Red Sonja (2025)
Complete drivel. Not a lot more to say about it.

Worse than the original? Is that even possible!

The Roses. 7/10
Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch were brilliant while the rest of the cast were okay.
Lots of swearing and really quite funny.

The Thursday murder club 5/10
Haven't read the books but I understand that the screenplay wasn't written by Osman (of whose radio/podcast work I'm a big fan).
It was like someone threw a ton of money at an episode of Tales of the unexpected, which bought a stellar cast but not much more.
No doubt the wave of curiosity will mean that a sequel will follow but I can't see it becoming and endless franchise (& sadly when you're dealing with that talent demographic, the Thursday death by natural causes club is likely to have a growing membership).

I watched that too and rather enjoyed it. I gave it 6.5/10.

Agree, saw it at the cinema whist we were staying in Cardiff Bay.
New Superman last night - fairly good actually, quite enjoyable.

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
I watched the.entire first series of Sapphire and Steel last night. Mildly interesting rubbish. With Joanna Lumley, who single handedly raised the rating from 2 to 6/10 just by existing.

We watched 20,000 Leagues under the sea, one of our favourite films of all time.

the great escape, it was the end of a long day and it sure beats the drivel on most channels on a saturday night.

Weapons - 9/10
Annoyingly I missed this at the cinema, but I'm glad I managed to avoid anything beyond the advert, which thankfully gives nothing away. That said it could have gone in any number of directions until it settles, and although it's nothing new it's seriously well done.
A chilling atmosphere, killer soundtrack and excellent performances all round. Horror is in great shape right now, which is always a good thing.

Kramer v Kramer such a sad story about an event which should have never happened.

We went to see this on Saturday evening, really enjoyed it.
Like you say the 2 main characters are really well suited to the roles and played it well.
Liked the ending too 🤫

The Foreigner.
Not your usual Jackie Chan fare, although there is a bit of that in it.
Its quite a good thriller whereby the IRA upset chan, a guerilla warfare expert who'd fought against the Khmer Rouge.
A bit of slapping, a lot of blowing up, some torture, and a reasonable plot with enough parallel threads and twists to keep on interested.
A surprising 7/10.

Not one I've seen but an upcoming film The Running Man..
Not sure if I really want to see it or really want to avoid it??? 🤭
I did like the original but there again I like most of Arnie's films, not read any reviews yet but seen a trailer which seemed like it was an all action rollercoaster of a movie.
