Dubman wife vetoed that pretty hard when I told how long it was. The movie I mean.

Finally got a minute to myself and watched Parasite. Well worth the hype.

8/10

All of Us Strangers. Slow, sad and poignant - a really good film, but definitely tough going. Great soundtrack, first time I’ve ever heard Build by The Housemartins in a film. Solid 8/10.

    Nice one G. Up for going to see that.

    Sounds absolutely fucking shite if I’m being honest.

    Dream Scenario (2023)

    I liked this a lot more than Kristoffer Borgli’s last film Sick of Myself (2022). Nic Cage is brilliant and totally disappears into his character. The first two thirds are really good, like a cross between Adaptation and Being John Malkovic.

    The part in the middle where he meets Michael Cera’s character and then goes back to Molly’s apartment was amazing - the look on Cage’s face at the climax to that scene had me on the floor in bits.

    The last third majorly ran out of ideas and momentum but I would still recommend this movie.

    8/10

      Watched The American after a few comments on here. Enjoyed it, loved the pacing, nice and tense, lots of unknowns and beautifully shot. Felt like there was something missing and it was a little ruined by knowing full well he was gonna die at the end. 7/10. Could’ve been a bit better.

      Saving Private Ryan. Somehow I’d never seen the whole movie from start to finish before, just bits and pieces of it over the years. 5/5 movie, and a reference quality 4K blu ray. Picture and sound. Few movies use the back speakers in a surround sound as much as this one. Both big combat scenes freaked our cats out.

        BlainSA I loved Momentum when it came out, but second time round a few years ago and it was dreadful - dated and disjointed.
