Went to see Dream Horse at the cinema yesterday. It was a good way to spend two hours but as previously mentioned there was a lot of artistic licence involved. As someone who has owned racehorses in the past there were a few liberties taken but it does say based on a true story at the begining of the film. Worth seeing however. 6/10.
If you’ve not already seen it, the documentary (Dark Horse) about the same subject is superb. The Dead Don't Die (currently on Netflix)
Zombie thing with Bill Murray and many others.
Somehow a lot of very talented people came together and seem to have deliberately made a really s
t film. I'm sure they thought they were being ironic or clever or something but it's just crap.
Really disappointing. 2/10 at a stretch.

It's just very boring, neither funny, scary, thrilling or even interesting.
F9
I've loved this franchise since the very first one, it has been quite the journey.
F9 for me is by far the biggest disappointment of the franchise. I know each movie has to out do the next but some of the scenes were so hideously bad it spoiled it. Some of the casting was also exceptionally bad. No Rock or Statham felt very odd too.
Still an enjoyable watch but not their finest effort and hopefully F10 can round off the franchise with a bang.

Isn't It Romantic - Netflix
A satire about romcoms, wrapped in a metaromcom that was actually a romcom.
Quite fun, and nicely observed. Rebel Wilson, Liam Hemsworth. The laughs come from the satire. It was fun.
6.5/10 because it was a romcom. 8/10 because it was quite smartly constructed.

Cherry (2021)
Tom Holland.
A “woke” deer hunter?
Great cinematography, hummers, & explosions in the desert (if you manage to make it to part 3..)
The rest, slow start, and well yes, war will probably fk you up a bit. But most past generations managed to weather it without these endless “mental health” therapy seminars and counselling and just got on with it. I often wonder how today’s woke snowflakes would handle action in a live war zone; not well would be an understatement I’m sure.
Soft indulgent PTSD twaddle for millennials. 3/10.

Having had time to think I now give this 0/10.Zombie thing with Bill Murray and many others.

There are some really bad films out there but I think this is worse because it's like they deliberately set out to make it bad as some sort of arty statement. Uwe Boll made some crap but at least he didn't set out to do it on purpose while congratulating his own brilliance.
Don't waste your time.

Just gave up on the Comeback Trail
Sky Originals continue their record of producing crap movies
We're in the habit of checking Google before watching stuff these days. Rotten Tomatoes gave The Comeback Trail 38%.Sky Originals continue their record of producing crap movies
So we swerved that and finally watched Promising Young Female.
I liked the directorial devices around angels and crucifixion.

Just a heads up, Restless Natives is on the BBC Scotland channel tonight at 22:30 therefore I expect it will be on the iPlayer afterwards. Great film and a brilliant soundtrack by Big Country.
Very good shout. I love the film and the music.biggbn said:
Tonight's viewing, Butterfly on a wheel with Pierce Brosnan and Gérard Butler, really watchable with a few twists thrown in, worth a watch. Second film was Atomic Blonde, wow, really enjoyed this, cold War action hokum buy brain out enjoyable.
Atomic Blonde is a regular tv movie now , seen it a few times ,still can't work out who Charlize Theron is working for .Good movie though .
The supposed period shots of London are amusing , every other car is an MG .
