"Cars" from 2006. I had never seen it before. It wasn't bad.

Alien Romulus.
A visual treat, sets styled in the manner of the original, but the plot is a bit meh.
5.5/10.

Just did "Frozen" from 2013.
Nice animation, but too much singing.

Dogman (2023). Brilliant leading actor, lots of clever dogs. A sad but also fulfilling story
Assuming you just watched it with a small child, you may find that it is far from the last time that you watch it. I think I've seen it, or parts of it at least 4 times. Plus once as the West End Musical.
Just got to about half way through and the screen suddenly showed an 'Intermission' sign - !
Had forgotten that back in the early 60s, any film of about two hours or more was invariably given an intermission for folk to stretch their legs and buy more goodies from the sales stands - !
Ben Hur & The longest Day spring to mind.

The only film I've seen that happen in was Alexander, the Oliver Stone one with Colin Farrell. About half the audience left at the intermission and I can't say I blame them.

Alien Romulus 8/10. I loved most of the previous films (apart from Prometheus) so I was hoping this one would be good, and it was. It works as a standalone film but there are some obvious and more subtle nods to the older films. It was more or less confined to one area for the whole film, much like ALien and Aliens, which worked quite well. Even though the main character was a Ripley clone, it provided a good ending.

Eyewitness (AKA Sudden Terror), a British thriller from 1970.
Starring the likes of Mark (oliver) Lester, Lionel Jeffries, Peter Vaughan and Peter Bowles, I was expecting a light hearted and not very thrilling 'thriller'... I think i only watched it to see if Mark Lester could act or not (he really can't)... but since he spent most of the movie looking frightened and running away, his theatrical inabilities were of little concern.
Whilst some of the dialogue is very ropey indeed, there's certain shots and scenes which suggest a very competent director; the elevator scene is beyond brilliant and from there the level of tension just builds and builds. It's hard to take Vaughan and Bowles seriously as the bad guys, but they play a couple of ruthless killers who who don't think twice about shooting a child, her father or a priest. Despite the ropey dialogue and some shoddy acting, this is a very thrilling thriller which i can't recommend highly enough. 8/10

Prescience - 4/10
A neat but far from original concept which ends up going for shocks when the whimsy runs thin. Lucy Liu does her best to drag it along but ultimately isn't given much to work with in a fairly banal effort at a supernatural tale.
