Watched "Bull" the other night. Great plot, fantastic acting and surprise ending. I do like a revenge movie.

I watched that last night and very much enjoyed it. I shall look out for more like this. Had a touch of the Dead Man's Shoes about it.

Oppenheimer- honestly it was a bit too talky and not all that thrilling. 6/10

Finally started the final season of Succession. First 45 mins gave me a headache and now the one of the dogs ate the remote so going to have to wait for a replacement to get delivered before we can watch ep2.

Wolf on iplayer. Dodgy acting but thrilling edge of your seat stuff. One of the best things I’ve seen this year

I hardly ever watch films, but for some unknown reason, I watched this during the week. Very much enjoyed it.

Finally caught up with Bull. Decent enjoyable low-budget Brit thriller. What I imagine Dead Man's Shoes would have been like if it was written by Stephen King and directed by Guy Ritchie.

Got a new remote. Up to the big event at the end of Ep3.

Watching Wolf after seeing good reviews. It’s perhaps the most ridiculous, badly written show I’ve ever seen. But loving every minute of it.
The baddies might as well be the penguin from The Wrong Trousers it’s so cartoonish

That doesn't sound like a criticism.

It’s not - once you calibrate to the idea that some very good actors are doing some truly, truly bizarre performances, it’s immensely enjoyable.

Juliet Stevenson seems to think she’s in Irreversible, while Iwan Rheon is channeling Father Dougal

100%. We almost stopped after the first episode because the dialogue was so painful and Ukwei Roach is bad. But everything improves and it’s addictive

Finished Wolf. Genuinely crap, nothing in it makes sense, the actions of no characters stands up to any scrutiny whatsoever, the dialogue is awful, the performances worse; some performances made me actually cringe.

Ah, I've just watched the trailer and realised that I've already watched this, but had completely forgotten.

Indiana Jones and the Dodgy Ending- I really liked this until, well..

A good effort, much better than how I remember Crystal Skull, the action was relentless, Waller-Fleabag raised a few laughs and Mads Mikelsen as the baddie was a good choice.
The de-ageing tech is incredible. How long until they just deepfake a dead actor for an entire film?
