Beckett.
5/10
Not too bad, but slightly odd in places. The biggest failure is the soundtrack. I dont know what possessed the director to go with a 1960's/planet of of the apes vibe with the music. It absolutely did not work considering where and when it was set and how it was shot , and the film would have likely been much better and much more engaging with a more modern sounding score. I've rarely seen such an awkward and distracting score

Watching the first 3 Indiana Jones films. Why oh why can’t they make films like these anymore. Just absolutely brilliant films and today’s rubbish make me enjoy them even more.

Nocturnal Animals (2016)
Enjoyed this one a lot, great performances from all the cast. Especially Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Shannon and Aaron Taylor Johnson.
Opening credits are also an eye opener of sorts.

i liked the 4th also and the 5th is released summer 2022, that will be the last ever Jones movie i feel so lets hope its the best one.
i know what you mean though, movies are just not the same anymore. What i wouldnt give for hollywood to go back to real stunts and the film cameras.
this CGI and digital high res cameras are amazing and all but for me they lose some magic somewhere or other
I'll have to get around to watching them again. I think the furthest I got up to was part-way through the one with Sean Connery.
Free Guy - 8/10, Ryan Reynolds and Jodie Comer were great and I can imagine she'll getting a fair few more film offers now. Agreed with the person before who said there could've been more game references although there were a few fairly subtle ones too.
It must be doing well as Disney have already confirmed a sequel.

That's a shame.
I wasn't impressed with the book at all but doesn't sound like the film is much better?
I was hoping the film might take some of the better bits of the book but most people seem disappointed by it.
I really enjoyed Doctor Sleep, Mike Flanagan did a really good job with it, it's a bit jarring with some of the character replacements for Nicholson and Duvall. That's my only real issue with the movie. Ah, i'll just quote my own comments from last year

The Courier (2020) - 9/10
A true story which is told very well and at a good pace, but by its nature, ends up being formulaic.
The story focuses on the right parts, skipping over a lot of the routine and embellishing the more dramatic sections, but it still plays out exactly as expected.
Great acting from the leads and supporting cast, all of whom look the part and the setting has an authentic style for the period.

Don't Breathe 2 (2021) - 4/10
A mediocre violent thriller which isn’t really anything special.
The plot is light but manages to have plenty of reveals, although the premise and delivery does stretch its credibility.
There’s some gore and violence, but by having a cast of anti-heroes, there’s no-one to root for and by limiting the scope and style, there’s not much that stands out.

The Empty Man - I enjoyed it, some very creepy and sinister moments. It does try to cram a bit too much in to the story though, some elements perhaps not for the better. The resolution of the story at the end, I felt could have been told better on screen. But over all, I enjoyed it.
7.5/10
