What's the last or current Movie you Watched ?

[Shelter]

Saltburn. I know I'm really late, but I finally got around to watching it and did not expect that twist at the end. Very good movie, but I've had the song Murder On The Dancefloor stuck in my head ever since.

Late but never too late. This film you can watch today and as well long in the future.

ELECTRIC STATE (2025)

An orphaned teen hits the road with a mysterious robot to find her long-lost brother, teaming up with a smuggler and his wisecracking sidekick. Imdb

This is a Russo brothers movie and has Chris Pratt; Ke Huy Quan; Stanley Tucci on the cast list as well as voice work from Woody Harrelson and apparently it cost $320million. It was OK, it looks great and you can see where the $$$ went, it's entertaining but forgettable - but with that cast and cost it should have been a better 2hr 8min.

Question: shall I watch it or not??? I don't know. Fighting since some days!

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas 1998
About the writer Hunter S Thompson, famous for being a user of every drug known to mankind. It's a one joke movie, if you like that one joke then good but I lost interest half way through which I normaly never do. I suppose you need to be stoned to enjoy this, sadly I was sober.

It was too trippy for me; I stopped after the first 20 minutes. One day I will try to watch the entire movie.

THE GREAT WALL (2016)

In ancient China, a group of European mercenaries encounters a secret army that maintains and defends the Great Wall of China against a horde of monstrous creatures. Imdb

This popped up on the All4 free streaming service in the UK. Initially I wasn't going to watch - then I saw it was directed by Yimou Zhang, who directed the excellent SHADOW; HOUSE OF FLYING TIGERS and the truely magnificent HERO. Matt Damon and Willaim Defoe are the "western" stars but they both look out of place. It looks great with some well filmed action sequences which is just as well as the dialogue is pretty corny, and it has an odd plot premise - when I walked a section of the wall a few years back none of the guides mentioned anything about it being built to protect against attacks from alien monsters from outer space!

The trailer shows that Pedro Pascal is also in the movie. How was he? Does he have a big role?

Yes, He plays the lifelong ally and friend of Matt Damon's character

WALKING TALL (2004)

A former U.S. soldier returns to his hometown to find it overrun by crime and corruption, which prompts him to clean house. Imdb

Feeling tired so wanted something short and not too brain taxing and this was 1hr 26min, stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the "goodie" and Neal Donaugh as the "baddie" I would like to say it was dumb but fun....sadly just dumb.

HUMMINGBIRD (2013)

A damaged ex-special forces soldier navigating London's criminal underworld seizes an opportunity to assume another man's identity. Imdb

This early Jason Statham punchy; slappy; stabby; kicky; headbutty; shooty movie is (like yesterdays Walking Tall) on the Rakut3n streamer. Mainly dumb but fun (well it is a Jason Statham movie!)

CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD (2025)

Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, finds himself in the middle of an international incident and must discover the motive behind a nefarious global plan. Imdb

I nearly turned off at around 15mins... I did turn off at 55mins. There's only so much flying around then fighty punchy slappy followed by flying around and fighty punchy slappy I can take. Dodgy plot; dodgy dialogue. Apparently it makes more sense if you have watched "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier" tv series but I couldn't get interested in that either.

There is an enormous plot spoiler in the trailer, from after I switched off, and it means the plot was even dumber than I thought.

The Brutalist 2024
Too recent for me, and so long. And not just is too long but feels too long. I suppose it must be as worthy as everyone says it is but I was worn out by the end and unable to appreciate all that excellence.
