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

First for me was Sisu

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

I watched Fargo there recently while waiting for a new episode of the series. Excellent film.

Jell 0 Biafra

Watched Maggie Moore(s) on the plane back from Ireland yesterday.  Not bad.  Small town in which two women called Maggie Moore are found murdered.  Reminded me of Fargo and Pulp Fiction (though not as good as those).  The interactions between the two main cops are very funny.

Watched the first half of Killers of the flower moon. Underwhelmed to say the least. Does it get better in the 2nd half or more of the same? Hate not finishing a movie, but not sure I want to revisit.

Pretty consistent pace throughout. Average enough film that I was expecting more from given the hype and actors/director involved.

Cillian Murphy won best actor at the golden globes overnight for his role in Oppenheimer.

Finally saw Oppenheimer over the weekend. Brilliant film. Three hours just flew by.

Well deserved IMO.  His performance was the best I watched last year.

Attempted to watch Napoleon last night, extremely disappointing imo. Gave up on it. So much history / character to work with and they butchered it.

It defo needs an expensive mini series to get everything in, catering for the 'romance' didn't cut it, that'd mean but there was so much skipped or passed by
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Yip, crying out for a series. It was funded by Apple as well, so 🤷

Nyad on Netflix not too bad.
