What I've been watching Feb 2022

Ben Willis an art student cannot sleep after breaking up with his girlfriend so uses his spare time to work nights in a supermarket. Here he meets a few characters and discovers he can pause time.
Quirky and mainly enjoyable rom com but ultimately its a rom com where everything expected really happens in the end. A surprising amount of nudity and tits in this

Enjoyable 60s heist movie.
A disgruntled former army officer asembles team of skilled but disgraced military men to rob a bank. Its almost like watching a prim version of Reservoir Dogs

Eye candy broad absurdist kind of French language satire on AI and families/neighbours. Watchable for its pure style and overall weirdness. Strangely this future is not that far off possible. It even manages to slip in a joke about Corona virus

I think this is my favourite Guillermo del Toro
movie. A man joins a circus and learns how to be a mentalist/mindreader act as a con. After leaving the circus he wants more when he links up with a psychiatrist.

Great cast and great movie. del Toro leads you believe there maybe some fantasy elements in this but apart from the grotesque first third its mainly a drama/thriller. It kind of switches to a Noir-ish part of the way through. If the first part was quicker and some bits a little tighter Id give this a 9/10. Any way a very worthwhile film

I think this may be Disneys most mature film. A young girl Mirabel grows up feeling a little detacthed from her family who all have magical powers. Things start to go wrong as she sees literal cracks in the family and their family home

This is glorious eye candy. Its very touching in places especially about 3/4 through where Mirabel talks about only trying to do good. Its a musical and I thought most songs were really lacking. Other than that this film is worth the watch

"A young family is tormented by paranormal events after they install a vintage door in their home."

I have recently watched the series A Girl In The Woods and I think this is an earlier idea of a similar story

The movie isnt that bad and is more about sacrifice than horror. I liked the basic conceptbut its execution was not good

Not bad low budget horror/thriller. A simple premise and set up. A young mother lookingafter her toddler daughter and bay boy is locked into a room by her junkie boyfriend/husband. At first she has to deal with somehow looing after her 2 offspring while trapped in there. This is furtehr complicated when her partners friend a suspected paedophile enters the house. Some very tense moments but obvious religious imagery and a dopy rise from the dead/he's not really dead part spoil this
