Went to the cinema last week to see this with y daughter. Actually enjoyed far more than I was expecting after the last one.
We're going to see the new I Know What You Did Last Summer film tomorrow. I'm not holding out great hopes.
Also, the Omniplex in Sunderland is like a different cinema now. They're doing a great job with the refurb.

A remake of my favourite Kurosawa film, which I'd normally be apprehensive about but In Spike I Trust.

I Care A Lot (2020)
Darkest of the dark barely-comedies about a conwoman pulling a scam on OAPs, who one day picks the wrong mark.
For two thirds of the movie it's very promising and highly engaging. In the end unfortunately it only semi-delivers the result we're hoping for as an audience, in a fairly disappointing 15 minute lead-up to an almost-but-not-really-overly-satisfying ending.
A real shame, as it really felt like it was leading up to something until then.
7/10

Before Sunrise - this is a film I love but had only watched once before around 15 years ago. It's still brilliant. 10/10
There Will Be Blood - another film I love, hadn't rewatched it for a long time. What stunned me the most was it came out 18 years ago. That was like me watching a film from 1989 when this came out in 2007
Daniel Day Lewis is incredible in this. 9.5/10

Cat and Mouse (1958)
Ann Sears turns up at some old dwab’s house. He starts to blackmail her, saying that she knows the whereabouts of a load of diamonds that her dead old man stole years ago, and went to prison for. Her mother has also passed, ergo, she must know where they are. She pushes him in a struggle and he twats his head. Enter Lee Patterson, also summoned by old dwab for blackmailing purposes. He realises that Sears and himself could be quids in, as long as they work together to dispose of the body, and split the diamonds. She doesn’t trust him at all and insists that she doesn’t have a clue.
Intriguing crime thriller where there are two games of cat and mouse - the police and the main stars; and between the main stars themselves. There’s some really neat sequences involving track covering, deduction and character dynamics. Another very watchable B featuring Patterson. That’s five decent films in a row I’ve watched with him as the main star recently.

De Niro on top form
Pacino way to hammy
Kilmer Cool
Voight ooozing class
Sizemore no anal action
Stops being a 10 as for me it’s just too long, 30/40 minutes of a tad too much family/relationship/lovers side stories
Obviously some brillaint scenes, m16’s going apeshit scene is a beauty

I do, I'm thinking of rescuing all the scenery he's eaten.
5.5/10 for me28 Years Later.
Been looking forward to this.
Heard 1st half better than second and that is certainly true.
Some pretty big plot holes etc.
Wtf was the last scene?
Enjoyed it anyway 7.2/10
Too many giant zombies with big floppy donkey dicks. He could've used it as a weapon to kill people if he got a semi on.
The Jimmy Saville ninjas were really stupid.

Eddie Murphy claiming he's the next Inspector Clouseau, possibly portraying him as Haitian.

The physical projector film cost money. They were probably sending us the same actual copies of the movies that had done the rounds in US cinemas first rather than printing enough of them for the whole world to watch at once.
It's all digital now so there's no additional expense in it playing everywhere at once.

I didn't even think of Saville til I read it on here so it made even less sense to me.

Piccadilly Third Stop (1960)
Terence Morgan is a sleazy crook, who woos the daughter of a diplomat into assisting him in the theft of the contents of the embassy’s fault. He plans to run away with Mai Zetterlong, wife of loudmouth John Crawford, who agrees to join the team due to his crippling gambling debts. Rounding off things, William Hartnell agreed to crack the safe.
A mixed bag, but largely enjoyable thanks to some neat direction and an engrossing final third, where they use the underground to access the embassy. Some of the stuff early on feels a bit fluffy and padded out, but all the asides are necessary to create the final set up. Hartnell is the best here, but Crawford plays a gobshite with gusto, and Morgan is a good slimeball.
