Always love re-watching the Harry Potters. I did them all recently.

Always great to go back to.

Edit: 10 minutes in and I already hate it but I shall soldier on.

…do you like romance movies/stories, CeeCee…?…its a bit off topic because it’s a series and not a movie and I don’t know if you’ve seen it but I so recommend One Day/the series…I mean, it might wreck you as well so it does come with a warning but it’s such an excellent series, one of the best I’ve watched in terms of characters …

I've seen it and I loved it. I might actually rewatch it.


I have a bit of a love and hate relationship with romance movies nowadays though because the plots can be the same or unrealistic.

If at least there was a backstory like they knew who he was and that he had a lot of cash then it would make it a bit easier to follow. It just seemed like a series or random acts that didn't connect.



I love Don Johnson too!!! Looking back at Miami vice he may have been the best looking man in the 80s lol

From what Niamh said, I sort of remember now that it was to do with keeping them for 90 days for the bail money.

That would explain the start. They targeted him,,, it's a small town, wanted him locked up for some low level crime for bail money.

They knocked him off his bike knowing they would find something to pin on him.

They just didn't know who they were messing with

Something about holding them for 90 days on charges that normally wouldn't involve prison so they could keep the bail money and finance their department because the government would close them down if they couldn't finance it themselves. He didn't care about exposing them or the money, only getting his cousin out of prison but then he got attacked and died in prison because the main guys money had been taken by the dodgy cops and he couldn't get him out on time so that's when he went crazy and found evidence to expose them

Ah yes, coming back to me now

A Real Pain - 9/10

Would really recommend watching this while still in cinemas. I don't think I've seen a film like it for ages. It's really sad and thought provoking but also hilarious at times, the characters are brilliant and it's really well acted. All done in an hour and a half too and leaves a lot unsaid but that's what makes it so good.

It Ends with Us

Should get an Oscar for best adapted screenplay, because it totally felt like one of those bland paperback romances you might buy in an airport lounge. To its credit, it held my attention for the entire 2 hours and 10 minute running time, though that might just be because I was trying to please a friend. So already it'd impressed me on that score. I'm not sure it was worth the controversy on the part of Blake Lively to falsify harrassment from her leading man/director, but it was okay. Suitably meh.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of unrealistic writing imo.

Obviously there is a balance between unrealistic writing for the sake of being entertaining, to being so unrealistic that it ends up breaking your immersion with the work.

But that's just my opinion.

Unbreakable - I really liked Mr. Glass/Samuel L. Jackson's character in the Film, and I did like the mystery around Bruce Willis being the only survivor from the Train accident (which isn't a spoiler, it's right at the beginning of the Film.)

I did have issues with nearly all of the Family Drama scenes though, definitely not M. Night Shyamalan's strength imo.

May he never do them again.

In the Valley of Elah….…this is not a ‘happy’ film at all…there is nothing in it that isn’t very harrowing…you just can’t imagine and wouldn’t ever want to, imagine what the lead characters of Joan and Hank would feel…although it’s not billed as based on a true story, I have read up that it was inspired by a true case with so many similarities to the details…which just heightens that emotion and heartbreak of the whole situation and makes it more powerful…excellent casting and such a powerful performance from Tommy Lee Jones and also Charlize Theron, particularly…8.5/10….

True. It's nice to have some escapism via movies and that's usually what it is for me. I suppose I'm tired cause I'm single and I'm tired of movies making it as easy as you bump into a guy or he stares at you from across the room and suddenly you have a deep connection. All your flaws are perfection, zero effort involved.

It's so beautifully written

Boneyard-real story about a cold case where women were murdered and their bodies dumped in a yard. Sad.

I see where you're coming from tbf.

…….Civil War……I’m not really sure why I haven’t watched this before or wasn’t even aware of it…it was…harrowing, yes of course…distressing, incredibly…brutal, for sure…frightening…?…absolutely terrifyingly so and heart stopping so in places….the cast was brilliant, Kirsten Dunst was brilliant……the movie was horrifically brilliant…9/10…

[Mystic Mock]

Split - James McAvoy was absolutely fantastic in the Film.

And I do like the loose connection between Split and Unbreakable at the end of the Film, very clever going into Glass.

The one thing that did make me laugh (I'm a sick weirdo I know) is how the

Spoiler:

"Germophobe" personality wanted all of the pretty girls to be unclothed due to the clothes "getting dirty" but the older Psychiatrist lady gets knocked out and later crushed to death.

Typical Hollywood.

The Bank of Dave 2 - The Loan Ranger : Nice feel good kind of a film and based on a true story as well 7/10

[Niamh.]

Watcher - It was a decent film with a powerful message 7/10

[Ammi]

…The Creator……it was a pretty epic movie but I didn’t fully engage with it for some reason…everything seemed to be in place to make it a visually impressive ride/experience but the connection with the characters just wasn’t there for me… anyway, because it ticked along and was so visually excellent, I’ll say 7/10…ish…maybe a bit lower…it felt like Golden Child meets Avatar or similar but without that character connection…

When Worlds Collide (1951).

I forgot how good this movie is.

Rich in its original color, the story moves at a great pace, and you really do get the sense the world will explode.

Great acting.

10/10.
