Soldato
Birdbox - Not sure where all the hype has come from it was very run of the mill and some of the characters were shocking especially the 2nd pregnant lady. After seeing how the book ends I sorta wish we had that ending instead.
American History X 8/10
Never seen this before, guess I have avoided it as the subject matter seemed a bit hardcore.
But it is a great film, one of the best I have seen for a while.
Midnight Sun
It's more of your teenage love story in the veins of The Faults of Our Stars, A Walk to Remember etc, cliche, cringe worth at times, predictable, acting is so so and there is nothing new but I loved it. I found myself getting emotional in the last 5 mins and I couldn't stop it so it did something right.
It's not a great film but the 12 year old girl in me loved it.
Fantastic film.
Patient Zero - 3/10.
I love the zombie genre and read a book called Patient Zero - nothing like the book unfortunately. It was interesting premise, but was dreadful, especially Matt Smiths american accent! Stanley Tucci was very good, but was also very wasted in this role.
Poor effects, v cheesy dialogue; shame as i hoped this would be good
I find it very interesting how successful this has been. It really is a poor man's A Quiet Place. Although enjoyable, it's really not a patch on it.Bird Box
A cool premise exceptionally poorly executed. I didn't hate it, nor did I think it was particularly bad, but it felt like such wasted opportunity given the central themes and ideas that lie at the heart of the film. Felt like a mix between A Quiet Place and The Mist, but with none of the good Direction or excellent pacing those two movies have. Nahhhh.
Utter car crash of a movie and I do wonder how the the cast were roped into it.Patient Zero - 3/10.

find it interesting how Netflix must be rubbing their hands with glee that they can make something like that "go viral" and get 45m views. Pretty crazy and certainly helps them in their quest to be the 7th big movie studio.
Can open, worms everywhere. Are they really a film studio if they're not releasing in cinemas (properly)Netflix did more revenue than Fox and Warner combined in 2018, purely in financial terms, they're already in the top 5.

They're also in a shed load of debt, so whether or not they can make a success of their originals still remains to be seen. It's all very interesting.
Together with the fact that Disney is about to pull all their content (Marvel, Star Wars are the headliners but there's tons of TV too) Netflix really need to up their game with the Originals. But to be fair to them, they seem to know that.
Watched it a few nights ago, thought it was pretty lame and really a crap rip off of A Quiet Place.I find it very interesting how successful this has been. It really is a poor man's A Quiet Place. Although enjoyable, it's really not a patch on it.

We watch a few Netflix films and to be honest the quality of them recently with the exception of a few films 'Calibre and Ballad of Buster Scruggs' are pretty poor, to be honest I feel these movies would go nowhere at the cinema. Kind of like a straight to video/dvd release of years gone by.
Yeah I watched Cam pretty decent, Apostle was alright as well.I thought Ballad of Buster Scruggs was very dissapointing myself. Most are straight to DVD, some are not bad though.
Watched Cam not so long ago, that wasn't too bad.
