Prey 4/10, yet another Predator film but this is with an unknown (to me) cast. Predictable nonsense where a young lass who wants to prove she can hunt apparently, fails with trying to kill a lion but beats up a massive alien who can kill a bear with its bare hands. Can't believe this got 7/10 on IMDb🤣

South park bigger, longer and uncut - one of the funniest films ever, it proper kills me laughing so I'll probably give it a solid 8.7/10 because it's class :cool: :lol:

One of the last bastions of humour is South Park.

Awakenings - 7/10 - Based on a true story of people in a catatonic state for decades being awoken by a new drug. Stars Robin Williams as the progressive doctor and Robert De Niro as the first patient to receive the drug. Enjoyed this, typically excellent Robin Williams performance but I thought it was an unusual role for De Niro and it really showed off his range as an actor. Not sure how I missed this one originally and was unaware of it. Even more so as I'd read a couple of fascinating books years ago by Oliver Sacks, who wrote the book the movie's based on (Williams plays him).

It’s watchable tbf.
 
Thought 7 was about right, enjoyed it. Bit of chatter about the credits at the end which use native Indian style graphics to show the story again, but the last frame has started the debate...
I didn’t even notice first time round but watched it again earlier. Was three of them that appeared in the final frame.

Think I appreciated the film a little more second time around, thought the female lead was great.

predator spaceship appears above the tribe
so if the bear has won its fight with the predator, would a confused as fuck bear get surrounded by an armarda of predator ships?
 
Prey - Enjoyed it, liked the prequal type vibe, with a few call outs to the original. Must be something else lined up, as Naru gets the gun that turns up in Predator 2 as a gift to Roger Murtaugh.
 
Top Gun: Maverick

Finally got round to seeing it. Enjoyed it. A real throw back to the old way of making movies with actual locations and actors commuting to films rather than knowingly winking at how ludicrous a predicament they find themselves in (I’m looking at you, Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans). Loved the old school “Produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer”. Also thought they did right by Val Kilmer, bravo to all involved.

7.5/10
 
Sexy Beast (2000)

Not sure how I missed this at the time being bang into Guy Ritchie films and what not. This isn't quite at the Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels standard, but it's a really good watch.

It's really short, about 80mins, so if you want a funny, violent, British gangster type film for some light viewing get it watched.

It's a very noteworthy 3.2/4 from Mux.
