Alita: Battle Angel

8/10. Stunning visuals as befits a film that James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez are involved in. This is based on a manga and I like the way they've enhanced Alita's eyes to make them larger and more manga style.

A sequel has been commissioned. Maybe we get to see what the hovering city looks like inside.

that's good news, I hadn't heard that. I loved the film and was gutted when I got to the end and discovered it was going to be in more than one part. It made money but I got worried when I found it hadn't been anywhere near as successful as they had hoped it would be.

I heard it had been commissioned but with Disney taking over Fox it's now in question.

Thanks for posting that Hugh :tu: Good news if true. We enjoyed the film and the storyline certainly allows for a sequel.

Old DVD found while rooting through drawers (ooooeerr missus)

Bottom Live - Weapons Grade Y Fronts Tour (2003)

Just over 1 hour 30 minutes of ridiculous plot, awful scenery, forgotten lines, ad-libs, foul language, sexual innuendo, bottom burps and gratuitous violence.

Loved it 10/10


*sigh* they can't make em like that anymore ;)

Artemis Fowl. 2/10

Clearly intended to set up multiple sequels/franchise but they've killed it fairly quick. Clearly the budget was spent solely on CGI. An hour in and you notice 30 minutes are left and nothing has actually happened. The plot hasn't gone anywhere.

I looked at reviews, saw very similar comments, gave it a swerve :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I did wanna give it a watch because it sounded like it could be awesome. Sounds like they totally butchered it though.

I wasn't impressed from the trailer

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

We watched a number of versions of Pilgrim's Progress. Some were pretty bad and we abandoned but 2 are really very good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sK9Pz3SP8s - animated version, reasonably true to the original story

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faeen3y7PV0 - a musical version made by a church in the US for $2500. This is not quite what you expect from the word musical. The script is in rhyming couplets (some are a bit strained) with a couple of songs but they fit in very well. It does depart a bit from the Bunyan version and some names are different. It's shot in Oregon and the scenery is beautiful. Highly recommend spending 90 mins on this.

Feels like yonks since I did one of these. I think the last time was back in January for 1917.

Greyhound 7.5/10: Been a long time since I watched a WW2 film and this doesn't disappoint. One of the good things these days is that they can make films and show you things with visual effects that couldn't have been done before. You watch stuff like Band of Brothers and in the first ep they get shipped over to England for deployment. None of what they achieved thereafter would have been possible if not for the navy. Very good story.

The Old Guard 6.5/10: I enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting to. 6.5 sounds like a low score but it doesn't mean the film was bad. Interesting story and good action but tbh you could see it was a tv movie and it felt like it needed a Hollywood touch and developing for the big screen.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes 8/10.
