I want to see The Holdovers

Cocaine Bear - couldn't sit through it.
John Wick - VG/G but not up to the earlier ones.
The Beekeeper - He's no John Wick, not even a G for this.

My wife liked Anatomy of a Fall, but I didn't see it.

Nearly three hours is a long time in the cinema, but I may go to see Dune, I liked the first instalment.

RIP Bernard Hill



Age hasn't been kind to the CGI in those movies.

My favourite scene across the three movies.

I watched Back To Black a few weeks ago. A truly gut wrenching film illustrating the downward spiral of an ordinary girl thrust into a world of fame and press intrusion.
I thought the descent into alcoholism and her self desruction was dealt with brilliantly.

Civil War (the recent Alex Garland film, not the Marvel movie) is pretty good. Trailer sells it as more of an action flick than it is, although the last quarter delivers on that front, but it's an interesting road movie the rest of the time. Pontificating on everything from the role of conflict journalism to where a nation's fault lines are and the ingloriousness of war.
