Shadow in the cloud
2 reasons:
1, Chloe Grace Moretz - flipping gorgeous
2, Only an hour and a half
What a waste of an hour and half. Should have known better when it was plastered with New Zealand film board s
t at the start
Fist fight with a very toothy gremlin then a bit of breast feeding within 2 mins WTF
2/10 - and the 2 is for Chloe
I saw somebody give this a favourable mention somewhere - Times, Spectator? - and we gave it a try. I don't judge a film by who pays for it , and I'm sure NZ FB has done some good stuff, but God above this was simply terrible. I have never heard of Chloe Grace Moretz and I can't say a big impression was made , but we only endured ten minutes of this risibly dreadful old tut . 2 reasons:

Just finished watching The Northman. Never a dull moment from start to finish. 
Sure, but it is little more than a gorier Viking version of the ‘swords and sandals’ formula wallop. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. The swords and sandals stuff was always fairly mannered when in reality if you start going back to pre-Christian Norsemen it is far more batsh*t crazy with human sacrifice etc.

Rewatched this with my daughter. I knew I had seen it but couldn’t really remember it. I remembered liking it but on seeing it again not wholly sure why. Definitely one of the weirdest films I’ve seen. It was interesting with some very dry and dark humour but not sure I could say I enjoyed it.
I would like to have been a fly on the wall at the meetings when they were pitching the movie. Saying that they were able to get a very strong ensemble cast to sign up.

Just got back from Dr Strange with my 8 year old son, probably not my finest parenting moment.
I’m not a Marvel person, but I’ve loosely watched a few of the other films in the Marvel universe and I usually find them a bit meh.
I really enjoyed it, a good solid 8.5 from me, my son not quite so much
I don’t really think this should be a 12a, it’s quite violent and a lot of death and destruction.
But I’d forgotten how good watching films is at the cinema, at home I’m usually scrolling and not paying 100% attention.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife - went into this with slight trepidation but I needn't have worried. IMO the film was a joy to watch heavily referencing the 2 previous ones throughout the final part. I would have thought (no longer having younglings) that it's an ideal family film as was no.1
