1. Teen Titans Go! To The Movies
Very silly but very smart. Worth it for the time travel bit. 
[8]

2. Bird Box
Averagely made sci fi lifted by the interesting concept. 
[5]

3. War of the Worlds
One I keep returning to. Exceptional setpieces that are still effective. 
[9]

4. The Favourite
An actual comedy at the cinema. Was funny, well acted and unnerving at times. Best of his for me. Yet to see Dogtooth 
[8]

Aquaman
Maybe one day DC will learn how to make a movie. A mess for so many reasons. 
[3] because people riding sharks.

Geostorm
Very low expectations and wasn't giving it my full attention. Was okay. No 2012 or Day After Tomorrow though. 
[4]

ROMA
Classically Cuarony shot film. Beautiful to look at and a well told little story. Felt very Gabriel Garcia Marquez. 
[9]

Ghost Stories
Black Mirror as a movie. Ham fisted horror moments. Somewhat interesting overall. 
[5]

Fyre
Solid doc about that festival that didn't happen. Helps the fuckwads filmed themselves fucking everything up. 
[8]

The Predator
A real fuckin mess. I wonder if these fuckwads documented themselves fucking this up. Nice violence though. 
[2]

Venom
Nothing special but not terrible. Pre-spiderman 2 style superhero deal. Hardy and Venom make a good pair. 
[5]

The Fountain
For the millionth time. Maybe didn't enjoy it as much as previous times but is still great. Beautiful movie. Blu ray transfer was garbage and grainy though 
[8]

Alita
Stunning visuals, iffy writing and acting. Average but fun at times. 
[5]

Nocturnal Animals
A type of movie that has been done better by better directors. Always seemed like it thought it was fancier than it actually was.
[4]

Fast and Furious 8
Proper guff. But fun guff. Always funny to think of the simplicity of the first movie when watching these.
[6]

Captain Marvel
Second tier Marvel that suffers from some clunky editing and not so great action direction. Still fun though and some funny moments with a good message.
[7]

Colossal
Should have been a good movie but wasn't. Obviously didn't know what it wanted to be about.
[2]

Destroyer
Okay little thriller. Not as good as the Invitation.
[6]

US
Neat idea. Average execution.
[5]

Ralph Wrecks The Internet
Way too much advertising but not too bad. Themes hit a bit too close to home.
[7]

Widows
Wonderfully directed and we'll acted. Very solid film.
[9]

Bad Times At The El Royale
Blandly directed Tarantino wannabe.
[4]

Crazy Rich Asians
Not the worst way to spend a couple of hours. Ending resolved a bit too quickly.
[6]

Mortal Engines
A bit of a mess. Probably 3 films forced into 1. Nice visuals in parts.
[3]

SHAZAM!
Didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Should have had more of the funny.
[6]

21 Jump St
Still one of my favourite recent comedies. Funny. Good chemistry with the leads.
[9]

A Simple Favour
Not a thriller. Kind of comedy. Not enough mystery. Kinda boring. Weird movie
[5]

Mary Poppins Returns
Mary Poppins is a bitch and lost her knack for song-writing. Almost turned it off.
[3]

Once
Charming little music based film. Really nice.
[8]

A Star is Born
Man makes a woman famous. Film doesn't earn the moments it wants. Held up by the leads.
[5]

Avengers Endgame
Very good end to this series of characters
[9]

Burning
Very good Korean drama. Nice long burn
[8]

Detective Pikachu
Loved it. A kids film with a lot of humour and heart
[8]

Under The Shadow
Iranian horror that was okay.
[6]

Paddington 2
Still amazing
[11]

How To Train Your Dragon 3
Not as good as 2. But still enjoyable
[6]

Possum
Weird and creepy little Norfolk horror. Highly recommend.
[8]

Dragged Across Concrete
Definitely his best film but still not sure his style is my thang
[6]

Resolution
Very good indie film made cleverly with a goo premise. Recommend especially if you like Primer
[8]

Godzilla 2
They really need to work on writing better stories. Luckily big things smash into big things
[6]

Avengers Endgame
Second time cos why not. Was good again and seemed to feel even shorter
[8]

Spring
Another film by the Resolution guys. Very well done on a small budget. Resolution a bit better
[7]

Arrival
Still stunningly well made, maybe not as effective the second time
[8]

Murder Mystery
Another dumb Sandler comedy. This time they pay themselves to go to the French Riviera. Actually made me laugh a couple of times though
[5]

Wild Rose
A cliched but well acted movie that I enjoyed because of the characters.
[7]

Parasite
Very solid Korean thriller, not sure what it's message was though
[8]

Spidey FFH
A pretty good sequel that can't quite handle it's globe trotting story
[7]

Toy Story 4
Wholly unnecessary but very solid and funny sequel
[7]

World War Z
Woeful direction in a weirdly bloodless and bland action zombie film
[4]

Suspiria
Very nicely shot and very creepy when it wants to be. Shits the bed a little.
[8]

Paterson
Beautiful little film. It's all the little touches and moments that make it. That and the dog. Should have won best actor that dog.
[10]

Snowtown
Grim, fairly well made. Very Australian. Not sure it has much of a point though.
[7]

Vivarium
Interesting concept but not much to carry it through a whole film
[5]

Come to Daddy
Fun horror comedy. Maybe more thriller comedy. Some top cringe moments
[8]

Beats
Fun little film about mates and raves. Weird that it lags when it gets to the rave.
[8]

The Beach Bum
I think I know what it was taking the piss out of but that didn't make it a fun film to watch.
[3]

The Day Shall Come
A bit of a let down after such a wait from Four Lions. Best watch some Iannucci instead or back to Four Lions.
[5]

The Dead Don't Die
A bit of fun from Jarmusch but also nothing of real note.
[6]

Hobbs and Shaw
You know what you're in for really. Made me wish for the days of Fast 5 though
[5]

Slow West
A beautiful little film. Each scene is like a vignette but it fits together
[9]

In Fabric
Such a unique vision. Not quite as brilliant as Berberian but still a joy to watch
[8]

The Royal Tenenbaums
Good movie to watch when sick and you need some comfort. Don't think it's my fave of his anymore though
[8]

Something Else
Not quite as successful low budget horror as The Battery but still has some quality writing.
[6]

I Lost My Body
Interesting, funny and somewhat touching animated film about a severed hand. Good soundtrack.
[7]

The Lodge
Entirely derivative and poorly executed. Thanks, I hate it
[1]

Midsommar
Stunning direction and cinematography. Didn't grab me as much as Hereditary though.
[7]

Lost Soul
Scrappy but interesting documentary about movie making. Some fun behind the scenes footage and stories.
[6]

Weathering With You
Not as good as Your Name, story was a bit clunkily told, but it is still fun
[6]

The House That Jack Built
I'd glad filmmakers like Lars are making stuff but sometimes they miss more than hit.
[4]

Bait
Worse than I thought it was going to be. You gotta know how you're going to visualise the shark. They did not know. Very ropey effects too
[3]

Glass
Not too bad. Obviously small budget. Shame the limited set restricted the direction, the start had much more mojo.
[5]

The Dark Crystal
Not sure why it took so long to watch this. Very creepy but also fairly clunky in its storytelling.
[5]

Interstellar
Nolan is a great director but a pretty average writer. Zimmer's best soundtrack?
[8]

IT Chapter 2
I wish the director had more creativity. Great acting and visuals but terrible music and too many similar jump scares.
[6]

Gravity 3D Imax
My third time seeing it and it kind of has diminishing returns but it's still a cool ride. That second meteor strike sequence is a heck of a thing
[7]

The Endless
Solid low budget sci fi that continues on from Resolution. Maybe not quite as tight as that one but still clever and well executed.
[7]

AD Astra
Philosophising space adventure. Maybe doesn't execute the character arc as well as it thinks but I really enjoyed the ride. Stunning at times too.
[9]

Shark Night
Better than Bait. That's not saying much though.
[4]

The Nightingale
A difficult film to watch but an important one.
[9]

Joker
Stunning visuals and another great physical performance by Phoenix. I need to ponder the why of the film though.
[7]

El Camino.
Was fun to be back in that world even just for an extended episode.
[8]

Australian Dream
A good companion to Nightingale. Something all Australians should probably watch. Gives a lot of context to what is going on racially in this country.
[8]

Gemini Man
Interesting tech (120fps 3D) with some cool action but terrible writing. It's a shame because it would be interesting to see if the tech could be used for something useful.
[2]

Playing Hard
An interesting toe dip into what it takes to make a big budget videogame.
[6]

Apostle
A bit shit. Disappointing.
[3]

Between Two Ferns The Movie
Like most US comedies it has too much improv. The interviews are still good.
[5]

Lords of Chaos
Very good film about Norwegian Black Metal. Quite bloody but also quite funny at times.
[8]

Ready or Not
A fun concept made a bit average by the execution. Needed more directorial style.
[6]

Missing Link
Disappointingly average story with fun acting and incredible animation. I hope Laika keep making things but I also hope it's better than this
[6]

47 Metres Down Uncaged
What you expect really. Some surprisingly good moments but mostly undermined by completely CG shark. Ya gotta have a real puppet shark in there to sell those moments. These new directors never learn.
[5]

Dr Sleep
Not really a sequel to the Shining in terms of movie style but I loved what this did. It's classic King stuff with some stunning Flanagan filmmaking. Attention did wane at times though.
[8]

Dolemite Is My Name
Fun little biopic-ish movie about Blaxploitation film maker Rudy Ray Moore. Good to see Murphy back on screen plus lots of other fun cameos.
[7]

CLIMAX
Not as Gasper Noe-y as you might think. Lots of style but not as gripping or affecting as his other stuff. Nobody does credits like him though.
[6]

8th Grade
Very well realised and rather awkward film about being a teen.
[8]

Don't Look Now
I've heard it mentioned a lot in film discussion as a classic. It's a bit of its time, sometimes too much, but it is interesting. Will do some reading.
[5]

Reel Rock 14
Climbing short film collection. Was good fun with some beautiful scenery. Makes you want to get outdoors.
[9]

Little Monsters
Horror comedy is hard. This is a fun film with some zombies but it ain't no horror
[6]

Blockers
Pretty funny at times but also quite clunky at others in a way that suggests cobbling together of improv takes. Enjoyable no brainer stuff.
[6]

Terminator: Dark Fate
Good enough story but action is unexciting and the film is also clunky with unnecessary flashbacks and too much CGI. Linda Hamilton is phenomenal though.
[6]

Ford V Ferrari
A solid film of likes of Moneyball but not quite as good. Car scenes are fantastic though
[7]

Happy Death Day 2U
A fun story for a sequel that is hampered by bland and cliche scare sequences.
[6]

Knives Out
Enjoyable murder mystery but not quite as much as it thinks it is.
[7]


The Blob (80s version)
Can't believe I hadn't seen this till now. Amazing practical effects with dodgy green screen. Teen me would have loved it.
An 80s [9]

Frozen 2
Somewhat lackluster offering from Disney with some questionable politics in the story and lazy storytelling. Good songs and animation though.
[5]

Hostel Part 2
I couldn't remember if this was good. It's okay. Broadening the scope diluted what made the first so nasty and effective.
[5]

The Irishman
Too long and iffy CG faces on old old men. A classic Scorcese style film that's been done better by him before. Pesci is great.
[6]

Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker
A very rushed telling of a story. 2 films in one I think. Undoes too much of TLJ. Stunning production value though and excellent actings from the leads. It's Star Wars
[7]

Marriage Story
A touching and funny and very well acted film about a couple. Perhaps a touch long.
[8]

6 Underground
Literally the worst movie I've seen. Incomprehensible. Mean spirited. An expensive looking complete mess.
[0]

The Hallow
A mostly well executed, low budget monster film. Cool monsters. A little clunky and amateur at times.
[6]

Lego Movie 2
Even though it's written by Lord and Miller it doesn't have their spark. Too many jokes were clunkers. That animation though!
[5]

Klaus
A very nice, if a bit predictable, Christmas story. Stunning 2D animation and a good heart. I liked the chickens.
[7]

High Life
Very French space movie that isn't so concerned about the space bit. Interesting but maybe a bit too tired for it to grab me. I liked the lo-fi sci-fi aesthetic.
[5]

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
Maybe not as fun the first time I saw it when it surprised me in how good it was. Still enjoyable though. Looking forward to the new one.
[7]

Thunder Road
A very good written by, directed by, edited by, main actored by one guy movie. Hits a lot of good notes.
[8]

Hellboy (the new one)
Average movies are interesting. This one seems to have had a trouble production. A lot of producers. Ill placed pop songs are a good indication of differing opinions. The script is bland too. Nice practical effects, cruddy CGI. Not the worst thing ever. Just not worth spending your time on.
[4]

The Voices
Rather good and rather dark comedy with Ryan Reynolds made before every Ryan Reynolds movie had him playing Deadpool.
[8]

Booksmart
Very funny coming of age film that was a bit more stock standard in its story beats than I thought it would be. That deficit made up for by the chemistry of the leads.
[8]

Dante's Peak
Not a bad way to end 2019 movie watching. Still a classic. Like Twister it has enjoyable characters and a well set up premise with great special effects. Awesome miniature work in this.
[8]

I'd give it a 9. Thought it was really well done. Must watch it again, think it's on Netflix now.

Yeah its on Netflix.
I think it relied a bit too much on some tropes from the first. Some done well, like when Renton recreates the car, smile, run iconic shot.
Others like the Choose Life tyrade are a bit cringe.
The end felt a bit too much like an action or slasher movie as well.

The characters are great although Spud becomes a Spud caricature towards the end.

I could see how others would go for a 9, can also see others going lower than a 7. 
The first is a solid 10 and will be getting a rewatch soon.

Ant Man and The Wasp
Playful use of powers in CG. Evangeline Lilly. Evangeline Lilly. Evangeline Lilly.
[8]

Yeah I enjoyed that one. Better than the trailer anyway.

Oh i loved Ghost stories.
Absolutely excellent right up until the end when it took a bit of a nose dive for me

Venom
Boilerplate action template + Tom Hardy + ok but weirdly toned jokes = watchable bullshit

Loophole
Without doubt the worst film I've ever seen. I've seen some shite [2]

it gets a two for being in focus and having the sound and pictures in sync

Today I watched Escape Plan. I'm not sure why I watched Escape Plan.  Don't bother watching Escape Plan.

Wall Street
It's got a 2 inch screen. We're entering a new world Bud.
[9]

Austin Powers 2 - 2 1/2 stars
Terminator 2 3 1/2 stars

2. In order of Disappearance - Black comedy, very much enjoyed, great movie, would certainly recommend. Foreign, unfortunately. 7/10

The Favourite: Darkly funny and slightly unsettling historical oddity, skewering the grotesque machinations of the upper classes in 18th Century England. 8/10

Shin Godzilla: Godzilla is a big nuclear lizard and an even bigger political allegory for post-Fukushima Japan, but dodgy VFX and the fact that most of the action takes place in identical boardrooms leave him looking disappointingly bloated. 5/10

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

The Dirty Dozen, but with lasers and sarcastic robots. Mads Mikkelsen's wasted.

7/10

I’ve only been updating my OP with what i’ve watched.
