Went to see the Ferrari movie at Christmas. 10% of it is about the racing mostly in the 50s. The rest is about mistresses,wives and illegitimate sons and all the ramifications. Very disappointing as was Oppenheimer TBH. Only decent movie I seen this year was "killers of the flower moon"

Quality has shifted to the series format now, I am currently watching "Slow Horses" which is great entertainment.

I thought it was quirky, interesting enough and enjoyed the soundtrack, but I'm not quite sure wtf it was trying to say.

If it was simply a zany critique of the class system, the "twist" was all a bit pointless and unnecessary. Not sure there was any artistic merit in any of the particularly shocking scenes or if they added anything to either character or story.

Have to say I really enjoyed it. I could see it being marmite though. Keoghan is brilliant in it. What a f>cked up character.

I quite enjoyed it too, I know Keoghan getting a bit of stick about the accent every once in a while, but he did the creepy thing very well.


Watched this today, really enjoyed it. A lot of scenes with Carey mulligan were funny, intentional or not. It reminded me of the Talented Mr Ripley. Barry Keoghan has been in the gym.

Didn't get watching much over the Christmas break apart from few Xmas movies with the kids but looking forward to watching killers of the flowers moon once kids are pilled away to school again.

*Just on the Christmas movies, I managed to watch some howlers, but special mention has to go to Candy cane lane.

I haven't watched Candy Cane Lane, but my 7 year old daughter must have watched it half a dozen times over christmas.

I've eventually got around to watching Wolf of Wallstreet.
For me, it didn't live up to the hype.
The excesses of Wallstreet were entertaining I suppose.

Worth a watch for Margot Robbie alone though!

Saltburn was very good, some of the scenes though were ridiculously over the top, we already knew he was a complete weirdo they didnt need to go the extra mile lol

Captain Obvious

First movie I've watched in 2024 was The Silence of the Lambs, a timeless classic.

On too late for me last night but definitely a re-watcher.

Really enjoyed it. A modern day version of Rambo First blood

Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon or Manhunter never fail to disappoint.

Watched Crimson Tide the other night for first time in years. Still brilliant.

First 2/3 of Lambs is total perfection, ending was brilliant first time I seen it, less so since, but only because I've seen it a few times
