Frozen 2. Okay but no more. The songs were so theatre style, over the top really, compared to the best Disney films. Not a patch on Tangled or Moana but perfectly okay. They needed more Olaf and Sven, less Elsa and Anna .

I'm sure Disney will do a storm with merchandise but no Frozen 3 please.

(a combination of Vue low prices and Meerkat voucher meant that two of us went for £5. No real gamble at that price)

They did show a trailer for a new Dr Doolittle film coming out it February with Rober Downey Jr. That looked seriously good. The sort of film that used to go to Jonny Depp and he would ruin. Thankfully RDj has the role and it looked in safe hands.

The Benefits of having a 19 year old daughter who wanted to take her little sisters to see this meant I got to go sit in a coffee shop peacefully whilst they went to watch it. But even my 8 year old who was obsessed with the first Frozen has barely mentioned it so can't have been much more than ok..

But Moana on the other me and my youngest often watch that and sing along, and she tells her little school friends apparently daddy is like Maui with scruffy hair and tattoos?

jumanji; The Next Level. A level too far for me. Danny DeVito continues to make a living out of being an irritating pain in the ass. The highlight was looking at Karen Gillan.

Sadly the final scene appears to set up the next one. No, just no.

I enjoyed it mate, thought DeVito’s character was to be a pita, so played it well.
Not bad as sequels go, certainly not as bad as some we’ve watched.

The Black Tower on Netflix. Fantasy film, with some good names in it: Matthew McConaughey, Idris Elba. Not bad but not great, certainty ok for a Xmas warm-fire type movie.

The Irishman. Leave a 3 1/2 hour slot to watch it though.

THE WEE MAN, fact based film about Glasgow gang land feuds, staring Martin Compston as Paul Ferris. I found it interesting as it all happened quite near where i live

So painful how cheesy it is, how bad the acting is and how anyone can like it

Seemingly almost as bad as Debbie does Dallas

Almost as bad as Debbie does Dallas

At least that has some interesting scenes ?

Hotel Mumbai. ?????

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Knives Out. All very Agatha Christie and excellent for it. Really enjoyed it, great cast. Daniel Craig was on top form.

 

[USER1999]

Glass. Not convinced, although James Mcavoy was good.

A favourite of my daughter and my wife as it is soppy and was filmed in our locality - so also good bit of location spotting. I was in Godalming one day they were filming, and me and a work colleague found ourselves sharing a shop doorway with Jude Law - keeping out of the rain. He's a wee smout.

6 Underground, mindless violent action. Decent enough if you like Ryan Reynolds films. Michael Bay going totally OT on action and violence free of the studio system.

I thought it utter tosh...
And, that's being polite...

Can see where you are coming from. I was OK with it as background mindless action.

Still a terrible film though ?
