The Last Duel (2022)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 5 cats
Director: Ridley Scott
Starring: Adam Driver | Ben Affleck | Harriet Walter | Jodie Comer | Matt Damon

The Last Duel

Thom says: “I certainly did not go into this film with any extraordinary expectations other than the presence of Adam Driver (and he is, as usual, impeccably brilliant). Director Ridley Scott has had a remarkably diverse career of such varied

Ford v Ferrari (2019)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 1.5 cats
Director: James Mangold
Starring: Christian Bale | John Bernthal | Matt Damon

Ford v Ferrari

Thom says: “So it appears with age some objectivity is almost totally lost. To be up front, I have absolutely no interest in cars, car races, nor anything to do with automobiles. I understand their need and usefulness but at

Hereafter (2010)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 2.5 cats
Director: Clint Eastwood
Starring: Bryce Dallas Howard | Cécile de France | Derek Jacobi | Matt Damon | Thierry Neuvic

Hereafter

Thom says: “I’m certainly not Clint Eastwood’s biggest fan (UNFORGIVEN is his only 5 CATS film for me) but he definitely has to be greatly admired for not sticking to one style or genre. Here he goes for a dramatization of the

Ponyo (2009)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3.75 cats
Director: Hayao Miyazaki
Starring: Cate Blanchett | Frankie Jonas | Kurt Knutsson | Matt Damon | Noah Lindsey Cyrus | Tina Fey

Ponyo

Thom says: “First off I’m not at all a fan of animation but I’ve long thought Miyazaki was by far the best of the lot. His SPIRITED AWAY, PRINCESS MONONOKE, HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE, & CASTLE IN THE SKY were all

The Departed (2006)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4 cats
Director: Martin Scorsese
Starring: Jack Nicholson | Leonardo DiCaprio | Mark Wahlberg | Martin Sheen | Matt Damon | Ray Winstone | Vera Farmiga

The Departed

Bruce says: “Adapted from the critically acclaimed Hong Kong film INFERNAL AFFAIRS, THE DEPARTED is fairly faithful to its source. The wonderful, intricate plot remains intact – a mole from the local mobsters has infiltrated the police force and a

Gerry (2003)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Director: Gus Van Zant
Starring: Casey Affleck | Matt Damon

Gerry

Emily says: “GERRY is going to be one of those that generates a lot of dissension amongst Chlotrudis ranks, I think. Its an either ‘you love it or you hate it’ kind of film. I’ll say one thing, that it

Ocean’s Eleven (2001)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3 cats
Director: Stephen Soderbergh
Starring: Andy Garcia | Brad Pitt | Carl Reiner | Elliot Gould | George Clooney | Julia Roberts | Matt Damon

Ocean’s Eleven

Hilary says: “OCEAN’S ELEVEN is a fun diversion. Clearly, Stephen Soderburgh can make great films in his sleep — this one looks great, and the cast includes several actors who’ve appeared in his films previously and had a hell of
