What film did you watch last night?

The Little Things - Denzel Washington and Rami Malek serial killer / thriller, really enjoyed it.

Your Christmas or Mine - predictable xmas movie, enjoyable with some funny moments.
 
Life is Beautiful. 8/10

I don't know how I even started watching this film but it was nothing short of fantastic and had me stuck to the screen throughout the duration of the movie

Just re-watched that yesterday, good film. I'm re-watching the Star Wars movies in chronological order at the moment. Solo next.

I may very well be wrong, but I'd have thought Solo came before Rogue One if you're watching in chronological order :)

Jingle All The Way - 5½/10

Obviously, it's nice and Christmassy, but it's quite a bad movie... badly acted, not a great storyline, not a great script. Worth noting, I'm not the target audience, of course :cry:

I also watched it at the weekend. It's my favourite Christmas movie. My heart tells me 10/10 but my brain tells me your scoring is probably accurate. :p
 
Begin Again 8/10

Brilliant! Great performance all round. Highly recommended.

The Fabelmans 7.5/10

Semi-autobiography Spielberg film, really good. Despite being 2.5 hours long, it never dragged. Good performances too.

Renegades 2022

A few British actors in this. The synopsis didn't sound terrible and a 6.8 on IMDB.

Has Denzil from Only Fools & Horses, Eddy from Lock Stock, Johnny Allen from EastEnders, Danny Trejo and Patsy Kensit in it. Had average hopes.

Sadly the acting is shockingly bad, ridiculously blood/explosion effects, 2d bad guys just to name a few failings. I just about watched it to the end...

5/10 and that's generous. It's a while since I saw a "it's so bad it's almost good, but actually it's not very good" film. Would have been a 4/10 had the setting not been London.

Love Actually - 7/10

I think I've seen it before, buy that might actually just be an assumption. Kind of a hectic film, darting all over with all the different story lines. Slightly cheesy, but fun.
 
Extraction - 6/10 - Chris Hemsworth in a cross between '08 Rambo, The Raid (unsurprisingly), John Wick etc. Good "switch off brain and watch the stunts" type film with a passable story of a redemption arc for Hemsworth's character but the story is just the right side of "OK" that any deficiencies don't slap you in the face, allowing you to concentrate on the action stuff without your brain questioning "why?????" every 3 minutes.

It does start to get a little "samey" towards the end with what feels like hundreds of faceless enemies - including government employees like police/army etc - all being killed which is something that would 100% make international news and a nice open-end to the film, should extraction 2 ever get made (I think they're talking about it), but my biggest take-away is how good Hemsworth is a "proper" action star, rather than the MCU version of what one is, so I'm surprised more films like this haven't been made with him as it seems like a natural fit.
