seeing as the Olympic diving is currently on. Jason Staham's latest offering is Wrath of man. It has little or no plot. You won't find any Oscar winning performances. But it's pretty good as a shoot'em up.

Probably mentioned already, but in a similar vein, Bob Odenkirk's film Nobody is great fun.

Anonymous, put-upon middle-aged dude, taken seriously by no one, fed up with his life, who just happens to have a former career as an elite, ultra-deadly assassin.

Totally ridiculous and over-the-top, but very enjoyable.

Netflix?

Not on Netflix.  Both those films were very good.

Not sure about Ireland, but it was only released in the US this summer to the cinema/Amazon $20 rental market. Could be up on Prime or one of the other apps at this point.

I saw it on a flight.

I watched "Boys from County Hell" last night. I knew nothing about it before hand and only watched it as Conor Grimes (Datsun Donaghy) and Fra Fee are in it. It turned out to be a very good vampire move. It is a bit like An American Werewolf in London. It could have been called an Irish Vampire in Derry. It also has John Lynch and Louisa Harland (Orla from Derry Girls). So good performances all round and I would rate it 8 out of 10.
Never underestimate the power of complaining

According to the Irish Film Classification website,  Rocky IV: Rocky v Drago is being released on 19th November,  but I can't find any cinema North or South that are showing it. I don't want to miss it because media reports suggest it will be shown for one night only. Anyone know anything?

Watched Red Notice last night... meh!

Has anyone seen Dune in the Cinema? Heard mixed reports but sounds like the kind of film you'd need to see on the big screen.

You can watch it on YouTube
The bus scene is way over the top but enjoyable

Is anyone really disappointed with the films lately? Really struggle to find anything half decent.

Yeah Nobody was a great laugh.
Not much dialog, but complete over the top violence from a very unlikely looking character.

Its been like that for years, at least for me. There's one every few months, that's about it.

Watched the new Bond film over the weekend. I enjoyed it, even if it wasn't as good as Skyfall or Casino Royale. Won't offer any spoilers. :P

I think Craig has ruined Bond films for me though. Like the Nolan Batman films and subsequent superhero efforts (could be why there's so few movies I'm interested in seeing), I'm not sure I'll be too interested in future Bond films as Craig did such as great job with it overall.

If you have kids, Clifford the Big Red Dog is decent. Tony Hale as the evil corporate bad guy shows you how suitable it is for youngsters. Jungle Cruise was fun also. The Rock is always very watchable.

Seen Bond, went to the midnight show with my daughters 21-18 who are avid Craig as Bond fans, my kids were into all the marvel films too, couple of midnight shows there too!

Just feel it's not as creative I'm just becoming an old fart

Craig takes himself too seriously as Bond, he even dresses up as if he's actually Bond,  the look on his face when Steve Coogan broke into a rousing verse of 'The Men Behind the Wire' is priceless
