Last Film You Saw

Leap of Faith (1992) - 7/10
Steve Martin plays one of those faith healers that cons the audience. Liam Neeson plays a sheriff that knows he's a fraud. Quite entertaining actually.
 
Project Almanac (2015) - 7/10
5 high school kids messing around with time travel, shot from first person perspective but works better than most films that do it. Actually quite fun to see them messing with the 'science' of it, right up my street.

Stuber (2019) - 6/10
Bautista plays a detective trying to avenge his partner. He gets lasik so can't drive and has to ring an uber driver named Stuart play by Kumail Nanjani, 'Stuber', whilst working a case. Actually quite funny in parts, you get what you expect with this.
 
Babygirl (2024) - 7/10
Nicole Kidman plays a CEO who wants to mix up her sex life but suspects it's too much for her husband. She's great in this.
 
Seen a load of films since I last posted on this thread and have some thoughts about most of them...

Wicked - shockingly good. I thought making a 3hr film out of act one of a musical was a terrible idea. It's probably my second favourite musical movie after Cabaret. If you told me two years ago that Ariana Grande would give a genuinely excellent comedic performance in a great film I'd have thought you were joking.

The Substance - gross, interesting body horror. Liked it a lot. And it sticks with you.

The Gentlemen - classic Guy Ritchie, not his best but towards the end it really picks up when you start to understand what the characters have been plotting and how it all unfolds.

The Wizard of Oz - we watched this to see if it made sense in conjunction with Wicked (it doesn't, at all). I had seen this at least five times before but not for about 15 years and it's amazing how many lines I remembered. A really sweet, fun, nostaligic film and an impressive accomplishment for its time.

The Prestige - great. Twists around every corner. Didn't expect Michael Caine to be the strongest point of the film but he really tied it together.

American Psycho - liked it, didn't love it as much as I hoped I would. But in eight years I've never seen my partner laugh as hard as she did at the 'Hip to Be Square' sequence, so that's something.

Terrifier series - first one is shit, second is OK, third is a genuinely competent horror movie. Still not my kind of thing at all, but I liked the third one well enough, although maybe I was just drunk at the time.

Joker: Folie à Deux - Jesus christ. Shocking.
 
I watched a couple of films as I'm abroad. Never had time to watch them at home.

"I.S.S."

Run-of-the-mill sci-fi. Ultimately becomes uninteresting once the first 'twist' comes in. Boring, actually.


"A Different Man"

I like Sebastian Stan. He's solid and dependable without being spectacular. This project looked like it was bringing the best out of him, but the storyline gets super silly after 85% of the film. It could have easily finished earlier and left its audience with much food for thought. But the end result left me, in particular, with a bitter taste and wondering what the f was the point of it.

Shame, really.

Fuck me it'd be like licking marmite of a rusty bin lid :)

Champions - Woody Harrelson in a ‘feel good’ movie as he coaches a special needs kids basketball team. Gave us a few chuckles but wouldn’t watch it again.

Previous night we watched 28 Days Later as the wife had never seen it. I paid for it in Sky Store because they listed it as HD but absolutely no way should it be called HD - picture quality is SD at best (result of the way they filmed it I’m guessing).
Still a fun movie though.
