Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - just back from it. I considered walking out half way through because it was so dull and I cared so little about any of the characters. Effects wise pretty good (although some ropey CGI) but effects don't make for a good film. Bangy, crashy, yawny...

I enjoyed it. :nono: And, just catching up with recent Kermode and Mayo Film show podcast, and Mark K enjoyed it too, quite rightly calling it a popcorn film that he really liked. He said that when he came out the screening, a fellow critic said to him how bad he thought it was, and Mark was...

Saw this yesterday too. Thought it definitely enjoyable, and concur with your thoughts US. There's hopes that there will be enough take-up for a follow-up but not confirmed yet.

Civil War this afternoon, which was EXCELLENT. IMO. Definitely one to see on the big screen if possible. Very impactful, thought provoking, and quite different to what I was expecting. I thought it was going to be a fairly much straight look at a fictitious civil war in the US, but actually it...

Went to see Godzilla x Kong yesterday on Screen X at the Marina. A crap week for me so needed something to take my mind off it for a couple of hours, and this bashy, crashy silly as anything romp fitted the bill. Not a great film but the CGI is generally very good indeed (and boy, there must've...

Just watched American Fiction - it's on Prime Video FOC at the moment. Very entertaining, and a decent storyline which intrigues as to how the story unfolds. As with @Acker79 it is not something I want to reveal too much about...

Just back from Drive-Away Dolls, a sort of comedy pursuit film, which wasn't too bad - 3/5 I think. It's the story of two ladies (lesbians, so the odd bit of gratuitous stuff can be thrown in as "plot points") who need to go to Florida, so go to a drive-away business to get a car. They use...

Just back from Wicked Little Letters. Great film. Set in Littlehampton, 1920, it relates the real life story of a spate of poison pen letters being sent to local residents. Great cast (Jesse Buckley, Olivia Coleman, Tim Spall, etc) well written, absorbing and in turns very funny and rather...

Saw this on Sunday and whilst we thought it entertaining, it isn't one we'll rush to see again. Some of the CGI was eye-waveringly bad, and the storyline was so convoluted - did they need SO many twists in it?! Rockwell was pretty decent in it; Sam Jackson had such a slight appearance in...

Coming in July.

Trailer for the new Quiet Place film. Loved the other two - and really looking forward to this one:

:lolol: and lots of it (FJ)!

Second, back from seeing Poor Things, Yorgos Lanthimos's new film with Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo, etc. A hefty nod to the Frankenstein story, quirky as hell and fun. Rather rude - it's an 18, with a warning of "Strong Sex, Nudity" on the certification notice! Emma Stone is superb...

First, saw the following very NSFW trailer for the upcoming Olivia Coleman and Jessie Buckley film, which looks fun!

With kids now back at school, and having not used the Unlimited card over December due to a holiday, football, and Christmas malarkey, thought I'd best get back into the cinema and try and catch up with stuff. I do fancy Godzilla Minus One but at the moment the times don't work brilliantly for...
