  • Rate The Last Movie you Watched

Mickey 17 (2025). Some funny bits, and Robert Pattinson with yet another accent. Not especially great, but good times at the movies, and I’m glad we saw it at a movie theater than at home.

Edit: A Letterboxd-review called this a feature length Futurama-movie and that is spot on.

Rewatched Dune II in IMAX today. First time since release. Not sure I can fault it for anything, besides it probably being a complete waste of time on a TV at home. Easily the best movie to come out in 2024.

      Knox Goes Away (2023)

      This is basically a two hour version of Barry but less funny, and with Michael Keaton and Al Pacino.

      I really liked it.

      8/10

        Sicario (2015)

        I enjoyed this. Been done loads of times I guess but still a good view into that world. Fairly grim and shocking at times. Good performances from Blunt, Del Toro and Brolin

        8 out of 10

          gcw was that the first time you’d watched it?

                            Homegrove I found it hugely overrated and still do. There’s a couple of memorable scenes, at best.

                              Is Vicky Cristina Barcelona any cop?

                                Brutalist. Really liked this film and didn’t feel too long at all which really surprised me. Great acting everywhere. 7/10

                                Cronos. An early Guillermo del Toro film that’s been remastered. A film about a device that gives eternal life. Feels more like a David Cronenberg film - it’s considered a classic, but I wouldn’t go that far A decent 7/10

                                    I think you will like it Ed for the obvious reasons, but for me it’s pretty forgettable. I haven’t enjoyed a Woody Allen since Match Point though, having recent seen Blue Jasmine which got rave reviews and found it also pretty meh, so I’m probably the wrong person to be giving advice on these sorts of movies.

                                      I’ve always wondered how Woody Allen has a career. Forget the stuff he should probably be jailed for, his movies are utter shite.

                                        Along_the_Wire how well it flows considering it’s length is the second most surprising thing about The Brutalist. The most surprising this is it’s budget considering what it looks like.

                                          Along_the_Wire I’ve not seen either. That child groomer is another blind spot in my movie history. My ex made me watch Match Point though, and knowing her taste I expected to hate it but it was pretty good actually.
