Lady Bird

US angst

(Edit) 10/02/2019

Not really engaging, probably as has US basis. Bit like Hollyoaks with better weather. Is probably quite well acted etc in fact, but just like some entertainment with the kitchen sink etc.

Parker

Jason jumps about.

(Edit) 10/02/2019

Very similar to other films of the ilk. Super tough guy beats all, but at least Jason is actually fit and up for it, doesn't F and Blind every 2 mins, and is fairly entertaining.

Tag

Boys game.

(Edit) 08/02/2019

Been done so many times, or similar, but is quite fun, and nice to see all the guys at the end of film.

American Animals

Crime did not pay

(Edit) 07/02/2019

Quite bizarre having the actual 4 guys in amongst the story telling.........could almost had them do the film anyway?

Good example of how the American dream can back fire.

Logan Lucky

Dan goes red neck

(Edit) 07/02/2019

Strange film for Craig. He looks tiny when get amongst the fast food boys in States. Not a film to light up the awards boards for certain.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again

A good bank balance was had by all.

(Edit) 07/02/2019

Lot of cash spread about in this one. Somehow they even got Streep back in for a few minutes, for a few mill. Almost embarrassingly cringeworthy in places.

If like the first one, and singing, will love it. Otherwise...........will not

The Back-Up Plan

Come back Tom Hanks

(Edit) 30/01/2019

Girls will love it and guys will roll eyes. Maid in Manhattan was at least sensible. Very bland and predictable fluffy film. that will be enjoyed by many.

Novocaine

Dentist with brain in backwards

(Edit) 22/01/2019

Have to ignore film is about a dentist who is very stupid. All dentists I have ever met are highly intelligent, and on the ball. That aside Steve messes up big time for patient even thinner than his girl friend. Passes 90 minutes in jovial fashion.

The Equalizer 2

Denzel makes it a 3, just

(Edit) 20/01/2019

Quite a bit removed from the first one, which was slightly understated, and credible. This one degenerates a bit, with too many extra characters and problems messing the main line. Almost moving into Marvel territory. Perhaps they wanted to spread the money into a bit of a charity benefit for elderly actors?

First film a bit like Leon/Ronin, and second more Segal/Van Damme .

Arrival

Slowly sci-fi

(Edit) 19/01/2019

Odd one, as seems like quite a cheap film for a sci-fi. Close encounters, without the keyboard? Bit slow and boring, but fairly novel. Naturally they all want to blow aliens up, especially the poorly monitored redneck erks. Good move...........someone turns up in 12 massive vessels, obviously with colossal intelligence compared to us...........so you grab your auto rifle, and some bigger kit, and shoot it up. No way, then, they could possibly have anything of mind bending destructive power that would just vapourise the entire planet?

Is worse scenario than Brexit!

Shopgirl

Steve and Keith Moon?

(Edit) 18/01/2019

Actually a missed film. Quite a good little lesson in relationships to be fair. The kid looks so much like Keith Moon!! Washes about the same amount, but does improve as the film goes on.............

The Party

Never before have so many names wasted so much electricity

(Edit) 16/01/2019

So boring, and waste of time we never finished watching it. Tim just looks vacant all the time, the cameras keep wobbling as well, so looks like a school play rather than top actors doing the biz.

Bringing Down the House

Bit of fun.

(Edit) 16/01/2019

Yes it is pretty banal stuff, but Queen L is big and bold, and Steve is Steve. Romps along in a fairly jolly fashion.

Mission: Impossible: Fallout

Financial mission accomplished.

(Edit) 14/12/2018

Same as so many other films. Few extra mill for Tom. He can run well. As he is so short it looks like he really shifting. How many more can he churn out i wonder?

Hopefully Bruce will come up with something more original as gets older. He can act, but the lure of the easy bish bash bosh is just too much for them all.

Practically all the films now are just takes on a theme, with masses of PC effects throughout...........in fact the content is so great sometimes that may as well just go animated. The PC games are nearly there!

Tomb Raider

Runs well.

(Edit) 13/12/2018

Agree with most of the other reviews really. Raiders of Lost Ark/Mummy/Onwards..........the tombs-with-boobyotraps are a bit of fun.........but predictable.

Acting and dialogue a bit Enid Blyton. Can watch it through OK at home, but would not want to pay cinema prices and car park fees for sure.
