Think Anora was released in 24 but got most of its watching in 25. Best film I saw by a mile.

Just been to see Saipan... the fall-out between Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy.. World Cup 2002.
Wasn't going to bother only seen it got good reviews.
Excellent. Highly recommend. I'll say no more lest be spoilers. Was all very sad the whole thing... though a lot of other emotions in that movie!

Not just the story but overall context and was a part I didn't know and certainly phonecalls I wasn't aware of.
Is a pity Ian Harte didn't go home early tho that's not covered in the movie #useless

Captain Scarlet

Not 2025 either bit only saw The Holdovers this year and it was very good.


Actually was poor for movies on my end, but saw more of the top TV shows.

Glass Onion was good, after a ropey 2nd one.
them mysterons are always killing me but im grand after a few days.sickenin aul dose all the same.

The holdovers was rightly nominated for best picture. Great show.

It's not a documentary like. Lots of the movie, as acknowledged by the filmmakers, categorically DIDN'T happen.

I'd very much doubt what I'm referring to didn't happen or those involved would have said. Anyway if  it's not for you it's not for you...
It is an excellent movie.

Nuremberg a brilliant film. Russell Crowe is brilliant in it.

Begonia was decent (I'll not give anything away plot-wise by getting more specific). Jesse Plemons is a very underrated actor in my opinion.

Sisu 2 not as good as the first one.

Five Nights at Freddys 2 was dung.

Knives Out 3 dung also.

Really enjoyed the new Frankenstein film from Guillermo Del Toro. I've never read the actual book, but supposedly the movie is relatively faithful to it.

Had to switch it off. Brutal. The first 2 were better if I remember right?

Enjoyed this too.  Typical Del Toro style.
