Rate The Last Movie you Watched

Homegrove even I’d seen that before!

Well done!

Would be interesting to see in the cinema, but I’d have to be in the right mood, it’s an okay film but not something I’m desperate to watch again straight away. The cinematographer was Freddie Young, and looking at his credits his talent was wasted on some proper average stuff bar this and Zhivago. He must have thought he’d struck gold when he did Battle of Britain with that cast and crew, but it’s a proper turkey.

Amps I done this over 2 nights one time as I just couldn’t keep my eyes open. Has that lazy Sunday afternoon ambience that makes for a decent kip. I loved it anyway, and will most likely do it all again pretty soon.

Went to see Bridget Jones. Quite liked it to be honest.

There. I said it.

benson surprisingly quite a few good reviews, tempted. But mostly because there’s a new Korean BBQ joint next to the cinema, wouldn’t mind visiting again.

Watched Marathon Man a couple days back, decent 70s fodder. Hardly a classic and kinda luke warm overall. 6.7 / 10

The Gorge (Apple TV) 2025: 4/10

Not gonna waste my time writing much about this pile of rubbish. 2 Hollywood A-listers fall in love texting each other between 2 cliffs separated by a GORGE filled with zombies. н0w tн€¥ pur$uad€d th€$€ tw0 d£₡£nt a₡t0r$ t0 $tar in tнi$ I’ll n€v€r ₭n0₩ but it’s a sort of shit Resident Evil and the pained expressions of both protagonists tells the story more than any script does.

The Lost Boys (1987). Turku got an art house cinema of sorts, and they also show old cult classics every now and then. My wife suggested we go see this there. We’d both seen it ages ago (maybe decades), but all I could remember was that it was bad. And it was, but it’s just so much fun to watch a bad movie that makes you laugh with a room full of likeminded people who also like to laugh at bad movies. Good times at the movies this was.

Homegrove but all I could remember was that it was bad. And it was,

Fuck off, it’s power!

Homegrove Bad???? It’s fucking great. One of the best film soundtracks of that time too. Let’s not forget the sax guy…

I watched Colors on the way back from Chicago to NYC and I have to say that it’s fucking terrible. Dated beyond belief and it may as well have 70s Batman KAPOW shit on the screen during fight scenes. Fucking awful. ⅒

Delighted to see Amazon in full control of Bond, can’t wait for another part of my childhood to run into the ground for maximum dollar. I imagine the spin off mini series exploring the origins of Felix Leiter’s dog walker will be nothing but televisual gold for the ages.

Amps in light of this news the Craig-era was a decent way to end it (pretty sure it’s over in any enjoyable way), his arc had a beginning and an end. I know Roger Moore-fans thought the Craig Bonds were joyless, but I always preferred the more gritty Bonds like Connery and even Timothy Dalton. They were guys you could believe were killers.

Amps they didn’t do such a bad job with Donald glover in Mr mrs smith tbf.

Watched Hollowman for the first time since high school. Bacon goes into full sex pest Millsy mode. There’s a titty squeeze in there that will make you feel absolutely filthy. I remember it being fairly violent with gore, but not this sexually depraved. Highly entertaining and it has got late 90s written all over it. Wokeness and #metoo aside, this holds up. 8 / 10

Homegrove

Women Talking (2022). I love that this won an Oscar for best original screenplay because if you insert the frace “not all men” in the script of a movie where all men are evil, except for a one wimpy guy, and have it said by a woman where she was saying it as a positive thing unironically I applaud you. Not a fun watch, but I liked it a lot. Some great performances, but considering the cast it’s no surprise.

Phil-McRackin

CompanIan. A couple go to stay with friends in a remote house. Probably best enjoyed not knowing anything else about it but I liked this Black Mirror like comedy, sci-fi thriller. Sophie Thatcher is great.

Wasily

Phil-McRackin Also enjoyed. Esp the scene in German.

Wasily Jawohl!

The X-Files: I Want To Believe (2008)

This was the 2nd X Files movie they made, between the original season ending (season 9) and before the relaunch of the franchise with seasons 10 and 11 recently. It’s a standalone story that doesnt have any elements of the alien mythology from the series.

As a thriller, it lacked something. There was no real tension and it fizzled out a bit. The story was fairly grisly - about a Frankenstein-type doctor. I’m not really sure what the clamour was to make this, it could have been a double episode to be honest.

Gillian Anderson is of course smoking hot in it. 5 Frankenstein heads out of 10.
