Welcome back to another week of the BEST & WORST edition of 'what movies did you see last week?' thread. For those who haven't been part of it before, basically your host (me) posts my weekly movies and you can comment on those and list your movie for the same time frame. I will get back to you on yours and you can talk to other users here about their films. It's a great place to talk about film.
FIRST TIME MOVIE VIEWING
Happiest Season (2020, Clea DuVall)
A holiday romantic comedy that captures the range of emotions tied to wanting your family's acceptance, being true to yourself, and trying not to ruin Christmas.
6/10
The Rental (2020, Dave Franco)
This dialogue heavy thriller sees two couples who rent a vacation home for what should be a celebratory getaway.
The film is pretty effective but the ending runs out of ideas.
6/10
The Wolf of Snow Hollow (2020, Jim Cummings)
This quirky werewolf movie is a mixed bag and drags in places but also has some effective moments and ideas.
5.5/10
REPEAT MOVIE VIEWING
Whatever Works (2009, Woody Allen)
blu ray
This is one of Woody's funniest comedies and it also has a great message.
7.5/10
Revenge of the Sith (2005, George Lucas)
blu ray
This is clearly the best of the prequels. The problem with the prequels was never the oevrall story but it was the execution of dialogue tone and visuals. This one seems to get closer to realising the effects at a high level and has the best tone and strongest scenes over all.
7.5/10
The Ghost and the Darkness (1996, Stephen Hopkins)
Loosely based on the true story of a bridge engineer and a hunter who play cat and mouse with two large lions who have been killing the crew who are building the bridge. The film is quite gorgeous and has some great tense moments. Strangely enough I do not care for the usually reliable Michael Douglas in his role but I enjoyed Val Kilmer.
6.5/10
Cassandra's Dream (2007, Woody Allen)
This is one of Woody's four english set films and I find it a little underrated and it ended up being a pretty good understated thriller.
6.5/10
Attack of the Clones (2002, George Lucas)
blu ray
Less cringe moments than The Phantom Menace but does not reach the heights that Star Wars should often enough.
5.5/10
Fright Night (1985, Tom Holland)
This Vampire film has a strong reputation and this is the third time I have tried to give it a go and like it. Alas I still find most of it a real slog with only a few good sections.
4/10
FIRST TIME TV VIEWING
The Mandalorian (2020, Season 2)
This is Star Wars. Even better than season one and doing all they can to make up for the sins of the past.
Superior Television

Whatever Works - I really enjoy this one. 8/10
Revenge of the Sith - 7.5/10
Cassandra's Dream - 7/10
Attack of the Clones - 6.5/10
Fright Night - 7/10
First Time Viewings:
The Other Lamb (2019, Malgorzata Szumowska)
This one tells an interesting story and is well made. Beautiful cinematography.
7/10
Buffaloed (2019, Tanya Wexler)
It's mostly enjoyable, but kind of feels like Wolf of Wall Street lite. Strong lead performance though.
6.5/10
Horse Girl (2020, Jeff Baena)
This one doesn't seem to be too well liked, but I found it interesting and engaging throughout. Alison Brie is quite good in the lead role.
7/10
Little Nicky (2000, Steven Brill)
It's an Adam Sandler comedy, so it's pretty dumb as expected, but amusing at times.
5.5/10
Death at a Funeral (2007, Frank Oz)
Pretty enjoyable comedy with good performances and some good laughs.
7.5/10
A Whisker Away (2020, Jun'ichi Satô & Tomotaka Shibayama)
Enjoyable anime, with a fun and creative storyline.
7/10
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020, George C. Wolfe)
This one is well paced and engaging and features wonderful performances from Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis.
7/10
Last Christmas (2019, Paul Feig)
I knew this one had a crazy twist before I watched it, but for the most part it's a decent Christmas romance movie with good performances. The twist is pretty weird though.
6/10
Repeat Viewings:
Monsters, Inc. (2001, Pete Docter)
One of Pixar's very best. Such a fun and creative film that's full of memorable characters and it packs an emotional punch.
9/10

Another one of my favorites from Pixar that's always great fun.
9/10
The Incredibles (2004, Brad Bird)
Yet another one of my personal favorites from Pixar.
9/10
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005, Shane Black)
A highly entertaining and very funny movie with strong performances from the main trio. Always love watching this one.
9/10
National Lampoon's Vacation (1983, Harold Ramis)
An enjoyable roadtrip comedy with good performances and plenty of laughs.
7/10

Attack of the Clones - 6/10
Revenge of the Sith - 8/10
First Time Viewings:
The Grinch (2018) - Netflix
The latest adaptation of the iconic Dr. Seuss story is okay but ultimately nothing special. I prefer the 1966 TV special and Jim Carrey versions more.
6.5/10
It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) - TV
Finally got to check this out and it’s pretty much lived up to everything that’s been said about it. It was a bit different than what I expected since the life erased plot doesn’t happen until the last third of the movie. But it’s still powerfully told and it deserves to be named one of the best Christmas movies there is.
8/10
Repeat Viewings:
Bad Santa (2003) - Netflix
I really enjoy this satirical holiday comedy. Gets better with each viewing.
8/10

Chechik) A funny Christmas themed film surrounding the Griswold family. 7/10 Movie Awards: BEST FILM: Monsters, Inc.

Interested in any of the others? Maybe The Other Lamb and Ma Rainys , you have any interest in my 2020's this week Wolf of Snow Hollow is on my watchlist already and I think The Rental is too. I should get around to Ghost and the Darkness sometime too.
