We watched Ticket to Paradise last night - Clooney and Roberts doing a buddies-in-Bali rom-com Hmmm. A bit of rom not a great deal com. And watching it I couldn’t help but think I didn’t see or recognise any of Bali, indeed the locations confused me as they weren’t consistent with the Bali I know (limited though that is) and looked more like somewhere like…oh I dunno…Queensland. And that‘s cos they were . That said I suppose it was quite short, gently amusing, and it was nice to look at - as Queensland is.

One thing that really bugged us though was the sound.

We really struggled to hear some of the dialogue, often being muffled, quiet and unintelligible. I was thinking it might be our soundbar not being up to the job for our new much larger living space, but reading some reviews on IMDB it seems it was the film and not us.

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, great movie.

If you’ve not seen it,give RocknRolla a watch.
Guy Richie film.

Asteroid City, absolutely loved it

MI7 Pretty much as you would expect. But as usual it delivers on the action and entertainment

Oppenheime, loved it. Thought it was very very good indeed.

 

[Beezerk]

How To Blow Up A Pipeline, never heard of it until a Google search earlier, well worth a watch.

Swept Away, a 2002 comedy romance starring Madonna, Similar to Overboard, corny, silly and not PC but funny in parts.

It Is In Us All. Probably up there in my top 5 of utter poop I've sat through. Not even sure why I stuck with it - couldn't be bothered to find something else I suppose.

Awful.

On the flipside, had a couple of hours to kill before tennis this afternoon so watched Bros. Loved it.

Another vote for Oppenheimer. Really good.

Before I went, was worried on 2 counts - a) it's quite long, and b) that Cillian Murphy wouldn't carry it off. Needn't have worried on either score. Really interesting throughout, and he nailed it.

And by the by, even though it was a Monday afternoon (midweek, mid-afternoon being our preferred time), its the first time in years that I've actually seen the cinema busy ...

Extraction 2. Nonsense, but fun nonsense.

Sat through 3 hours of Babylon on Saturday night, I am still trying to work out what it was all about.

Just done the same. Very odd film. I guess it might have been trying to be arty, but I do feel that some of the scenes were extreme for the sake of being extreme. And I'm not a prude by any means.

Saw the adverts for it Premiering on Sky Movies and it looked really good, enticing you to watch but I felt there was just no story to it at all.

John Wick 4. Pretty much the same as the others. Good brain out fun, but at least half an hour too long!

That bit near the end where he made it 90% up the staircase only to get kicked back down to the bottom was like a metaphor for the entire film itself.

The deepest breath. Netflix.
Documentary on free diving.
They’re not wired up right

Following a family recommendation I watched Bird Box last night.
If you like A Silent Place you will probably like this.
