That is like scoring Dark Side of the Moon 7/10 because they didn't use a Line6 Helix on it.

Horror prequel with the excellent Lupita Nyong'o. Pretty decent horror/thriller with a really strong central performance. I don't think you really need to have seen the other movies, as the only backstory you really need to know is that the aliens are blind but with ultra-sensitive hearing.
Don't think it's quite up to the standard of the original movie, but good all the same. Weirdly it seemed to remind me more of an extended episode from a TV series like "The Last Of Us" rather than a movie in its own right.
7/10
The whole film is basically people telling each other off.
Within the first 5 minutes the goofy white guy is being pulled up by Murphy about some perceived racist slight (as is the comedy gay guy from the first movie later on). Foley is told off by the police chief. His daughter tells off Foley for not being a good father. His daughter tells of her ex boyfriend for being rubbish. Actually the daughter spends the whole movie whining (what a thankless role for the actress).
There is a helicopter chase thing in the middle that actually promises to bring the movie to life... but then...more whining.
The Part 3 Wally World thing in the franchise is actually better than this.
1/10.
A miniseries. A bit of an odd one… great cast, funny and quite weird as several parallel threads play out. Not sure if it’s comedy, satire or an overcooked drama.
Sat down for random pick.. we like Jeff Daniels and ended up bingeing it all in one sitting.
Not great, not bad at all. You will have to judge if the rather OTT characters work for you.
A solid 7/10 for us.
It's very powerful. One of the two corporals is fatally stabbed by a fallen German paratrooper whose life he was actually trying to save. The other corporal makes the tortured trek to save the division, and all along the way he is assailed by the absurd brutality of the circumstances in which he and other young men find themselves as they slaughter and are slaughtered in a war with no obvious purpose and with no good or bad guys. Wasn't it during WWI that the lines 'We here because we're here because we're here because we're here' were coined to the tune of 'Old Lang Syne'?
Anyway, well worth watching if you like this kind of thing. It's funny - I've been seriously moved by many films set in WWI but none I can remember set in WWII. I'm not exactly sure why that is - maybe it's the extreme nature of the combat, the initial innocence of the combatants set against the appalling shock as reality sets in, or the absurd destruction for sweet eff-all that does it. And maybe part of the relative dullness, for me, of WWII films is that the rights and wrongs of the conflict are too clearcut: The Allies good! The Germans bad! A bit like Mel Gibson's view of the Revolutionary War in The Patriot.
2022 documentary about the Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp.. I had never heard of it (The Camp) until I seen the film pop up on my Prime Video.. it’s very interesting and stunning how many musicians sign up to it.
Argento may have done one or two bits of acting in the past, he certainly did some TV presenting decades ago, but this is a first "major" acting role, so as an actor he is, in effect, "no name"! I don't know how good his French is, I'd imagine it's similar to his English - which is not great - but that was probably what Noe wanted.
Still one of my favourite Hammer horrors!
As per usual a Nolan audio mix is a stone cold atrocity. Dialogue was difficult to follow sometimes. Not as bad as Tenet, but still the result of a cretin who thinks background noise is at least as important as dialogue.
That being said, it was very good. I have no idea of the historical accuracy but the performances were excellent. Nice to see RDJ not being Iron Man again.
I congratulate Nolan for finally making a second good film even if he probably did it by accident.
6/10.
Would have been 7.5 if the audio mix was competent.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
I enjoyed it and give it an 8/10.
A good demonic/ late night talk show set in the 70's.
I also bought the new it films (haven't seen them yet but looking forward to watching them).
Saw it at the cinema, though I believe it's an Apple TV production so will be available to subscribers to watch at home. Tells the story of a PR lady hired by NASA to reignite America's love of the race to the moon, and to simultaneously create a faked recording of the moon landing.
Bit of a strange film - couldn't seem to work out if it was a romantic comedy, a serious movie about the space program, or some kinda farcical satire on conspiracy theories. Ended up being a bit of a light-hearted non-entity of a film. Chemistry between Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johanssen was non-existent. Woody Harrelson was decent, but it says a lot when the most memorable performance of the movie is by a cute little cat that has about 5 mins screen time.
4/10
A two part drama but has also been broadcast in one part as a film, so it qualifies.
There is no 'H' in Aych, you know that don't you? ~ Wife
Turns out there is an H in Haych! ~ Sporky
Bit of trading feedback here.
A bit mehhh…. Scripted like a stage play, constrained set…. initially engaging but the twists gets more preposterous as it goes on.
The lead actor was a bit wasted. He was better than the script.
5/10
Children's author Jessica, her drippy James Bay-lookalike musician husband Max and his two daughters move into Jessica's childhood home. It's not long before younger stepdaughter Alice finds an imaginary friend, a teddy bear named Chauncey. And then scary(ish) things start happening... is it all related to forgotten events in Jessica's own childhood?
This had terrible reviews, and they weren't wrong. It's a sort of PG-rated Insidious with not a single original idea in its 104 minutes. It's much too bland to be absolutely hateful, but it's really not worth watching.
