Post the last movie you've seen and how you rate it

It pt. 2
It was passable, it indeed feels like a contemporary take on the classic, and the final battle really improved, but remains kind of empty. Oh, and I hated the guy who makes fun of the little twerp is actually in love with him trope.

WELL, in about a month I'll do my review of all the movies I saw this year. Hopefully more people will be active.
Last week I saw Doctor Sleep, I think it's one of the best movies of a not very good year.
The best things and the worst things about the movie come directly out of its two source materials: Kubrick's version of The Shining and Stephen Kind's novel Doctor Sleep.
The acting, particularly of the three main characters Ewen McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson, and Kylie Curran was very good. But this was one of the flaws I found in the movie, there were three overlapping plots that came together in the end. Unlike The Last Jedi the plot was coherent but like the Last Jedi it was both too long for audience comfort and too short to develop many of the characters and relationships. The story may have been better off as a Network mini-series. I would have gladly watched two hours of just Ewen McGregor's story.
The good things: this was one of the best versions of vampires I've ever seen, they were creepy BECAUSE they were so prosaic; one controversial scene is pure nightmare fodder; the world that The Shining happened in is expanded upon beautifully; Danny has a great redemption arc where he faces the legacy from his father; the scenes with Doctor Sleep are exquisite.
The bad things: Mr. King does not write queer people well; two of the plot lines were unified under one POV each (Danny's story and Abra's story) while the third had 4 POVs that I recall - they didn't work together, as such, none of the villains were fleshed out enough; I wanted to see a lot more of Danny's social life - especially Bruce Greenwood's character; and the resolution was not good.
I tend not to give ratings as such since I think it's so subjective. If you do not like supernatural horror it doesn't matter how well done it is you will not like it. If you like supernatural horror that is very well-done (with no jump-scares) you'll like this a lot. This definitely stands up to the classic movie by Kubrick.
For those who like ratings, I give it a 9.5/10. It's a very good thing for a two and a half hour long movie to leave you wanting more.

Sorry We Missed You https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8359816/
Quite liked it, although not an uplifting film at all. It focuses on the self-employed courier exploitation that exists in the UK and the impact it has on families, driving them deeper into poverty. It's a typical Ken Loach film, interesting and eye-opening.

Christmas in Rome (2019)
My One & Only (2019)
The Story of Us (2019)
Royal New Year's Eve (2017)A good old straight romance, all 7/10, I realized that the leading man in all of these four romantic films is Sam Page which is quite handsome even in his early 40. He looks familiar, so I went into his IMDb page and he was the lead actor in the The Brotherhood (2001) using the name, Nathan Watkins

This dreadful pandemic Covid-19 have work suspended, so all I do are house chores, gardening, going to grocery/market and other dyi-ish since the enhanced quarantine in our country. Then at night I watch Hallmark movies. Kind of cheesy but I like most of their movies. One of which is A Prince for Christmas (2015). This film stars Viva Bianca, I never knew she could also act in a lovable way, I always identified her as the cruel and conniving Ilithyia, from Spartacus.
I gave this 7/10

Just finished watching Fantasy Island with my friends via a virtual watch party, xD. Pretty on par with most of Blumhouse Productions…the overall idea/concept of the movie great, but the movie itself leaves a lot to be desired.
-
Above the shadows 7/10 majorly because the lead actor is HOT

Dating Amber is pretty good. Not too heavy. Quite funny, decent soundtrack and very easy watching. Recommend it.

Black Rain https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1332033/
It's one of those "bad" made-for-tv sci fi disaster movies. The fun thing is that two of the main characters are gay and (spoiler) don't get killed. I liked it. -
A Spanish movie called "Toro" (Bull), 2016, pretty good (if you can speak Spanish) to watch, a bit violent, but with very good Spanish actors.
Out of 10 I would rate it as 8,5.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4213806/I'll check this out. I always like Mario Casas, he's good whether in drama, romance or comedy.

I have also seen "El príncipe (The Prince)", Argentina (2019), and I liked it very much. The main actors were unknown to me and I liked them. It's also hard to see, but good.
I'd rate it with an 8 out of 10.
I found the teaser with subtitles in English:

Yay! Thanks for posting that because I had been looking for subtitles or a version with subtitles. Downloaded it today. Can someone report back about what the deleted scenes that are included show as the version I downloaded doesn't have them? Are they worth re-downloading the entire video?

It is in one of the torrent's comment

Thanks. I also see that those scenes are separate files so I wouldn't have to download the entire film again.

Another Country earns an 8 out of 10 for me, as I need more of everything it offered, but wanted to learn more as well, but the ending credits started.

5.5/10
Without giving any spoiler, the animated version is way much better. Disappointed with the fight scenes, they could have done better.
I did not recognize Jet Li immediately.
