Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw

Ah look, it is very entertaining and as full of action and madness as you'd expect. I could have done with a little more character every now and then, but it did the job.

Slaughterhouse Rulez

Underwhelming.
cast were all good but film itself was the embodiment of meh

Lucky

Dialogue is bit too philosophical and ott at times, and it lost me at some point in the middle, but there are some really great moments in it.

Star Trek: 2x16 The Gamesters of Triskelion

You know I'm getting pretty fed up with the Kirk is "teh uber" and wins at everything and is always right.

Rocky IV

Oh Rocky IV, the worst of the Rocky films in some ways. But also the most Rocky in others. Also, the film that is pretty much all montage. I mean, how many montages can one film take? Rocky IV certainly pushes the envelope there.

It is a bad film. I don’t think I could argue otherwise.

But, then again, Rocky. So I gotta love it, at least a little.

Centurion

On rewatch I think I feel pretty much the same about this film as I did originally, it isn't going to win many awards but it damn entertaining. With much violence.

Also, I'd like somebody to make a film from the point of view of the picts/celts/germanics/whomevers that the Romans invaded without any rooting for the imperialistic colonial empire.

Star Trek: 2x14 Wolf in the Fold

I'm sorry did Spock really say that the reason this serial killer murders women is because women feel more fear than men, and are easier to scare! say what now!

Shaft

Kept me entertained, but certainly wouldn't be one I'd be rushing to rewatch.

The Crow: City of Angels

So I've heard that this film got butchered by the studio and boy does it ever show. this film makes no sense. Unless all you want to look at is atmospheric fog, brights lights, dark shadows and goth/bdsm aesthetic. I mean, it is a look I guess... but it isn't really an actual film.

Fast Five

This is where the true insanity begins. I mean I know the others weren't realistic, but the ascent to surreal genius is almost upon us.

Sabrina

I'm not sure I buy the romance at all in this film, and isn't he like old enough to be her father... but it's a nice watch.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

This is a terrible terrible film. So boring.

I guess making a monster film this dull is an achievement of sorts...

Star Trek: 2x12 The Deadly Years

Kirk really needs to check himself, surely the crew and the ship come before his pride in his own abilities.

The Vietnam War: 1x01 Déjà Vu (1858-1961)

Goddam it people, why do we have to be so stupid and power hungry?

Really good introduction to the Vietnam War, lot of history that I knew nothing about.

The Fast and the Furious

I have been watching TFATF films for 18 years. I cannot be objective about them, they are awesome. Also nonsensical.

Smokey and the Bandit

Ah this is just a classic. Remember watching it so many times on video, not because it was great, but because it was one of the few videos we actually owned!

Superbad

I remember first watching this, thought it was hilarious. Now I feel it is mildly entertaining.

Shot Caller

So I expected this film to be pretty awful and only really watched it because of Coster-Waldau. And while I can't say that it is a great film, or even a very good one, I did find it an interesting take on the prison film. Also, it has Jon Bernthal, so that's a point for it in and of itself.

It is full of violence, fairly raw violence at that, but it is worth watching to see how the prison environment can make a criminal.

Star Trek: Discovery: 2x01 Brother

I don't know, I feel I'm bouncing off Discovery a little, hopefully it is just the first episode of a new season and I'll get into it more as it goes along.

Game of Thrones: 5x07 The Gift

I like the idea of the Sand sisters, but think they're depicted in a quite cartoonish way.

The Square

So yeah, this film... I mean I kept waiting for something to happen, and nothing ever really came of anything. but in the end, despite that, it was still sorta interesting.

Not as terrifying as I thought from the trailer but still a great film, well worth watching. If possible know nothing before you see it. http://www.susanhatedliterature.net/2019/03/us/

Captain Marvel

Really liked this one. Feels full of joy, similar to Black Panther although not as good. Loved all the 90s nods and Goose!
