas during his 1969/1970 residencies.
The second was Elvis On Tour 1972, similar format but on tour around the USA
For years in the Elvis fan world, everyone knew there must have been outtakes and unused footage, and were always told it was lost or destroyed, however, during his research for the 2022 biopic he discovered cannister after cannister of unused footage in a salt mine storage unit used by the film industry that had been forgotten about.
He has used some unseen footage, digitalised and enhanced some existing footage and created Elvis Presley In Concert - EPic, narrated by Elvis from old material.
This was originally shown at the Toronto film festival last year to great reviews.
Its released in Imax format (recommended format to watch it) 20/2/26, then in standard screens 27/2/26

Spot on review of Marty Supreme. It's a manic film which feels very busy and the time passes quickly despite its length. I agree with 8/10.Blucher said:Marty Supreme - 8/10

Marty Supreme as per earlier post isn’t 5* as per some reviews but it’s the most engaging film I’ve seen at cinema for a while, one of the most pleasing things is its bringing crowds back to the cinema, TC has done a cracking job on the PR. I agree a trim in the edit would have tightened the storyline but it is the supreme performance by TC which carries the film. TC is Nailed on for all the gongs with best actor @ Oscars with One Battle After Another best pictureIdleHans said:

I watched the Indian film, Homebound, on Netflix this week and thought it was very good. It's one of 15 films on the 'shortlist' for the best International Feature Oscar.
Some good films on Netflix recently, including Train Dreams and the excellent Taiwanese feature,
