Marmalade was quite good fun, somewhat predictable heist / getaway movie but with enough twists and surprises.

Not sure whether this has been mentioned above, but if not The Taste of Things is well worth watching.

Foe, well shot, well acted.
BORING...
Infinity pool covers a similar topic much better.

Robot Jox. Legendry. I keep coming back to this film over and over when I say to people "You've not seen Robot Jox? Sit down with me for 90 minutes and enjoy!"
The story about this film came into my life was back in the day when we had a "video store" nearby I used to have regular "good bad" film afternoons with my mate. We walked in and asked "what is the best worst film you have?" and all 3 people who worked in the shop said in unison "ROBOT JOX".

Wicked little letters.
Very much in that quirky English comedy tradition. I enjoyed it.

I’m surprised no-one seems to have already written about watching Minari.
Similarities with Jean de Florette, but this is a better film, about a Korean immigrant family setting up a farm in rural Arkansas.

Past Lives
2 hours of very little going on except the subtitles.
American Fiction
Builds nicely after a slow start.
I enjoyed it and Jeffrey Wright has always been worth watching going back to Boardwalk Empire.
I am not sure the end was totally satisfactory, but worth the watch.

That looks delightful, though feel the trailer was enough - I love the Frankie Goes to Hollywood bits in the soundtrack too.

One Life and All of Us Strangers - two very different films, both terrifically directed and acted and very moving.

sadly none of the uk streaming services seem to have it available. Can I hack a site using my VPN? I am interested to watch it but don't wish to pay.

I think there are plenty of (illegal) ways to download dodgy movies. Suspect that a VPN isn't necessarily needed.

Just watched the first 15 minutes of it. Well. There's 15 minutes of my life I won't get back! Not sure it's even bad enough to be good!
Mind you, if watched with like-minded wine enthusiasts and a bottle or two, it might be perfect.

Saw Oppenheimer this evening. Gripping and very good but perhaps not as brilliant as it’s been made out to be. Murphy excellent but Downey equally so.

I thought the script was a little lacking (if not strange!) in parts, but Murphy's performance is fantastic.

Yeah. Perhaps it just goes to show how uninspiring the competition was.

Thinking about it again overnight, one thing that stood out to me was how differently Nolan treated Murphy and Downey. He allowed Murphy lots of camera time in a very slow moving style with quite sparse dialogue whereas with Downey it was all rapid fire shots and quick back and forth dialogue. It was almost as if he didn't trust Downey not to mess it up if he gave him too much screen time!

The only really negative comment I can make about Dune 2 is that it is far too short. I actually shouted out ‘oh no’ when it finished. Never read the books, so no idea if the story has ended properly or not, but I would not say ‘no’ to a part 3.

Not as far as I know Alex. The first 2 films cover the 1st Book only. Just read up and they may well make a 3rd film, to cover book 2. My main point though is that the film jumped around a bit too quickly towards the end and they needed more time for the plot to hang together better. I actually preferred Nr 1, but that a bit like picking between 89 and 90 Montrose - both are at the same level.
Saw it on the local screen and will go back and see it in IMAX even if I did find it visually less exhilarating than the first.

I think Villleneuve is widely quoted as saying will be a 3.
