So much this.
A lot of negative reviews are people who haven't played the game and compare it to old screen content.
Its so much like the game. Which is why I loved it.

Was thinking about watching this but might not bother nowAsteroid City 3/10
Couldn't get on with it at all. Not that I don't like Wes Anderson films, The Life Aquatic is a charming little film IMO. Found AC very boring. A few likeable moments but on the whole a nope from me.
GF was convinced it was deliberately bad as a comment that you can make a bad film with an excellent cast.

Same. I watched about 1/2 hour of it before I switched it off as I was just bored silly.Asteroid City 3/10

I tried watching The Ruins a month or so ago.. I think I lasted about 15 minutes before boredom got the better of me.
Watch the last Bill & Ted recently. You can pass and you'll get back some life.
Sort of lost faith in most of the Hollywood films to be honest.

Felt much the same about it as I did the first time. Just get nothing from it I'm afraid. It's broad, tepid and really quite poorly written in places. The screenplay is just so weird and the dialogue really does it all it can to make what should have been a truly great, all time performance simply good. What annoys me most is how it so badly wants to emulate better movies before it without ever trying to be anything more then the sum of it's parts. It really is just a poor mans Taxi Driver which is fine I suppose, but it feels like it should have played out better.
OST is on point though, I'll give it that.

Lasted 20 mins, or 'lasted' 20 mins?
Resurrection https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11540726/
I've enjoyed another film with Rebecca Hall in it, so I was quite game to take a look at this. It's also a great bonus having Tim Roth in it, too.
I did enjoy it quite a lot, though I'm not sure if I fully grasped the latter part of it.

A Haunting in Venice (2023) - 6/10
Another solid murder mystery with a darker tone but the supernatural horror and obvious jump scares made it less entertaining somehow.
The characters were ok and with good performances but none really stood out and although there was some drama, it was mostly plain and with few thrills.
The choice in camera angles, sloppy editing in some scenes and dark, confined setting made it look and feel cheap.

Theater Camp. Funny, heartfelt mockumentary about a kids musical/acting camp in USA. Tight ninety mins, Hits the spot I say. 8/10.

I enjoyed it, Ryan Gosling was great as Ken and I have the Ken song stuck in my head!

Genuinely some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen, it’s so bad you’d be forgiven for thinking it was a joke. 0/10

Air - 7½/10
I've seen a few of these types this year, Tetris, Blackberry now Air. All have been fun looks into the past and generally interesting stories.

Watched the Equaliser trilogy over the last few days with third at the cinema last night.
I like the first two films, more than enough to have watched them two or three times.
The third film, however, is easily the weakest of the three for me. There's a lot less action than the first two films and even less of Denzel. It also feels like I went to see a foreign language film, as it's set in Italy, and most of the dialogue is in Italian with subtitles.
I'd happily give the first two films 6.5/10 but the third installment is a 4/10 for me. I doubt I'll watch it again when it comes to streaming or physical media.

JUNG_E (2023) - 6/10
A personal and emotionally driven story of android life - what it is to be human, human rights and how they react when they find out they aren’t human.
Nothing truly new is covered, but the story is well told and the characters are good, even if all the men come across as silly and all the women come across as sensible.
The fantastical futuristic setting looks impressive and the brief and infrequent action scenes are fast paced and exhilarating, although the CGI does look a bit cartoony in places.
