I haven't watched a superhero film in years. But others still seem to enjoy them and pay to watch them. As long as the demand is there they will keep being made.

People buy cold play records and voted for Hitler, people can't be trusted.

In a broad contrasy to the tiresome hipster shambles of The Pheonician Scheme, I went to see mission impossible final reckoning with the missus.

I don't even really remember seeing a full mission impossible film before, but did it matter? Like fudge it did! Full of completely over the top with insane action scenes amd clichéd dialogue but rather than being a film nazi, I just enjoyed it, it was fun. Similar to Thunderbolts in that sense.

We've had the limitless passes for a couple of months and are cancelling because we're both skint. Too often these days I just find myself waiting for a film to end and it's mainly the rereleases that I enjoy and they don't really seem to advertise those too well....

I checked out Revenge - Coralie 'The Substance' Fargeat's debut - this weekend. Nearly as gnarly and I enjoyed it for what it was - a quite taut, revenge gore 'em up, albeit with a few plot holes you could drive something pretty large through!

Just watched it, and really enjoyed it. Could have done with a bit more blood though! Which made me want to Google this:

The amount of blood needed in the human body for survival is a complex question, but the average adult has approximately 5 litres (around 10 pints) of blood, which is about 7-8% of their body weight. Losing more than 40% of your blood is generally fatal.

Pretty sure there was a lot more than 4 pints shed per person!

Just saw Licorice Pizza - plenty of great quirky scenes in it. Boy meets girl, but it's got an edge. Smart and unpredictable. A bit repetitive in how the plot, if you can call it that, advances, a bit slow at times, but enjoyable none the less. Visually really good, the vibe seems to catch the 70s really well and the soundtrack is top top notch! Overall, I enjoyed it.

Oh, and I finally saw Yes Man yesterday, from 2008 with Jim Carrey. I loved it.

28 years later was good. Even if i'm not a fan of zombie films. Not sure about the harry enfield scousers at the end though.
Seems it's going to be a trilogy. Which could be interesting. Or not.

The next movie has already completed filming and will be in cinemas next January

which helps explain the abrupt ending.

The Bone Temple is apparently going to show us more about Jimmy’s gang in this alternate reality where the Sycamore Gap tree still stands and Saville’s crimes were never uncovered.

That's often happens, my daughter worked on "A Thousand Blows" and they filmed both series at same time.

Watched Heritic and thought it was great. Clever and twisted whilst maintaining a good pace (hard considering the subject and small number of actors)
