Last Film You Saw

Holland. 5/10

Trying to catch up on the major streaming releases this year. Tense and nonsense all in one. The issue with this types of films is the reveal is always underwhelming.
 
Shock and awe a film about Iraq and the lies about weapons of mass destruction which none were ever found 7/8 / 10
 
The Gorge (2025) - 6/10

Still catching up on a few films this year, started out great, 2 sharpshooters tasked with manning this gorge, bit of mystery, couple of decent characters. Final act just went to shit though.
 
Locked.

Bill Skarsgard tries to steal anthony Hopkins car and gets locked in.

Was ok, but I must admit I was kinda on Hopkins side.
 
Havoc - a John Woo in his Hong Kong years throwback from the bloke that made The Raid. OK, but like Hard Boiled, it doesn’t make any sense.

Followed by the new 4k release of Peckinpah’s Cross of Iron, which is a film that gets better and better with age.
 
Watched Dunkirk with my family last Friday evening. My 13 year old daughter asked if we could watch it. She said her history teacher told her it was a good film.

We enjoyed it. Of course. I knew the story but hadn't ever seen it before.
 
The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970) directed by the great Billy Wilder. An affectionate take on the legend's last unreported case involving the Loch Ness monster, Queen Victoria, Trappist monks, teams of midgets and an espionage plot. Holmes' drug use and a gay subtext adds to the fun. Recommended.

Green Book.

Thought it was OK when it first came out, the overhype always affects films like this.

Just rewatched it, what an absolutely brilliant film. 9/10
 
Just seen a video on YT discussing a proposed reboot of Highlander, with Henry Cavill as Connor MacLeod...



Not sure how I feel about it, to be honest. The original is a bit "clunky"; compared to today's CGI/AI effects, the SFX in the Russell Mulcahy film are, let's be honest, amateurish. But that's what was around in the mid 80s, I guess. And although it's looking dated, it has a certain charm to it. And a cracking soundtrack!
