Quite enjoyed Ballerina a spin off from the John Wick universe but then I adore Ana de Armas.

Worth Hunting Down.

Watched The Amateur on Sunday. I highly recomend it. Sort of in the Taken/Revenge genre but one of the better ones.

well thanks for ruining the change for everyone else

See How They Run; comedy Agatha Christie style whodunnit. Good cast , with Sam Rockwell, Saoirse Ronan, Adrien Brody and Ruth Wilson. 6 marks out of 10.

Finally got round to watching Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.  Loved certainly 1&3, 2 was ok but didn't care too much for The Crystal Skull and I had avoided this last one due to reading that it had gone "woke" and that Phoebe Waller-Bridge was annoying.  Yes she was a tad annoying, but I must confess is wasn't as bad as many of the reviews suggested.  I'd say it was certainly better than the Crystal Skull.  Was actually quite impressed with the de-ageing of Ford on the whole, but what I found a let down, (as with many films these days) was the over use of poor CGI.  Back in the day car/bike chases and action scenes were performed by stunt men and choreographed on the whole well.  The CGI in this at times took me back to the days of the 40's, 50's and 60's when it was clear someone was sitting in a stationary car with film of a road in the background and it didn't look particulatly good.  Not a patch on the originals but worth a watch if you haven't seen it and got nothing better to do.  Does make you feel old though, can't believe I was 14 when the original came out!

Considering it's based on a true story it's an uncomfortable watch.
It's friggin' brutal.
If anyone was ever in doubt, you can see why so many servicemen return with psychological problems.

MI was OK but ffs call it a day now. The plots are a fucking nonsense and noticed it lacked any humour that previous ones had a little. 

Marching Powder, assuming it is meant to be a comedy I found it quite funny and good watchable yarn. 'So yea, you are absolutely right, you are a cսnt, but you're my cսnt, and that matters to me'.

Saw the new Mission Impossible at the weekend
Could lose 50mins of its 2hr 50min running time but good fun once it gets going
Utterly ludicrous story of course with Tom going from submarines at the bottom of the Bering sea to hijacking a biplane in mid air to counter some gobbledygook science
