I might go and see Karen Gillan in short shorts *ahem* I mean Jumanji
Not bad, but not quite worthy of the 10/10 reviews it's been getting - I would give it about 8. Too many little niggles for it to be any higher, and at least one big one.

New Jumanji - 7/10, ruined by typical romance bit.
The greatest showman - 9.5/10. The critics are so wrong about this. Absolutely loved it.

a stonking 10/10 from me
Just finished watching it and it's 1:10am. I was glued to the screen. Absolutely brilliant, possibly a cult classic - 9/10.

It’s a take on the cop paired with partner from another race and them dealing with their differences to save the day. But the twist is it’s a world where humans coexist with Elves (who are generally rich, intelligent, and powerful) and Orcs (who are portrayed as less intelligent, physically strong, and publicly hated for historical reasons).
Once you realise it’s not trying to explain absolutely everything that happens credibly it’s enjoyable. I mean the everything wrong with YT guy could fill a long episode about it, it’s quite a basic story and some of the significant parts were a little rushed, but personally I thought it was a fun watch overall. Felt very late 90s/early 00’s to me.
Film gets a 6.5/10 from me, 9/10 from my son. The cinema gets a 9.5/10. Reclining seats and loadsa legroom.
9/10
It's new.
I hadn't heard of it, but I've seen it now.
Comedy about celebrity girls set in New Orleans.
Adult humour.
Pretty impressed with it, and the CGI is naturally outstanding - I'd say 8/10.
In lieu of that I watched the iPlayer documentary about The Proclaimers instead. Reasonably interesting, various people involved who I wouldn't have guessed were anything to do with the twins. Spent some of it trying to decide if I still fancy KT Tunstall.
MrsTheWeary was watching the Wizard of Oz yesterday. I've never seen it all the way through although I've seen lots of bits. I'm not sure I feel drawn to it's very stylised look.
First - it's visually stunning, as in OMG jaw-dropping cinematography. If you like movies where the texture of the scenery, the shot composition and lighting create an almost non-stop series of masterpiece paintings, you'll love this. The only movie I've seen that's made me wish we had a 50-inch 4k screen.
Then there's the soundtrack. It manages to alternate between impossibly beautiful choral music and thumping dance tunes without ever jarring. It's the sort of soundtrack that has you scurrying off to IMDB to find out more.
It leaves you guessing, too. It's meaning is not laid out on a plate, many things still puzzle me. Significant things happen without further comment. The dialog, too, is sometimes quick, complex and hard to follow (at least via the subtitles). Some things are fantasy, or exaggerations. Parts of it are surreal. Especially Rome itself, as they somehow shot the movie without the hoards of real people and tourists getting in the way. So it really does feel like a gorgeous playground for the super-wealthy, Berlusconis and mafia to enjoy.
We will have to watch it again, because we had to follow the subtitles so closely that there was hardly enough time to savour its sheer beauty.
I can't wait. It's that good. 10/10
