Just in case people haven't seen it DON'T LOOK UP has nothing to do with asteroids! 6.5 /10... Has its moments.

I disagreed with the obvious political agenda and eco-lunacy of this one, but if you can look past this it's actually an OK film and worth watching for Rylance's Elon Musk caricature...

The Strays.

Hmm. Takes a dark turn, and then another dark turn.

Proper movie length at 1h 37m.

7/10, maybe a bit more.

I watched it last night. The feeling of vertigo disappeared quite quickly for me, and then it just became a bit silly.
I watched until they fired the flare.
Boring.
Decided to watch it until the end.
Entertaining enough I suppose.

I also watched Fall over the weekend, spent most of it with my hands loosely covering my eyes hehe

I’m not a fan of heights so it was a very uncomfortable watch but entertaining nevertheless, worth a watch. Crazy to think people do that sort of stuff, there isn’t enough money in the world that would make me do a climb like that.

Same the feeling of your about to fall off stayed with me the whole time. They had to re edit whole film to remove f word to get a pg rating in the US and it was filmed mostly on a hill with a 30 meter tower

Anatomy of a Scandal.

Pretty good, albeit based on a fairly ludicrous plot device.

This ^^^ is fair. She was well-cast. There wasn’t much else going on.

Watched Three Day Millionaire, didn't really rate it.

Started watching "how it ends" which was OK, but was getting late so stopped and looked up the synopsis on Wikipedia. Won't bother finishing it off:....

On the basis that it doesn't actually say how it ends, or even how it started, was just like a fairly pointless road trip!

Not a recommendation but more of a recent Netflix bugbear. More and more I seem to be clicking on the down arrow for more info on a film and there is nothing - not even a one liner. So I have to browse with Wiki open as well just to see what the film is about.

The UI is different for every device. Which is equally frustrating.

Chris Rock - Selective Outrage

New stand up show from Chris.

I was looking forward to this, however most of it fell a bit flat to me.

There was a few of decent jokes/observations but nothing that made me laugh out loud.

I don't know if I've been spoiled by the quality of Dave Chappelle's stand up specials or Rock has lost his touch compared to his earlier work.

There was a pretty dark joke about abortion which got more unfunny as it went on.

He finishes with his take on the Will Smith slap, which was decent but felt like he could have done much more with.

6/10

The MH370 program is a load of conspiracy theorist claptrap.

1.5/10.

Shame as its a really interesting and intriguing story on it's own.

I know people do climb these towers and similar ridiculously high man-made or natural challenges, but to the normal guy, why the hell would you!
When I joined the Royal Navy at 15 we spent a year at HMS Ganges, the mast is 43 metres high, apart from having to climb it once just after we joined, we often climbed up the rigging on Sundays for fun, guess some just like climbing things higher.

Smashing view from the top as well.

That mast barely looks 25m high.

There's no way that tree his taller than 5 or 6m.
