The Poison Rose (released internationally as Eye for an Eye) is a 2019 American thriller film starring John Travolta and Morgan Freeman. The film was directed by George Gallo and Francesco Cinquemani.
So, so fucken bad, that I couldn't press stop. What a cast! All performing without an ounce of talent in a completely ridiculously formulaic yet bizarre script.
I don't even know how to rate it.
@kruse, please do your best.

Finally saw Joker.
Wow. Pretty damn good. IMHO Phoenix is easily the best Joker. Having now watched it I’m not sure what the controversy was about prior to release.Will be fascinating to see where they go from here.

A Quiet Place Part II
If you liked the first one, this is a worthy sequel.

Not as good as the first for me

The Deep Ones - based on a H P Lovecraft story.
Pretty crap production values and average acting, but they captured the impending-doom atmosphere in Lovecraft's books pretty well and way better than most big budget films based on Lovecraft's work.

Watched a couple of older movies that for some reason I missed.
The Lives of Others: German film about a Stasi operative monitoring some theatre people. Was a little worried it wouldn't live up to the hype, but it was really good.
Sunshine: A Danny Boyle film I missed for some reason with a pretty decent cast (Captain America, Cillian Murphy, Rose Byrne, Uncle Bully, Michelle Yeoh, Mark Strong). I enjoyed it although I think there were narrative choices in the third act that didn't really fit with the tone of the rest of the film.
And a more recent one:
Irresistible: Essentially a movie about how fucked up Super Pacs are in the US from John Stewart. Starring Steve Carrell, Rose Byrne (interesting to see her go from cute hot in her younger days in Sunshine, to more sexy hot as she's aged), the annoying blond girl from Halt and Catch Fire (who was also in the most recent Terminator), Chris Cooper and then a few other well known actors in bit parts. It was a slight movie but an enjoyable enough hour and 45 minutes.

She was good in Peter Rabbit when I watched with my sons little siblings. Bloody nice derrière I must say.
