No tits (but, call me sad if you will, Scarlett Johansson doesn't have to get them out to give me a semi). A girl that I used to work with once asked me what I would do if I won £1M and, without missing a beat I said, "Scarlett Johansson!" |

Also been doing a bit of flying. Not actually watched that many films as there's a fucking bar in business class.
Kneecap.
Kind of biography about the beginnings of the rap band from Belfast. It's just brilliant. Laugh out loud funny and quite brutal in places. Not sure how much is true but it's a great movie.
8/10, no tits

Terrifier 3 (2024)
Now horror films and gore do go together sometimes. Not all the time but some of the time.
Imagine if you will, a horror film that is just gore, gore, gore, gore, gore and more gore. That is what you have here. The plot is pointless to even get into as it's just an excuse for gore and some more gore. In the 1980s this would have been a notorious banned video. At this point in time it just feels empty and pointless. This was an utter waste of 2 hours.
0/10 for taking 'horror' and reducing it smashing body parts to pieces and not much else.

Gladiator 2 (2024)
I'll get to the point. It's mediocre.
My reasoning is such..
The original had a very focused organic feeling revenge plot and that revenge felt like it had some real weight, mainly due to Crowe looking and acting the part of a hardened soldier with one thing on his mind. This sequel feels diluted and the Mescal feels like a beta male with good physique not a hard cunt like Crowe portrayed.
The whole 'revenge' setup that Mescal now has feels a bit forced and the bad guy Pascal isn't really a bad guy he's just following orders. Denzel is there to run a sub plot because the revenge plot won't carry the movie on its own. The twin emperor's are just there to be obvious villains and homosexuals. Denzel also continually hints at being a homosexual but only in an easily cut for different world audiences way.
Action is questionable due to the use of atrocious CGI. The baboons are something else and the sharks in the colosseum are also terrible.
I just thought the whole thing didn't feel very cinematic and it felt more like big budget TV series.
It wasn't bad just not great. Another sequel that didn't need making.
6/10 can't remember seeing tits.

Right, I'll start with the BAD!!
Megalopolis (2024) FRANCIS FUCKING FORD COPPOLA. (remember that bit)
The year is who knows what, it's one of those looks like 50s but people have modern tech sort of things, Kylo Ren has invented Megalon, a substance than can literally do anything....Kylo Ren wants to redevelop what is sort of New York into his vision of utopia but is being battled by the town mayor, Gustavo Fring. Kylo is a bit of ladies man is shagging the local reporter and also the mayor's daughter. The film also features deranged performances from Ratso and Big John Buck and a few others like the barely recognisable Shia LeBEEF. What follows is essentially a film about politics in which comparisons of roman empire are being drawn.......
Most of the film is conducted in a bizarre theatrically stilted manner, the dialogue is so appalling I'm not sure how would even act it. Everyone basically said fuck it and it just did their wildest nonsense as there's no grounding for actually acting normally as nobody seems to be normal. I was willing to turn a blind eye to all this if it was some aesthetic masterpiece....but it looks like it was made for the sci-fi or FX channel in the early 2000s. Fuck knows what this fucker spent £120m on.
It's sort of worth seeing just to wonder what the fuck the director was thinking. Truly the biggest fuckup of a film since Heaven's gate.
Oh yeah, Kylo Ren can also freeze time for some reason....

The good!
Juror #2 (2024)
Can't tell you too much about this one without spoiling it but a nice, cleancut man whose wife is about to give birth gets called up for jury service and faces the possibility of having to jail a man he knows is innocent.
CLint Eastwood directed this one I think and it's simply a good movie. The story is very simple but the deliberations behind it are not. Could you send an innocent man to jail to maybe benefit yourself? What if that defendant was normally a shitbag and probably should do time anyway?
Solid acting from all involved, no special effects, just pure story telling.
9/10 No tits.

Tried watching Adventureland last weekend (Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen "I can't close my mouth" Stewart and Ryan Reynolds) and I could only watch about of it! There were a couple of funny bits, but then the humour started to feel forced and repetitive.
From what I saw, I'd give it 4/10. No tits in the 30 mins that I watched.

Smile (2022)
After witnessing a bizarre, traumatic incident involving a patient, a psychiatrist becomes increasingly convinced she is being threatened by an uncanny entity.
You could probably say it has been done before, but this was a pretty decent offering. 2 is out soon and I will keep an eye out for it.
7.5/10
No tits.

Smile 2 has been out for weeks Eddie. I didn't rate it but I didn't like Smile either.
