Watched Beasts of no nation the other day.... Kid soldiers, tough at times

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

Surely this was a part 1 or something? It had a feeling of the show "Lost" about it.  Exchange the deer for a random polar bear...

Any takers for the new Godzilla? Have read good reviews.

I really enjoyed this movie and the ending doesn't the deserve the flak it's getting.

To me the story is one of how disarray unfolds, rather than how people respond to disarray and restore order. Its natural conclusion was people going into hiding.

Should we really need a completed arc, and every dot crossed, in order to enjoy a story?

The deer were explained by the way ie animals can sense danger before humans can. Instead of looking for warning signs through phones and TVs, just look around you.

If you just reinterpret the movie so that the little girl is the main protagonist, the ending is perfect.

No matter what way you interpret it, the ending was crap.

Watched American Underdog on Netflix. Very good.

Nah, it was crap. The story didn't have a conclusive end.

Watched Leave the World Behind over Christmas there. Thought it was good, and the ending worked for me. If we're being critical, I'd say there was a wee bit of theme overload at times. But maybe that was deliberate. Interesting stuff.

Also watched The Creator. Topical, looked very nice, but tripped in bog-standard action movie territory too often. Forgettable enough in the end.

Watched that Old Dad's on Netflix. It's by Bill Burr, couple of funny bits but story very basic and done to death.

Thought saltburn was a bit shit. Some good acting though.

Haven't seen it.

I read that it was basically a rehash of his stand-up act - grumpy middle-aged man, struggling to deal with the changing mores of the younger generations.

Yeah pretty much with a bit of the same old relationship story told in every movie. Couple of funny bits but certainly no classic.
