Watched Fall and Luther last week.

Fall was ok, I saw the 'twist' coming a mile off though.
Luther was passable, but a) there's something about Andy Serkis I find distractingly annoying in every film he's in, so struggled to get past that, and b) Luther is nowhere near as good without Alice Morgan.
 
Watched Scream 6 last night, always enjoyed the franchise and was buzzing for the reboot for nostalgic reasons.
Five wasn’t great but 6 Is worse and I feel they should’ve left it well alone and shelved it once Neve Campbell pulled out for 6.
Courtney Coxs face is a huge distraction and I’ve had a dream Ghostface was a chasing me hence me being awake at this time 😂😂

I’ll be making a second attempt at the Luther film tonight, fell asleep part way through on my first attempt last week.
 
Palm Trees and Power Lines (2023)
An aimless 17 year old girl enters into a relationship with a 34 year old man who grooms her into becoming one of his "working girls".
3.5/5 Believable acting and a realistic scenario, if a little overlong and low key.

I loved it its now second on my list of Scream films

Last I watched was Fisherman's Friends 2 on prime as I went to the musical last Month. Not sure i'd rush to watch again but was ok
 
I’m usually a book worm but as I’ve started teaching A-Level film I’ve been branching out on viewing a variety of films as a bit of a New Year’s resolution. I started by creating a list of all the Oscar/bafta nominated films and used these emojis to signify if I’d seen it, wanted to see it or wasn’t bothered ✔️▶️⛔️ (I’m not that nerdy honestly) Triangle of Sadness was mad! Like a random mix of White Lotus style with some nauseating visuals of vomit and sewerage - but I was so gripped I couldn’t look away!

I got bored quickly with the list so went through the Palm D’or winners since the 1950’s. This has been much more enjoyable! Films I’d not heard off or vaguely heard of that played some significant role in the history of film.

I particularly enjoyed ‘The Conversation’ (1974) FF Coppola with Gene Hackman. Also caught up with Barton Fink, Marty and Sex, Lies and videotapes.

Anyway I came in here to share that I’d watched Navalny, the Oscar winning documentary from this year. It was excellent and the whole scenario is so corrupt and crazy. If you are interested in Russia or documentaries in general it is a must see.

Anyone recommend and other ‘lists’ I should look in to? I thought about looking in to certain Directors and watching their first, most successful and most recent releases.

Sorry for the boring long post 😂
