If I watch at home I give it 4 stars, if I watch it in the cinema I get carried away and give it 5.

Happy new year, film fans x
My MMotM for Dec 25 was the bit where Michelle Pfeiffer was dancing embarrassingly on the telly in Oh What Fun. Absolutely classic! Right, @TKC ?

We have a thread about that!
Shit son I missed the memo. Dearest friend could you direct me?
Big month, helped by being ill for a couple of weeks. Ticked off a few classics. I knew the Wicker Man was going to be good but I didn’t expect it to be that incredible.
Don’t think I was in the right mood to watch the Descent and that really affected how much I enjoyed it.

Guess what film I saw 2026 in with
Cemetery Junction
I bloody wish
It was Cellular
12 Angry Men last night (could have been a DiS Challenge film but wasn’t in this instance). Obviously great in many ways, incredible performances all round, looked incredible (very sweaty), great script etc. I didn’t love it overall somehow though; I think the general arc of the whole didn’t quite live up to the parts, and I don’t think I was ever surprised by it. Still a very good film, glad I saw it.
