Watched a few films recently.

Manodrome - About a vulnerable adult getting recruited by a celibacy cult. It was weird and not that good. A shit Fight Club 3/10

The Killer - Inane shite. Boring plot with little dialogue and a crap storyline. A shit John Wick. 4/10

The Burial - Good craic with an interesting story. It's not going to win any Oscars but it was a good story a solid 7.5/10

Pain Hustlers - It was grand and passed some time without massively offending me. Dopesick is better 6/10

Nyad - Really interesting story about an interesting character. It maybe isn't everyone's cup of tea but I enjoyed it. 7/10

Fargo - Rewatched it after maybe 15 years. It's class if you haven't seen it you should watch it. If you have you should watch it again! 9/10

Watched all the original Planet of the Apes movies recently, first one still a classic, rest got worse as the sequels progressed.

The Marvels wasn't as bad I expected it to be. Nowhere near Thor: Love and Thunder levels of sh*t.  In fact it was ok.

I went to the Maxx to see it.  I counted 10 people in such a huge cinema. If that's a reflection of it's sales then it cant be doing well.

Going to see Napoleon on Friday. Looks unreal from the trailers but hearing mixed reviews.

Keep us posted. It could be another of these ones that critic's love and Joe Public isn't fussed on.

I'd like to see it in the cinema but....

There's absolutely no way I could convince her to go.

Is that place good? I just picture  that the seats are a bit manky after being open a while.

Never did the cinema myself but for a show like napoleon that she wouldn't be interested in I am genuinely considering it

I went to one of the Hobbit shows on my own when it came out. Had 3 kids under 4 at home and the 3.5hrs of peace was like therapy ;D
Sure you don't even have to go ask for a single ticket now

Same when I took my son in NYC two weeks ago. I believe that chain only has an odd showing now, just two weeks after opening.

I thought it was enjoyable, especially that young Pakistani-American character who was brilliantly played. Ending was a bit weak, but overall it was much better than some of the stuff Marvel have been putting out the past few years, Guardians excepted (the Black Panther sequel was promising but way too long).

From what I've seen, a lot of the backlash against this particular movie is down to misogyny and an irrational dislike of Brie Larson for some reason.

Went to see Napoleon. First time in the cinema for about 40 years, and I really enjoyed it.

I would recommend it, but better if you go in with a little knowledge of Robisphere, the Directory, Tallyrand etc.

The battle of Austerlitz looked a bit simplified, but then it probably needed cut the battles would be made the film 5 hours.

Actually, I would watch it a second time.
