  • Rate The Last Movie you Watched

Dubman I had never seen it! I think I commented earlier it was on my watchlist, but was apprehensive because it does not have a good reputation.

    Is the new Joker film any kop? Out for streaming now, so wondering if worth shelling out for it. GaGa is in it so Mrs IS may even be partial to watching, rather than doom scrolling on the sofa all night.

      IndustryStandard I believe it’s been filed under shite. All my family went to watch it (I wasn’t interested) and said it was brilliantly acted but rubbish…. A court room musical.

        IndustryStandard worst movie I’ve seen this year. I was actively angry in the theatre that I paid two tickets to see it with my wife. I gave it 1 ½ stars on Letterboxd, and those were all for acting, which was pretty good by everyone involved. The rest of it is just so shit.

            Homegrove I get through Three network £4 cinema tickets, but I wasn’t wasting it on that crud.

              Anora (2024) 8/10

              ‘Exotic Dancer’ marries young Russian twat with rich parents. Parents not happy and try to annul the marriage.

              Lot of comparisons to Pretty Woman in the media for this movie. IMO it has very little in common bar the occupation of the protagonist. It’s well acted though and parts of it are hilarious, however with an underlying subtext of being trapped, emotionally, physically or financially. Very different to anything I’ve seen recently (so was Substance) but this decent and some very under-rated acting especially from Yura Borisov who I think would get a nod from me for best supporting actor.

                Wasily I loved how the second act turned into a three stooges-skit. I do love good goons in movies.

                  Really enjoyed a first rewatch of The Prestige in a long time. Scarlett Johansson’s attempt at a British accent is pretty bad though. Somehow never noticed that before.

                  Challengers - really enjoyed this. Was surprised at the mad pop score being Trent Reznor lol. 8 smashed rackets / 10

                  Transformers One - decent. Hopefully they get to do another one as they obviously cared about the franchise. No Megan Fox arse to be seen. 7.5 / 10

                    Wally Challengers is definitely in my top three of 2024 films.

                      It’s What’s Inside (2024)

                      hahaha this was class

                      8/10

                      Not hearing great things about Gladiator 2. “Putting the ‘meh’ in Mezcal etc.”

                        Wasily some positives too, I sort of like a split room with the critics in this one. I doubt anyone was expecting a master piece. I just want spectacle, and Denzel off the leash which I’m both sure to get with this one.

                            Ridley’s best in years but not as good as the first / Mezcal not as good as Crowe is what I’m hearing - hardly surprising. Denzel meant to be brilliant.

                            Homegrove Agree. My sweet spot on RT would be critics 60-70% and audience 90%+.

                              It’ll be getting the ole s to the werve from me that is for sure.

                                If the second one is worse than the first, it must be an absolute fucking stinker.
