Yesterday I watched Rebel Moon Part One.

I actually liked it for the most part, yes the Film does follow Spice Girls - Spice Up Your Life's lyrics of "people of the world" in the casting department, so for example members such as Alf and LT want to steer well clear of this Film.

And personally I do believe that there was a character that was underdeveloped in the Film, and without spoiling exactly who it is, they won't be returning for the sequel, which meant that the character was kind of a waste of time imo.

However I would say that I thought that the action was fun, the villain was really good (kudos to both Rebel Moon and Dune 2 for bringing back iconic villain performances again) and I do think that the Film establishes it's story and lore reasonably well.

Do I think that the Film is a masterpiece? No.

Do I think that the Film is over hated? Imo yes, there have been worse Films that I have seen over the years, a recent one for myself being The Conjuring.

And my Dad was saying that there should be a Video Game based on Rebel Moon, and whilst I agree with him that it could be a fun idea, I do also wonder how long it would take before the western Video Game developers would decide to make Sofia Boutella's character model look ugly? Because she is an attractive woman imo that could be marketed in a similar way to Lara Croft, but we all know what western developers are like today in the Video Game industry.

But if they could actually faithfully recreate the characters of Rebel Moon, then yeah I'd be with my Dad on cheerleading for a Video Game adaptation, the world is there for it after all.

Nope……it’s a bit of a slower paced sci fi/horror but it still brings that creepy vibe very nicely and I like that when it just more toys with you and not so in your face alien people…I liked the brother and sister two leads as well and their dynamic…all in all around a 7/10, I reckon…

Keeping Up with the Joneses


remains a good fun film, with Jon Hamm, Gal Gadot, Zach Galifianakis, Isla Fisher


a spy comedy


with Patton Oswalt as the bad guy

Rock and Rule.

7/10

An animated film from the 80s, set in a post-apocalyptic world. It's okay, the best thing about it being the songs. Has performances by Debbie Harry, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Cheap Trick...

Trigger warning - It was awful, don't watch it 2/10

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

8.5


very enjoyable, however i have to give some criticism here and there (yes shocking i know from someone usually positive about many things)

Spoiler:

Kong's Armor, gave me transformers vibes

that said

Spoiler:

the visuals once again stunning, especially Mothra's scenes near the end, and all of Godzilla's scenes, also a little funny with Godzilla sleeping in the collosseum in Rome

yes i liked it all in all

No offense, but the title of the Movie already scares me.

So Trigger Warning should come with a trigger warning?

Indeed

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024)

similar good fun as the previous films



omg John Ashton (Taggart) looks very nice for 76 yrs old, and Judge Reinhold (Rosewood) also still looking very nice



Kevin Bacon

Spoiler:

nice villain role from him

good action-comedy



9.5

Does Bronson Pinchot have a sizeable role? He was a highlight of the first and third films for many.

…I have to say that I wasn’t personally a fan of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F…I would probably rate it around 3/10…beyond the first/initial nostalgia feeling, just all very uninspiring in storyline …

Same, we actually turned it off after around 30mins in

[Mystic Mock]

I haven't seen the sequels yet to Beverly Hills Cop.

But I remember loving the first one.

…I left it running in the background but that’s very much where it stayed as it didn’t catch or engage any attention at all…the soundtrack/theme song when it started up near the beginning was probably as high a highlight as it got for me…/…very disappointing for a sequel made so many years on from such an iconic movie franchise…although, I don’t think that any of the later ones matched the first one for me…

Looking forward to the new Nicolas Cage horror film 'Longlegs' that's coming out at the end of the week. It's gotten spectacular early reviews thus far.

[Ammi]

…the Longlegs trailer looks really creepy, ChalkOutlineMan….I'm looking forward to it also…I hope that it’s more scare than gore…

[Niamh.]

The Watchers - Not bad at all 6.5/10

I think that you'll be in luck as the Gore Horror is out of trend at the moment, or at least from what I can tell.

[Niamh.]

Actually, I think Ammi would like The Watchers as a horror in that case

Tbh, the Film does sound interesting to me as well @Niamh.

It might detox me from my last Horror Movie experience.
