Havoc (2025). Gareth Evans of the Raid-movies fame made a film for Netflix. Tom Hardy and Timothy Olyphant phoning it in is still usually pretty good, and the action WAS good (Hardy did not phone in THAT), but yeah…. This type of dumb action is not for me.

I nearly watched Conclave this afternoon, but fell asleep before hitting play.
Duvet & sofa ftw!
I enjoyed Conclave.
8 Pontiffs out of 10.
Homegrove I like this kind of dumb action so enjoyed it. Not a great start with the opening car chase, which seemed to be mostly CG, and was bad meaning bad not bad meaning good. It settled down after that and the nightclub set piece and climax were good.

Phil-McRackin so much bad CGI. It felt like everything was shot on set, and probably was.
EDIT: just read it was all shot in Wales. Explains the need to have every city scene be with a CGI background. 
Homegrove yeah, I knew going it it was fillmed there so was expecting a bit but it was painfully obvious.
Hurt Locker (2008). Getting ready for Warfare pick two after Black Hawk Down. Forgot this won best picture and best director at the 2009 Oscars. Kathryn Bigelow’s best film, even though I like Strange Days more, because this isn’t that fun. The shot of Jeremy Renner trying to decide which breakfast cereal to buy is great.
2009 was an awful year for films iirc.
Conclave
Not sure what all the fuss is about if I’m honest, average
Mad_Cyril Same here, i thought it was boring.
mono-stereo Decent concept, executed like an ITV Sunday evening ‘drama’.
Needless to say, the wife liked it
Homegrove watched this film as a result of your post. It’s excellent and was pleasantly surprised. 8/10
Watched 10 mins of Havoc.
Nonsense.

The Thing (1982). Another classic I have never seen. I again have no idea how. I guess because of my aversion to horror. Well, outside of a 35 mm print this was about the best way to see it for the first time I guess. 4K digital projection on the biggest screen in town at a full screening in a movie theatre.
This film is so well referenced in so much pop culture from movie and TV show homages to memes that I knew pretty much everything about it before. Did not ruin it one bit, what a fantastic movie. Had a great time with it. And yes, jumped a few times. Horror still manages to get to me most of the time.
