The Silence - 3/10
a very poor, poor mans A Quiet Place. i quite like Stanley Tucci as an actor so it was quite a shame to see him in this utter guff
Bird Box - 2/10
what a load of complete and utter turd. i get that with movies you sometimes have to leave all sense of reality behind you when you sit down to watch it but this film just expects you to go to a whole other level of stupid acceptance.
it would be a solid zero if it wasn't for the fact the back story to the 'monsters' was quite interesting.
there's so much wrong with the film it would take far too long to explain. avoid like the plague.

no, no you cannot expect me to believe it's possible to drive a car with totally blacked out windows while relying on it's sat nav and proximity sensors to guide you to a supermarket several ******* streets away - streets that were littered with burnt out wrecks, bodies and **** knows what other paraphernalia
no, no you cannot expect me to believe it's possible to paddle down a ******* river blindfolded and survive - oh oh and also survive being flipped out in the rapids and find the 2 blindfolded children, one of whom has carried a box with 3 birds in it that have also survived being flung about in the rapids...
just **** off!!

Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse - 8/10
Actually my second time seeing it but can't recommend it enough if you have even a passing interest in comic book movies. I tend to avoid most animated movies as I never find them that good but this is great, it takes 20-30 minutes to get used to the animation which does look amazing but has a jerky, I forgot to wear my 3D glasses look to it but you get used to it and it is spectacular.
It looses a little steam at certain points but has a great soundtrack and voice actors in various roles but also has some genuinely great jokes (and in-jokes).
Also
Bloodline - 7/10
Stifler plays a serial killer. But the film is well shot, and Sean William Scott in the role is very good. Some decent gore and the story is ok. Worth a watch once at least for Scott's performance.

Endgame 4/10
Did this really need to be 3 hours of absolute drivel. Why are all of Marvels characters so safe and boring ? Alright, Groot and the Racoon are mildly interesting but the others are so dull.

In the shadow of the moon 6.5/10
Some really good ideas and an interesting story, but the message it was trying to deliver and the ending were a little hazy. Worth a watch though.

I agree, this was a big let down for me. Thought the previous one was pretty decent and had high hopes for a good follow up.
I thought it was v good, 7/10 for me.
Agreed Fury was v poor, but this is a Spidey movie not Avengers.
Mysterio/Jake G was very good
Effects were excellent
MJ actress - nah
Huge plot hole - since when do projections give solid perspective and Fury/Avengers never ran a background check, DNA test, facial recognition on a new 'superhero'?
Team Foxcatcher.
Interesting but rather sad documentary about a wealthy guy's involvement in sport, particularly American wrestling. It does highlight how money can really influence things despite how bizarre things can get. The standoff after the shooting is quite surreal.

The film based on that is good as well, Steve Carrell is great in it.
It was the film I was originally after, however it wasn't on Netflix and that's when I discovered the documentary. It would be good to watch the film as I believe it's focused more on the brother Mark, whereas the documentary had no mention of him.
Thanks for the recommendation. Watched and enjoyed. Not a 9/10 for me but def an 8.

The Great Battle (2018)
Based on actual historical events (not sure if they had girl crossbow squads in that time period though
).
Excellent battle scenes and some good acting.

Sounds like my kind of thing, 7/10 on IMDB so might give it a go.The Great Battle (2018)

My 9/10 was probably a little generous. Just caught me by surprise how much I liked it. Normally subtitles annoy me.

Avengers Endgame
Was ok, but just too much going on, and not in a good way, didn't feel like there was any stand out moments in the movie, despite it being 3hrs long.

Rented the Aladin Live action remake.
I actually really enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. Will Smith was a good genie and the CGI didn't look as bad as I was expecting it to be. A enjoyable watch for sure. 7/10
Was way better than the Lion King.
