Watched The Martian for the first time last night. The problem I have is how the radio conversations between Hermes, Watney and NASA during the rescue could have been heard around the Earth in real time as it takes between 5 and 20 minutes for radio signals to travel between Mars and Earth. |

Return Of The Jedi was good fun on the big screen again. I know objectively it's not the best of the original trilogy, but it's the one that came out at the right time for me to experience the excitement as a 9 year old so feels special. |

The Mario movie was a lot of fun, I'm glad we went to see it as a family. I suppose I can see why critics weren't so keen (a critics gotta critic after all) but screw them; it was fun and the kids, especially the 6 year old, loved it. |

I watched a film! Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3! I watched it in the IMAX 3 DEEZ and, I gotta say, it’s about time Marvel did a good film. I had a jolly old time: it’s amusing (although a couple of really poor comedy moments that reminded me of the kinda-shit Christmas thing they did); has a basic ass story (which works for action movies so kudos), and actually made me tear up on two occasions (so good job, but it ain’t hard to make me cry when it comes to animals). Oh and it looked absolutely terrific. Fuck knows why the last few Marvel movies looked like dogshit CG light shows cause this looked ace. The organic base was a particular highlight: all fleshy and shit. The 3D didn’t add much (not everything can be Avatar), but it worked great in a few scenes. So yeah, a super good time! |

Just back from watching Guardians 3, and yes, it was excellent. Easily the best one since the Avengers double bill, and nice to see it telling a self contained story. |

Yeah, I went to see GoTG3 last Wednesday -- it's very good, unlike most of the other recent Marvel bollocks, the storyline is really easy to get behind, and the stakes are pleasantly low for a Marvel movie so it doesn't feel like one of those situations where you know they're going to succeed because if they don't then the whole universe explodes, which has been a real bugbear of mine in so many series (even Doctor Who) |

I’ve no idea why Guy Richie has plastered Guy Richie all over Guy Richie’s The Covenant. Frankly, I wouldn’t want to be associated with this pile of shit. It’s a below average look at the Afghan war with embarrassing CGI and “stunts”. There was one neck stabbing that’s so bad I swear I laughed. I’m baffled that this was the same guy who did Snatch or Lock, Stock. Mind you, he did the Aladdin live action recently… |

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3! Went with my son. What a really good film. It made me laugh and cry. The story was brilliant and you really did not know they would succeed. Drax has some of the best comedy lines. An excellent. 9/10 |

Some family movies (my kids are 10, 8 and 6) we watched on Netflix recently WWE Main Event: From the trailer you, being an adult that has seen a few films over the years, will have a high probability of correctly guessing the formula that this one follows. There's no surprises but it's pretty well done, funny, the grandma character (!) was sassy and funny and wore cool leggings and was nice looking. A few wrasslers make an in-character (but not wrasslin) appearance, mostly The Miz who I happen to like. The kids enjoyed it, it was solid, colourful and fun yet also nothing special whatsoever. Chupa: From the trailer you, being an adult that has seen a few films over the years, will have a high probability of correctly guessing the formula that this one follows. There's no surprises but it's pretty well done, the story is warm and has a nice message although it's also very lightweight and a bit rushed. Christian Slater must be desperate for a paycheck, yet it was still nice to see him on screen even if he was the most one-dimensional baddy I've seen for a long time. The kids enjoyed it, it was solid, nice and yet also nothing special whatsoever. Reading IMDB afterwards (cos, you just gotta), these films got pretty bad reviews from the critics but I think that looking at them with the perspective of family viewing and adjusting the criteria gives quite a different feeling, they're easy going and good for the young ones, I'd recommend them for a cold lazy afternoon. |

That new Dungeons & Dragons film is definitely a cinema film. And, y’know what, it’s a pretty fun and mindless. There’s some fun characters and lots of bantz. Too much bantz to be fair. But don’t let the bantz put you off. Bantz. Bantz/10 |

Sisu. Watch Sisu, so long as you like violent action done with a bit of artistry. I'm in Finland, protagonist is Finnish. I speak as much Finnish as you, and it doesn't matter. The Nazis speak English. Watch Sisu. Edit: If that appeals, do NOT watch the trailer. Maybe afterwards, as a recap. |

I watched a film! How to Blow Up a Pipeline. Based on a book and not recent recents. Anyway, it was alright. The unknown actors did a decent job, it’s reasonably well directed and there’s a bit of a twist in the story but I wasn’t that invested. Theres too many characters in the story to feel much during the short runtime and some don’t have any or much of an arc. Overall it was kinda middling. |

I might be in the minority here but I didn’t like the Super Mario Movie much. I really enjoyed the opening A LOT but when it got to the mushroom kingdom I went off it. It wasn’t bad by any means but it just felt … off. Somehow. I don’t know, it was racing around from one scene to the next, and it just wasn’t as fun seeing the Mario Bros getting into it with a dog. Yeah, yeah, it’s fun seeing all the things and going “I know that thing from that thing” but there was something really fun about the dog scene that was missing from Mario training on an abstract block course, or hundreds of karts racing about on rainbow road. It’s the old CG swarm problem that most modern films seem to have. A smaller personal scene with lots of character and comedy is miles better than swarms of on-screen noise where just stuff is happening. The fight against Donkey Kong was fun but, say, contrast it with the fight with Bowser where just stuff is just happening. It’s not funny, it’s barely advancing the story as you know exactly what’s going to happen and it’s not doing much for me as an audience member…I was just waiting for the end. And I’m pretty sure “mamma mia” was overused. Yeah, the script was thin on gags after about 30 minutes and was nonexistent by the finale. It really disappointed me by the end. Still better than Sonic though. |

Shazam: Fury of the Gods Sponsored by Skittles. “Taste the rainbow muthaHONK” Actually, it ain’t that bad at all. Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu playing the villains was quite surprising. As one of this last run of the DCU it’s kinda sad it’s not going to continue with some of these actors. Gotta say, as someone who doesn’t give too much of a fuck about comics, I got pretty hyped to see Gal Gadot. Shame she’ll never get a Wonder Woman 3. She pretty iconic in that role IMO. Shame really that the Snyder-verse never got a chance continue either in retrospect. I quite fancied the future Batman from the Snyder cut. |

Wimmin can’t hold chainsaws! Why’s Evil Dead gone so woke!? Urgh. Anyway I watched Evil Dead Rise And, yeah, it’s pretty decent. I kinda didn’t care for the Evil Dead connection at first but some of the call backs were pretty cool and when the actor goes all Bruce I kinda wanted to see more of that actually. All the actors do a stand up job and the blood, oh my god the blood, it’s groovy. And it smashes that brisk 90 minute run time. 30 minutes set up and an hour of horror, blood and generally being disgusting. Horror movies aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but if you like that sort of thing then this’ll scratch an itch for the gross. “Hats off” to the intro too. Loved it. |

SISU WAS >. < CLOSE TO BEING JOHN WICK/10 It’s brilliant madness and has an unbeatable 60 minutes at the start … but it tails off just slightly towards the end. A standard punch up (although admittedly has the best “fuck you” in a film ever), some crap music and some dodgy CG just let down what was a stellar hour of movie nonsense. I would like a SISU 2 now please. |

Do you like Hereditary? Midsommer? They’re two of my favourite horror films in recent times so I was really excited for the new one from the same director, init. Beau is Afraid. Honestly, I’m not sure I enjoyed it at all. I might actually hate it. But I can’t stop thinking about it… I’d tell you what it’s about but I’m not sure I know. I can tell you it isn’t much of a horror film like the others. It’s unsettling at times. It’s very well directed like the previous films and looks amazing at times. Really well shot and the aesthetics are great. What else? Christ, I kinda loved it until the attic scene. Then it really lost me. It was so daft and stupid. I want to tell you what it is … ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! So yeah. It’s definitely a film. I’d give it a solid rating of hairy badger out of green banana |

65 Is a terrible movie. It pretty much spunks its load when the title of the movie is revealed. I’ll do a spoiler in case anyone wants to watch just cause it’s so fucking stupid… not quite Moon levels of stupid, but stupid nonetheless. Now I’ve remembered Moon. I thought that might have been a fever dream. Anyhoo… ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! And it has that future tech bullshit that really pisses me off in every film where the compooter knows everything and announces everything. It was reet crap. |

Christ, I’m having a film binge recently. I started to watch; Hypnotic Don’t be fooled by the fancy trailer. This is as generic as they come, in terms of dialogue, characters, direction etc. the score is the most generic I’ve experienced in quite some time. It feels like a slightly higher budget TV movie. It’s got straight to DVD written all over it. Ben Afleck is astonishingly terrible. Embarrassingly terrible. He’ll cringe about this blight on his filmography in later years. He’s probably doing it already. Right now. I know I am on his behalf. It’s shit is what I’m saying. |

I watched M Knight Shyamalan‘a film, Old. Aw man, I wish I hadn’t. It’s got to be some of the worst shit ever made. Terrible actors and atrocious dialogue really make a film that’s so bad it’s fucking appalling. The story isn’t that bad but the execution is laughable. Shout out to the baby that “died from lack of attention”. It made me laugh, entirely unintentionally, three times just from the delivery of certain terrible lines or some old daft shit that happened. I’d say give it a watch just for the lulz. What a shit show. |

I watched a film. Fast X. X = shit Dunno why I was so grumpy watching this (well, I wanted to take the missus to see it in 4DX cause she hasn’t been to one of those and this one just made sense. Anyway, spidder mun made sure they ain’t showing it in 4DX anymo. Shitheads.) but it just wasn’t doing anything for me. And I enjoyed the craziness of the back end of this series a fair bit indeed. It promised to get good when Jason Statham playing the Jason Statham character got involved and looked a bit cross for a minute. Buuuut then he wasn’t in it again! Probably because this is a two-parter and I dare say they’re leaving all the wackiness for the next part. The wackiness for this part largely consisted of Jason Momoa acting like a flamboyant loon and… lots of obvious CG fire and smoke. Man alive those pooter graphics were doing my tits in. Hey film makers, just fucking set fire to stuff hey! So yeah, it just kinda wasn’t doing shit for me. There’s some bits which kinda made me laugh in the usual “would you look at this nonsense” that’s typical for this series now but largely I was kinda bored. Probably cause my seat wasn’t launching me around and spraying me with water. Tch. |
