Last Film You Watched

Watched home alone and home alone 2 in consecutive weeks with the boys (aged7)

Home Alone is still fun to watch, kids buzzed off it. 8/10

Home Alone 2 is odd. They changed Joe Pesci into Mutley for some reason which is jarring after the 2nd time. Think if they hadn't decided to include a house that belonged to a relative that was supposed to be getting refurbed but was beyond gutted it may have worked. The toy store would have been ideal to stage the trap section of the movie. Also the tool chest bumping down the stairs slowly as the two actors pretend to be stupid for what felt like minutes was by far the worst scene. 4/10

I think maybe you’re looking too deeply into just a festive comedy on the second one lol
 
Last weekend:

Ava (Jessica Chastain) - not bad, wouldn't ever watch it again.
Underwater. Alien (but rubbish) on the ocean floor. I cant stand Kristen Stewart either. Again, wouldn't watch it again.
Peppermint (Jennifer Garner). Garbage.

And now the best for last....and brilliant it is too!

The 12th Man - Norwegian WWII true story/historical drama, harrowing, utterly harrowing, but a brilliant watch. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is outstanding as the SS Officer Kurt Stage chasing down a Norwegian Resistence fighter in frigid landscape. Fantastic film.
 
it’s beautiful, no wait.... that’s Anne Hathaway. Anyway, the films boss. After my 7 hour marathon over 2 days the official scores are in:

Begins - 9/10 - great back story and a general overall ace movie. Needed more scarecrow and Neeson was the wrong choice (IMO of course)
DK - 10/10 - just utterly brilliant, topped off by Ledger and Eckhart playing their roles superbly
DKR - 9.5/10 - Ties everything together lovely. Hathaway is pyar sex and I spend the next 2 days walking around my house doing the Bane voice and annoying my bird.
Can make it even worse for her by showing her banecat ;)

Neeson was also the wrong choice to play Hannibal in the a team brilliant though he is in pretty much everything else.

I was really eager to see DKR when it came out, and went in with a very high opinion of Nolan’s craft. Just seemed to have a real quality touch in every part of his movies, a real master craftsman operating at the blockbuster end of the movie industry. I imagined he just didn’t allow anything to make the cut if it wasn’t right.

DKR had me wondering what the hell he was doing. Just seemed like plot holes weren’t important. Characters were weaker. From what I remember there was some reallly weak dialogue. I’d have to watch again to remember exactly what put me off it, but I remember some scene where either Batman shows up out of nowhere wherever catwoman is, or vice-versa, and it making zero sense.

if it was any old superhero movie I probably would have found it fun enough and a decent movie, but coming from Nolan and after the previous two I really left the cinema thinking it was a messy lazy slog of a movie.

Interstellar was worse though!


I refuse to believe that Ledger passing away didn't throw everything out the window. I cannot believe that the Joker was basically an afterthought of the middle movie for half of it if he wasn't supposed to be the entire focus of the 3rd movie.

Not a bad point for what affected it. I’ve always just stuck with my first impression. He was bored of Batman and wanted to move on and thus you don’t see the same attention to detail and quality control as before.
 
Tenet, finally

Enjoyed it but its mental
Mental isn't the word. Who thinks up this dog turd?

I might make a film where god decides to play around with inverse sperm and the person who wrote this abomination wasn't born. Part 2 will be were the doc from back to the future invents a device that has an inverse effect regarding rubbish films so that I can get the 2.5 hours I invested in the crap back.
