If it’s bad because it’s woke you’re rating it with a completely uneccesary bias.

Get these women and Charlize Theron’s character in Atomic Blonde, to watch us play a Marvel Stadium Sunday 4.40pm game against a bottom four interstate team, then let them tear up all in their path as they experience the pain and rage.

That actors portrayal of Ric Flair might be the worst bit of acting I have ever seen

The majority of them( haven’t seen all those films) the women were strong through their characters journey
Rebooting a male centred franchise with women just because, normally ends in failure.
I really enjoyed Rey being the focal point of the latest Star Wars trilogy because it was a change and made sense from a storyline sense
Much like how the oceans 11 women’s movie will fail, and the female pirates of the Caribbean movie will fail- if it ever actually goes ahead. And sometimes the directors or cast members comments kill a movie before it has even come out
See the latest Charlie’s angels ( the director actually said this movie isn’t for men)or the soon to be released Snow White and the 7 dwarves

Saltburn is…decent.
I can see why it appeals to the younger generation.
It’s got some attention because of a few scenes of sexual…I guess depravity. Perhaps I’m harder to shock than most, but I wasn’t shocked. To be honest, I cringed waaaay harder over a dramatic moment than any of the sex stuff.
I won’t mention one book and another film that it has very strong parallels with, because to even hint at it would ruin the plot. There are very, very strong similarities, though.
To draw another comparison (purely in regard to…updating), it’s very much this generation’s Cruel Intentions/Dangerous Liaisons.
It’s longish, but I feel like the last half hour could still have done with another ten minutes. Seems just a little rushed at the end.
I have other technical criticisms, some plot points seem a little messy, but they feel a little churlish to point out.
The most fascinating characters, for mine, are the parents. But that might also be because…you know…this movie wasn’t meant for me.
Decent.
Not great.
Derivative and faux shocking.
The song at the end in the final scene is cute in a wry sort of way.
It’s on Amazon Prime, I think…

I watched the first 15min and realized why it was called Saltburn.
This.
It’s like those shocked by it had never seen a truly shocking movie before. Perhaps because I’d watched Killing of a Sacred Deer the night before, I just wasn’t in a shockable mood.
But Saltburn was pretty benign and predictable and trying way too hard.
I do rate Barry Keoghan highly though.

Mrs S and I saw Anatomy of a Fall this arvo. It won the Palme d’Or at Cannes and it deserved it.
It’s long, 2h 30m, and probably it could have been 20 minutes shorter, but it never dragged. It’s a courtroom drama. A husband and wife and son, who’s more or less blind, living alone in an isolated chalet somewhere in some mountains in France. The husband is found dead in the snow with a wound to his head caused by a blow. Did he fall and hit his head, or was he pushed by his wife?
I can’t believe that the courtroom scenes were realistic, although I know nothing about French criminal procedure; the questions were more like addresses to the jury than actual questions. But the presentation of the evidence and the gradual revelation of the nature of the relationship between husband, wife and child was superbly done.
If you like action movies, don’t bother. If you like intelligent movies, watch it.

Because it’s often used sarcastically by many simpletons to describe progressive ideas that they don’t agree with.

Hell or high water
2016 - Jeff Bridges
2 brothers start robbing banks in small town USA when they can’t pay the mortgage.
It’s pretty decent. Never really hits massive highs, or lows. But keeps you hanging on. A little like No Country For Old Men, without the psycho.
