Bottoms - It's the single best comedy I've watched in a long time. On the surface it's 2019 Booksmart but here they just went all in with the raunchy jokes without being too juvenile about it. And more importantly they don't PC the 3rd act with fairy tale ending. In the end just 2 horny girls went about scoring their dream girl with the out of proportion shenanigans. Whether the birdbrain jocks or highly inappropriate adult, it's nonstop laughing rolling on the floor.
PS: Yes it's Sydney from The Bear. It's a shocker to see her here as a one half of the depraved duo.

Killers of the Flower Moon - I like this much more than Oppenheimer. Technically they're not the same genre, as Oscars bait movies concern KOTFM is the superior viewing experience and for sure DeNiro, Leonardo and Lily Gladstone locked for best acting nomination. Don't be alarmed by the screen time cause Scorsese's signature of immaculate editing makes the three and a half hours felt like a normal 2 hours movie. The plot always progressing with new info to suck you in. I was surprised by the amount of humour sprinkle throughout as Leonardo is playing a very effective useful idiot character. While DeNiro went full villain with plenty of charisma. Lily Gladstone has no problem going toe to toe with the 2 accomplished leads, she's the reason that kept you watching. The cameos also enjoyable to watch like Fraser, Plemons and Lithgow. Of course the indigenous Osage community that came alive on screen.

My favourite by far.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (2023)

If you need one sentence to sum it up, it's this: If you're a Taylor Swift fan, this is an unmissable performance.

Almost 3 hours long (also thanks to my cinema having issues with the video twice, each time they rewinded 5–10 minutes before the issue) with an astonishing count (my own count) of 35 songs.

The Eras Tour, if you haven't already known, encompasses her "major" songs from each album, including surprises from her self-titled album all the way from 2006, right up to Midnights.

The amount of effort that went into this Tour is mind-boggling. If you're a movie aficionado, you know the amount of work it takes to shoot a script, and live play is way more complicated with many moving and intricate pieces.

Now think high-octane music, set design, lights, performers, and interaction with the stage elements—all happening at breakneck speeds, one after the other.

I don't know if the real live tour has any "breaks" or intentional "pauses", but here the level of moving pieces (metaphorically & literally) sequentially is incredible.

I enjoyed "Reputation", "Red", "1989" and the super-sultry "Midnights" eras the most.

Cinema-wise, apart from the video issue I mentioned, the video clarity was impeccable & the audio was great, though still not in-person concert-level (Red Tour 2014, that will forever be etched in my memory).

But... this will be the closest some of us will get to being on her Eras tour, from the comfort of our local cinemas, unless you are flying to South America, Australia, Europe or even Singapore tongue.gif

Overall, this is a very memorable experience and a must-watch for Swift fans, though if you enjoy concert films in general, this one is worth experiencing.

I'm glad I (or rather, we) got the chance to watch it on the big screen especially after the initial scare that it might never be here. I know for a fact that watching it later on streaming or video services will NOT do justice.

10/10

One of the best "cinema" experience for me this year, and definitely the best concert film I've seen in a cinema thus far. Memorable to the last bit.

This is a very enjoyable interpretation of the gamestonk fiasco. Love how snappy the narration and things always moving. This more in line with Big Shot instead of Wolf of Wall Street. Since the movement came from Reddit, you have a good deal of meme jokes on screen. On top of that, there's no shortage of cameos to keep things entertaining. Paul Dano is all good as well. Good watch.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023)

2023 is a pretty weird year.

We had all kinds of expectations in movies and alot really did not pen out

There are few Gems, even when the gems are... unexpected.

I did not think I would like a movie call Barbie.

Even the ticket Ursher at the cinema made sure I knew I was going into a movie called Barbie.

And Enjoy that I did.

Right down to the power ballad, I'm Just Ken....

I did not think I would like a movie about, I have become death

A better example of a Docu-drama, you will not find.

Again, I enjoyed it.

Apart from another I did not see it coming original called, Tne Creator, which I also enjoyed, I did not think I would like anymore movies for 2023...

This movie came along. A prequel to Hunger Games.

I didn't think I will go watch it. I did and interestingly, I enjoyed it alot!

Tom Blyth is a great Coriolanus Snow. This drive. His motivation. His need to... thrive.

Rachel Zegler plays a good mysterious Lucy Gray Baird.

Then you have Viola Davis that playes the sadistic Dr. Volumnia Gauland Peter Dinklage playing a reluctant villian Dean Casca Highbottom.

This movie got alot of things right.

I just feel the last twist could have been done better...

If you love the first two Hinger Games, chances are you will love this too.

Thanksgiving (2023)

Talk about blindsided.

This lovely horror movie came out of nowhere.

And it is a great one!

The only really recognizable actor is Patrick Dempsey and he is great in it!

Does it do anything new for a slasher horror movie, no.

The beats is unque enough it gives you the jolt you need.

The kill, oh my goodness, the kills.... Gore fest! I kid you not.

If you like slashers, run I do mean run to your nearest cinema showing this and enjoy before it leaves the theatre.
