The third

Yeah I loved the first film. Isla Fisher in her prime really helps.

I liked both NYSM movies, and Lizzie Caplan is an upgrade on Isla Fisher, at least for comic timing.
But I hated the simple hypnosis thing, the evil twin cobblers, and using CGI when "magic" could never have worked. For lite-brain thrills they are pretty satisfying to me. I particularly enjoy the wee clues to make later payoffs more engaging.

Fisher is back for the latest one so we get both her and Caplan. I'll definitely watch it, but I won't be giving money to a cinema for the privilege.

My daughter saw it and liked it. Whether that translates to anyone on here liking it I'm not sure.

My Bloody Valentine. Very very very fucking loud.

you cannot probably watch this but

This is a heartbreaking film, purely for the fact that the ukrainians totally understand the situation. 2000 Metres to Andriivka is a first person account of a battle the war and the push by the Ukraine to take back land. If the russians cannot keep their gains they destroy everything so there is nothing left to reclaim. Each principle in the battle is given screen time and we learn their fate later in the film. The line that says it all is uttered halfway through the documentary, "The longer this goes on, the less people will care", and it's true. These poor brave people, not professional soldiers trying to hold on to their land and dignity knowing full well that they will most likely end up dead. Definitely worth watching.

Chicago: Feeling Helpless.

Thanks for this, had read about it previously and had been meaning to watch it.

The Long Walk is very well acted and shot, but the story itself has a couple of fatal flaws, the final outcome is predictable, and its attempt to finish ambiguously flops.

Worth watching for the central performances, but it was a story that King blasted out in a few days when he was young and still finding his feet as a writer, and it shows. If it was written by someone less well known I doubt this movie would have been greenlit.
