Luca - Oh, how I adore a Pixar release. I actually wasn’t 100% on this in the first ten minutes, as it felt like we were really thrown into things, almost like we were missing 5 minutes, but I got my bearings and enjoyed the ride from there. I loved how low stakes and a slice of childhood life it was. Great cast, gorgeous animation and colours and the character designs, whilst bold, don’t take you out of things. One I’ll be rewatching very soon.

What would you get if you were to take a 'John Wicks' film and give it a minimal budget & an addiction to crack-cocaine? You would have 'Nobody', the single GREATEST Piece. Of. S**t that I have ever had the *privilege* of seeing on the big-screen!
No words of a lie? If it were playing after 'In The Heights' on Sunday (after I took my mother to see it), I would happily watch it for a second time.

Hidden Figures. I'd seen it before but my friends had not. A very good film.

Ad Astra. It was .... contemplative. Yes, that’s what I’ll say to avoid using the phrase “so slow I literally fell asleep twice and still missed none of the plot”.

Thor (2011)
A lot better than I remember. And I think most of us can agree that Loki practically stole the show from his more famous brother.

The Comeback Trail [2020]
(Robert De Nero, Morgan Freeman and Tommy Lee Jones star this charming blend of The Producers [without the songs] and The Electric Cowboy. Failing Film Producer [De Nero] and Mob Boss Financier [Freeman] decide they can make more money from insurance if their lead has an "accident" and pick a fading suicidal Western Star [Lee Jones] to fill the role.)

In The Heights - 'Maybe a little long in places, but a perfectly pleasant way of spending a Sunday evening (for free) at the picture-house with your mother...

Reign of Fire (2002)
For what it is essentially a modern day B-Movie, this was very entertaining.

Fast & Furious 9, I was left speechless, this has to be the dumbest stupidest terribly scripted jump the shark ludicrous far fetched action movie i have ever seen
The movie contradicts itself with past movies story arcs & has become the Saint's Row 3 video game.
If you thought previous F & F were far fetched you haven't seen nothing to what this movie does, it's basically become a self aware spoof of the F & F franchise.
Utter nonsensical bafflegab of stupendous proportions, words literally fail me on how utterly ridiculous this movie is, this takes absurdity to the next level
Shane you need stop making these silly action movies & get back to playing Riddick.

Best one of franchise the others became sillier, this one has good characters, good acting decent action, shame the other movies went down the tongue & cheek route.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

A Day In Summer.
I’ve blogged about this movie before (https://stuffianlikes.home.blog/2021/01/20/a-book-ian-likes-a-day-in-summer-by-j-l-carr/ ) but I managed to get hold of a copy of it courtesy of a random act of kindness by some random person on the internet.
It’s a very slight story but it unfolds with increasing tension and pace before becoming ing quite gripping. It’s also densely written with an absolute ton of symbolism and character moments that make you go “ooh!” The cast are superb (Jack Shepherd and Peter Egan play the leads but the supporting cast includes John Sessions, Jill Bennet, Tom Chandon and Caroline John). It is quite brilliant.

Yup over inflated ego now your Hollywood star you've forgot your roots my friend, need stop the silly cars in space & ground the franchise with a bit reality. If you adapt the two Riddick games into movies all is forgiven HONK HONK

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Thought I’d revisit this again to give it another chance. But nope, it’s still a mess. The script really needed to be rewritten from the ground up in my opinion or at least given a few more drafts because barely anything in this works. And there are plot holes so large that they threaten to become a singularity.

Hollywood Bulldogs, a really good documentary about British stuntmen in the 70s & 80s.
