Moonfall - Take bits of Gravity, Armageddon, Terminator 2, The Matrix and every disaster film made in the last 20 years then sling it all together into a shit sandwich....mental stuff...

Sounds like it might be a fun watch with the kids?

100%..they would love it!!

I watched Nobody yesterday. Not at all what I was expecting. It was pure OTT gratuitous violence. It was entertaining up to a point but watching Christopher Lloyd in the final scene dragging his 1000 year old carcass around while somehow kicking ass made it a bit too ludicrous 

Aye the ending was a bit ludicrous but a good watch. The scene on the bus was fantastic.

Watched that at Xmas with the old fella. Not my usual tipple but I loved it. Doc Brown at the end with RZA was the icing on the cake.

Finally got around to watching Hereditary yesterday.  It had long ago gone into the "to be watched eventually " pile. Mainly due to the rather marmite reviews and opinions.  I have to say, I really rather enjoyed it. Yes, its a bit on the long side...but overall pretty excellent. I think there's a lot to be said for horror that takes itself seriously. Loved the sense of dread that builds throughout.

Yeah, and Russian bad guys in yet another action film. You'd swear we were being primed for something...

[Necro Red]

Ah, the Russians have always been portrayed as quite villainous. Look at the 007 movies, they are always the baddies

0600 work flight this morning and got half way through a Korean action/thriller film called Spiritwalker, turned it off half way as it a bit head wrecking, switched to Apocalypse Now and watched half of that before the plane landed. 
Hoping to finish it next Saturday on the way home.

Recently:
The Power of the Dog - excellent, well deserved Oscar for Campion; some exquisite scenes in terms of psychology.
Belfast - enjoyable, not much more than that, but enjoyable. If you hate Van Morrison, however, steer clear.
Awakenings - not sure how I've never watched this before, but brilliant; Williams and De Niro both at the absolute top of their games.

[Eoin McLove]

Belfast was alright but it felt a bit like The Troubles by Disney.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Yup. I sort of forced myself to be sympathetic in that regard, seeing it as the perspective of a little boy rather than a true-to-life depiction about a little boy. But it was certainly oddly "nice".

[Ollkiller]

Normally I'd like a film like The Power of the Dog but I hated it. So fucking boring.

[Cailleach]

I thought it was just me.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

It is slow, but I thought the pay-off was worth it. Not just the ending either. Some really psychologically powerful character face offs throughout the film. But it is slow, yeah.

[Eoin McLove]

I'm rewatching Lion. It's powerful, heart-renching stuff.
