What film did you watch last night?

The new Mortal Kombat. 3/10. You know what you're getting yourself into but it's still pretty awful. The opening scene gets you thinking "actually they might have come good this time", and then it's very quickly downhill from there.
 
Fractured - Sam Worthington (Netflix)

Synopsis - "After his wife and daughter disappear from an ER, a man conducts a panicked search and become convinced the hospital is hiding something".

We quite enjoyed this, it kept us watching just find out if everything was in his mind or was the employees at the hospital up to something sinister. Although our guess on what had happened turned out correct, we still wasn't sure until the final reveal. Some of the main character's actions were frustrating and some plot points were conveniently forgotten or pushed aside to keep you guessing.

I'd give it 7/10, enjoyable enough.
 
The Mauritanian.

Very good but hard to watch. Really glad that Tahar Rahim got awarded for his performance. I'll try and watch more of the stuff he's done.

7/10

Oh and **** you Obama!
 
Midsommar (Director's Cut).

Adds around another 25 mins to the length of the film.

As I enjoyed the first release I found it well worth seeing, though there are one or two aspects that I hoped would be covered, although I guess they were albeit indirectly.

Currently, my favourite director and I can't wait to see what his third major release will be.

Based on a true event, Benedick Cumberbatch is a regular business man, used to smuggle secrets our of the USSR by the CIA and MI6. I feel like they tried to keep this close to the truth (of course I have no idea, but it doesn't feel over the top at all). Decent movie, well acted, good story and interesting at the same time.
 
Watched Nomadland at the weekend. 7.5/10

Enjoyed it, good performance from McDormand as usual, the fact most of the cast weren't actors gave it some added poignancy. Something a bit different...makes me glad I'm not trapped in poverty.

Best Picture though? Well, it wouldn't have won in a normal year, decent enough film but didn't really have much competition.
 
Snowpiercer - we watched the series before this and unfortunately didn't rate (much preferred the show). The ending was disappointing as well; whole train dies bar two survivors but at least a polar bear (which was probably thinking - hhhhmm two free meals) made it.
 
Incredibles 1 and 2.

Seen 1 before, first time seeing 2. Loved both of them. I was a little taken aback by how...dated Incredibles 1 looked visually shall we say, but the story is just fantastic. I was also surprised how well 2 followed on from 1, considering it was released 14 years later, though it does literally take place right after the events of 1, but they handled it well. Much better than say, Toy Story 3 and 4 in my opinion.

My only criticism of 2 is that there were perhaps a few too many of those new heroes introduced who were a bit throwaway and didn't really contribute much to the big conclusion.

Incredibles 1 - 10/10
Incredibles 2 - 9.5/10

I didn't make it past the first 15 minutes. It was like watching a bad documentary.
