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

Twisters. 7/10

I know it is mainly a rehash of the original film but was a perfect Saturday night movie which I think is seriously lacking these days.

Fun fact the original Twister is the only film I have watched twice at the cinema. Mainly because I didn't want to watch Startrek:First Contact that my mother was watching with her then boyfriend.
 
Dune part 2 - creditable film, wish they had gone 3 part and fleshed things out a bit more, some aspects felt a little rushed but given the state of films recently was very plesantly supprised
 
We live in time

Groundbreaking? No, but a beautiful story with cast that carry it as long as your okay with a non linear story. Florence was great and amazing chemistry making it believable.

Wolfs.

Awful, just awful. What a waste of time.

I kind of wonder if they took some of what they had from the aborted/paused The Division movie and salvaged it into Wolfs. There are quite a few things which seem to have been lifted from the game then tweaked to fit something fairly different.
 
Juror #2 (2024)

My wife and I are quite partial to a courtroom drama and both enjoyed this one. It might lack a bit of tension and drama in the middle. Or at least my interest wained a little then, but it's a well made and well acted film.

I was quite surprised to see Keifer Sutherland and JK Simmons take relatively small roles. I assume they wanted to work with Clint Eastwood while they still had the chance.

7/10
