The Batman
Almost 3 hours of dross. Good ratings on the review sites but I don't know how.
It tries hard to be a good film, it tries to be dark, but that's it, it looks like it's trying and it doesn't get close. Or is that it, it's a poor pastiche?
Just sat through this Mumble fest on Sky. Almost 3 hours of dross. Good ratings on the review sites but I don't know how.

Subtitles are your friend .
I was going to rent it to watch this weekend, but if its another one of those films that needs to be at volume 99 to hear what people are saying, and which then smashes all the windows with a blast of CGI action crap, then I'll wait until it's free, or I take a long-haul flight next year.

Warriors of Future.
That's how it's spelled it's not a typo.
Japanese Sci-Fi. Good special effects, but a typical Japanese mix of characters, stoic, clown, old hand etc. Godzilla type monsters and lots of self sacrifice.

The Bombardment (Netflix)
Danish film about a raid to destroy the Gestapo headquarters in Copenhagen during WW2 that goes wrong.
Based on a true story, with some complex themes being explored.
Highly recommended.

Never sat down and watched this, though I've seen a few clips and knew how it ended.
Disappointed to be honest, despite Steve Martin and John Candy being masters of their trade, I just found it all a bit "meh".
It's a 5.5/10 which includes a bonus half point for an appearance by Michael "David St Hubbins" McKean.
I never rated it much when it came out either. For me, Candy's masterpiece is Uncle Buck, and Martin has been in better films Never sat down and watched this, though I've seen a few clips and knew how it ended.

McFarland, USA. Inspiring if formulaic story about an Amerocan teacher who moves to the small town of McFarland with a predominately Mexican population and introduces a cross country running programme. Based on a true story, eminently watchable Kevin Costner plays the teacher. Was on BBC2 so maybe get it on iplayer? We enjoyed it easy watch
