I finally got around to seeing The Gentlemen last night. Classic Guy Ritchie, a lot of similarity to LS&2SB and Snatch.
Not really laugh out loud funny but certainly amusing, well worth a watch.
Saw 1917 as planned - I really enjoyed it although the panning shots were all blurred and I struggled to make them out (probably not helped by being on the front row and very close to the screen). There were a couple of bits that jarred slightly but overall I thought it was excellently made.
Watched Jojo Rabbit at the weekend, I really enjoyed it, but it's not really the film the trailers portray it as, I could have probably worked that out from the reviews but I tend to avoid them bar the headlines.
Very thought provoking and the last act really smacked me around the head.
Parasite: basically a feature length, Korean version of Inside No.9
And absolutely none the worse for that!
As a counter to the worst film thread, thought I’d add a few of the good’uns I’ve watched. Without the cinema, have still managed to see a few current(ish) films - the Invisible Man, Queen & Slim, Monos & Animals.
All worth a watch. Invisible Man better than I expected, especialy at the start; Queen & Slim, not quite as good as expected - slightly missing the jeopardy and tension you’d get from Bonnie & Clyde or Thelma & Louise. Probably would’ve been better in the cinema.
Last cinema visit was the day before they closed - The Hunt, which has been roundly slagged by the critics, but was pretty entertaining, I thought.
Still got Bait, Ad Astra & Knives Out.
Knives out was okay in a campy 80's sort of way. Enjoyed Invisible Man too.
Still got As Astra myself to do. Struggling to build up the enthusiasm for that.

7500 on Amazon is well worth watching. Terrorist plane thriller with Joseph Gordon-Levitt on pilot duties.
An actual - decent film produced by Amazon studios. Shades of United 93 but far more B-movie equipped.
Impressively shot - more or less entirely in a cockpit of a plane and devoid of a music soundtrack - intense stuff.
Only the last third was a bit of a come down.
Nail biting and cold.
Boom
Tragedy that no one will be able to watch it in the cinema 😭😭
Boom
Autocorrect fail?
When you get the chance watch Boss Level.
Groundhog Day meets Edge of Tomorrow meets a video game.
With Frank Grillo being excellent backed up by the divine Annabelle Wallis with a bit of Mel Gibson and a great cameo from Michelle Yeoh.

Sky been plugging that Russell Crowe, Unhinged thing. It was ok, had some tension, but..
