Thanks really enjoyed this film. Great vibe throughout (reminded me of Uncut Gems) & the two lead characters worked very well together.
I watched it with 2 mates, I loved it, one thought it was OK, the other fell asleep
So just like LSD, can be a personally great experience but not one you'd recommend to others
Think i was one of the few that didnt get it or thought it wasnt my cup of tea.
I persevered with it but thought it was.....

The whale 7.5/10
Seriously heavy going film this.
For once a properly written gay character that isn't just there to tick a box. A fantastic performance by Brendan Fraser. Really rips at the heartstrings.
Felt Sadie Sink overacted just a tad, but was suitably unlikable and played her part.
It's quite a tough watch, but one of the best films of the year I'm sure.

Is that the one wi the Liam Neeson and Owen Wilson? I remember enjoying that as a young teen but watching as an adult it’s absolutely abysmal!
The best bit is that the bad guy has the name of the country.
Huuuuuuughhhh Craaaaaain.

Creed III (Rocky 9)
Not a huge amount to say about this without spoilers, but this is probably the ‘tightest’ film in the Creed trilogy - very lean, decent sports drama with no dead spots. The fighting scenes were incredible. The daughter scenes were sweet and funny. It was also good to see it move on from having Rocky (who is absent).
In fact, I’d say there was only really one drawback (albeit a material one)…
A decent entry nevertheless and the fights were brilliant on the big screen.

The whole film went exactly as I expected it to from the get go … there were no surprises or shocks. I was hoping for something out in of the blue… but it never happened. OK, it doesn’t damage the well-made product, but it therefore failed to amaze me.

2 words Kathleen Kennedy. Hopefully she be out soon. Boba Fett TV series was ruined by her meddling in it too.

The success of Mandalorian and others was down to her getting forced to stay away and not interfere. Squadrons is one show that's been limbo comes to mind.
Grogu was meant to follow Luke but because of his popularity they changed it. Jon Favreau threatened to leave but was talked back after he warned Bob Chapek if she did this again he gone.
She hasn't got an idea of SW if her life depended on it. She been a glorified tea lady since the Lucas days.

We watched Everything, Everywhere… last night and thought it was pretty naff on the whole. Totally agree with the two star Guardian review of it.
How Jamie Lee Curtis and all the other Oscar wins came to be, I’ll never know. We’re baffled by it. Particularly ahead of the likes of All Quiet…, Banshee, Cate Blanchett, Brendan Gleeson and Kerry Condon.

Zodiac (2007) 7/10
Based on the notorious serial killer of the same name, who stalked the San Francisco area in the late sixties. Produced by David Fincher who went on to produce the serial killer series Mindhunter.
I knew the serial killer in Dirty Harry 'Scorpio' was based on the Zodiac. When reading further, I didn't know Dirty Harry, Harry Callahan and Steve McQueen's Frank Bullitt were based on the lead cop who investigated these killing which was a surprise!

So I finally watched it to completion a week ago, it's adequate enough - maybe a 5/10 and most of that is from the final reveal.
Also it tries way too hard to be an A24 level horror with it's half assed arty camera shots, while a lot of the A24 content has good writing and performances to back it up - this isn't remotely the same quality.
