It looks like a Danny Dyer parody, I can’t believe it’s real. 

Anything with danny dyer is a switch off. Someone needs to tell him he cant act.

Someone also needs to tell him that he's not really royalty. You'd be hard pushed to find someone with English ancestry that's not desended from Edward III.

Love the original, but 40 years is a long time.

Watched marching powder, was good fun

It looks as though the Snow White remake is going to cause a lot of controversy and largely tank when it’s released this week. 
 

The magic mirror must be broken / purchased from Temu, as I think Gal Gadot is more attractive than the woman playing Snow. Obviously…… I’ve yet to see the CGI editing to see how they manipulate this.

It’s a bit uninspiring for me, but there have been rumours that they’re considering Alfonso Cuarón to direct, which would be unbelievable IMO.

A Complete Unknown 

 

Excellent performance by Chalamet and of course, the music was great.

 

But...was just an okay movie for me. I knew of the controversy of when he went from acoustic to electric and that's really all this movie built up to. Maybe Bob just isn't that interesting.

The cast for the Beatles biopic.

 

Paul Mescal and Barry Keoghan are in every film

I've enjoyed some of Wes Anderson's stuff (eg Grand Budapest Hotel) but Asteroid City was just a load of toss

Just seen it, Liam Neeson in a comedy role im not sure. I think some like a Steve Martin would have been better suited.

Honestly wasn’t sure what to think about the Naked Gun reboot. Was put off by the first half of the trailer as it seemed like a modern generic cop action comedy. But that second half was just perfect. Looks like they’ve absolutely nailed the tone of the Zucker/Abrahams movies. I will definitely be going to see it

I preferred that to The French Dispatch.

Halfway through The World will tremble and can honestly say I've never seen anything so harrowing. Such a tough watch

 

 

Edit: just finished it. It didn't get any easier

I watched the Commitments on Saturday - its firmly there as one of those films which really shouldnt' have won as many awards as it did but its still a very enjoyable, joyous watch.

Another 28 years later trailer recently been released, looks good and for the first time in two years i"ll be returning to the cinema to see a movie that actually looks appealing.
