I watched the Inbetweeners movie (again) last night. It always makes me laugh and reminds me of my early days in the navy and "runs ashore" in foreign ports.

My daughter has just come back from Cats. "It was bad dad, so bad. Hard to describe, just bad"

Anyone seen it on the stage? How did that work and this bomb so badly? I don't believe they have changed much so why do theatre people like it but film followers not?

Stage show is superb - Cats was always going to be a hard move across to films because it’s strange on the stage show so I’m not surprised people won’t be fans of it

But the CGI has fallen flat in a big way which hasn’t helped.

Star Wars; The Rise of Skywalker. Mrs BiM, who is the family Star Wars fan, says it's brilliant, it was a nice touch to bring the old characters in & it tied everything up nicely.

BiM, who is not a fan of the franchise & was dragged along somewhat reluctantly, says it is a spectacular piece of cinematography & special effects and is an okay watch as a story in its own right if you don't know the rest of the story from the other films.

The Gentlemen; typical Guy Richie fare and none the worse for it. Hugh Grant actually plays something far removed from the English upper class twit that he normally does, and does it brilliantly, as do all the main players, and the truth about Croydon is finally revealed ;). A word or warning; if you don't like the gynaecological swearword, give it a miss.

Mrs BiM said it was alright... :ROFLMAO:

JoJo Rabbit; do yourself a favour, buy 2 tickets and given to someone you dislike intensely. That way, you can do something useful for 2 hours and derive further satisfaction knowing that someone else is suffering the steaming pile of :poop: that you would otherwise have been watching.

You're welcome.

Van Helsing, bloody brilliant film that bombed at the box office because it was released the weekend of the twin towers getting flattened.
Just watched it again today and it's still a great watch

Saw it Saturday evening, thought it was really good. Hugh Grant is fantastic, as is Colin Farrell, well worth a watch.

From the of it that I've seen the CGI of the actors/cats just makes the cats look weirdly spooky - alien-like rather than cat-like. And as one reviewer mentions, the cats are often going around with their tails ram-rod straight up in the air - and that looks - erm - suggestive? Apart from that it sounds like the majority of the film is a series of songs introducing each of the main cats - around which nothing much then happens. And some cats wear clothes and others don't. Either cats do or they don't you might imagine. Not enticed by it - though maybe out of a morbid curiosity...

However 1917 looks quite a different kettle of fish...

My son treat me to the new Star wars film last night in 3D at The Imax. I haven't seen any other the newer films - Return of the Jedi was the last one but I really, really enjoyed it. The effects were amazing, i thought the story line was decent, well acted and the sound was unbelievable especially in the Imax. 9 popcorns out of 10.
