Nobody 2 (2025)

Bob Odenkirk is the man with a temper and the skills to back it up. Supporting cast including Colin Hanks and Sharon Stone. Fine in a mindless sort of way. Like a more elegant version of the late 80’s stuff you’d get from Seagal or Van Damme. Not as good as the first.

4/10

Get Away (2024)

Nick Frost wrote and stars in this dark comedy horror vacation movie. Aisling Bea plays his wife.

Good fun for what it is. A kind of humourous take on the Wicker Man / serial killer movie vibes.

6.8 / 10

Surprised it’s takes this long to be made in to a film.
Book was a decent read, if I remember rightly.

Cactus Flower 1969 8/10
Walter Mattheu, Goldie Hawn and Ingmar Bergman. Total period piece but great fun and performances, not surprising with such a great cast.

Daniel Day Lewis is back…and not in anything you’d ever expect

His son directed it and the pair wrote it together.

Walter Matthau and Ingmar Bergman: that would have been intriguing.

Jurassic World Rebirth 2025

3/10

Low expectations but this just took the piss to be honest. The plot was pretty much one of them daft films on Syfy. It hit all the wrong notes, ridiculously unrealistic even for a film about mutated dinosaurs, bad acting and just humans behaving like they wouldn't in these situations (although they are obviously made up and far fetched). Even my 10 year picked holes in it. Just stop making them please. Rubbish. And to think owa lass and the bairn wanted a £50+ cinema trip for this shite. Glad they listened.

Don't stop making them, just stop making them SUCK! I don't know why they're finding it so difficult to land the very simple concept of:

- make a good movie
- have dinosaurs in it

It's not like the dinosaur-loving movie-loving public are asking for much. Just every few years or so give us a dinosaur movie that isn't SHIT!

Ran out of ideas? I mean the latest one was just ridiculous

Ran out of ideas? I mean the latest one was just ridiculous

This whole Jurassic World series idea where they felt the need to genetically engineer scarier dinosaurs, (and don't get me started on making raptors trainable ) and now have mutants too was just unnecessary.

The dinosaurs that actually existed were scary enough. Was it so hard to come up with a good script with regular dinosaurs in it?

We see movies with good scripts, good acting and good directing all the time. Why is it so hard for them to have all these things but dinosaurs too?

Klute (1971)

Finally got round to watching this. Donald Sutherland the man tasked with finding his missing friend in New York City. Jane Fonda the only lead he has. The feeling of paranoia emanating from the screen. A good slow burn of a mystery thriller.

8/10

Next up in a period where I’m trying to watch films I haven’t managed to over the years: Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Cure, on the big screen next week.

F1 [2025] 6/10
I spent the first 30-40 minutes laughing at how unrealistic and cheesy this was. Then I turned my brain off and quite enjoyed it.

 

[CPLforever]

I just watched a film called Sing Sing.

About prisoners in Sing Sing and the Acting Rehabilitation Programme.

It's a wee bit clichéd but on the whole quite happy, sad, funny and uplifting.

A strong 8 out of 10 from me.

I would strongly recommend it.

 

[Drifter]

Heads of state - the least surprising movie in the history of movies. Perfectly well executed with a few good lines. Easy enough way to pass a Friday evening 6 and a bit/10

Under The Skin.

Seen it numerous times but it remains class as owt if you’re hammered or high as fuck.

What a journey!!

Freakier Friday 5/10

Too long. Got bored. Confusing swaps and I kept forgetting who was who mainly due to a lack of desire to concentrate. Picked up near the end. One of the lasses is a star in the making though

One that I know is usually in people’s top films of the 21 first century, but which I thought was just fine. Scene on the beach where the baby is left knocked me sick tbh.
