🎥 Films
🎥 Gunpowder Milkshake, 2021 - ★★

I dunno - I thought it might be fun - it was for a short while - another failure to communicate. Sorry - and no idea how it ended.
🎥 The Marksman, 2021 - ★★

Liam doing what Liam does. I couldn’t be bothered to get to the end, so two stars is generous.
🎥 Chief of Station, 2024 - ★★★

Not bad to begin with.. but kind of fell off into cliches .. and isn’t Aaron a bit old to be brawling and fighting in the field?
🎥 The Union, 2024 - ★★★

I dunno .. Marky, Halle AND J.K. .. great cast .. so you expect a bit more than average? Don’t you? That said the choreography of chasing the case down the side of a building was well done. But if that’s the peak .. you wonder why I gave it 3 stars. Don’t you?
🎥 Rebel Ridge, 2024 - ★★★★

Three and a half stars … rounding up to 4 .. just for the audacity to remake Rambo and not give Sky any credit. Seriously .. not bad at all.
🎥 The Instigators, 2024 ★★

Average score for an average movie. Casey? Never been overly bothered, but Matt is capable of so much more.

🎥 Wolfs, 2024 - ★★★★

Wolfs … not Wolves. Not sure why. Need to look it up. Other than that .. all good. They have a good relationship IRL … it comes through in the movie.
🎥 SAS: Red Notice, 2021 - ★★★

It is what it is. Of a kind. Set up for a sequel that prolly won’t be made. Netflix calls it something different. Don’t know why.
🎥 A Most Wanted Man, 2014 - ★★★★½

The only reasons it’s not 5 stars is that I find it hard to give 5 stars because 5 stars means it can’t be improved. Now .. how could this be improved .. I have no idea, just wonderful. Quite wonderful. The original book coming from one of ‘my Johns’ (LeCarre), provided a solid foundation. Cast GREAT. PSH .. magnificent. Cannot be,I eve it’s taken me 10 years to get to it.
🎥 Find Me Falling, 2024 - ★★★

Cute - ish … without Harry, wouldn’t have bothered. Been a while since I’d seen him … anywhere. Hallmark anyone?
🎥 2 Guns, 2013 - ★★★½

An older one. Couple o’ great action stars .. one of them a great actor .. but somehow the movie wasn’t great. Not bad, but not great.
🎥 The Sleepover, 2020 - ★★★

If you have run out of movies from the ‘Spy Kids’ franchise, well now you have one not from the franchise .. but that is pretty much the only reason to watch it .. with your kids/grandkids .. oh … and get ready for the question …
> If mom was a baddy and all her old gang are not in prison .. how did she swing being in Witness Protection?
The answer?
Don’t be persnickety .. it’s a movie.
🎥 The Foreigner, 2017 - ★★★½

On the whole, when I eventually get to them (7 years in this case) I do enjoy Jackie Chan movies. This was no exception. If you aren’t into Jackie Chan movies, this won’t change your mind.
🎥 The Bricklayer, 2023 - ★★★

Netflix doesn’t do the best movies .. but it they do seem to have a knack of pushing out better than average. Like this one.
🎥 Lift, 2024 - ★★★

Not totally bad .. but confused .. and definitely below expectations. Vincent was great. The rest .. meh.
🎥 Safe House, 2012 - ★★★½

Somehow missed this in 2012 .. good cast, good director, good film .. and what a YOUNG Ryan’s Reynolds … it was only 12 years ago.
Worth a watch - though a relatively predictable story arc.
