    Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre (2023)

    It had a bunch of great moments but I have seen better films by Guy.

    Tried to watch The Girl on the Train. Erased it after 10 minutes because it is trash.

    You should try the book.
    It's a doozy.

    Highschool of the Body Snatchers
    aka
    The School where Clichés Come to Die

    I mean,
    The Faculty


    Kinda good, actually.
    Well written characters (a captain of the football team who doesn't want to be a jock? What?!)
    Give it a try.
    Or not.

    Whatever you do, don't fall for this girl:

    Tomb Raider (2018)

    It works pretty good as an origin story.

    Bullet Train

    Entertaining but not memorable.
    Good to see Brad Pitt playing such a positive guy.



    What a nice family portrait!

    Monster Hunter (2020)

    Only Milla Jovovich made it worthwhile to watch. The monsters looked good.

    It seems that the new Scooby-Doo adjacent show is the worst thing ever.

    No, but it has 7% vote at rotten tomatoes and literally all the reviews on youtube laugh at it. Even Pitch Meeting (which always mocks stuff anyway) was unusually brutal ^^

    9 April

    Danish Army shows how to do a Fighting Retreat all the way to the end.
    Perfectly realistic.

    Seriously, what is up with these helmets, son?

    I guess no one is watching the Last of Us?
    Reasonable. It collapsed even faster than Walking Dead.

    Saw Knock at the Cabin.
    While I didn't like the end, it has some good moments imo up to that, and Bautista certainly can act...

    It's Batista, dammit

    And yes he can act, I also watched the movie and it's a 9 for me for his acting.

    I don't get it :/ It is Bautista. Iirc he is part Greek too. But yes, he CAN act and I hope he continues to do awesomely ^^

    edit: I now read he was using "Batista" as a wrestler, but his surname is Bautista.

    Last of Us ep5 was (like ep2,3,4) crap.
    Using very extensive fast forward, but I will likely not watch more eps of this.

    Agree 100%.


    Infinity Pool


    Not really what I expected.
    Weird concept but cool visuals.
    Also Mia Goth = FIRE.
