I went to see an AI doc at the cinema last night that Focus are distributing. Both scary and comforting at the same time… In fact maybe more scary but an interesting watch.

I read the book and I loved it, without revealing any spoilers, why didn’t you like it? Might go and see this weekend

Just felt it was pitched real dumb or at kids level. It felt like every space film you’ve seen in the past 20 years.
I know ‘suspend disbelief’ and everything but it was wholly unsatisfactory for me. Surely there’s room for an entertaining space film that doesn’t treat its audience like total idiots? 
P.S. I didn’t like The Martian so I’m not even sure why we went to see it. I was swayed by a Kermode review where there was a lot of reference to Silent Running. Erm, just no…

Thank you, just checked some reviews on IMDB and almost everyone who’s read the book confirms it to be a bad adaptation, so I’ll be patient and wait until it seeds my way in any kind of form

That’s a shame. I have no skin in the book game but it’s always disappointing when the film gets the book wrong…

I liked Project Hail Mary. Although I dont think I really had the emotional connection that I was supposed to have to the central relationship, which is the crux of the film
Some nice cardigans and hats though

I thought it was cute, and I liked it. Was I emotionally devastated / wrung out? Not in the slightest.
I enjoyed it. Sparked lots of discussions!

Just watched The Drama. Meh… good idea but execution is disastrous. Woody Allen would make good film based on this plot.
From last two weeks I can recommend trilogy Sex Dreams Love, especially Sex and Love.

Finally watched Tampopo. What a gem of a film 
Argentinian film Delinquents is a bliss also.
Watched also Project Hail Mary, it’s ok for kids.

I liked The Drama. I thought its editing style was great. Also genuinely laugh out loud funny, not easy to pull off given the seriousness of the ‘admission’. Dont think I’ve squirmed as much in the cinema for years.
Not convinced by the final scene but one to ponder on

First date with my wife was a Tampopo screening. Whenever I’m sick and making food she brings up the housewife vignette. Top film.

Sorry, Baby (2025)

Haven’t read anything about this film before watching and I was pretty surprised what a wonderful film it is since I haven’t any expectations.
So well written, pace and rhythm, diallogues, characters, emotion and humour in strange moments. Amazing!

Went to see Rose of Nevada last night, which was followed by a Q&A with Mark Jenkin, hosted by Stewart Lee.
I loved Bait but wasn’t really into Enys Man. This sits perfectly in between the two imo. It was great, the cinematography is incredible - loads of high contrast / almost trippy colour and the grain from the film - and overdubbed of course.

Mad that this actually works… I watched Radio On that I was recommended. Pretty dark but very stylish UK film I’m sure many of you know…

INSANE! Surely this won’t work for long… haha
It works but I think it’s basically just redirecting you all sorts of dodgy streams? I tried a couple and was hit with ads and pop ups. Good trick though

Just saw The North at the cinema. Brilliant film about two friends walking the Cape Wrath trail. Highly recommended.
