Absolutely dreadful, charmless nonsense. Not a single interesting character or moment. The theme song plays like someone has an IPod shuffle they don't know how to use
Its time to acknowledge this series is 7 films in & there has been exactly one good film.

Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday was breathlessly cool. But my favourite moment in that film is when he says why he's willing to risk his life for Wyatt Earp.

Great craic on RTE this morning. Hating Electric State so much I start speaking Irish. Then loving Mississipi Burning so much I call him Gene Hack-Man

Bucket list moment for me getting to interview @aiannucci.bsky.social about Dr Strangelove that's showing in the @BGETheatre

He also drops a bombshell (punch intended) about Strangelove's link to another Kubrick classic

Our latest episode is now online, with the great @andymcextravision.bsky.social joining us to talk about “Training Day.”

It is, somewhat unbelievably, our first time talking about Denzel Washington despite having done the podcast for eight years.

Look, I'll be honest. When I agreed to "circle back to this in the New Year,"

I meant, let's never speak of this again.

So after about five months off the boil, I'm saddling up and going back to writing about telly, movies and all of the wretched filth I see on my phone.

36 years gone today. Miss you so much. You gave your life doing the noble thing. Trying to get other people killed so you could live.

I'm booking a brain scan for January. Because the first time I saw this. I was convinced it was fantastic and Henry Golding would be a great James Bond.

The Crow
Joker 2
Venom The Last Dance
Trap
Kraven

Madame Web
Irish Wish
Godzilla x Kong

I remember when I saw The Godfather for the first time. I was blown away with how many verticals it hit and what a strategic win the film was.
