Prey ( Skull)
Better than what i thought it would be and to be honest I enjoyed it.

13 Lives.
Not a bad interpretation of a very good documentary. Missing a lot but its ok.

Elvis has his place.  I preferred the sources that he drew from.

A friend's mother had a shrine to him in her house with all kinds of crazy memorabilia.  Her daughter has an Elvis doll instead of an angel on her Xmas tree.  There's all kinds of people in the U.S. who are still very much devoted to him.  And there's an industry of Elvis impersonators.  I'm not sure how strong the market remains for that entertainment niche.  He's been dead long enough that I suspect this kind of hagiography/biopic will do well in theatres (as much as any movie can do well in theatres/since Covid).  The clip looked interesting.  Did you like the film?

I wont say I dislike it, The young actor did well in the part as per Tom Hanks, To me its another film out of its era. I have watched it, wont watch again :).
Elvis is still has a cult following in the UK.

It sounds like the kind of movie I'd watch on an airplane if I didn't have something more compelling to read.

I took a couple of hours off from studying to watch IMDb: Vengeance and I was genuinely surprised just how much I enjoyed it. The ending got much darker than the majority of the movie - which was kinda fun - but I think it worked just about how it should.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

The Batman. Finally got around to watching it. I thought it was pretty decent. Not sure Robert Pattinson makes a believable Bruce Wayne but I thought he pulled off Batman pretty well. I enjoyed the dark but not "everything blue-tinted" atmosphere and the pacing was good for me (though most people I know say they fell asleep at the beginning). 3 hours is pretty long for a movie but, for me at least, the story kept me entertained.

Everything Everywhere All at Once.
I wanted to like this movie.  It had a promising original premise and then degenerated into sentimental claptrap.  Boo.  That's 2:19 of my life I won't get back.

I hope for your sake that is 2 minutes and 19 seconds.

Nope, 2 hours & 19 minutes, but I started fast forwarding after an hour.  I probably put in 2 hours worth.  The movie should have been less than 90 minutes, but it was a bloated CGI spectacle.

Not a lot atm again. Documentaries taking a battering as worked nights and always have a few hours spare.
Did watch Bullet Train and thought it was pure fun (a tad Guy Ritchie but for what it was twas great).

Couple of documentaries
USA one  
Wow a brutal version of how America left Afghanistan with disturbing footage. How they thought they would ever win this war against fanatics  🤷‍♂️
GB (BBC) Documentary Afghanistan: Getting Out 2022 (cannot find a player link)
Very BBC, plenty of politicians and senior people saying how it went wrong. So British
