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 FILM VIEWING
TAR (2022, Todd Field) Good movie, one of the better of the year and it feels like a third Oscar is Cate Blanchett’s for the taking after this powerhouse performance. 7/10
Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (2022, Guillermo del Toro) Netflix This was very well crafted visually. Characters were a little annoying and I did not like the songs. 5.5/10
REPEAT MOVIE VIEWING
None this week.
FIRST TIME TV VIEWING
SURVIVOR (2022, Season Forty Three) Better than last couple of seasons but they need to make the show longer and harder like the Australian one. Good TV

I thought you'd go with Eric Bana for best actor. He was close runner up for me. It was pretty close and there were a few in Munich close for supporting too Geoffrey Rush is my favorite supporting performance in Munich. I'll be interested to see what you think of The Fabelmans. I think it's Spielberg's best film since Munich.

First Time Viewing
The Black Hole (1979; Gary Nelson) - An atypical science-fiction movie from Disney, mockingly referred to by some as the studio's version of "Alien", when in fact it was intended more as their own Take on Star Wars. It does have its moments, but by pandering to kids with things like cutesy robots and featuring a cast on autopilot (with the possible exception of Maximilan Schell's villain) it doesn't quite fulfill its potential. 6/10
Dune (2021; Denis Villeneuve) - A bombastic visual experience that just falls a bit short when it comes to character and plot. 7.5/10
Fall (2022; Scott Mann) - Two extreme climbers find themselves stuck at the top of a high radio tower. With a 103 minute run-time this feels a bit bloated, the characters are paper-thin and there are a few plot holes, but the climbing scenes are effective and in its best moments it does deliver a good rush of adrenaline. 6.5/10
TV
The Crimson Rivers - Season 1 (2018) - Based on a popular French thriller, this is a rather dull and formulaic police procedural. 5/10
The Lost World (2001; Stuart Orme) - Solid old-fashioned adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's classic novel which feels a bit by-the-numbers despite a talented cast (Bob Hoskins, Edward Fox, Matthew Rhys, Peter Falk). 6/10
Repeat Viewing
A Licence To Kill (1989; John Glen) - Solid hard-edged Bond movie which tried some interesting new things with the franchise. Arguably not all of it worked, but it's still an underrated film. 7/10

Hello again!
Sorry to say none of yours this week.
Mine:
Matilda (Daniel Mann, 1978)
A movie about a boxing kangaroo taking on the mob. I can only imagine that Elliott Gould and Robert Mitchum must have been stoned out of their minds to agree taking roles in this. Truly awful on every level. 1/10
Clerks III (Kevin Smith, 2022)
There was a time when I absolutely loved Kevin Smith and watched all of his movies. That time is over. I only checked this one out due to a nostalgic love of Clerks (even though I didn’t even like Clerks 2). The end result of this one is that it is better than most of the newer Smith films that I have seen, but not as good as some of his other works. There are aspects that I enjoyed (Jay and Silent Bob reliving their glory days by selling weed outside even though they can sell it legally and own a shop) but overall, I think I’ve just outgrown Smith’s humor. 5/10
Train to Busan (Sang-ho Yeon, 2016)
Very good Korean zombie film. Well directed, suspenseful and makes full use of its train setting. Well worth a watch. 8/10
Piranha (Joe Dante, 1978)
Best of the Jaws rip-offs I’ve seen, but make note, that does not mean it is a good movie. It’s at least self-aware in how ridiculous it is. It’s fairly amusing for a time, but honestly wore out its welcome for me after a bit. 5/10
