Nowadays I if they remade Terminator it'd probably be mandatory that they cast Dwayne Johnson.

At least you only have to watch 1 and 2, the new film picks up after 2 and ignores all of the other films

Missus has got really into Star Trek for some reason, we've been watching the 80s films.
The Wrath of Khan - pretty good.
The Search for Spock - not bad, but I didn't like Christopher Lloyd as the villain, I just can't take him seriously with his Doc Brown mannerisms.
The Voyage Home - something a bit different, almost like they took the regular cast and decided to make a fish out of water comedy. Enjoyable still. Although the whales storyline was extremely bizarre.

Talking of Dave Bautista me and mrs sat though 'Bushwick' on Netflix the other evening, started quite well but weak plot and iffy acting meant it went downhill fast. 3/10.

Went up to the ticket office and said 'two tickets for Yesterday and I want them today please'
He smiled as if that was the 847th time he had heard that.
Going through to the cinema and showed the usher my tickets he said 'these tickets are invalid they were for Yesterday'
Enjoyable wee film.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Loved it!
To be honest, it is a slow burner, there was a point where I was wondering where the film was going, but it certainly gets there in the end. DiCaprio is good, Pitt is superb. It’s a take on a true story, already has people talking about some of the “truthâ€, particularly around Bruce Lee, but since the film doesn’t actually reflect the true story, it’s fair to say the Bruce Lee segment is also not “trueâ€, but then who knows. At 160 minutes, it is a lengthy beast, best limit the beers before going in ðŸºðŸ˜„. Saw a few people walk out after a bit, they should have stayed, also worth staying for the credits 😉

WILD ROSE, staring Julie Walters, Jessie Buckley about a female Glasgow Country singer , just released from jail determined to get to Nashville.
Great film, great story line , funny , happy , sad tear jerking, lots of swearing, really entertaining especially if you like Country music.

Watched a mad film on Netflix last night - "Doomsday". Made in 2008, imagine Mad Max being made in Scotland. I know, classic. It gets better, well the idea does. Scotland has been ravaged by a killer virus and has been completely quarantined (told you it was good). London is threatened by the same virus so a hit team goes into Scotland to try and find the cure. It really is Mad Max beyond Thunderdome set in Glasgow. Bob Hoskins is his usual self, Malcolm McDowell is totally underused and some of the violence is just hilarious. It's entertaining blollocks but the idea of quarantining Scotland still makes me laugh now.

Watched Hunter Killer on netflix last night. Hunter Killer refers to the submarine class.
Good old fashioned no nonsense action film with a far fetched plot but with duelling submarines, coup d'etat, special forces rescues all under the cloud of imminent world war 3 what's not to like!, twas thoroughly absorbing and enjoyable, sheer escapism.
Gerard Butler as wooden as ever in the lead role but who cares.
8/10.

The Voyage Home is an absolute classic. Some of the lines are brilliant.

"Newww-cleee-errrr.... WESSELS."
Ah, gets me everytime.
Angel Has Fallen. More of the same and nothing wrong with that. It knows what it is about and it delivers.
I think Gerard may have reached the end of his running around and saving the world career. He is now going to have to follow Liam Neeson and save the world whilst walking.

Saw it at the weekend, was pretty disappointed tbh. Pitt and Di Caprio are easy to watch, but the story goes nowhere for the first hour and a half. Picks up towards the end, but even then, the ending leaves a funny taste, the killings are played for comedic value, which just feels wrong.
I'm a big fan of Tarantino, but thought this was just about the poorest of his films. Very self indulgent - we get that he loves Hollywood and 60s tv. Also there was a complete lack of any truly gripping scenes which is one his trademarks - thinking of the "under the floorboards" and the beer cellar scenes in IG, or the shootout in RV, or the gimp scene in PF for example.
4/10 for me.

Fair summary; the twist with the fallen refreshed it somewhat and the introduction of the new (old) characters helped. Never going to trouble the nominations committee, but did what it said on the tin.
