Ghostbuster - Frozen Empire.
Fuck me. Just stop. Afterlife wasn't great. It wasn't 'bad' but nothing worth repeated views or having much charm. This is tedious
Basically the new Ghostbusters have moved to New York to be the old Ghostbusters and live in the old building and bust ghosts. This is fine but they keep causing property damage and the fall foul of the memberberries guy from the 1984 film who tells them the 15 year old girl can't be a ghostbuster as she's too young. Instead she becomes a teenage lesbian that meets a lesbian ghost as this will enable a pivotal plot moment.
Elwood Blues now collects pyschic items and one day some shifty bloke sells him a mcguffin that is full of ecto readings....luckily for the film the old contaimnent unit is full so Ray Zedmore who is now Bill Gates has built a new mega ghost unit that can extract ghosts from possessed items and all sorts of things (apart from this one tricky ghost called a possessor which jumps from item to item so quickly you can't get it.....whatever.....but will be used a plot driver later). The mcguffin get taken the new ghost extraction unit except it's really a ghost prison for a VERY BAD ghost. Luckily disgusting twitter user Oswald Patten is in the film to tell us the evil thing's bad story and also the story of another individual that can defeat the evil. Cue late stage arrival of Bill Murray who literally defines phoning it in and you've got all the ingredient for SHITE. There's also a massive glut of other side character that have been perhaps chucked in so there's a teenage black girl ghostbuster etc.
Most overwhelmingly the film is just DULL. Nothing much happens and it's all build, build, build and then thank goodness for teenage lesbians. Apparently the film is going ok at the box office but it's the sort of thing people are going to see because it's the kids holiday. I doubt they'll get another movie.
The only thing that left me amazed was how good Winston looked after 40 fucking years. Black don't crack.

I'll probably take my boys to see it when it appears on the local independent cinema; for £30 you'll get 3 tickets, a couple of drinks each and 3 large cartons of popcorn... far cheaper than Vue or Cineworld!

The Gentleman TV series 2024
When aristocratic Eddie inherits the family estate, he discovers that it's home to a huge weed empire, and its proprietors aren't going anywhere.
I have never been a fan of Guy Ritchie. When he said, of one of his early successes "it is a caper movie" I saw right through him.
Meaningless silly dialogue. All the 'go to' stereotypes. Wintstone 'phoning it in. Vinnie Jones (and not acting remotely). Gus Fring's twin brother.
A glossy production but lazy writing and casting. Obviously aimed at 15 year olds.
-5/10
No tits.

Homefront (2013)
A former DEA agent moves his family to a quiet town, where he soon tangles with a local meth druglord.
Confession time. I quite like Jason Statham films.
When I saw that Stalone was involved in the opening credits, my heart sunk a little. No surprises really as the film unfolded. Nothing we haven't seen before.
The lovely Kate Bosworth and Winona Ryder were in it but alas, no tits.
Deserves no better than a basic 5/10.

Monkeyman (2024)
Indian Pecco Bagnaia is Indian John Wick in a fast and frantic and culturally confusing revenge action flick. Plotwise there's not too much to unravel - Pecco wants revenge on Indian Julian Ryder for killing his mother in some corrupt police indian religious land grab. Luckily for Pecco he's also a backroom bareknucle fighter who wears a monkey mask so he's got a crack at revenge once he's wormed his way into the corrupt highlife as a waiter in a high end sex club place. Anyway things don't quite go Pecco's way and after one of those left for dead momemnts he's rescued by a sect of what I believe were indian religious transexuals....The transexuals help Pecco back to his fighting ways by training him to Indian drum patterns so he is truly ready to get revenge, not just on Julian Ryder but also Julian Ryder's boss who is behind all the land grabs.
If you like people being beaten to death with shoes and various creative ways of stabbing this is probably the film for you! Tbh I wasn't really bored at any point but maybe the social message was a bit lost on me as I don't understand the nuances of the Indian social structure.
8/10 brief tits and lots of violence.

Are we talking "Indian" as in from the Asian subcontinent, or "Indian" as in Native American? |

Indian as in Royal Enfield. American indians are useless.

Anatomy of a Fall.
French multi-award winning film. A courtroom thriller (in theory), nicely filmed and produced with good acting by the unknown (to me at least) cast.
The problem with films like this is that the awards and nominations elevate the expectation to what is potentially an unobtainable level of viewer satisfaction. And that's what happened to me, I was expecting the dramitic crescendo or twist all the way through, but it just didn't happen. The plot just "ended" with the film in too much of an ordinary way.
Nothing terrible about it, just nothing great either.
No tits.
6/10

Not seen that one. I have to be in the right mood to watch subtitled stuff. Monkeyman was mostly in English.
My lad saw the Godzilla film and said it was ok but I'm not taking his word on that.

Civil War (2024)
What is this film? Is it a road movie, a war film, a cautionary tale, a character study or a load of wank? I can report back, that imo it's very good and apart the wank is perhaps a bit of all of that. It's also quite clever in that it never seeks to explain anything really about the war, why there is one or barely anything. There is just a civil war and we are near the end of it and a jaded photographer and gung-ho reporter want to get to DC to interview the standing president before he gets a cap in his ass. The only fly in the ointment are a fat old reporter who insists on coming along and young and clueless young photographer who thinks she wants to become like her hero and also blags a ride.
There then follows a 1000 mile road trip to get to DC before the opposing forces smoke the pres, meanwhile trying to cover any action they come across. This is where the genius of the film comes in. The leftists have been very disappointed with his film as they were led to believe it was some sort of 'orange man bad' scenario but it's nothing of the sort. You don't really know anything of the sides and sometimes have no actual idea who is fighting who, never mind why anyone has decided the pick sides. It's just war, man.
I won't spoil anything but the whole thing has a kind of apocalypse now going further up the river feel to it as it gets madder and madder the near the goal they get. The action isn't non-stop and is actually used quite sparringly but when it comes in.....BANG..this brutal stuff, proper visceral feel to it, some of the best war action I've seen in a film. After all the seriousness, the ending is almost comic but maybe that's also the point.
Recommended 9/10 no tits but amazing cinematography.

Immaculate (2024). This is so boring I can't be bothered to explain it. Basically bird with big tits becomes a nun and somehow becomes pregnant. All the other nuns seem odd and everything is a bit cultish. What could he going on?
The story drags along, not much happens, it's classed as a horror but it's barely one. The big twist is crap and I don't think sweeney even gets her tits out. Some other bird does .
2/10 do not waste your time

Boy kills world (2024). Another based on a comic book thing that is basically John wick but trying to quirky and funny. Basically child witnesses family killed by dictator...grows into boy under the teaching of a shamen martial arts master. His sole aim is to get revenge. He's also deaf and dumb.
Expect lots of jumping about , killing people with kitchen implements and guns.
Ultimately it's the equivalent of a student talking too loudly in the pub about what movies he thinks are cool.
5/10, no tits.
