The last movie I watched that was new to me was Rounders (1998). It has Matt Damon and others in it, and it's about playing poker. I really enjoyed it! I'd probably give it an 8.5 out of 10 rating. :)

The last movie I saw happened to be two of them. We first went and saw The Crimes of Grindelwald, it was fantastic! I think they are doing a marvelous job at portraying magic and the issues facing both the wizarding world and non-wizarding world, especially for the times. And then I went with my kids to see The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. I wasn't quite sure what to expect with that, but it was surprisingly good.

the last movie I saw was Duplin. It was rated 5 stars. It is about a high school girl named wiledean dixen. Her mom was a famous pageant winner and she was organizing a upcoming pageant. Wiledean is a bigger girl and decided that she would enter the pageant to show that big girls can be in pageants too. three of her friends entered with her. It was an amazing movie i suggest it.

This is also the last movie I saw. Like you, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also like you (and unlike the critics), I would rate it a 4.5/5 for the layering the laughs into what is otherwise a dark movie about existentialism and progress.

I LOVED Venom. Tom Hardy is a good enough actor and there was enough humor that a rather sketchy premise of a plot worked with it.

I just saw Mortal Engines last night. I really enjoyed it. I never thought they'd be able to show the traction cities like the books describe, but the movie does a bang up job. It was a little derivative and Hester's scarring was nowhere near accurate, but the overall movie was good.

The last movie I watched was Christmas Wonderland, I score it 6/10. Like most Christmas movies it was predictable and in some parts boring. But it did have its moments and was great to have on in the background to help get me into the holiday spirit. I love watching cheesy Christmas movies this time of year.

Bohemian Rhapsody.
I'd rate it a good 8/10. Why?

Well, firstly, I like Queen but am not a die- hard fan and I actually learnt a lot about Freddie Mercury and the band in the film.

Secondly, the actor playing Mercury was very good. Endearing, charming and believable.

Thirdly, it made for an enjoyable night out which is more than I can say for A Star is Born with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper which was a great film but so depressing.

I'd see it again actually because I saw it in French and think seeing it in English would make it even better.

The last movie I saw was Guardians of the Galaxy 2. I would rate it 3 out of 4 stars. The first movie, Guardians of the Galaxy is one of my favorites. The sequel was ok.

I just saw Mortal Engines in Imax 3D, and it was a treat to watch. I can't say the movie itself was the best, as the creators tried to squeeze in quite a bit of information into one movie and the dialogue was laughably cliched at times. But it did keep me entertained the whole way through--mostly due to it's breakneck pace--and as for sheer visuals, it was stunning. The CGI was beautiful. It was complete eye candy, and I would probably watch it again just to look at all the stuff I missed the first time around.

It also made me very interested in reading the books it originated from. I feel like there is a good story hiding somewhere behind a poorly executed Hollywood script.

My last movie was Mowgli. At first I was like was there to watch again but the introduction of the Indian village nearby and the hunter. Wow it made it even look better. I think Mowgli on its own should have its own book :techie-studyingbrown:
