Well made and nice cinematography, but once it gets to the (mild) horror scenes, it falls flat. And I never was a fan on twist endings that leave no clue through the movie.
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.
Not a grand and majestic opus, but a rather personal story where each chapter shows the same course of events through the different perspectives of the protagonists. Although they almost give the impression of cosplaying the characters, the acting is definitely competent - with Comer being the obvious highlight along with the snarky libertine baguette Affleck.
The atmosphere is believable as well, good ol' Ridley's still got it. Fortunately, I was not familiar with this specific piece of history so I could actually enjoy some genuine suspense at the end of the #metoo duel.
The Last Duel 8/10: I thought Affleck and Damon would be outta place but it worked, the acting was solid all round. I'd score higher but I think they retread too much material from each perspective (they could have cut that down).
It was like I have ideas let's put them all in the movie. It was weird, lacked coherence and more thought put into the script.
Not enough goat.

No Time To Die: 2/10 3 hours of absolute garbage story , debilitating wokenes and two full retard villains with no memorable scenes AT ALL , and then that full spastik ending, like seriously get fucked hollywood, TRASH writing
The Card Counter 8/10: Thought this was pretty good, its a fairly dark and character driven story. Solid performance from Oscar Isaac and the small cast, been some decent movies the last couple of months.
Last Night In Soho: 6-7/10 Enjoyed the first half but the second half let it down for me, also the crappy effects majorly let it down imo (without spoiling, less if more, the cgi stuff was terrible).
This has to be one of the most awesome documentaries I've ever seen. Almost 8 hours too
It helps of course that I'm a major Beatles-fan, but watching rock&roll history unfold before your eyes left me watching with open mouth & ears. So many goosebumps moments, like watching Paul compose Get Back out of thin air, John proposing one of his new songs "On the Road to Marrakech" which turns out to be a super early version of Jealous Guy, George playing All Things Must Pass with Paul & John on backings, and so on.
The documentary also disproves a lot of theories and rumours about this period of The Beatles. I always thought they pretty much hated each other at this point and were generally miserable, but it turns out the atmosphere was actually good and they had lots of fun.
There is of course some tension with George, leaving the band briefly, but in the end that turns out to be more of a footnote in these sessions than anything else.
Highly recommended!

Just got from cinema and I found it great not perfect but definitely the director knew his material, previous Spidy movies. It has fan service and a lot of veiled fourth wall breaking and patting on the back but overall it had feels, some really good acting.
On cons side some really bad CGI, bad photography and clearly sets with shitty lightning.
And cheesus Willem DaFoe <3 that sweet prince, force of nature, every scene he is in he steals and that smile that damn smile...
And it has this:

The were a few funny scenes at the beginning that make it a 6, it would otherwise be a 5.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021) - 5/10
I feel like this could have been a decent pilot for a tv series, not a movie.
Some things worked, some things didn't.
Matrix Rickrolled - 0/10
Borderlining on parody and almost so bad it's funny good but it's bad bad. Script written by 5 year old, overall SyFy channel movie quality, bad audio. And that slow mo...
