What film did you watch last night?

Gemini Man. 5/10. Not as bad as I had heard it was. It passed a couple of hours. There were a couple of times where the CGI work was criminal. Mostly the de-aging of Smith is excellent but there are some times (esp the last scene) where it gets fully 'uncanny valley'. In addition there are two fight scenes (motorbike and catacombs) were the level of CGI is on a par with the infamous Neo v Smith fight in the second Matrix film. Rubber physics anyone? Overall though, it kept me interested and the wife stayed awake. 
I caught Le Mans '66 last night and my lord, what a hidden gem that was! I'm not a massive petrolhead, but clearly know about Shelby, Iochoka (sp?) and knew a bit about the story of the GT40 from the expose they did on Top Gear a few years ago, so I wasn't sure how I'd like it. I didn't have to worry, Damon and Bale were amazing, and personally I think Bale really stole the show. He's definitely one of the best actors out there right now.
Can't recommend enough for those with even just a passing interest in cars - I give it a solid 7 or 8 out of 10

I watched it the other night, can confirm. Great watch. How they grip on what looks like nothing is crazy.

21 Bridges (2019) - 6/10
A run of the mill police thriller which doesn’t really do anything new, but is still good and entertaining to watch.
Not as tense as I was expecting as it focuses on the drama and the pensive stances of the lead, but the acting’s good (although the characters are rather cliché) and the action and overall style is realistic and gritty.

I've not been all that interested in any of the new Star Wars films but I did enjoy this, in fact, the longer it went on the more I lapped it up. Nice to see not much in the way of cheesy moments. And, I thought Felicity Jones was lovely.

Le man's 66 8.8/10
I know what a Shelby cobra car is and id heard of a Ford GT40 So i was totally set to see a film about car racing!
Really good film, very well acted, good humour, interesting story.
Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but definitely worth seeing unless you despise cars.

I don't watch many horror films, too much of a wuss, but this looked interesting enough to give it a go. It was pretty great, liked it a lot. Wasn't too scary, just nicely creepy/foreboding.
Will definitely watch the sequel when it hits Netflix /Prime.

I'm sure there was plenty of CGI, all movies use it.
Probably was used to give it that 80's new York vibe.
You know what he means....come on now.

Joker 8/10
Probably the best film of a shockingly poor year for films.
Great performance from Joaquin phoenix who I regard as one of the best actors around at the moment. It's a grim film with zero laughs, but it tells the story of Jokers descent into madness brilliantly. A cut above all the other comic book guff out there.

I laughed out loud quite a lot and found those moments off set the more serious moments. I thought in those moments they left it open for you to find them funny. Most obviously the bit in the hospital when he was performing for the kids - surely you laughed at that?
