To your first question, which I don't think is a spoiler, given that it was introduced in previous films and is part of the structure of the in-movie universe... I think it's a little murky as what suits the films' and TV show's needs at a given time. The sense I've currently got is that it...

Went to see Abigail this evening. Not sure how to sum up the story without spoiling it (though the trailer does, anyway). So I guess I'll go with... it's about a group of people who kidnap a someone (played by Matilda the Musical's Alisha Weir), and take her to a large house to hold her hostage...

I went to see Monkey Man yesterday. I was expecting something more relentlessly violent, in the vein of John Wick or the Raid. Perhaps if there is a sequel it will go in that directiong, but this had a lot of 'down' time where we are seeing Dev Patel's 'Bobby' (a false name he adopts for...

I watched Civil War last night. I thought it was really good. I had seen some comments about how intense it is, as if it had a constant sense of on edge. I didn't feel it throughout, there was plenty of room to breathe, but it did have some quite tense moments.

I think I've got the wrong film https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/detail/B0B5YRDLSJ/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r

I wsn't a big fan of Joker. Not really a fan of Taxi Driver and it was largely a tribute to that. Though I did recently watch and enjoyed King of Comedy, which was the other main film people compared it to, so maybe I'll give it another try. Anyway, the news the sequel would be a musical piqued...

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire American Godzilla movies are generally never considered as good as the Japanese ones. In my opinion, this is because they are treated as monster movies. They are sold on seeing the monster and the destruction it leaves in its path. Because of that there is less...

Surprisingly appropriate double-bill today. Drive-Away Dolls - Two women go on a roadtrip after one of them breaks up with a girlfriend, and the other decides she wants to go back home to Tallahassee. They pair up and get a drive-away car (one way car rental that delivers the car to a...

I've seen some terrible films in my time, so I feel like there are a lot of films people describe as 'awful', 'terrible', one of the 'worst ever made', and they're not even close to that bad. The 2016 Ghostbusters falls into that category for me. It is clearly a couple of levels below the...

Today, I have mostly been watching... Ghostbusters. I watched the first four at home, then went to see the latest one, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire at the cinema. I'm not sure I liked it that much, and I'm not currently sure whether it is because I was ghostbustersed out at that point, or if it...

Also, teaser trailer for Beetlejuice 2

No, getting to and from an imax screen during the week is not particularly easy for me, and even at weekends would be an effort I'd need to really love the film for, and I remember a slight disappointment with part one's cut point, giving an unsatisfying feeling. I could do screen X at the...

They made the first one without confirming a second part (at least publicly) until after the last had been released. There was supposedly no guarantee that we would have got part two. I say this to set up this link, which is equally suggesting, there may not be a part 3...

Matthew Vaughn announced he was working on a second movie which would be a prequel 'based on the first book in the [in-movie] book series' it was a tease for that. Henry Cavil and Sam Rockwell have not yet commited to the film and have said it will depend on audience reaction. So it seems that...

Saw The Iron Claw today. As a wrestling fan, I was somewhat familiar with the Von Erichs story, which probably didn't help (what about the other brother? Why do they make it seem like those two things happened on the same night when they were years apart? How can someone do such a bad impression...

I went to see Argylle this evening. I thought the trailer made this look like it would be quite fun. It was not. I mean, I didn't hate it, but there is a long boring bit in the middle, and with a lot of scenes you can kinda see how what they were going for might have been silly fun, but for...

My annual push to watch nominated movies in a selection of categories (acting, writing, music, directing and film) continued with a doublebill at the Komedia. First up was American Fiction, in which Jeffrey Wright plays a snobby writer who jokingly pens a trashy 'black' novel playing into...

To celebrate today's win and keep the good times going, I went to the cinema to watch The Zone of Interest. (If you know about the film, you'll realise my comment about good times was a joke - it follows the family of the commandant of Aushwitz and his family's life next to the camp). Eh. I can...

I've had a very slow start to the year with regard to cinemea visits. Finally made it for a double bill of musical movies based on stage show versions of old movies I've not seen. First up was Mean Girls. Eh. Either so many of the actors sang with weak voices, or there was a choice made to...

I love a good superhero movie, and can usually enjoy the bad ones (though my tolerance of the bad ones has reduced now we get so many and it's clear how good they can be), I keep up with all the Disney+ series etc. I don't think they are going away (especially since Marvel Studios exists mainly...
