To save polluting the TV thread, I thought I'd start a thread for the films we've seen this year.
I saw A Real Pain the other day and it's a really nicely put together piece by Jesse Eisenberg. It unpeels like an onion, with each layer getting closer to the central pint. Good film.
Babygirl could have been so much better. Nicole Kidman does well but it all feels a bit 'off'.
Rewatched Anatomy of a Fall the other day - brilliant. |  |

Recently watched Sinners and 28 years Later. Both with a bizarre role for Jack O'Donnell.
Sinners was an odd vampire film. A musical, action, period, horror, gangster film. A kinda mash up of Dusk till Dawn, 30 days days of night (nowhere near as good as both) and Crossroads (not that one) . Literal all singing and dancing vampires in Southern Texas cotton picking fields. The story about Sammy " Preacher boy" Moore and his journey to becoming a Blues guitarist legend doesn't really feel is being told and its more about the Smoke and Stack gangsta twins, but it all gets derailed by the blood Suckers anyway!. Half decent B Movie fodder. 3 stars.
28 Years Later, had a more serious tone, genuinely creepy, Wicker man vibes, although the zombie with a 9" penis was hilarious. A good third act to the ongoing 28 Days story. The ending was a bit jarring though and completely changed the tone and direction . Risky move by Danny Boyle but its an interesting one. 3.5 stars.
Also re watched the original Avatar's preparing for the third instalment. The first is a great film but i don't hold out much hope for part 3. Also watched part 2 and its pretty dire. [Post edited 3 Jan 18:55]

Sinners was good but it was too long. Needed a better mix of build up and vampire craziness.
I rewatched Pulp Fiction yesterday for the first time in too long. It's still great. I gave it 5/5 on Letterboxd. It feels different to modern films. Like more solid, more real. It's so brilliant and nearly all the performances in it are spot on. |  |
| Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. |

On the re watching old classics theme, i re watched The Terminator for the first time in years last night.
It still holds up, a really good film, simple premise and just gets on with it. T2 tonight i think.
One Battle After Another is probably the best film of 2025 for me. Watched it over the weekend and really enjoyed it. A future classic possibly. Almost like a Coens film in terms of the quirky comedy but grittier, more wallop. Sean Penn was great in this, not quite Don Logan, but not far. Leonardo de Caprio is top drawer too. I could easily watch this again. 4.5 stars. | |

Terminator is a top 5 film for me.
T2 is very good but wouldn't make my top 15. | |

Watched The Tank on Prime Video over night. A German war movie about a Tiger crew, not too disimilar to Fury, but a fraction of the budget. Not bad and has a bit of a twist. |  | | |
