In Order of Disappearance
Good film for an adult family audience. I watched Cold Pursuit first (the American remake with Liam Neeson) earlier this year which I also enjoyed. After watching the Norwegian original I don't think there was much need for the Neeson version, it's almost filmed scene for scene and the Scandinavian humour also added a bit more.
7/10
Good Time
Turns out Robert Pattinson was doing great acting roles at least a couple of years before The Lighthouse. Same director as Uncut Gems and has a similar kind of intensity. I really liked the style but I think it's a bit of a love it or hate it kind of film.

That's not a film.
Quite right, edited it out.
Better man - 6.5 out of 10
Went to see with the wife, I’m not a real fan.
Interesting concept, works well as a film, but I feel Robbie is too young for one of these types of films (or still alive)
But left thinking Robbie has no redeeming traits tbh, which is not what I guess the film should do (ie the character arc is all bad tbh)

Finally got round to catching up on all the MCU that I've fallen behind on:
Thor Love and Thunder - the weakest of them all so far, kinda felt a bit ridiculous for most of it but felt it ended strongly. 6/10
Black Panther Wakanda Forever - 7/10 - never really clicked with the BP films but thought it was just OK.
Ant Man Quantumania - I LOVED the first one, thought the second one was a step down and it lost a lot of the charm of what made the first one fun - all the Honey I Shrunk the Kids vibe has just totally gone and is missing from this one too sadly. It had its moments though 6/10
Guardians of the Galaxy 3 - 8/10 a solid edition - still won't beat the first one which blew me away in the cinema.
The Marvels and Deadpool/Wolverine next....

Tropic thunder, such a good laugh, took me a while to realise that was RDJ and 40 minutes to realse it was T cruise
Such an unexpected brilliant film, think I’ll watch it tonight!

Willow (1988)
Haven't seen it for years and although I wasn't a big fan of it originally it's quite watchable today in a quaint and charming sort of way. The nostalgia it gives me isn't for the film itself, but for the way films used to be made.
Maybe I'll give the TV show a chance. Although my hopes aren't high with Disney's TV shows, I don't think I've got very far with any of the spin off shows.

The History Boys.
I saw it years and years ago and wasn't too enamoured by it.
Very much enjoyed it this time round and hadn't appreciated just how dark it would get.

I know I'll be in the minority here, but I preferred Temple of Doom out of the 3 films. All 3 are decent though and I'm glad you stopped at no.3, as that's as far as it goes. There wasn't a no.4 or a no.5.
Equilibrium https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0238380/
Although it apparently didn't do well at the box office, I've always found this to be decent.
I thought I recognised 'Father' in it... I saw Sean Pertwee in Harry Enfield!

Fury (2014) - 9/10
Went into this expecting a glammed up WW2 film. Yeah, I was wrong. This was really good - dark with absolutely fantastic acting from the entire cast. It portrayed the impact of war on ones mind and what it can turn you into.
The whole cast was brilliant, and some of the scenes were incredibly tense especially a certain scene in a house situated in a German town. The Atmos sound effects were stellar. The last time I ducked whilst on my sofa was a few years ago watching Band of Brothers - this made me do it again as a tank shell whistled overhead past Brad Pitts grizzled crew.
Yet to watch all the extras (iTunes). For £3.99 this was a steal.

Spirited - 7 / 10
I generally don't go for musicals, but this was amusing enough and overall not a bad movie.

The Gentlemen 7/10
Guy Ritchie doing what he does best.

The Sugarland Express (1974)
One of the few Speilberg I haven't seen (1941, Lincoln & West Side Story)
It actually was pretty decent, especially for the type of film it was. It starts out almost as a comedy, but gradually gets a bit darker as it moves on. But as it moves on the film seems more interested in showing car crashes and shootouts l, than developing the characters any further.
