[Spoiler Alert] Film reviews and ratings

Pet Semetary Blood Lines =6/10
Liked the idea of Judd as a young guy, and his friend Timmy, who he speaks about in the original film. Turned out quite *, but worth a watch if you're wanting a new horror film to pass the time.
Exorcist: Believer 6/10. Probably a wee bit better than the new Pet Semetary.
Both * but worth a watch if you like they kind of films, and seen the originals, coz they both try to go back to the original films in a way. But both could've been much better.

P.s. am no Barry Norman

 

Top Gun Maverick again.
Brilliant action and quite funny.

 

Killers of the Flower Moon

Thought it was brilliant. Interesting and brutal story. Great performances from DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone and De Niro.

It was definitely overly long though. I wasn’t bored at any point, but it’s asking a lot of people to sit for 3 and a half hours when it can be very, very slow at times.

 

Not long out of it.

Thought it was brilliant. It’s very long, but think shortening it would do the story an injustice. The book goes into quite a few of those murders in more detail.

I love Scorsese films and never want them to end anyway tbf. Would give that an 8.5/10.

 

Agree with @Officer Doofy & @Saul Goodman Scoresese as always delivers. A real actor's director. Llily Gladstone was incredible, and when in a cast and sharing so many scenes with DiCaprio especially & DeNiro also to be able to steal the limelight is hella impressive. Brutal story needed to be told.

It's a shame that it's not really found it's audience at the cinema, because it cost $200m to make apparently and really deserves a lot more people to check it out, but a runtime is a long, long time for a lot of people who have the attention spans of a tiktoks vid being too long. Hopefully it does in the long run on streaming, but then again not a whole lot of Scorsese's films have made it big at the box office. Travesty really.

 

Saw X - Disappointing.

 

Five Nights at Freddies

I have sat through this twice now and it still makes no sense at all to me. All it leaves me with is questions but overall really didn't do much for me as a story/movie. My daughter assures me that as a fan of the game/s she thinks it's great, but i have no idea about any of that. It was kinda cool to have Matthew Lilliard and even older throwback, Mary Stuart Masterson (used to like her in a lot back in the 80s and early 90's and seemed to fall off the world for the last 30-odd years.

 

I'm guessing you're referring to the new Guy Ritchie one?

 

Those who wish me dead. Decent enough.
The negotiator. Good stuff.

 

The Great Wall

 

Becky. Netflix. Good stuff

 

There's also a sequel, not as good as the 1st but still worth a watch.

 

Yeh I seen that. Will check it out

 

The wailing. Absolutely tremendous. Not a fan of foreign cinema but this had me gripped all the way.
10x10 Kelly Reilly and Luke Evans. Decent watch

 

The Little Things. Ok

 

Watched Parasite again. I enjoyed the second watch more.

 

How to Have *

Easily one of the best movies of 2023 so far. Well written and superbly directed, every scene feels real and genuine, and wow, Mia McKenna-Bruce is absolutely phenomenal.

 

Love scorcese and Leo but don’t know if I’ll put myself through 3.5 hours in the cinema for it. Really wish they’d bring in a little 10-15 minute interlude for movies over 3 hours.
