I didn't even know there was a Village of the Damned 1960!
One of my favourite films about creepy kids is called, Who Can Kill a Child?

Chaos Walking - 3/10
I hadn't seen this film.
Now I have.
...
In all seriousness - a nigh-criminal waste of some decent actors and Tom Holland, though at least Nick Jonas turned in a Nick Jonas performance. Daisy Ridley playing a character written no worse than her SW one. Not much better, I'll grant you. But certainly no worse. Some lovely scenery shots (funny how nearly all planets look like bits of the US and Canada ain't it?
).
And it wasn't as bad as The Great Wall.
***edit***
Superb film, with stunning performances all around the shop.

You won't be alone 6/10
Very strange Macedonian horror. No crappy CGI, just relies on weirdness and story telling with a bit of gore. Worth a watch if you like something a bit different.

Sully: Miracle on the Hudson. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3263904/
Even though I'm a big Hanks fan and Eastwood has directed some very good movies,
it's still has taken me a while to get around to viewing this. I wasn't disappointed either.
Very good and unsurprisingly, it's also quite emotional.

Love the inquest scene in that at the end.

Oh it's such a great film! I loved it. Glad you enjoyed it.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - not sure how many times i've watched this tbh but it just a gem of a film. The music/acting & the cinematography is just on point.

I still haven't gotten around to watching this. Is it really as good as everyone keeps telling me? For some reason it just doesn't appeal to me.

Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) - 7/10
A “something different” film with its plot, premise and style which manages to be very funny, silly and emotionally heart wrenching, but always entertaining.
The CGI was spectacular and full on, a real showcase of visual effects full of vibrant colours and perfect timing.
The plot, acting and fight scenes were good, but there weren’t that many fights and the film was too long with drawn out plot explanation sections.
The music and fashion was weird, but suited the presentation and meant you never knew what you were going to see next.

It's quite averagely rated on IMDB, but I love it, as LizardKing mentions, the music and cinematography are cracking. The end also hit me in the feels which makes me rate it highly. Only negative I have with it is the day-dream sequences earlier on in the film, though this does shoe horn in the Walter Mitty aspect of it.
Man of Honour
Eternals (2021)
Total tosh for the most part. In fact the best bit was the use of Pink Floyd's track, Time, from Dark Side of the Moon during the opening credits.
Two and a half hours of my life I'm never getting back.
1/10

I think the Chief was controlling the situation during the explosion as you see the barrel of the weapon being pointed at Batman just before he blacks out. Which would suggest to me that Batman could be a suspect in the Chief eyes which could lead to etc... Anyway i find that particular cut scene pretty convoluted as wouldn't it make sense to take him straight to A&E rather than the police station? Did the Joker blew all of them up?

Started watching everything everywhere all at once and gave up after about 15 minutes. Just too frantic and impossible to follow.
So watched this instead:
Hatching 6.8/10
Strange Finnish fantasy horror film. Better than most of the films Hollywood are crapping out these days.
Definitely finding you have to look at indie and foreign films to find something worth watching now.
