​​​​​Surely you must go and do it now (the way) if you havent already?

Definitely not new, but I stumbled across Movie 43 recently.

Without question worth checking out if only for the sequence with Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet and an unusual neck growth!

I watched Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein on Netflix. Utter shite and way too long. Three hours of my life I will never get back.

The reviews for Running Man have been very split.  The Telegraph gives it 5* whilst The Independent gives it 2*.  I rate Edgar Wright so will give it a go. 

The Drunken Sweaty reckon’s the new Running Man is shite. And if they can’t get a 80’s action pic remake right. (No surprise there.) Then I ain’t wasting time or money on it. Just slam in the DVD. And watch Arnold. Run around in them Retro Adidas tracksuit’s.

Giving "The F1 Movie" a go tonight. Hopeful it's more interesting than an actual F1 race.

My concern is, that it being film with an anti-capitalist theme to it, that they've gone balls out with the Hollywood wokeness in it.

I hope not though.

Can't bring myself to do that. The 80s Running Man film is one of my favourites and I'm certain to really dislike this one, although I understand it's a little more true to the short story. However, without reading about any plot details, in the spirit of modern cinema I am sure the true hero of the piece will be a strong, diverse female.

Will probably try to watch the Running Man this weekend.

Seen a mixture of reviews about it.  I'm not look for a masterpiece, but I enjoyed the original.

I watched Playdate last  night. It was actually very funny. A good romp. 

Been off sick all week so to kill the boredom I gave some old films a go. 'Unthinkable' (Samuel L Jackson) is very good.

I was a bit 'meh' after watching it as well.

It wasn't much of a story.

yeah with so few characters and the same setting, they had plenty of time to tell a better story.

Watched a half decent horror Rosario last night. Couldn't keep my eyes off her enormous talent.
