28 Years Later 5.5, and sorry to give it so low, but may be generous. Had the bones of a good movie but too many arty inserts that served no purpose and not that much of a story.

Apparently first part of a planned trilogy but could have been condensed to 20-30 mins and split between the other 2.

Ralph Fienes covered in Iodine still less orange than trump.


so at the end of 28 months later the virus is on the continent but now they some how controlled it, which imo is just bS. But lets say they had a way, why the hell wouldnt you impenent it across England?

and the baby storyline can go get f#%ked

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning: Ridiculous and over the top, even for an MI movie but good nonetheless.

Sinners - Don't get the hype, most of its pretty boring. Woke audiences loving it because of all the deep south African American references, but there's no plot. Just a mess of unrelated scenes and themes.
It's amazing how many negative "reviews" of this movie resort to this tired line.

Grow a pair, people can like stuff you don't like and it has nothing to do with your culture warring.

"Get Out" copped reviews like that as well. I thought "Get Out" was absolutely superb. I can't comment on Sinners yet but what I have read has been quite positive.

I liked it, but it's a mix of films and I would have preferred it being one of the mix rather than all the mixes. I can't really say more as I'll spoil it.

Goes both ways though, of course you get the incel losers who hate anything who has a chick/gay lead, in turn you get people who say they love a movie/show purely cause of the DEI hires. I have a joke with the Mrs when watching any Netflix series/movie about when the first gay character appears. It doesnt effect my enjoyment of the show, just have a laugh at how manufactured it is.

So I went and saw F1: The Movie this afternoon. I'd give it a solid 7-7.5/10. Whilst some parts of it were a tad predictable, there was enough going on that the movie flew by and there were an occasion of two where you thought the "expected ending" might not happen.

Its a long movie though. It runs for 2 1/2 hours (give or take a minute, I left whilst the credits were running). It was entertaining.

Yes, Brad Pitt is the "grizzled veteran" who's character started in F1 back when people likle Mansell, Prost and Senna were still racing but leftr it due to an ontrack incident (which I won't go on about here and spoil it). He eventually becomes a wanderiung driver going from race to race, trying to recapture how he felt when he was in F1. Money is not his motivation. He only comes back to F1 when his former team mate in F1, played by JKavier Bardem, who is running an F1 team approaches him asd he needs a second driver as one of his drivers singed mid-year with another team. His team APC Racing (pronouced "Apex") is one of the back runners. Thing is if they don't improve by the end of the year, Bardem will be forced out and the team will be sold. There are 9 races left when Pitt's charcter is approached.

Pitt's character, Sonny Hayes, is a professional on the track. He wants to win, but is not reckless. We see thgat at the start of the movie when he, as the "hired gun" helps his team win the Daytona 24 Hour Race.

It shows what goes on both on the track, on the designing boards, and even the board room in F1.

All up, its worth a watch. I found it entertaining that the time just flew by.

The racing scenes aren't bad, they're decent, but its no Rush on that score.
