What film did you watch last night?

Speak No Evil - 7.5

Will never watch again but christ that was hard to get through in a good way. Definitely worth a watch if you like very dark thriller/horror films that get under your skin.

Marvel Cinematic Universe continued with Iron Man 2. I'm going to give this a 5/10. I really am not fussed with Robert Downey Junior. Now, finally, I can watch The Avengers tonight!

IM2 and 3 are fairly low points along the earlier MCU movies.

Bullet train 7/10

Slightly above average film. A few too many UK accents for a Japanese train, but whatever.

More comedy than action really, even the violence had comedy in it! Nothing really unique story wise but it passed the time. Would not watch again and probably would have skipped it was it not for the big actors they managed to get onboard !

Yes, I'd give it a 7/10 as well.

Had some good moments but I nearly gave it a 6/10 as it was often painful to hear an American (Brian Tyree Henry) do a cockney accent so poorly at times, especially when he is cast with and exchanges much of his dialogue with a British actor that only served to highlight how poor his accent was.

On the other hand Hiroyuki Sanada just seems to raise the level of any film or scene he is in.

Eye in the Sky (2016)

Surprised me this film. 8/10

Flows really well despite the story. It's a tad far fetched maybe or not exactly true to current warfare, but it is very tense and feels quite believable due to it being engaging.

Yes. Amazingly I've never seen it before. I don't know why. It was definitely worth a watch.

Anyone watched Blonde yet on Netflix? My other half said she was interested in seeing it but even though I pointed her to Kermode’s review (calling it a horror movie), by the sounds of it it will be too much for her. Hmm.

An actual horror or just Kermode being his normal edgey self?

Judging by some of the "media" surrounding where people are saying they couldn't last 20mins I'm inclined to believe him! (Obviously a lot of people are saying it's trash but hey I trust Kermode's opinion more than some Twitter troll looking for headlines)

Interesting - i'm going to watch as it's Anna but knowing this makes me more intrigued.

Bullet Train 7/10.

Enjoyed this, cgi was pants, mockney accents were grating, but fun story and fun ride + joey King, nom nom nom.

Do you fancy Ana de Armas too?

American Assassin - 7/10

Decent brain off action, your typical revenge/mercenary story but some good scenes. Michael Keaton played the role well.

Bullet Train - 8/10

I really enjoyed this. Good fun, some good humour and some interesting choreographed fights with enough story to keep it ticking along.

IvanDobskey · 1 Oct 2022 at 07:20

Watched a couple:

Vesper 6.5/10
Decent post apocalyptic sci-fi. Pretty bleak though.

Goodnight mommy 6.7/10
German/Austrian horror film. Quite creepy and good twist.

Had to look up who she was and yeah I can appreciate she is pretty
