What film did you watch last night?

I have hardly watched any movies recently, Alive, Soul, Tenet - i am finding TV shows are much better. Similar budgets, characters and plot have more time to be fleshed out etc.
 
Flora & Ulysses

Watched largely because my wife is a sucker for a CGI squirrel. It's a mostly charming family movie, if very much for the kids. I'm not sure why so many family films cast animal control as evil, or why animators animate all cute animals by mixing dogs and cats, but it was funny in places and watchable enough if not really my cup of tea. I imagine if you have kids of the right age to enjoy it, it'd be a decent family watch.

For the children 6/10.
 
Monster Hunter - My god what a load of rubbish.

Willys Wonderland - Another rubbish movie. Not a single word from Cage.
 
Glory, based on a true story about a black regiment in the American civil war. Quite an old film now but still good.
 
War of the Worlds 2005

It's a pity that Dakota Fanning's character wasn't thrown down the hole the first Alien tripod comes out of, the movie would have been more bearable without her constant shrieking and irritating dialogue.
 
Godzilla: King of Monsters

I think Godzilla movies suffer from being big budget. Without the B-movie charm, you're left with a set of characters you don't care about in an overly long movie that really only has spectacle to carry it along.

Missable 5/10
 
Promising young woman 6.5/10
Yeah it's another all men are rapists and need to die type film, but it's actually quite entertaining and Carey Mulligan is decent. Worth a watch.
 
Rewatched Lincoln for the first time in a few years. I forgot how many good actors are in it. 9/10

I really struggled with Lincoln. It's got some great acting, but I found it so boring. Just a load of beardy guys waffling about politics. I think we watched about half of it before finally giving up.
