Movie recommendations

Yes,  went went Sunday night splurged out and had a decent 'date' night food was decent considering.

Nothing manky either, as for the film Napoleon, decent enough and a live story to keep her happy, it went by quick enough.

Size proportion done very well as I'd say Phoenix is nearly 5"9?

Headed to Maddens for a swifty at the end!

I went to see Napoleon last night myself. Overall I enjoyed it.  There are some very good scenes and I actually enjoyed the battle of Austerlitz.  I had to go and google the battle again when I got home as I don't remember reading that it was all in the snow.  A bit of artistic license there.

As expected though, it came across as a bit of an overview at times.  As it tried to skim through so much, I felt that apart from Napoleon and Josephine the characters lacked any depth. That was always going to be very difficult. His life would be more suited to a long running series.

Yeah, for a film that was over two and a half hours, it still lacked depth on things, it did require the romance to keep the other half from falling asleep. But agreed, there is so much during that period that was skimmed over that it probably needs a series to get that depth out there

But I also enjoyed it too and the time went by quick enough

The Men Who Stare at Goats - pure dung.

Watched When Evil Lurks the other night.  Effective little horror movie from Argentina.  Reminded me of a long episode of Hammer House of Horror from the 80s.

Watched Oppenheimer, too long and nothing special. 6 out of 10 at best.

The Creator was visually amazing, was very good but could have been better. 7 out of 10.

The Killer, expected more, bit like a film version of Dexter, only assassin instead of forensics expert. 6 out of 10.

The Whale, better than expected. 7 out of 10.

The killer was the biggest pile of balls ever I watched. I didn't have a clue what was going on.

Killers of the Flower Moon pretty average. Actually considering its length I would say poor enough.

Just finished Leave The World Behind. 7/10. I liked it better than the missus.

Bit harsh to like a movie over your missus...

Really enjoyed Leave the World behind, although the ending was pretty poor.

Me too. The ending didn't bother me but that's what annoyed the wife.

Watched it last night, felt it needed something else, but not the worst film

I went at the weekend and saw the new Hunger Games film, A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.  It was about a 5/10 for me.  Good for a family outting.

I had set out to read this book about a year or so ago.  I really enjoyed the 1st half of it and then I actually gave up on in as I began to lose interest when there was a shift in the story.  Unsurprisingly I felt the film went downhill in a similar way.

Still, if you enjoyed the Hunger Games series it is interesting to see how the Donald Sutherland character Snow becomes the person he is.
