Oh yeah definitely, haven't watched that in years

I love Colin Farrell. I remember first watching him on Minority Report

Such a great movie.

Blue Velvet (1986)

Saturday Night - it was OK, interesting to see how chaotic it was trying to get the show started originally (Saturday Night Live) but those sketches they showed and the jokes were so unfunny. I think we both did a small laugh in one small part of one sketch 5.5/10

Conclave - it was a decent watch actually I laughed more at this one than Saturday night and it wasn't meant to be funny

Spoiler:

when it was revealed that the new pope was intersex and probably a woman, I thought that was hilarious because earlier in the film when Cardinal Belini was telling the others what he stood for and he was saying gay rights and other Liberal ideals and then he says and woman should be more involved and the other Cardinal says woo maybe we won't mention the women being more involved part. And I'm like "oh that's where the line is huh? At woman?"

7/10

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl who Played with Fire, The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's nest. We watched all three of the original Swedish films. Bloody brilliant... never seen them before nor read the books. 9/10 for all three.

Lost In Alaska (1952) Classic film, Bud Abbott & Lou Costello.

This movie is over 70 years old. So funny. My type of humour. Always loved the duo.

10/10 for laughs.

Shirley valentine just now. I love that movie so much. Never miss it lol. Do you think Shirley and Joe relocated to Greece together?

I've not seen them but I really like Noomi Rapace as an actress. So maybe I'll get around to them at some point. I didn't care much for the David Fincher remake, but last time I saw that was yeeeears ago. So maybe that's due a rewatch and hopefully a reevaluation.

I'd definitely recommend. Noomi Rapace is perfect as Lisbet... I really rate her as an actress too.

…Sound of Freedom……an incredibly intense and tense, powerful and difficult true story of Tim Ballard, an incredible ‘saviour’ and campaigner….8/10…

[Ammi]

…Elevation……post apocalyptic giant bug-like creatures who don’t like heights, lots of adrenaline filled moments…a perfect Sunday afternoon movie…6.5/10….

[Ammi]

…The Order……very tense and edge of the seat/thrilling ride based on a true story of a white supremacist group that aimed to overthrow the US government back in the 80’s….7/10….

[Livia]

Salem's Lot. This is probably the second remake of the original series that I've watched. Still think the original is scariest but this version was really good. 7.5/10

[Ammi]

…Blood Father……it’s a long time since I’ve seen Mel Gibson in a kick ass character role…the storyline felt very off the shelf and more of what’s come before but it zipped along and was absolutely fine as a watch…6/10…

[Cherie]

Bridget Jones Mad about the Boy


Classic Bridget, a major cheesefest, nice bit of nostalgia

[Ammi]

…Cherry……such a completely absorbing story told in parts but there really is only two parts which are before PTSD and then after and the horrors experienced during military service…excellently cast and acted and just a harrowing story ….8/10…

The Dressmaker : Very enjoyable and different Australian film, love Kate Winslet 7/10

Both remakes get the "Ralphie at the window" scene wrong. It was creepy in the first adaption because he was slow moving, almost hypnotic; and mostly normal looking (just a bit corpsey).

The glowing eyes and fast movements make it funny.

I agree. I kind of expected more from this latest remake as Stephen King was involved and James Wan, who I really like, was a producer.

Suspiria (2018)

Pretty damn good. It had a few new twists that helped further differentiate itself from the original (as if the stripped back aesthetics and radically different colour palette didn't do that already), but it also overstayed its welcome with a resolution to a new character and subplot that I simply didn't care about. I prefer the original film with its surreal atmosphere and hypnotically bright colours that combine to create a very trippy and spooky cinematic experience.

…The Gorge……really liked it a lot…Anya Taylor Joy and Miles Teller playing two highly trained brutal killers and assigned to protect some kind of gruesome master race of killing beings in a gorge, what’s not to like….and Sigourney Weaver as well trying to sneak in on the action…marvellous stuff…8/10….
