It's Saturday what have you watched this week?

Sonic 3! Fantastic film though most of that was definitely fangirly enthusiasm for references to the games

Forgotten (2017)
Barbarian (2022)
Monkey Man (2024)
All pretty good movies. It's been a good week.
Also many watches of Kung Fu Panda and Zootopia..... But that's what happens with kids in the house. Those are good movies too.

Film
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) - An early Scorsese very much of its time. Ellen Burstyn's performance holds up well, but it is difficult to find much else of enduring value in this one today - other than a portrait of the times.
Moana 2 (2024) - Entertaining and wholesome enough, but adding nothing new.
Minikillers (1969) - a short film without dialogue starring Diana Rigg immediately following her role in The Avengers tv show, and playing on her Mrs. Peel character: pitting her against a criminal gang that uses killer dolls. Rigg shines, and there are a couple of Avengers-like moments, but this is largely a curiosity for fans.
TV
Miles From Nowhere - kiwi Moslem comedy not a million miles from We Are Lady Parts.
Whiskey on the Rocks - Swedish satire based on an incident with a soviet submarine in the '80s. The first episode was great, but not sure whether it will hold up.
Thou Shalt Not Steal - excellent aussie comedy that improves with each episode.
Obituary - Irish dramady with a cold-case mystery underneath, Siobhán Cullen puts in a fine performance.

Finally caught up with 'Grace' (ITVX - Police procedural starring John Simm).
Also watched Patience on Netflix. Both shows were excellent.

I tried to (re)watch Lucky Number Slevin, but I just couldn't finish it.
I first watched it when it came out, and I remember liking it, but I didn't remember much of the actual movie. So I decided to rewatch it recently and... I absolutely hate it. I figured I may have found some of the dialog funny before, but now it's just tiresome.
I like convoluted plots, but here I get the sense that it's convoluted just for the sake of being convoluted. On top of that the writing seems to have been done by a 17 year old who thinks he's the smartest person in the world coming up with the dialog, but in the end you have a movie that simply tries too damn hard to seem smart.
I found myself rolling my eyes so much that I gave up halfway through.

Just watched episode one of season 3 of Invincible. It was fantastic, but somehow the artwork seems to have gotten worse, which is saying something.
