I had only ever watched the original three Star Wars movies many years ago, and was not impressed. Personally I like Spaceballs the best.
Yesterday my son and I decided to watch one of the newer ones, episode III I think it was. Sweet mother of jeezus, I thought the Harry Potter movies were bad, but this is another level, how did it not get laughed out of the cinema?

An oldie but still a goodie!
Jim Carrey in fine form. The part with the dry mouth reveal still gets me

I’m not long back from seeing The Phoenician Scheme.
Great names on the bill; Hanks, Dafoe, Cranston, Cumberbatch.
All I can say is, WTF did I just watch?!
4/10

F1 The Movie - 7/10
It's basically Rocky but with F1 as the setting, and I'm fine with that. I feel like they've got enough to satisfy F1 fans and it stands on its own as an entertaining sports action film.
I was worried they were going to do something truly over the top with the ending, and I suspect they were tempted but managed to resist.

A bit of a suprise this one. Even though it's direct follow on sequel, the story follows a completely different path from the original (which I absolutely loved). Less of the suspense and horror of the first one, more of a Mission Impossible action style action, adventure with great comedy touches thrown in. But, it was a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours never the less.

My daughter went to watch it today. She is an F1 fan, and she was unimpressed to say the least, she spent an hour this evening going over what the movie got wrong.

It would seem that fans, or even those with just a passing knowledge of the sport are deriding it. The clichéd "old sweat brought back to mentor new boy" plot has been done many times before in this genre, and that alone is enough to put me off bothering,
But everyone else is loving it.
I guess not many Super Hornet pilots enjoyed Top Gun Maverick, but then the unwashed masses lapped it up.

Fair enough I guess, I went to see it with and F1 fan and she enjoyed it. I think though if they'd gone down the route of "let's make the most technically accurate F1 film" then their audience would have been pretty limited.

Saw Chicken Town last night (in an audience of 2 - us!) The film will ring true with anyone who knows Lincolnshire. More whimsical than laugh-out-loud, though it has its moments.
Well played by a predominantly young cast. While the plot has more holes than my string vest, it makes a certain amount of sense. Highlight (for me) was my hero Graham Fellows, who spent most of the film essentially playing his John Shuttleworth alter ego.
Recommended, though might be hard to catch as it seems to be on a limited release.

FYI there is a Damon Hill documentary, and another one about Williams come out this week. One is on Netflix, can't remember where the other one is.
I'll watch F1 later this month and probably enjoy it, I'm not expecting accuracy but Brad Pitt generally seems to care enough to make a good film.

Tom Hardy as a bent cop with what I think was a New York accent.
A bit like a slightly milder version of The Raid, bullets flying everywhere, fisticuffs and slashing blades, and bodies and blood constantly splattered all over the screen.
Then in the final shootout seven or eight baddies come for our hero armed with automatic weapons, and Tom knocks them all off with a pump action shotgun without sustaining a single wound. He even gets hold of one of the baddie's pistols that seems to have a forty round magazine in it.
Mildy entertaining, 5/10.

To be honest that sounds very like his role in the TV series Mobland where he suddenly turns into John Wick and massacres people without breaking a sweat.
