This is the Zodiac Speaking (2007)

This feature length documentary is included on the 4K Blu ray of Zodiac (and is not to be confused with the 2024 Netflix docuseries with the exact same name). It’s all police officers and other who worked with the law who were at the crime scenes (but not for some reason Dave Toschi) when they were fresh recollecting their experiences. Also interviewed are the two surviving victims. It’s shocking how different they are, the other was clearly broken by the experience (small wonder), the other is completely normal, happy and has no trouble talking about it.

Finally watched Marty Supreme, delivered in a big way. Slight bias with the table tennis history; but as a whole it just about pips One Battle; in terms of craft, soundtrack/monster needle drops, storyline/script, and timmy vs leo. Stellar casting between Paltrow, Kevin o leary, Odessa, and a lot of the supporting. Kinda disagree with the comparisons with Uncut Gems and Sandler which was grating and ridiculously uncomfortable (do love movies that pull this off) - this is way more palatable, easy to digest, and far more endearing. Not gonna lie, couple of tears at the end. Felt like a true American classic and flawless. 9.7 / 10

Dressed to Kill: Was on my watch list after listening to the rewatchables podcast around Blow Out. This isnt nearly as good in terms of plot or performances, but holy shit it’s fucking crazy and it almost felt millsy pervy watching it. Twist might have worked in the 80s, but immediately called it from the get go, which kinda ruins it. Did read this was meant to be some sort of erotic dark comedy, there were quite a few moments you’re thinking was I supposed to laugh at that? Wouldn’t really recommend this, but if you’re a hardcore De Palma fan, you gotta watch it as some sort of weird, borderline surreal thriller. 5.8 / 10

The Wrecking Crew. Estranged brothers come together to solve the murder of their father on Hawaii. Throwback big stupid comedy action thing which is quite a lot of fun actually. Decent crunchy action and fairly amusing dialogue. On Prime.

The Mastermind (2025)
Mubi’s got three months for 1 € offer now, took it and watched this first. I’ve not seen many of her movies yet, but did not expect a Kelly Reichardt-film to be this funny. Josh O’Connor’s JB joins the league of legendary movie-idiots with this one.

Wild Things (1998)
Next week’s episode in The Rewatchables. “What’s aged the worst” will be a long segment probably.
The Bill Murray-scenes in this excellent trash are 5/5 even if the whole movie is ⅗ at best.

Hamnet (2025)
First trip to cinema this year. Jessie Buckley is amazing in this. Didn’t really feel this movie apart from cinematography until the last 15 minutes tied the whole movie together. Then I loved it.

One Battle After Another 8/10
I finally got around to watching it this evening and it didn’t disappoint. Sean Penn is definitely in with a shout for supporting actor.

Homegrove

Dan I don’t know if it’s any indicator but the Baftas nominated Benicio, but not Penn.

Is This Thing On? (2026) 5/10

Bradley Cooper directs a bio of John Bishop.

There’s nothing terrible about this movie. It’s just not for me and I didn’t find the jokes very amusing which was what I was counting on given the rest I knew was gonna be ‘relationship issues’. Had low expectations and it delivered. Laura Dern also looks way too old to be a mother of a 10 year old. Mrs. liked it and that’s the demographic targeted here.

True Grit is such a good film. I’d only seen it once, probably shortly after it was released, so I figured it was time to watch it again. As usual, I’d completely forgotten it, so it was like watching it for the first time.

Fackham Hall. Meant to be a comedy - it’s excruciating from start to finish. One of the all-time worst films I’ve ever seen. 0/10

Along_the_Wire oh really. I had hopes for that

The Last Stand (2013)

Always love an Arnie film on a Sunday night. This is clearly not one of his best, but it was enjoyable. Stupid/prepestorous shootouts, nonsensical stunts etc - it also had that trope where a guy is driving a car at about 200mph and in order to go even faster he ramps it up yet another gear - the car must have had 15 gears I reckon. Was also a fairly bloody film, the violence wasnt dumbed down.

Watched the new The Naked Gun

The Mrs choice. A funny moment or 2, that was it.

2/10

The new Naked Gun seems like the type of film Alistair, gcw and Rhouses would enjoy.

S to the werve big time.

Smallman1 I watched it a few months ago and posted in this thread. It was absolutely terrible

Smallman1 “Naked Gun was a tour de force, would recommend. Exemplary acting with a decent script that managed to subjugate me by the 30 minute mark. Overall this is in keeping with contemporary art, not withdstanding comedy.”

Ah fuck off, Alistair.

erik

Smallman1 definitely

Pretty sure H loved it as well
