What film did you watch last night?

Interstellar 7/10

This is my third time watching it, and I’ve come to appreciate it more than I did initially. However, the final act is still a letdown. It veers too far into fantasy, leaving me puzzled with unresolved questions.
 
Finch 7/10
hadn't heard of this film before, which surprised me given it's Tom Hanks. saw a random clip on a Facebook reel and intrigued me. post apocalypse and a man going through life with his dog. He is dying, and makes a robot to look after the dog when he's gone. really lovely story. Made my wife cry, but then she will cry on anything like that. kids both enjoyed it, and a film we can all 4 enjoy is a rarity these days.
 
Puzzled how?
Cooper ends up at a space station, straight after leaving the Tesseract. After being found by space rangers, that sequence of events left me a bit puzzled. Space is a big place, exponentially bigger than your needle in a haystack. Drifting in space with only oxygen from his suit.

The main reason I rewatched the movie was because I came across a theory suggesting that Cooper was actually dead from the beginning. According to this theory, the dream he had at the start was real, and everything else was just his imagination.

Conclave - Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow, Stanley Tucci star in this film where Fiennes is in charge of overseeing the process of appointing a new Pope, after the current one dies. Cue plenty of backstabbing and new scandals coming to light etc. Solid. 7/10
 
Deadpool and Wolverine

Much of the same anarchic fun we expect from Deadpool, with a side order of Hugh Jackman, and some seriously funny referential jokes (Liefeld's Just Feet had me in stitches. I had to pause and explain to my wife). Other highlights were the "not Mad Max honest" folks, and seeing Gambit on screen. The plot doesn't matter as much as in a Deadpool film, and it did its job well enough whilst still falling into the same hollow trap that all multiverse films have. Yet, somehow, it all fell a bit flat compared to Deadpool 1 and 2. Whether that's just because the idea is outstaying its welcome or just because this film didn't quite nail it, I don't know.

A fun, entertaining, superhero jaunt with plenty of laugh out loud moments but a feeling that it could have been better 7/10
