"Under Paris" on Netflix. Not a bad shark film with an interesting but ludicrous premise.
What really struck me was how clear the photography was in several sequences, especially at the start. Just beautiful. That and the female lead constantly reminded me of Lena Headey.

Gripping film, very immersive setting.

Safe House (2012)
Action, spy thriller starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds. It's never going to win any awards for originality, but both leads are easy to watch and it moves along at a brisk pace.
Nice to see Reynolds not being Reynolds for a change, which seems to be his standard performance for him in every film since Deadpool.
6/10

I wasn't expecting all that much from this, but it held my attention throughout.
Actually quite good, apart from the weak ending.

It's the bit where Eddie pays his rent with carnal favours and then you see his landlady smoking in bed and it pans round to him throwing up in the toilet, as "The Sound of Silence" plays in the background.
"You really jarred something loose, tiger".
When Evil Lurks - 7.5/10
Argentinian horror film about a demonic possession in a remote village.
Really enjoyed this, the effects were good and it had a good old school horror vibe to it. I realised I've had another film by the same director on my list to watch, Terrified, which I'll definitely dig out now.

Wind River
Great performances by Elizabeth olsen and Jeremy renner. Pretty tough to watch in places, but well made and compelling story.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024) - 7/10
An entertaining and fun action film which whilst set in its ways, makes the most of it.
The story’s nothing special with one-dimensional villains, damsels in distress and the attempts to tie it into previous films is pretty weak, but the Miami setting is wonderful and used very well with exotic nightclubs and an iconic culture.
The frequent and frantic action pieces are exciting and intense with enough explosions, violence and good use of clever camera work, constantly jumping between different views of the scenes.
The characters are funny with plenty of jokes and humour as they make fun of themselves and each other whilst accepting they have aged.
A couple of good cameos and an ok run time, but the choppy editing is noticeable at times.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)
It's as daft as a film could possibly be without trying to be a comedy, with human characters just there to explain the plot. But when the monsters are on screen, it's entertaining enough and the only really reason anyone is watching.
Plus the Dolby Atmos track is one of the best I've heard in recent times.

Any better than the movie poster suggests? It looks like a bad B movie!

It's worth a watch. Over the top fighting, and for me better than the poster suggests. A good b move
If you do watch it. Upload your rating then I can see how far off I was
Late Night with the Devil - 8/10.
Really enjoyed this one. Refreshing horror scenario and the set design and everything about it was very well done.
I would love to see it as an actual theatre production somehow, I think it could work pretty well.

Ocean's Thirteen (2007)
Not sure if it's any better or worse than the second film. It feels closer to the first film though and like the first film it's the actors that hold your interest more than than the story. But we don't really spend enough time with any of them to really care.
I think it would've been better to reduce Ocean's crew and have more time with characters and have more at stake.
