Last Film You Saw

All 4 Hunger games my daughter wanted to watch something together and chose these. Not a bad watch 6/10, we have the new prequel to do next week.
Jurassic Evolution please let the franchise go now 5/10
 
Van Diemans Land 2009

This was once the name of Tasmania, the Australian state. It is a forested wilderness.
The notorious Port Arthur prison is still there, now a tourist attraction.

I really enjoyed this one. It's based on the true story of an escaped convict in colonial Australia who ate his mates.

Theres an element of survival shows to it plus the landscapes themselves seem barren and hostile thanks to good cinematography.

Acting is all great no dud actors or poor directing its a solid well made film.

My god those Irish Scottish and English prisoners had it tough.
 
Cleaner
It's a bad Die Hard. There's a skyscraper and terrorists. It's not great. I'm not even sure that it deserves 'not great'.
Daisy Ridley is a window cleaner in the tower, albeit one of those rare window cleaners who's been in the army for 4 years and can shoot a housefly at 50 yards with a handgun she's not used before (no, she doesn't actually do this).
But she's basically indestructible in a way John McClane can only dream of.
There's still little evidence that Ridley can act much; this comes across as (aside from the Die Hard set-up) a clone of a Ruby Rose film (where a military veteran is a doorperson in a block of flats). And she displays exactly the same extremely limited range as Rose does in any of her films.
That's not mentioning a couple of unnecessary Star Wars ticks. And the terrible CGI. And goons who behave like computer game goons where teamwork is entirely optional.
Clive Owen is okay though, in a Clive Owen-y type way.

I watched the trailer for it and decided that Snow White and the seven shorter than average people was probably more realistic so gave it a swerve.
 
I, finally, put myself through watching "Materialists", last night.

Good grief, what a waste of time. All the main characters just seemed like NPCs (secondary and non-influential) to the whole film. It was a very weak look at society's search for happiness and doesn't offer up any real answers to a question it raises.

Pointless film.
 
F1-The Movie.....I enjoyed it and I didn't fall asleep in the cinema whilst watching it, so it gets a thumbs up from me.
Not as good as Le Man's 66 though.
