It was absolutely beautiful, some of the rendering looks remarkably lifelife, for younger kids I'd give this an 8, running down to a 6 as they age, and for adults.

Captain America The Winter Soldier - 8.5/10. One of my favourites.

Winter Soldier is fantastic, still my favourite Marvel film.

The Exorcist 1973
Surprisingly for someone as old as me, I've never seen this film. For the most.part it's aged very well and I enjoyed it. Ended up watching the extended cut, which is probably a little bit too long and I'm guessing the theatrical cut would've been a better option.
Difficult to give a fair score for based in how old it is. I can imagine this being shocking back in the 70's.
7.5/10

I like the follow up black men can't swim

Coming 2 America - 7/10
I really enjoyed this. Quite simple and maybe a little formulaic but I just really enjoyed it. Loved the soundtrack too, listening to it now on YTMusic even...

Raya and the last dragon 6-7/10. However, visually, especially the water was amazing. Best animation I’ve ever seen.
Have had a bit of a Keane Reeves-fest!
The Devil’s Advocate
This is not a perfect film but goodness, isn’t it watchable?! I feel that every time I watch it I enjoy it just as much as the first time. Al Pacino is absolutely excellent and that whole ending bit is fantastic. You do also feel the temptation yourself...!
Not sure if any of the tweaks I would make would actually make it any better. Save that I sort of think it would be more effective if it was called something else and was more subtle with its title credit etc - as it would otherwise would be another law film until that startling scary face jumpscare.
Really good.
10/10
Point Break
Also surprisingly good! Aside from making little sense, that is. A really goofy concept and buddy cop due but the violence and fighting is quite brutal and vicious... you feel every bump and bruise during that chase through the houses. Keanu is amusingly wooden in places and it’s perhaps one of his worst in that regard but really that’s nit-picking. A really good fun film and despite its silliness it feels grittier than a lot of other films that have similar themes.

I’ve never liked him as an actor tbh. I think it stems from his shambolic performance in Dracula. A fantastic film spoiled by his awful acting and an English accent that was even worse than Dick Van Dyke’s in Mary Poppins. Although tbf, he was never going to steal the show opposite a proper actor like Gary Oldman.
Just seems so forced and wooden to me.

The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil 9/10.
Excellent movie, really enjoyed it. Korean serial killer thriller. Violence to the extreme. On iPlayer.

Absolutely, loved it. Pretty much from start to finish, the boat op intro, Fury in the car chase. All the rest of it, Awesome!
The Witch: Part 1 - The Subversion. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8574252/
Plenty of action and an interesting story. Looking forward to the next one.

Watched this Friday night. Really enjoyed it. Some great jump scenes that really got me.
Where she walks into the kids bedroom early on
They didn't do a long drawn out build up just bam.
As you say, the first half is probably better than the ending, but still pretty good.
Watched two movies last night.
Coming to America 8/10 - Been ages since I watched this, but I had to watch it before I watched the sequel. Brilliant movie, I had forgotten how good it was. Lots of laugh out loud moments. IT was such a different world back in the 80's. Anyway, the two hours just flew by. It's must watch if you intend to watch the second one.
Coming to America 2 - I haven't rated this. I tried, but, I couldn't. As a movie it's not very good, not very good at all. There are a few funny moments. But, the nostalgia levels are through the roof and there is a whole feel good vibe running through the whole movie. Wesley Snipes was fantastic, he looked like he was having a ball. And it was great the way they managed to get most of the old cast into this movie, considering the original was out in 1988!!
I can understand why this isn't getting a very good rating on IMDB and the like. IF you didn't like the first movie or if you didn't even see the first movie, this won't do anything for you. I can also see why people would give it a good rating.

One I might rewatch that I haven't seen in quite a long time is The Fugitive. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106977/
Popped into my brain cell earlier.

Remember 2015

Christopher Plummer is great in this, as are the other actors.
