Went for something completely different last night, Baahubali. Hindu mythology epic, all singing, all dancing, all over-the-top action scenes. Leave all cynicism at the door, you will find none inside either. Loads of fun though, will def watch the second part. I think it's like the second highest grossing movie in India, with the highest grossing being the sequel!

Oppenheimer...good yes...but can't understand the hype..

Also don't get the hype for this, bar a good advertising campaign/ the Barbie release day war I doubt anyone would care.I'm sure it's a good watch a Nolan movie will always be visually entertaining but it's still just a generic biopic with love story with a good mushroom cloud thrown in

Over here the media has been having endless "fun" with the fact that Oppenheimer and Barbie are coming out on the same day. I don't think I've heard a single review of the film which isn't just a big Barbieheimer mashup. I really detest the mainstream at the best of times.

Orphan - First Kill, entertaining enough horror film

Seen Oppenheimer at the weekend. I really enjoyed it. Quality performance from Cillian Murphy. Christopher Nolan never dissapoints

I heard it's three hours long. Can't be fucked.

New Flash is out on digital so couldn't help myself and downloaded... I mean eh, streamed it.

With all the delays and hype I was expecting something half decent at least, but fuck me what a turd.
Terrible CGI. Terrible attempts at humour. Terrible lead actor.
The only redeeming factor was Keaton's Batman.

DC really need to get out from under the WB banner. They haven't a clue what they're doing, at all.

I think that or Aquaman 2 was to be the last of that DC era, James Gunn's plan is to reboot everything again. They've already recast Superduperman - which is a shame, I thought Cavill was decent enough in the role.

Went to the movies with the family last night for the first time in a year. Saw indiana Jones new one. Great craic, a tad long but a good family movie.

Just booked places for IMAX screening of Oppenheimer on Thursday, def looking forward to it a lot. I can't even remember last film I saw in IMAX format, only been a couple times.

We only have one cinema with an IMAX-style screeen. I fancied going to see "Oppenheimer" on it seeing as Nolan shot on 70mm film.

Checked the listings for last Saturday - "Oppenheimer" was screening only once that day... at 2100hrs or something which meant that I would most likely have dozed off. 

Meanwhile the Omniplex was showing "Barbie" 2-3 times a day in IMAX and 8 times a day on standard screens.

Infantilisation of the masses is near complete.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I'm pretty sure "official" IMAX screens (as opposed to just "very big screens") aren't screening Barbie at all, not at first anyway. Preference goes to films shot for it, at least for a couple of weeks, so the IMAX battle at the moment is still between Oppenheimer and Mission Impossible. Barbie will almost certainly take in more money than Oppenheimer though.

I saw Oppenheimer on 70mm yesterday, I'm not a nerd about that stuff generally but it did look great.

The film was definitely worth seeing in cinema, I did think it lost a bit of steam in the last hour or so but everything up until that point is super tense, really well made. Although there was one part regarding a piece of dialogue which was just a bizarre decision by Nolan, I'm not sure if it was supposed to be purposefully funny or ridiculous but it stood out like a sort thumb.

Great performances too, Cillian Murphy will get his Oscar for this one I reckon.

Might go see Barbie for the craic tomorrow.

I was saying the same thing about Murphy. He gave an incredible performance. Definitely an Oscar nomination anyway.

Watched an Almodóvar I hadn't seen before last night, Kika. Not one of his best, but decent. Well, I say decent... it does have a very, very awkward scene of protracted rape played for comedy which... just, no.
