Film 2025 17:13 - Jan 10 with 47409 views | E17hoop | To save polluting the TV thread, I thought I'd start a thread for the films we've seen this year. I saw A Real Pain the other day and it's a really nicely put together piece by Jesse Eisenberg. It unpeels like an onion, with each layer getting closer to the central pint. Good film. Babygirl could have been so much better. Nicole Kidman does well but it all feels a bit 'off'. Rewatched Anatomy of a Fall the other day - brilliant. |  |

Film 2025 on 17:29 - Aug 13 with 347 views | E17hoop | Some more recent film watches... Inside - Aussie prison drama with Cosmo Jarvis once again being brilliant. Weapons - first film from the makers after Barbarian. The first two acts are great but it's a bit predictable in the third - some great gore if you like that of course. The Naked Gun - Remake we didn't know we wanted. And still don't. Terrible. The Fantastic Four First Steps - best of the superheroes films for a while until I saw... Superman - this was brilliant. Loved the storytelling, casting, the whole thing. |  |

Inside sounds great! I'll give that a go tonight. Agree F4 & Superman! Apart from the pocket universe cartoony fight thing which was a bit much, I really liked Superman. You can tell they're trying more feel-good and earnest appraoaches instead of the dark brooding stuff, and it's a nice change. Fantastic Four was like a live action Incredibles. |  |

Saw Weapons last night … I enjoyed it. Actually laughed a fair amount and appreciated the tension. E17, what did you think of Barbarian? I preferred Weapons, but perhaps because Barbarian gave me an idea of what I had signed up for this time… |  | |  |

I LOVED Barbarian. It started one way and then just went somewhere completely different. There was humour in Weapons which I hadn't expected and appreciated the moments of levity. |  |
