What Film (Movie) Have You Just Watched?

Zero Day [2025 TV]
Zero Day asks the question on everyone’s mind - how do we find truth in a world rife with conspiracy theory and subterfuge, how much of those forces are products of our own doing, perhaps even of our own imagining? Cyber-hacking political thriller, stacked with a top cast, potholes abound but it draws parallels with the state of US politics today and is nevertheless entertaining.

Black Box Diaries [2024 Movie]
Journalist Shiori Ito directs the film of her own book that investigates her sexual assault by Japans Prime Minister Abe's personal biographer, seeking to prosecute the high-profile offender. Her quest becomes a landmark Me-too case in Japan, exposing the countries outdated judicial and societal systems. A powerful, award nominated documentary in both English and Japanese.

Adolescence [2025 TV]
When a 13-year-old is accused of the murder of a classmate in the UK, his family, therapist, and the detective in charge are all left asking what happened and how incel played a part. Four-part miniseries, each episode intensely filmed in an impressive one-take continuous mode, some of the best acting on TV today, and one of the most powerful TV dramas ever made.

Last Breath [2025 Movie]
A true story that follows seasoned North Sea divers offshore Aberdeen, as they battle the elements to rescue their crew mate trapped hundreds of feet below the ocean's surface following an undersea gas pipeline repair job that goes wrong when the ship loses its dynamic positioning system. Best seen if you haven't seen the 2019 movie documentary it's based on, a gripping well made standard formula thriller. Worth seeing.

 

[Palatkik]

Juror #2 [2024 Movie]
While serving as a juror in a high-profile murder trial, a family man finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma, one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict or free the wrong killer. Slow paced entertaining albeit unconvincing drama, possibly the last ever movie directed by Clint Eastwood.

 

[Palatkik]

Myth of Man [2025 Movie]
A woman embarks on a whimsical odyssey between life and death, convinced she has received a message from her creator. Steampunk feel, highly original art house movie, the visuals and sound effects keep you engaged if you make the effort. OK if you like this sort of thing, but for some a step too far at two hours with  no dialogue.

Watched for the first time in ages

 

Quite sad in parts

Soylent Green [1973 Movie]
A nightmarish futuristic fantasy about the controlling power of big corporations and an innocent cop who stumbles on the truth. Uneven and muddled, made in 1973 and set in the future of 2024, it makes for an interesting view today in 2025, especially if viewing first time!

Bring Them Down [2024 Movie]
An Irish shepherding family thrust into battle on several fronts: internal strife, hostility within the family, rivalry with another farmer. A brutal feud between Irish sheep farming families, excellent stuff.
