Wonder Woman - 3/10

 

I genuinely don't understand the hype about this film. It's no better than Man of Steel or Justice League and yet this is the franchise that's keeping DC afloat?

 

She's the first example of a heroic woman in modern cinema.

 

Except she isn't 

 

But you catch the drift. Get with the programme.

Small Time.

 

Not the Shane Meadows one. A US indie film, about a teenage lad who wants to live and work with his car salesman Dad instead of going to college, to the objection of his Mum and her new husband, who is essentially John Henry.

 

Slice of life stuff which, like its main subject, doesn’t try to overreach it’s modest charms and makes for a surprisingly enjoyable film, having just aimlessly picked something to lie on the sofa to while enduring a hangover.

 

Excellent performances from the guy playing the Dad and his partner. Well worth a watch.

Alien Convent.

 

‘Kinell.

 

Billy Coughdrop plays the most stupid character ever created, somehow Danny McBride doesn’t die 1st, Michael Fassenber plays a recorder & the Xenomorph fingers some lasses hoop.

I've not seen that one. Are there a lot of nuns in it?

Ready Player One 

 

Really enjoyed it. I took her and she hadn't read the book but she enjoyed it as much, if not more than me. It stayed close to the books as best it could and the characters both real world and Avatars became all very believable in their own right. Good effects, good story with some good nods to the 'pop culture' era it used to reference a lot from; the Shining scene being equally disturbing as it was funny. Give it a whirl pop pickers

 

8.5/10

Very good.

 

They still should have made the one with the Alien attacking the wooden monetary.

That was going to be Alien 3 wasn't it? For whatever reason they completely changed direction.

Saw a film a year or two back about it , with Nic Cage & Tom Sizemore in it. From memory it was ok but not fantastic.

Yes, looks disappointing. I think I'll swerve that one. Or better still, zig-zag my way around it.

I think from memory (I remember reading a feature on it in Empire) it was budget as they’d have had to build a full monastery as the set and that it was also a pretty out there idea at the time, especially on the back of Cameron’s balls out huge block buster of Aliens.

It was a wooden planet.

Three quarters of the way through Bullitt with Steve McQueen, the car chase scene is something quite special. Brilliant, stylish thriller from the late 60s. It's amazing that cars haven't really changed THAT much in the time. 8 car chases out of 10 (so far)

Toni Erdmann

 

Briliant and quirky German film on a father who reconnects with estranged daughter in the most extreme ways.

 

Nearly 3 hours long and quite slow going. Not for everyone, but I loved it.

 

The version I watched had forced subs for the German dialogue, but a lot of the film is actually in English.

 

9/10

Father figures. 4/10. Only a few funny moments and the entire film centres around the one joke "sorry lads yer ma was a bad Slag in the 70s". Owen Wilson still manages to get work despite playing Owen Wilson for the last 20 years. The neurotic dentist fella from the hangover manages to break character by playing a prostate doctor who is also uptight and neurotic.
