Mission Impossible:TFR was disappointing. Basically a very long trailer/exposition then a Michael Bay movie, into an silent indie film and then finally a Mission Impossible film. All done in unnecessary close up and, for the most part, very quick cuts.

The Amateur is entertaining for the most part, although its implausible plot requires a lot from the viewer to stay on board as it progresses.

Thunderbolts* / The New Avengers is probably the best Marvel film in quite some time. It does a good job at addressing mental health issues, making that a primary focus of the film, and delivers some pretty decent action

Final Destination: Bloodlines does exactly what it's supposed to with some decent over the top death scenes and some nice nods to the series' greatest hits. I'm sure there'll be more to come.

The Surfer is a pretty good, if slightly long, exploration of toxicity. Slightly more reserved from this Nic Cage character than some of his performances as h e battles the locals and himself.

Sebastian does fairly well to address a difficult subject but is quite repetitive for a sizable middle portion but doesn't give enough time to expand the story when it goes in a slightly different direction towards the end.

Four Mothers - a charming, occasionally moving and frequently funny Irish film about indecisiveness, anxiety, and caring for a relative while trying but failing to live your own life. Best supporting actor nod for the tablet😂.

The Life List - a fairly charming but very predictable rom/com/therapy film. Ok to unwind to but doesn't offer anything you wouldn't expect. Sofia Carson is ok, Kyle Allen and Connie Britton are decent in likeable roles similar to their previous movies.

Black Bag is a decent spy thriller which simmers nicely throughout its short run time. Its lack of action and slow burn probably won't be for everyone and the ending also felt a little rushed, so it may have worked slightly better as a miniseries #movies #filmsky

Mickey 17 has its moments but is the least subtle film you may ever see and the voiceover is, for the most part, particularly annoying. Robert Pattinson is good but I didn't think much of Mark Ruffalo's Musk/Trump pantomime hybrid.

Flight Risk is a wierd film. An action thriller with only minor thrills, relatively little drama and plot, and seemingly wanting, but failing, to also play for laughs. Also, what was the point of Wahlberg's hair piece? Thankfully it was only 90 mins.

Memoir of a 🐌 is a really charming and funny stop-motion. It has some terrific biting Aussie humour, really cares about its characters and deals well with the themes it touches on. I guess it's a bit like Up, but for a slightly more grown up audience.

Has anyone in the UK noticed age inappropriate trailers showing before family films? The Odeon I'm at just had the trailer for the new Danny Dyer film, Marching Powder (probably an 18) before Captain America (a 12A) 🤔

I'm Still Here is an excellent, subtle and moving slowburn film about the impact on a Brazilian family and, in particular, a mother, from a vile and murderous dictatorship. A terrific central performance from Fernanda Torres. Highly recommended.

The Monkey
was ok, like Final Destination but with a slightly underwhelming story added in. Theo James is good but not sure he needed to play both parts and I found the naration unnecessary. Also the kid's adopted dad should've had more screen time. #filmsky #movies
