Films

Godzilla, better than I thought, actually tried to have a storyline behind the monsters fighting.
Great one for the kids and it looks like there are more in the pipeline. :unsure:
 
Rocketman 🤔🤔. I'm still trying to work it out. Far more downbeat than Bohemian Rhapsody it is more of an Elton John therapy session. He certainly puts the boot into a few people, his parents in particular.

Taron Edgerton was excellent, as was all of the cast. I just don't warm to Elton John and this film didn't change that view.

Did have a grudging admiration for his admission that he'd been a little "unpleasant" since 1975 and some of the end title stuff, but no, the film doesn't endear him to you, does it?
 
Last night I watched “the dirt” - it’s the story’s about motley crue. It was written by the actual band members and it’s amazing they lasted as long they did given the amount of drink and drugs they got through
 
After hearing a glowing review on Radio 5 last Friday I watched Thunder Road earlier.
The opening sequence o_O poetic and mesmerising, what a cracking film I can't recommend it highly enough.
 
X-Men, Dark Phoenix, good film, decent plot, good action, even showed a couple of new ways to kill baddies:eek:
Overall probably a 6-7 out of 10 for me.
 
Crazy Rich Asians. A real disappointment. I was expecting something over the top, laughs etc but it was pretty serious and fairly obvious. A couple of good characters but considering the hype when it came out it was a let down. Perhaps my expectations were wrong.

We watched it a few months ago, very formulaic but ever so slightly better than I was expecting :LOL:

Nutz, this has got good write ups and was edging towards my watch list

I was talking about it with my daughter. I was expecting it to be a comedy but she suggested it was really a Romcom with the emphasis on Rom more than com. If you go into it with a different perspective you may enjoy it more.
