They are now talking about Emma instead. I can see me falling down a bored spiral of IPA during this one.....ha.
It isn’t called that, but it should be .
Edit: perhaps a tad harsh. I did like Duke Caboom as well - perfectly 1970s .

I just hope they aren’t tempted to make it the first in a new trilogy...

The most implausible movie I’ve seen for a long while. Everything falls into place at just the right moment throughout the movie, things just happen to be there at the right moment. And don’t get me started on 200 year old ropes still being in tact and strong enough to support the weight of over half a dozen people. Then there’s the 200 year old torches that just happen to be in just the right place at the right time AND the fuel in them hasn’t evaporated and dried up over the last two centuries.

The only one of the reboot series I hadn’t seen. The first one I think is really good, the second one isn’t awful it just isn’t as interesting.
Excellent, really good. Enjoyed it a lot. Daniel Craig is superb as well
A 2007 action thriller about a retired sniper who's set up as the fall guy for the assassination of a foreign leader.
Some well known names including Mark Walbergh and Danny Glover.
It was pretty good to be fair, a bit flag waving in places, not terribly violent or sweary - it had it's moments but on the whole it was quite restrained.
Not sure I would have cast Mark Walbergh as the lead, I think there would have been far better actors to play that role but he did a convincing job of it in the only way Walbergh knows how to.
The scene in which the bad guys are trying to fake the suicide of Michael Peña was quite disturbing, not in a visual sense but it made me feel sick to my stomach just knowing it's possible and there are people trained to do that kind of thing.
The plot wasn't bad either and it moved along at a fast enough pace to keep the viewer engaged.
7/10

I saw a brief snippet of that and it would make the whole thing unwatchable for me as well. Just laughably bad.

The books are pretty good, but as they went on they seemed to turn more and more into firearms porn and I gave up on them.
I see there's also a Shooter TV series with Ryan Philippe.
I think Neil LaBute probably was trying to be revisionist in his Wicker Man remake, but he had absolutely no idea what he was doing. That said, I like it for its sheer awfulness!
Midway = ok
Zombieland 2 = good, I enjoyed it as much as the first but weak ending.
Rocket man = As I’m newly out about my sexuality this was a fantastic camp fest that appealed to me as well as the darker sides to Elton’s mental health resonating with me.
Nic Cage is such a strange actor. So many people hate him or just take the piss out of him, but I think he can be amazing. He can be almost comatose in an action role, then completely demented playing a supposedly regular guy. He elevated Con Air by playing a lovable doofus who's somehow also a convincing action hero. He's starred in just about the only two rom-coms I've ever liked - Honeymoon In Vegas and It Could Happen To You. He's made a lot of terrible films - and been terrible in a lot of films - but there's just something about the guy.
No decision on FrightFest this year, I suspect it won't happen because even if things are starting to get back to normal their process of finding films to show will have been severely curtailed. And as my brother said, by the end of August will we actually feel comfortable sitting in a cinema with 700-odd people?
Maybe it'll be back for the Halloween day, then return to full force next year.
