Watched the Ghost Busters: Afterlife. Pretty good. I missed the iconic theme song.

44 in 28 minutes. Had to look up how to spell two of the names I knew and spent 20 minutes of my time to remember the name of the actor who had a small part in Home Alone.
After seeing the remaining 56 names I was angry with myself because there were at least 15 more I should have known.
I realised how few actors I can name. Seen a lot of these, can picture the face of several characters, don’t really know their names.
I got 17 in about 9 minutes, then gave up.

Anyone watched Spiderhead over on Netflix?
Thought I’d be very excited about this having worked within pharmaceuticals but this film is nothing to do with that…it’s basically a drug which you use on people in this “special prison” that makes people kill themselves & I don’t really know why.
Nonsensical is the best word for it.
It’s strange how people’s tastes differ! I don’t like either of those films, (though I haven’t watched them in probably 30 years). My favourite Coen brothers films are Fargo, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Burn After Reading 
Been advised to watch Cloud Atlas
… with Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess and lots more…
Apparently it is now 10yrs old but it was an exceptional film way ahead of its time…

Read the book!
I avoided the film after loving the book because it sounded like they’d made a mess of it. When you read it, it seems unfilmable. If it was done now, they’d make a tv series of it, which would probably be better.
Enjoyed that, killed half an hour.
Managed to get 55 in the end.
Only ones I didn’t get that I did know were
Tommy Conlon - Warrior (2011)
Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson - The Wrestler (2008)
Peter Taylor - The Damned United (2009)
Cal Naughton Jr. - Talladega Nights (2006)
Adonis Johnson/Creed - Creed (2015)

Between throwing in random guesses and being a bit of a film dork I managed to get 78 out of 100.

Robert Pattinson’s Batman definitely had a ‘Crow’ vibe going on, which is no bad thing. Very cool film, if you like your superheroes to pull dark and unhinged shapes. I do.
Nice to see St George’s Hall relocated to Gotham City!

White Elephant.
Super cast but a pile of white trash.
I really enjoyed it, but it’s definitely a bit of a strange one.

No Country For Old Men (2007)
9/10
No fancy special effects, no CGI, no music, just pure talent from the director to the actors. Javier Bardem is brilliantly brutal in this one. One of the best noir films ever.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
5/10
I never liked Sam Raimi but I gave this one a chance since I enjoyed the first Doctor Strange.
The beginning of the movie escalates quicker than I expected which was enjoyable and then my fears about this director along with Disney came true…
Spoilers
Sam Raimi never fails with his attempts at introducing unrealistic horror and just plain silly sh*t…
- When Strange possesses that corpse reminded me of Michael Jackson’s Thrilller music video. It was just laughable especially when he’s motivating America in that form.
- The scene where they were flinging musical notes at each other
- The illuminati and female vs female fight convenience
Catch the Fair One with Kali Reis…
Apparently her performance in this won her the part to play alongside Jodie Foster in True Detective 4

Cumberbach is cringeworthy in it throughout. From his accent to weird over acting when trying to demonstrate the toughness of doing things with his mind. It was real Smell the Fart acting, but I think it’s just a reflection of how dumb the film is as Rachel McAdams was just as bad.

I just finished watching RRR on Netflix. All I can say is WOW.
3 hours of pure unabashed truely epic action buddy movie joy with some banghra singing and dancing thrown in for good measure…
And tigers. Lots of tigers.
(apologies it is probably not literally banghra - wrong part of India I think but best uneducated description I could offer)
(Oh, and WOW again. Just WOW)
It’s not bhangra. It’s just Telugu film dancing.
Decent enough movie though if you can suspend your disbelief and treat it as a fantasy superhero movie
