Jury Duty
A series over from the States that’s had me properly laughing out at points. A little bit like the Truman Show and the ‘star’ of the show is brilliant.

Operation Fortune - Guy Ritchie’s latest and a take on the Mission Impossible genre. After The Gentlemen, I had high hopes but this fell a bit flat. There’s action but it’s by the books fighting, shooting and explosions. There’s humour but nothing that prompted more than a smile. There’s acting, sort of.
Pretty bad , not sure how they thought they could spin up a whole film around Hugh grants character from The Gentleman Like Austin Powers meets Taken
Who on earth green lights these things ? Backers from Turkey and Qatar ?

I was disappointed. Was that the same chararcter Grant was playing? I'd just assumed he could only do one other accent.Like Austin Powers meets Taken

Anyone else not getting on with the new menus?
They’re awful. Wish they would fix it. They are normally good at listening to customers The same small selection of tiles, row after row, even though each row is supposed to be a different category.
Search is garbage now too, it brings up damn near the same tiles as on the home page!
Looking at listings on the app is better than the Firestick menu, and using the web page through a browser is even better.
New menus make it difficult to find anything. Tiles too large and poorly organised. The pay per view stuff, advert content and sports channels are too prominent as well.
Triangle of Sadness
Started off well but faded towards the end. However, I enjoyed it. A bit of an Airplane feel at one point
.
Interesting but sad fact: the actress playing the influencer type died, aged 32, before the film was released. Bacterial Sepsis.

Over the weekend I watched:
Clerks 3 mainly out of tradition as I'd seen the earlier Kevin Smith 'Jay and Silent Bob' films multiple times (grown out of his later stuff) and had recently re-watched the original Clerks on the ITV Hub. Not bad if you are a fan of Clerks otherwise it would be meaningless.
Then the 'you might also like' recommendation appeared for Madness in the Method directed by (!) and starring Jason Mewes playing a version of himself, an actor typecast as a sidekick who wants to get a 'leading man' role. Also starring Vinnie Jones and the lanky one from Inbetweeners. Strangely it was written by 2 Brits with some scenes filmed in the UK (pretending to be Los Angeles). Not bad either, with plenty of cameos from well known faces.

Funny you say that about Clerks 3, went to see it when it was out with my girlfriend who I've slowly made a fan of Kevin Smith but she's never seen the Clerks films (I've gotten her to watch Dogma, Red State, Jay and SIlent Bob Reboot and Strike Back so far). She didn't think it was bad at all, even though she was oblivious to most of the callbacks and cameos.

I thought it was a great film but to fully appreciate it you definitely have to have seen a lot of other stuff.
