Dunno why, but this was on my imdb Watchlist. Really good. So tense to start with. Half an hour in I felt like it must be nearly over, there was that much going on. Great performances by the lead male and teenage girl.

Also watched Mr Nobody last night.
A boy stands on a station platform as a train is about to leave. Should he go with his mother or stay with his father? Infinite possibilities arise from this decision. As long as he doesn't choose, anything is possible.

Another one that's been on my listy for ages. Finally got round to watching it and glad I did. Really good again. A bit confusing with all the jumps back and forth through different timelines, but well worth it.

Unpopular opinion:
RRR is 10x better than John Wick
Superior in every way
Story
Stunts
Soundtrack
Acting
Won't watch John Wick again or the sequels but will probably watch RRR again if we ever upgrade from a 46"

Air. Absolutely outstanding. Casting is spot-on and the soundtrack amazing.

I wouldn't give it ten but it's not bad. I'd give the girl in it the best 10 seconds of her life if that's what you meant? Probably a 6.5.

We've all been there though, early in the morning usually near the Grafton

Where did you see this mate? Can't find it with subtitles

Champions - Woody Harrelson, decent watch. It's done like a kids film though but with some adult content, which makes it a little odd at times.

Cocaine Bear - completely daft, better than I expected.

The Black Phone with Ethan Hawke. It's alright, decent enough thriller. Don't think it was anywhere near as scary as it could've been which is a bit of a shame.

Underrated as an actor and fantastic in Sinister.

Fair enough. It's on Amazon without subs. Really want to watch this

Death Dimension - aka Freeze Bomb

The trailer does a better job than any description I could give it. The 'Freeze Bomb' is a complete McGuffin to string together some Jim Kelly action scenes which is no bad thing. And OddJob as a badass 1970s crime overlord in tight polyester clothing is something worth seeing.

Terminator: Genisys - 4/10. This was so bad I almost gave up...picked up slightly in the second half. Characters are bottom-draw. There's a CGI vehicle pile-up which felt so cartoony...compare that with the proper vehicular stuntwork from T2. Sad.

I thought it was fun enough. And I quite enjoyed the ongoing gag about 'Pops' smiling. By no means of great quality but once you're 4/5 films deep into a franchise built off a classic that was never meant to be a franchise then it's never a good idea to use the first 2 as a barometer. Especially as the second being good was a wildly unlikely surprise.
