Nocebo
The Pope's Exorcist
Cocaine Bear
Confidential Informant
Something in the Woods

I've only seen 2 modern films this year. Where normally I'm stuck in the 90s.

Best:

The Elvis film was good. A lot of hip thrusting was going on! At least I think it was Elvis that I was watching. Great soundtrack! So all in all, I'd give this film a mildly solid 8/10.

Worst:

The other film I saw was Indiana Jones. Started off great! Where they digitised Harrison for about 15 minutes and they made it seem like you were watching the old Indiana again. Then after the 15 minutes was up, you actually got to watch the old Indiana. So all in all, I'd give this film a runny solid 4/10.

Barbie was terrible didn't even bother to watch it to the end.

[NeverWas]

Alright

Smile
Evil Dead Rise
Scrapper

Total rubbish

Beau is Afraid
Scream VI

Films have been very underwhelming of late. I don't know if it's just because I'm sick and tired. They don't make good horror like they used to.

[Mike.Kzov]

Really good:

Oppenheimer
Talk to Me
Napoleon
Megan

Pretty crap:

Scream VI
Any Marvel/DC film

@Merry - aw it's good to find films to share. I wonder when the final part of the trilogy is released. It was originally March 2024, but the writers' strike pushed it back and Sony haven't look updated the release date. Definitely going to watch it at the cinema, even if I have to go alone!

Wow - I didn't even realise that there were more than two Scream films!

[Appear]

These two could be in the worst of '20s so far:

Avatar the Way of the Whatever
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Who Gives a Shit

[sophie79]

My favourite watch at the cinema this year was Mario. Worst was Indiana Jones.

[biscuits]

Can't believe I forgot to add Marcel the Shell With Shoes On to the list of bests!!

[Sea]

Best:
Prolly Indiana Jones (not that it was great or anything)

Worst:
Barbie
Meg 2: The Trench

Alright:
Oppenheimer

Can't remember seeing any other new films this year.
