Barb & Star go to vista del Mar- 7/10

Bit bizarre with Morgan Freedman making an appearance as a crab.

White House Down 8/10. Absolute trash. But also quite good.

Resident Evil WTRC - 3

Good Lord.

What a strawberry floating car crash. Cynical cash grab use of the franchise with a few moments to pander to the fans to try and disguise this is as low budget, low effort as it comes. Do not bother watching even for the lulz

You can rent it on Amazon Prime's Home Premiere for £15.99 :dread:

Rented it on Sky Store for £15

Categorically not worth it, even for the wanting to see how bad it is value. It’s just a lineup of characters, they say or do something from the game, Jill says ‘Jill’s Sandwich’ hahahahahahahaha, they visit the police station and mansion and then that’s it. There really is nothing here.

Ta I missed it sneaked onto legit sites.

Ghostbusters Afterlife - 7/10
Paddington - 7/10

Werewolves Within - 4/10

Disappointed by this. Apparantly based on a Ubisoft VR Game, the premise of a werewolf whodunit sounds perfect for a "comedy horror" but this is neither funny or scary so perhaps it should have chosen a lane. The characters are unlikeable, underdeveloped and often resort to just shouting at each other. It had an Edgar Wright feel to it, in tone and with the quick cuts but it's really nowhere near as good as something like Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the Dead. Not that long so it'll kill 90 mins if you're desperate for something to watch that isn't too engaging but hard to properly recommend.

The Matrix

10/10

Perfect cast. Perfect soundtrack. Perfect action. Perfect pace. Perfect script. Perfect.

The 4KUHD blu ray quality was lovely too.

A Quiet Place Part 2 - 8/10 - I'm a big fan of the original and this picks up directly after it, plus the intro showing Day 1 of things was masterfully directed. Blunt and the kids acting was top notch as per the first plus Cillian Murphy is always solid.

Don't Look Up - 8/10 - I like my satire a little less pronounced but my god this was good fun, it's just generally funny throughout with some reserved dry humour but as a social commentary it was a little too obvious. I still laughed a lot at the bizarreness of it all. Meryl Streep as a 'female' Trump in all but name is glorious but Jennifer Lawrence and Di Caprio's under stated performance and their exacerbation at the tribal nature of politics was a fun dynamic.

Werewolves Within

Deeply unfunny, with terrible acting by what felt like an amateur dramatics troupe. Honestly, whe worst film I have seen for years.

2

Edit - just looked on Rotten Tomatoes. 86%. Unbelievable.

Encanto

I really enjoyed this, so now I'm going to complain about it in a way that will make you think I thought it was gooseberry fool which it wasn't.

I did enjoy it though.

Help! - 4/10

My current obsession with the Beatles has crossed over into movies.

strawberry float me this is a hard watch nowadays. White people playing Indians (with accents) is horribly cringey. And a few "filthy Eastern ways" jokes are really not acceptable to my soft modern ears.

Even ignoring that stuff, it's a mess of a movie. There are funny bits, inventive bits and the music is incredible. But it's not something I'll ever rewatch.

It's probably still better than Spice World though.

I'll take your word for it.

Never seen it all the way through, it was so bad, i changed channels after just a few minutes.

Saw Spice World at the cinema for my 7th birthday.

Predator 2 - 8/10 is a good film Danny Glover is good and Bill Paxton has a good ott character

The Eternals - 8/10

Found myself surprised by how much I enjoyed this despite the unconvincing trailers and middling word of mouth. Would genuinely like to see a direct sequel to it, which is a lot more than I've said about a lot of other MCU stuff. If not, though, I'd at least hope that there might be some resolution to - or interweaving of - the main characters' stories elsewhere. Thought the visuals of the cosmic scale aspect were handled really well too, something that can look ridiculous all too easily; the Fox F4 Silver Surfer film for example.

Has there been any mention elsewhere in the MCU of the appearance of a Celestial in the Indian Ocean? Or are earthlings now just inured to all sorts of crazy gooseberry fool happening?
