Crazy rich asians on ipayer(not a typo)
Thought it was quite interesting at the start but it didn't go where I hoped, acting is awful but I stuck with it though.
Watchable time filler - 5.5/10

That Christmas (2024) - 7/10
An overly idyllic and romanticized Christmas story with modern ideas, themes and morals.
The multiple plots are unconventional enough to be interesting yet still traditional at heart, although they can make the film feel a bit disjointed overall.
Cheery and enjoyable with colourful animation and plenty of silly humour, the dramatic finale felt unnecessary.

we watched this last night too. Also enjoyed it, other than the music score was a little too much at times.Die Hard
I appreciate it more every time I watch it.
Tron Ares..
Oh boy. What a complete mess. I don't know how they could make such a terrible film. I was genuinely bored at some points.
The sound track that I have listened to 10x didn't save it at all, which many had billed as it's high point.
Leto was "****" at best. The rest of the cast was 1 dimensional and the VFX
And cool fighting was eye rolling after 15 seconds.
Style 5 substance 3 overall 3/10
Wish I hadn't bothered level of enjoyment.

Watched a few this week...
John Wick 4 - 7/10
I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging this was. The best in the series for me. I found the previous two frustrating as it seemed like they were following the trilogy formula of intermediate film setting up a finale that didn't feel like a finale.
The Order - 5/10
Started off well but fizzled out. Good tone and soundtrack. Nicholas Hoult is a great actor, would like to see him in more serious roles. Also Jude Law seems to find his groove as an old guy.
Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning - 4/10
Total snoozefest. I have no problem with slow burner films but this was poor. Too many redundant side characters and exposition. The flashbacks of previous films was lazy. There was no real jeopardy. They should have learned the lesson of Die Hard 4 that "cyber" threats aren't very interesting in big budget movies.

we watched Raiders of the Lost Ark 7/10 if you ignore the overly intrusive and continuous music score,
... followed by Focus, Will Smith in a style of role he plays well 7/10 for entertainment

Angel's Egg (1985, Mamoru Oshii).
Absolutlely beautiful animation. I knew it was familiar in style, and then I spied Yoshitaka Amano's name in the credits, who illustrated some of the most beautiful Magic The Gathering cards out there, some 35 years later!
Bleak, poignant, desolate. Basically a story about
