Christ benny, first Drive and now Moon Safari. You'll be telling everyone about the refreshing taste of the latest wonder pop to hit the shelves, something called "Coca-Cola" any minute now!

25 year anniversary of Moon Safari, some of the young uns might have missed it.

Too the young fella to see Plane.
Dont waste your time.

Watched a few movies since Christmas...

Babylon - 7/10 It was mad and quite enjoyable but probably an hour and 10 mins too long. Music is great in it!

Long Shot - 6/10 Was severely bored and saw this comedy. It's fine and passed a couple of hours with a few dick jokes etc. Not the worst

M3GAN - 6/10 As someone mentioned above it could have covered the existential crisis of AI taking over the world a la Terminator but then kind of morphed into a teenage horror story. Grand.

The Menu - 5/10 Thought it was awful guff.

Puss in Boots - 8.5/10 Took the kids not expecting much but have to say I really enjoyed it. Well worth taking the family to.

Tár - 7/10 It is a really good performance by Blanchett. It takes the piss out of the arty Orchestra/conductor types but was a bit too arty itself, I'm still thinking about it not sure how much I enjoyed it so gave it a 7.

Deadly Cuts - 7/10 It's not winning any awards but found it mildly entertaining. Not a bad one to watch with the Mrs.

Triangle of Sadness - Just don't!

Win it all - 7/10 Thought it was funny and a bit charming. Again one you could watch with herself and it'd be enjoyable enough.

Burnt - 6.5/10 Pretty average film about the Chef scene in London. We already know Chef's are pricks

Watched a random movie on Netflix last night - Drive (2011), dunno how I missed that first time round, great movie, lots of A list cast members, highly stylised, some good music as well.

Under a rock benny, sensational soundtrack

I remember looking for that soundtrack a good while ago. There was something about certain songs being absent from Spotify. Might be changed now.

Funny to hear how much of an impression the movie and soundtrack made on others.  I remember thinking the movie was just about OK.  Have no memory of any of the music!

Watched Baby Driver (2017) 2nite on Netflix, thinks it's cool & stylish but trying a bit too hard for me.

Watched The Swimmers recently on Netflix (a true story of 2 middle class Syrians journey from Syria ultimately to Germany), a grim eye opener.

The new Avatar. I don't mind much about the first one but went ahead to see the latest. Too long. Too much emphasis put on the visuals in my opinion. The story was grand and I enjoyed it towards the end. Could have been made about 1 hour shorter.

I saw the first Avator on an IMAX screen in 3D.

My head was spinning afterwards! Way too much visual info to keep up with.

Happy to see Keoghan and Condon win the best supporting actor categories at the BAFTAs. I thought they were both brilliant in Banshees.

New Antman. Another poor recent Marvel film for me. They seem to have lost their way recently. Hopefully they can get it back on track soon.

No Thor, love and thunder bad... but not one I'd watch again either.

Super hero films!!!  Watched about half an hour of captain America and never again

[J70]

I've been working through the Marvel stuff with my son over the past year.

Enjoyed most of them, but the more recent ones have not been quite as good.

Without strong leads like Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans they're lacking a wee bit. Story can be complicated too if you don't recall every little detail of the earlier films. The Thanos concept had been nice and simple to follow.

Wakanda Forever was too long and unfortunately desperately missed the late Chadwick Boseman. The Dr strange ones are way too abstract for me.

I like Paul Rudd and the first Antman was fun, but I'm not hearing great things about the latest one.

Young lad wants to see it though, so I'll sit through it and try to keep up.

Some of the tv ones are decent. Loved Hawkeye. Ms Marvel pretty good too. Enjoyed the Guardians Xmas special. Head was spinning with Loki!

When are they  going to stop with  these super hero  films,?

Seems like every  week there's another one out , and  usually with a superhero  I've never heard of... blackspiderhulk or captain bisexual or whatever

Granted , I did enjoy  a couple of the  Ironman  films and Ant-man ,  but I'm not sure I could be bothered with any more

[shawshank]

'Captain bisexual'  definitely laughed out loud.
