Late to the party but I enjoyed the 2012 Keith Urban “Dredd” last night. Much better than the Stallone one. Gritty and very violent. Some nice nods to other characters in the graffiti. Anyone got any Slo-Mo?

There are traces of Cormac McCarthy's The Road and Blood Meridian, the latter especially when they arrive in a lawless town that reeks of death.

Watched News of the World on Saturday, the new Tom Hanks movie, directed by Paul Greengrass.

After finding it a touch yawnsome initially (old grizzled man takes vulnerable child under their wing and they must grow to get used to one another's company), it developed into something gripping and intense.

It's set after the American Civil War and really captures the sense of a fractured country, while Mr Hanks travels around reading the news to townspeople.

And some truly excellent set-pieces.

Well worth two hours of your time.

Sorry, but you vastly oversold this. It has hints of those Cormac McCarthy novels but this is a strictly rated 12 version that doesn’t have much in the way of high drama.

It was alright, I guess, but it should have been rated 18 and darker for my tastes to really get under the skin.

Plus the CG on the sandstorm was weak as piss and the bit that follows it made me roll my eyes.

Watched the Snyder cut. So much better, slightly annoyed at the 4:3 and the FTL sheningans, really appreciated the chapter cards, perfect opportunity for loo breaks / food top ups

I am up to chapter 6, my goodness it is a lot better than the 2017 version.

It’s just as good, if not better, in black and white.

Bad Trip on Netflix is far funnier than it has any right to be.

That’s tonight’s film locked in then.

NOW only has the colour one. Unless I am missing something

Might only be on HBOMax, although its also likely to be available on your friendly neighbour’s Plex server.

Where is it available?

Turn the colour down on your TV?

Yeah. It's a ludicrous film, but really quite entertaining.

Metal drummer Ruben begins to lose his hearing. When a doctor tells him his condition will worsen, he thinks his career and life is over. His girlfriend Lou checks the former addict into a rehab for the deaf hoping it will prevent a relapse and help him adapt to his new life. After being welcomed and accepted just as he is, Ruben must choose between his new normal and the life he once knew.

The should've called it "Bad Boys: What Ya Gonna Do?"

“Nobody” is great fun but don’t you fucking dare mention the god that is John Wick in the same breath; the action ending was much weaker than your typical Wick gun fu.

Mind you, that bus sequence mwah!

The founder: Michael Keaton pops into Nick Offerman's burger place to sell him a milkshake machine and does a deal.

Absolutely brilliant film about McDonald's, Keaton is superb.

Greenland. I'm more selfish than you. No, I'm more selfish than you! Some tension, but mostly dull.

Mitchells vs The Machines on Netflix is very good fun. Made my eyes water in some bits, though.

I enjoyed it too, but I’m kinda sick of Seth Rogan and his voice. It didn’t fit the character as neatly as I’d have liked, probably due to his ubiquitousness and that we readily associate him with being a carefree stoner not some uptight dad who can’t work a computer. I wish they’d have gone with someone else not as recognisable. Still, the animation was toight and the Furby section was ace.

It was magic. Absolutely guileless vim to so much of the animation, where you saw the daughter's drawings burst through into the real world.

Definitely a finely-tuned vehicle for crunching dads in the nads.

But on the whole, a joyous thing.

The voice was sort of familiar but I didn't know it was Seth Rogan so it seemed fine. I did recognise Olivia Colman, though.

It wasn't Seth. The voice of the dad was done by Danny McBride

It wasn't Seth. The voice of the dad was done by Danny McBride, who to be fair isn't a million miles away from Seth Rogan.

Oof. Awkward
