I enjoyed Leave The World Behind. Fun little drama with plenty of intrigue and mystery that leaves you guessing.
Admittedly, I never saw the trailer - so maybe it sold itself as an action film.
I’m with you - scripting was a bit average, and Rent Boy has turned a little sappy, but overall I liked it, something different , and a great ending

Neat little bow on the Friends angle, left a bit to the imagination which annoyed the missus, outlier possibility left open for a sequel (hope not) - what’s not to like?

As vague a critique as I’d expect from a policy chick

Look I don’t know what sort of policies you’re into but there have been two very in depth reviews stating why this movie was shite. It’s pretty much official

Astonishingly colossal use of the word bit.

By the cringe but Amazon and Netflix have a wide range of quality in their offerings. Some great stuff, some diabolical stuff and then some absolutely must watch stuff.
The Gardener on Prime is in the latter category. Basic story of a well to do but dysfunctional family under threat when armed burglars pay them a visit. Up steps the Serbian gardener who happens to be a war veteran to save the day. The Serb looks like a knock off Charles Bronson which some might consider a red flag.
However the level of writing, acting, dialogue, plot and action sequences are what stand out. Without exception they are absolutely awful - think Dolemite level awful but without the humour. This film is so bad that it simply must not be missed. This is one you can tell your Grandchildren about.
Watch it now, before it gets shitcanned.

There are two levels of self-own there.
An admission that you’ve seen it AND an admission that you’ve seen worse.
I admire your fortitude.

The Creator
Dystopian future, the rise of AI, terminator type of movie but told through a completely different lens. Part of the world embraces AI and part wants it gone and the battle to save or kill it ensues.
One of the best sci fi movies of last year in my mind. Great graphics, some weapons that look like they could have been off a Star Wars set and an all action chase.Anyway thoroughly enjoyed it
4 simulants out of 5 robot bombs -

So have any of you Snyder fans actually watched
Star WarsFireflySeven Samurai/The Magnificent SevenRebel Moon yet?It's definitely not as good as I was hoping but decent enough. At least those bad South Africans were killed.
The R rated version might be more interesting.
I made the mistake of watching a Snyder cut once, never again.
Speaking of Snyder ...
Aquaman: The DCEU went out with a whimper, hopefully the DCU under Gunn will be better.
Very average movie, would have been worse if not for Momoa and Patrick Wilson.
Kidman looks like she was CGI. Still funny that Aquaman is half Aussie and half Kiwi.
Best thing about it, less than two hours long.
I watched Rebel Moon.
Not recommending.
Most interesting thing was probably how bad 3 of the supporting actors were (but Charlie seemed to have fun).
It was like a poor man's Luc Besson movie with a Virtual Production/Unreal Engine backdrop but none of the crazy but cool French crap, and the director had forgotten to direct the actors.
Even the Hopkins narration was a phone-in job.
Good gymnastics, mind.
