Rate The Last Movie you Watched
Maverick - first trip to the cinema for ages. Some fucking little shit kick my seat and rustling for the whole film really did his utter best to ruin the experience. I had the fear for the first 45 minutes - it was fucking excruciating to watch, but then it just got good and fun and I found myself genuinely just enjoying the film. Stupid as it was. 7.5/10. My missus cried three times.
The Green Knight. It was like some art student was given millions to make a medieval movie. Dev Patel and scenery was amazing, the movie most certainly was not.

McEnroe…. Documentary about the tennis player…. Started off focussing on his perfectionism, on his winning being the only thing that mattered to him… but moved in a wtf am I doing with my life direction. Reminded me of Asif Kapadia’s documentaries, although here McConroe is alive (Kapadia’s subjects were all dead).. and like Kapadia’s Senna and formula 1 focus, I’m no great (formula 1) tennis fan… but it didn’t matter - this is just a great documentary that everyone should watch…8/10
Promising Young Woman: Missus immediately did a pay to watch on Amazon after the trailer showed up. Tbh, I was intrigued as well. I wish it was more surreal, and less straight forward. It needed more American Pyscho and less melodrama. The ending is wild and there is a wtf pay off, kinda. Definitely an uncomfortable watch which makes it worth the time. 5.9 / 10
BlainSA What? It’s been out 9 years. I think it’s past spoilers territory.

Oblivion is a 2013 American post-apocalyptic action-adventure film co-produced and directed by Joseph Kosinski, and produced by Peter Chernin with screenplay by Karl Gajdusek and Michael deBruyn, starring Tom Cruise in the main role alongside Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Morgan Freeman and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in supporting roles. Oblivion, based on Kosinski’s unpublished graphic novel of the same name,[5][6][7] pays homage to 1970s science fiction, namely Ray Bradbury’s novel The Martian Chronicles.[8]
Oh. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it. <shrug>
Brian and Charles… after a particularly stressful day at work, I needed to escape…. And thought I better catch this film before it disappears from
Cinemas… about Brian, a lonely chap who lives in the country, who decides to build a robot (Charles) to keep him company… pretty funny in parts, this is probably more suited to the small screen in truth, but worth seeing…7/10
A lol for McConroe!
Jesus
Nice work on the remastering:
Tenet.
Convoluted nonsense. I think I’m done with movies that have cars flipping into the air on motorways from now on, its a huge red flag. When I realised there was 40 minutes to go I just turned it off.
Everything Everywhere All at Once
Interesting enough, but never really fulfils it’s potential.
2.5 Pinchers of Power out of 5
Raging Fire.
Hong Kong set action film about cops and robbers. Bit long and some laughable dialogue/subtitles but some decent action, especially the last 25 mins.On Sky.

Yeah, really like his films.

The Gray Man.
Crap. Why are Netflix unable to make decent movies, despite how much money they throw at them?
mono-stereo it’s also interesting that the Russo’s seem incapable of making a good movie that’s not in the MCU. They made the biggest movie’s of 2018 and 2019, and struggle when not working for Marvel Studios.

I watched this last night. Do they make these films for people with very short attention spans. Surely the actors must have read the script and thought fuck me this is dreadful but hey the moneys decent.

With a stock that’s declined nearly 70% year to date I’d say you might not have to be suffering these shitty efforts much longer.
Isn’t there talk about bringing adverts to generate more penny’s. YouTube is becoming almost unwatchable on a mobile phone due to the adverts
Don’t know, wouldn’t be surprised. Not going to improve their content though is it?
You would have thought with the stiff competition from Apple etc it force them to make better programs. Still not as bad as Amazon which is woefull
Wouldn’t know I only trialled Netflix for a month and it was just wall to wall dirge. The thought of ever having to see Jeremy Clarksons stupid fucking face is enough to make me never watch Amazon.
Yeah, the grey man was distinctly poor - Chris Evans was amusing to a point but it was just a string of lame action pieces strung together with a flimsy plot covered by giving actors big pay cheques (much like Extraction)
Maybe Kevin Feige really is the secret sauce behind Marvel films and they just did what they were told to do on their Marvel flicks.
You could feel Netflix’s requests all over it. - make it lowest common denominator dumb as fuck so people with zero attention spans can watch it, have them go to as many locations as possibe so every territory can point at the screen and seal clap ‘that’s (the capital city of) where I live!. I’m sooo seen by netflix!’ and make sure you have a character that paints India in a good light because that market is rescuing us at the moment with subscriber numbers.
Meh!
