I'm suddenly reminded to go look for that again, cheers

School of Rock on here. A timeless ripper. Jack Black at his best.

Having never seen any, watched all three John Wick movies there over the last few days. The first one especially is class, a perfect action movie pretty much, no faffing about, no naff comedy attempts, really well put together. If I'd been between 15-25 seeing it I'd have absolutely loved it.

Watched the first two with the youngfla in the last week. The first one is about as good as you can get in an action movie. Second one is pretty good too.

Watched Prey this week too. Very good.

Prey - Slow burn for the first half, then the limbs start flying. Best one since the original.

House Of Gucci - It was alright, too long by about half an hour, and it looked odd, kind of washed out. Great performances though, very OTT - particularly Jared Leto, worth watching for him alone.

Prey - Decent alright, a few tweaks would have put it into the great category but it's probably the best one since the original. Hope they don't do a direct sequel to it and just go with another era/location.

And maybe have the predator win for once? Best hunters my ass!

The Plague Dogs - Watched this last night after the chatter on here about it, definitely more bleak than Watership Down :laugh: Love the animation, recognised John Hurt and Patrick Stewarts voices straight away. Any other animated type films like this? I need my bleak fix every now and again.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness - I enjoyed it but can't say it was a great film. Such wasted potential when you think of what they could have done with it. Definitely getting a Marvel overdose.

Watched Darkest Hour tonight. Meh. Gary Oldman was very good, but scenes like the one in the Underground were so blatantly fictitious that the film deserved all the flak it got for artificially sweetening the historical figure. A missed opportunity to demonstrate that sometimes what the hour calls for precisely isn't some kind of "nice" man. Sometimes you need a cunt.

Saw Nope yesterday. Enjoyed it-bit slower than I expected but if you enjoyed Us you'll enjoy this.

The ads make it look awful. The name doesn't help either. Is it funny or scary or what?

It's not especially funny. Sort of a gloomy Sci fi with a hint of horror. Definitely in the vein of his previous stuff

Not sure if I've seen his other stuff. But gloomy sci fi sounds promising. The ad makes it look like a Wayans Brothers film with aliens.

Eternals - Better than I'd expected (nobody I know had a good word to say about it) but still only so-so. Visually it was great, only let down by shoddy CGI in places, but the plot was fairly nonsensical and felt more like a DC movie than a Marvel one. Far too long, too.

Just watched Mad God there. One of the most out there things I've ever seen. Superb. Like a stop motion movie in the style of every extreme death metal album cover, in every sub genre, ever. Mental.

Forgot to mention, but the music is excellent. Very Pink Floyd in lots of places.

Watched Rise Of The Footsoldier Origins the other night. Not to be taken too seriously at all, helps if ya love gangster movies. Violent and funny and Vinnie Jones beats up a load of lads. As an origin movie it is decent enough. The original one is still the best though. Any fans of the franchise?

Watched one of these on Netflix the last night. Absolute shite of the highest order.
It's like if the Kinahan's decided to make a movie lol
