I know what you mean, the last few have felt more like old'ish school Bond to me, Dalton era, a little over the top while being extremely entertaining.
What film did you watch last night?

I thought the same after watching it. I also noticed with Rogue Nation that it pretty much copied Skyfall instead of doing its own thing. Fallout lacked any sort of tension i.e. something equivalent to the original where Tom Cruise is in the vault. Even just having Ving Rhames sweating in a van on the radio would have been something!

Shrews nest 6.9/10
Really good Spanish horror film. Good acting, good story and fairly bloody

A Fistful of Dollars - 7/10 - I really like the "Dollar" trilogy but it's been a while since I've seen this one and it's still really good and the "remastered" version I saw was a fantastic transfer. The story is well written, Eastwood is fantastic although the Italian extras acting abilities are a singular low point. Next up is the original Japanese film "Yojimbo" which "A Fistful" is based upon and then a modern remake by Bruce Willis called "Last Man Standing" which is a favourite of mine.

Ummmm, they've been that way since Mission Impossible 2
And remember when in MI3, a missile blast throws Tom Cruise in to a car and he just gets up and keeps running...
I actually think 6 is the best of the series!

Meanwhile in the hurt locker, overpressure kills.

Possum 9/10
A very dark movie that gets straight to the gloom from the get go. Was behind my hands a few times. A bit slow at the start although it does just build the dread right from the off.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - fantastic from start to finish. Loved it, very funny and very moving at times too. 5/5

Robin Hood - Not sure what time period they wanted to go for as it was all over the show one minute everyone's medieval dressed the next their in designer clothes from now.

Watched this tonight, very different but pretty good I thought.
Dismal and gloomy, with a real creepiness and sense of foreboding dread. The puppet will probably give me nightmares
I'll give it a 6.5/10 I think.
Last night I watched the Exorcist 3 and Freddie64 was spot on; it is the true sequel and makes sense. Exorcist 2 was a wasted opportunity. Whilst the third was okay, a couple of clever moments, I doubt I would watch again (6/10).
The Exorcist just like Jaws, Robocop & Dirty Harry are all films which required no sequels.

Wow...this film is beautiful. Pretty sure everyone in the cinema was crying during this. The music performances were amazing. I thought Lady Gaga did an excellent job. Her voice is so powerful...god it gave me goosebumps a lot of times.

The Crimes of Grindelwald - don’t make the mistake of watching this without having recently watched the original because there is a continuity with characters that I had completely forgotten about. Quite dark in parts and far less whimsical than the first film. Plot was rather thin and felt like a string of fairly impressive special effects sequences. Nevertheless, the sprinkling of whimsical beasts and magic made it a fun watch at the base level.
6/10

The Happytime Murders - 6/10 - A film noir style gross-out adult "Muppet" movie which I found extremely funny during the funny parts and extremely boring during the story parts as it's just a generic "PI with a Hot Client" type Noir. I really enjoyed the subversion of child friendly Muppets into down and out crack addicts, nymphos and gangsters and I thought Melissa McCarthy was an OK choice for a foul mouthed "straight guy" but the film is just about that one single USP - Adult Muppets - and, just like Ted, it suffers when trying to make you care about a puppet.

Pretty much agree with you on this.
It's enjoyable enough but I'm not quite sure why so many people are raving over it.
The plot was a bit of a mess and it was way too long.
