Last Film You Watched

I need to apologise for my review.

I’ve been informed by my son that it’s an average movie and that I’ve just been ‘Fan Serviced’ as I grew up with the originals.
Your son is clearly misguided, and needs to give his head or wobble or you could always dis own him.
 

Senior Year - Missus put it on last night and she lasted about 20 minutes. I managed about 45. A fan of Rebel Wilson but this is absolute dross.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story - Much better. A good few wilfully stupid laughs to be had.

Holmes & Watson - Was expecting a car crash given it's reputation but it exceeded expectations. Not a classic by any means and has all manner of flaws but gave me a few laughs when I was expecting none whatsoever.
 

Jaws 3 (1983)
Because.. y'know.
Not a great movie. In fact, it's terrible when you judge it objectively, although interesting to see the likes of Lea Thompson and Dennis Quaid paying their dues here.
The main problem is that the shark sequences are so poor - dodgy green screen FX which conveys no sense of speed or power.
Not sure if its a better or worse movie that #4, but not much in it either way.

2/10
 
I tuned in to a movie last night on Granada Men & Motors called ‘Ken Wright's Good Times 2: Just Drink Oil’, and from the title I thought it was going to be a bawdy comedy in the style of the Carry On films, or the more risqué Russ Meyer movies of the 1970s.

Kinell, it was turgid. Really, really poor, but strangely kept me engaged throughout for two reasons: (1) to see how it ended and (2) some intriguing characters (one lad sellotaped himself to a railing by the neck to protest about something). It was mostly an awful watch and really heavy-going but the implausible ending almost made up for it (though it was obviously a rip-off of the ending to an educational seminar from 1994 called 'A Warning From History: Keep it up with Michael Walker').

I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to see it again and loads of the main characters should never work in the industry again because they're an embarrassment to their profession. Having said that, a sequel is almost inevitable and as I'm a connoisseur of late night film content on Granada Men & Motors, I'm sure I'll have to sit through that as well.

Official Rating: 8.5 out of 10

The best scene is when the shark is approaching the underwater lab (or whatever it is) not even moving until the glass smashes.
