    So, watched Tenant…now in this strange situation where I couldn’t really explain the plot very well…but also really enjoyed the acting, the main Dude was good so was rob Pattinson, makes me look forward to the Batman

    I don't even think Nolan can. Now that it's on whichever streamer it's on I'm looking forward to seeing it again to "look" for stuff.

    @kruse you chose to watch a movie where the title actor is Bros. Oh man.

    Is that who he is?
    Well - he's added another string to his bow of shitty things he's provided to the world.

    He owes you nothing.

    Astounding plot twist: there is a ham actor in a Nick Cage movie.

    I saw three movies at the cinema last year. Tenet was comfortably third best.

    The Wrestler

    Brilliantly made low budget film about a topic I’m quite into at the moment having watched a few episodes of Dark side of the Ring. Pretty sad, tragic and emotional ( I bet so many WWE stars end up like this ) and without a doubt the best performance I’ve ever seen from Mickey Rourke. Special mention also has to go to Marisa Tomei and her nipple rings who was even more convincing as a stripper than he was as a wrestler.

    4 Body slams out of 5 headbutts off the top rope.

    I must have missed it when it came out but it was a good find on a cold, rainy afternoon.

    just read a breakdown of Tenant...and its a pretty good story once you know whats going on....but Nolan obviously things most the of the audience is a hell of a lot smarter/more observant than i was

    there was one very good critique, quite a bit of the exposition happen on the boat and the engine noise makes to too hard to hear (on my tv anyway)

    1917 and Waves

    I haven't seen Waves. Worth a watch?

    I thought 1917 was overrated due to the technical aspect, but still a good film. I don't think either of them dented my top 10 for the year, but I could be 100% wrong. I may have rated them both higher at the time.

    It’s unusual but quite a rewarding flick overall so yeah. The other half chose it and we were very short on options post COVID. Speaking of which Dune and the new Bond flick are delayed again which pisses me off to no end.

    Even someone like me as a massive fan feels a bit the same to be honest. Perhaps after 59 years the plug needs to be pulled but I’ll wait and see.

    Dune looks potentially incredible, haven’t been this excited about a movie in years.

    Casino Royale was genuinely good, then they've all been shit to me, even the other one people rate, and it's not like Mendes isn't a good director ... but they seem poorly scripted. I had to leave one of them with half an hour to go to catch a ferry and still have no idea how it ends and probably never will.

    Dune is either going to be awesome or terrible, I don't think there's an inbetween, but even if it's terrible because it's Villnueve it will he hailed a masterpiece anyway.

    I liked Blade Runner II too, better than the original for me.
