I remember watching this when it first came out, was hoping they would make a sequel.

Lie Low (On amazon prime)
A UK made micro budget thriller / drama with a good couple of twists about a lad and his mother in hiding after a stabbing takes place in London. Some of the best acting I've seen in a while the whole thing has a dreamlike intensity start to finish. The ending might be a little bit of a let down for some but got me thinking afterwards and I have a good idea what was meant by it.
It has a sort of Kill List feel to it but minus the overt horror.
8/10 just because it was refreshing watch, with great acting and some interesting ideas.

John Wick 3 - An enjoyable, "turn your brain off" action movie. I actually liked it more than the 2nd. 7/10.
Overlord - Found this last night after browsing the movies on Sky. Went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Not much to it, but still fun. 6/10.

I've seen it once before and can highly recommend it. Very good performances by the main characters.

Great movie! The remake was OK, but this is till the best.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - 9/10. I'm a little late to the party and totally regret not seeing this on the big screen. It's easily up there with the very best Marvel movies.

Apocalypto (2006) 8/10
Been on my list for a few years now and noticed it was on Prime movies so decided to give it a watch.
Excellent story which was directed really well.

I felt the same. I think they tried to cram too much into one film, i'd score it a 6
I stopped watching after Infinity. That movie just completely sucked

Sicario 2......
not sure what to make of it. the first film i loved. it had tension, there was a constant undertone of threat. this film had none of that. it just seemed a formulaic bang bang shooter that used the names and characters to try and portray it as something more than it was. such a shame. del toro did his best to remain quietly menacing but most of the aura of the unknown was removed with the reveal of who/what he was in the first film. while a bit far fetched the first film still had a degree of realism about it. again this one didn't have that, at least imo.
as a standalone film i guess it's probably a 6 out of 10 - decent enough action type film. but as a sequel i'd say it's a 4, i could maybe stretch that to a 5 purely because i like JB and BDT.
i fear the 3rd, if there is indeed to be a 3rd, will be even worse.

Spider-Man: Far From Home - 7/10
Enjoyed it though there did seem to be a fairly massive plot hole.

Mysterio didn’t really have any need to steel EDITH
Agree, it felt really forced and came out of nowhere too. His whole plan hinged on Peter thinking he deserved EDITH for....some reason.

Didn't he need the extra drones to make the illusions bigger/better?

Yes, but he could already make them himself

Colossal - I really enjoyed it, I can see it as a bit of a marmite film but really surprised it isn't rated higher by many.

Captain Marvel (2019) 7.5/10
Good story providing an intro to the Captain Marvel character, excellent job on making Nick Fury look younger.
Surprised Marvel haven't released a Nick Fury stand alone movie.

Thought this was a refreshing off the wall movie, can understand folks not liking it based on the early trailers though. Ended up more heartfelt than the comedy implied.
Soldato
She's brilliant in 'The Little Drummer Girl' and 'Fighting With My Family'.
7/10. Rather enjoyed this, very well cast. Started off thinking it was going to be just another Rock comedy but turned out rather good.
I liked that the Rock was the actual real story too, added a nice little touch.
