Heart of Stone (2023) - 5/10
A cross between old-school Bond with the gadgets and quips and the modern Mission: Impossible films with the big spectacular stunts and the world-threatening AI plot device.
The plot and secret society is ridiculously silly but the cast is ok, although Gadot doesn’t really have the charisma to be the lead.
The film struggles to maintain your interest or keep momentum between the action scenes but it’s entertaining enough spy fare if a bit on the uninteresting side.
Would have been better with stronger villains and being shorter, but the special effects and globe-trotting was good.

Zom 100: Bucket List Of The Dead (Netflix) - 7/10
A fun Japanese take on the zombie genre.
The last zombie "boss" was... interesting.

Extraction - some fantastic stunt sequences made this film, the ludicrous amount of killing didn't help but it was enjoyable enough. 3/5

Go watch it if you want to a very hot and funny Jennifer Lawrence.

The Rock - 7/10
Good but not as good as I remember it being. One of Bay's better films though.

Barbarian - Nothing special standard horror thriller, had a few good bits but full of the usual stupidness that ruins these types of films.
Generous 5.5/10

Yeah, watched it over the weekend and really enjoyed it. I would probably go 7.5 / 10
Well that looks like a lot of fun, unless that trailer just has all the best bits and the rest is crap.

I very rarely watch trailers for this very reason. I do forget easily though which helps
Ive watched films where i get about a third in and go im sure ive seen this more than once with the same film.I never understand people who say that about trailers. How can a 2-3 minute trailer for at least a 1hr 30min film have all the best bits? So 1hr 27min is rubbish and has nothing of interest?
They pick clips of scenes that give the film a good impression and engage the audience into wanting to see it. Very rarely is a full scene included or any consecutive plot points added to trailers it's all usually out of order or done in a way that suggests the plot but doesn't give it away in most cases.

It definitely can, see the second Fantastic Four film, the trailer for that was pretty good and it turns out that was actually the only good bits of the film.

Trailers always show the best bits for 90% of movies.

I would say there's a difference between it having 'the best bits' in the trailer and it having 'all the best bits' in the trailer

Say what you want about the F4 movies but I really liked Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, such a cool character.
