Heh, was thinking the same thing.

It was the gun shot and everyone going deaf line that got my deja vu tingling!

The Babysitter on Netflix.
Lightheaded “horror” film that’s not bad and worth a watch. Samara Weaving is quite nice.

It's all about Bella Thorne!
Same for me, thought I'd clicked a different page number by mistake
Watched that the other night, had some funny moments. Samara made Bella looked pretty meh imo. Hugo weaving's niece.

7/10 max for that film. The first 3/4 is indeed 9.5/10 material, but after the monster trucking basement scene it all goes downhill and the cinema finale is ludicrous. 9.5/10 * 3/4 ~ 7/10.

We watched a film called Oranges and Sunshine last night. It's about a social worker in the 80s who discovers that hundreds of children in care homes were shipped off to Australia in the preceding decades to work in atrocious conditions and subjected to physical and sexual abuse. It's got Emily Watson and Hugo Weaving and the chap who played Faramir in it. Pretty good.
Got through a couple.
Baby driver was first up it was 8/10 in my eyes a casual watch but entertaining with some good car stunts.
Atomic blonde was second, I found was a bit slow in places but the setting of the fall of the Berlin Wall was interesting so 6/10

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
I watched this at the time but my second viewing was as good, if not better. Daniel Craig was an odd choice for the lead role I feel but does a decent enough job all told. The real stars are Rooney Mara, the score and the story itself. There aren't too many thrillers of this caliber about, in my book.
8.5/10

A Tarantino film with a Tarantino ending. Who'd have thought? It's up there with his best efforts in my opinion and Christoph Waltz delivers one of the finest acting performances I've seen.
War for the planet of the apes:
Absolutely loved it, it's incredibly how far CGI has come in that the range of emotion and expression from the apes was phenomenally well portrayed. The film was dark and took itself seriously, and that is exactly why my suspension of disbelief was more or less complete. Powerful and gripping stuff, and I really was rooting for the apes.
8/10.
Spiderman Homecoming:
It was overall a decent reboot, but I was surprised how annoying I found both the new and very immature seeming Peter Parker and the ubiquitous and overdone Tony Stark. Marvel is getting increasingly smug and self.satisfied as time goes on and this is leading to a fair amount of on-screen self-gratification and pats on the back. I find that a wee bit irritating.

There was only one member of the entire cast that I didn't want to burn alive, and even she deserved a stern talking to.
Only had 1 good scene in it, you know what it was. For a comedy it certainly lacked...comedy.

Nothing tops Castino Royale for me (for a modern Bond flick, 9/10 imo). Best of Craig's Bonds for sure, although Skyfall was decent.

Goldeneye and Casino Royale are both far superior.
Whilst I agree that there is something special about a new Bond and the films mentioned above have been very good, I thought Skyfall improved as Daniel Craig had refined a bit, also some good new introductions and a goodbye. Also Roger Deakins.
