Movies

All three that I've seen are watchable, although decreasingly good.

At the cinema now, awaiting the start of the Mario Galaxy thing. Parenting, eh?

My wife dragged me to the pub and back, where I happened upon some bottles of rather tasty ale.

Not quite sure how something so relentlessly fast and inventive could be so boring.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. Am I right in remembering the daughter goes to Europe to follow U2 on tour (and they don’t even appear) and Liam Neeson reacts with utter horror when he discovers she’s gone to Paris (like it’s Kabul)? (Ok, he’s proved correct but still.)

Close. He knows she's going to Paris but is horrified she's actually planning to follow U2. There's an argument that being kidnapped into sex slavery is a lucky escape from having to repeatedly watch U2.

And she's abducted in Paris anyway, so that plays no further part.

Ballerina was terrific. Fight choreography as exceptionally good as all the JW movies bar the first sequel, and Ana de Arnas gives probably the best action chick performance since Gina Carano in Haywire. Three particularly inventive and fun battles,

with the last being particularly cinematic.

Went to see the Hail Mary Project, I thought it was Ok, but there was a trailer for the He-Man film. I'm counting down the days.

Watched the Minecraft movie, surprisingly enjoyable

Steve's Lava Chicken Oh YEAH

Managed to persuade Little Miss BW to come to the cinema to watch The Magic Faraway Tree. A family's just walked in during the trailers with a baby... who's crying.

I mean, who does that?

For an 8pm showing?? Weird.

I really have no idea why Russ has such hatred for timothee chalamet. He always chooses interesting roles and is a phenomenal actor. He defintely should have won the Oscar for his Bob Dillon performance (the film itself wasn't brilliant but he was), and like DiCapro each film has a punky/anti authoritarian edge. I really liked Marty Supreme. I mean who would make a film about table tennis and make it so anarchic where he gets his arse spanked by a paddle and still gets to bang Gwynth Paltrow and piss off a a load of Japanese, whilst falling naked through floors whilst being shot at whilst trying to get a dog back that he lost when he scammed a lot of people whilst doing table tennis hustling. His character is abrasive for sure yet just keeps on the right side of not hating him. Even if you do, the film is still highly entertaining.

Top marks.

I kinda liked it but it was way too long. In fact, if they’d cut the, quite frankly, completely pointless and ludicrous bits about the dog that did absolutely nothing to move the film along, it would’ve been a way better experience and a much better film.

I hated that movie passionately on multiple levels.

Chalamet plays weenies and shitheads and he is utterly incapable of playing any kind of believable emotion.

I'm not particularly a fan of Chalamet but 'A Night To Remember' is a decent song.

I found "Greenland" with Gerard Buttwad a passable brain off big budget disaster movie. Explosions n shit
For "Greenland 2:migration" they removed the budget. And the script. And any form of meaningful plot. Even for someone with a low quality threshold like me, it was a waste of my life.

Nah. No more Oscar’s for people doing impressions.. or they may as well just give it to Rory Bremner every year.
