Surprisingly, the new one has been getting rave reviews.

Where did you watch it? I want my daughter to see it before we see Maverick.

That volleyball scene

Still can’t believe some people think it’s a gay movie

I watched Red Notice finally all the way through. Pretty bland really.

The Northman - utter tosh. Worst of all the deluge of Viking shows

Everything, Everywhere, All At Once

Huh

I got what was happening, but definitely lost track of the why early on.
I'm sure there's a really good story or message in there somewhere, I'll need the Dummies Guide though

Blade Runner 2049. Genuinely one of the dullest things I've ever watched.

I'm just watching this now, half hour in, and tempted to bin it. It's annoyingly chaotic and i'm sick of everyone having 4 random arguments allat the same time

But enough about Fred now

Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers

Great laugh with the little man, who enjoyed it.

Some great cameos from 80/90’s cartoon characters.

Here was me thinking a film starring Ethan Hawke, Nicole Kidman, Anna Taylor Joy, Bjork, William Dafoe and Finchy from the Office would be good.

Wrong.

Some decent bits, some nice violence, but a ultimately a messy, overlong Viking by the numbers film.

Jackass 4.5 - Better than the film that was released. The sushi skit had me retching.

Wag the Dog - A government "cleaner" is brought in to sort out a scandal with the president who is accused of diddling a girl scout. The plan is to get a Hollywood producer to create a fake war. It's far too close to home for a satire as Clinton did the same thing about a year after it was released.

The Lost City - Not bad, but looks like utter shit. All modern films look like a Netflix soulless production.

The Fugitive - early 90’s Harrison Ford masterclass. God damn it’s good

The Outpost

True story about a team of US soldiers defending a camp against loads of Taliban in Afghanistan.

Pretty decent tbf: very intense, heartbreaking when they show the pictures of the real dudes KIA at the end.

But all the way through, I was looking at this guy and thinking where do I know him from?



The name gave it away: Scott Eastwood. He really tries his best not to do his dad's voice but fails, because there are two kinds of people in this world my friend etc

Off to see Top Gun 2 tonight.

Can't bloody wait.

Will be emotional I'm sure, take me back to my days in the RAF...

Looks f***ing ace tbf.

One False Move - Following a series of drug deals and murders, three criminals travel from Los Angeles to Houston, arriving in a small Arkansas town to go into hiding. Two detectives on their trail hire local PD to help with the case. Very very good noir/crime thriller with a great lead from Bill Paxton.

Top Gun - The coolest yet gayest film of all time.

Top Gun: Maverick - Wow. Superb absolutely superb. I've not smiled during the runtime of a film like that in so long. Dropped tear a few times too. Tonally perfect and the action set pieces are some of the best you'll see at the cinema. See it at the IMAX if you can.

Top Gun: Maverick.

Masterpiece. Big grins throughout from start to finish.

Went to IMAX, screen size was great, but by Christ the seats were crap. Like old school skinny hard things, crammed in. Going for a second viewing at the one with interactive, moving seats. Can’t wait.

Gold on Amazon Prime. Zac Efron and another fella found some buried gold in the desert and tried to make a plan to excavate it and then I got bored and moved to Netflix look for something else.
