    Watched Dune in the Cinema, that was a blast. Visually overwhelming, massive Sound and the effects were on top.
    Acting was good, who doesn`t like Rebeccca Ferguson? :-)

    I really have no words to describe how this movie is

    Cosmic Sin



    To say that it is just a big plot hole, would be reductive. It's just like when you are 12 and you try to write your first novel: you want to make it so great, that it ends up in a complete non-sense.. here is even worse, they didn't even try to explain the background, it looks like they intentionally removed any reference to it. It's not even a great action movie, really I dunno why they did not just threw it away.

    It's a pity though, I like very much Frank Grillo (Boss Level was an enjoyable movie); Willis is too old for those movies, credibility still has a value I guess.

    Boss Level



    Nice movie, with some sadness in it even if it's of course a pure action movie. As I said above I love Frank Grillo, and his fisico and bad-ass face are perfect for the role. Plot is nothing out of this world, but the irony on how it develops makes it enjoyable. I believe Gibson has a rare talent for playing villains (I appreciated him in Expendables 3, for instance), if he will find the right villain role in the right movie, he can make something exceptional out of it.

    The Many Saints of Newark

    This movie explains why Tony Soprano didn't have the makings of a varsity athlete.




    A Bronx Tale

    Classic.
    No other words needed.
    Glad I got the chance to see it now, as I'm older and wiser (I hope).

    A Bronx Tale.

    Bolts door.
    - 'Now you's can't leave.'

    Rarely gets mentioned in the pantheon of gangster movies but really should be. So many classic scenes, great soundtrack, great acting, great dialogue.

    Copshop (2021)

    I expected something good but not a 10/10 session in the cinema. Amazing job!

    @Flinn

    The night house: a good actress in a bad movie. Halloween must be around the corner.

    Midnight Mass.



    Limited 7 part series. Reworking of another Stephen King classic, in fact my favourite of his. Not much else can be said without spoiling it. Acting great, dialogue really good. Yeh you'll spot people are wearing aged make up, it's part of the plot, stick with it.

    Good show binged it and enjoyed it. Was slow in the early episodes which is why I felt they stretched it a bit but overall binge worthy.

    Rosemary's Baby

    Roman Polanski's a very talented degenerate.
    I can see why he's a member of the French Academy.
    This is a good movie.
    Liked the ending.

    Doctor Sleep


    Terrific.
    Layer upon layer of the same old thing, driven to perfection
    Makes you laugh at what was once terrifying

    Old Henry.



    If you love a western this won't disappoint. Story moves pretty quick which is unusual for modern westerns, there's no long shots of the sky or ponderous dialogue. Henry, of the title, is not all he seems.

    Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)


    I think it was good. I don't get why so many people don't like it. I haven't seen episodes I-V, though.

    I had goosebumps when the guy finally caught on. Even though, if you know the history, the 'twist' is revealed almost at the start.

    Classic, still to this day.

    Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

    It felt a bit less emotional but a bit more thrilling than the first movie and with a bit better action sequences.

    Every movie with Tom Hardy is a must see for me (every action movie ATL )

    Also, it's Andy Serkis, who doesn't love the dude?

    Godzilla vs. Kong

    'Zilla is the best fighter, IMO.
    While the makers of this film would have you believe that Kong can get up every time and still be on-top, the reality is that all Zilla has to do is incinerate him with her dragon-breath.
    But no, we gotta please the Monkee fans!

    Godzilla wins.
    End of story.
