Looking forward to seeing this.

Looks good. One would assume 4th May same date as Aus. Strange that its been out since Feb in some countries.

Guardians Vol.2 was hilarious. I'd say even better than the first which is a tall order. 8.5/10

Went to see it last night. Great fun!! Definitely will watch it again.



9/10

Almost ashamed to admit this, but I went to Beauty And The Beast. Not my choice, I was with company. Wasn't told until I was in the theatre that there was a lot of singing. "Fuck that" I thought, this won't be anything like The Last Waltz. And it definitely wasn't.

So unless you have to score brownie points with the missus...

After the movie I came home and watched another episode of Breaking Bad. Big difference.

Watched the Lego batman movie with my boy. Got a good few laughs out of me worth seeing with the kids on a rainy day.

Yeah. I live right next door to Readings and went to see, but like you said, crazy busy. Going to Lighthouse Cuba today to see it.

We Own The Night

set in the second-best decade anyone alive remembers (The 80s)
and centering on clubs-drugs-and-the-mob...categorised under "crime drama" it's heavy on both.

impeccably dressed and suitably austere cast, also featuring the gorgeous Tits McLegsalot.

doesn't play shit up or down, some fleckless filmography (bot spoilt also by drunk-camera-guy on a few scenes)

also could to with tweake on the audio, as a lot of the cunts mumble.

and it's 2hrs long.

so 7/10, if they spoke clearly and didnt do that drunkcameraguy™ shit, and ditched 10-15 minutes it would be higher.

Transformers: The Last night. 3/10. I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time, splosions, fights and the odd cheesy one liner. The story was all over the place and annoyingly so. Nope. Save yer cash and watch it at a later date... best to watch when you're suffering from insomnia I would think.

...yeah...was hoping that my child-streak would be piqued but it wasn't...great visuals and noise though...forgettable...in fact I have... I hope, Despicable Me 3, lives up to its preceding couple of movies...

McLaren.

Cars. Documentary. I still really enjoyed it, mostly because Donaldson seems to have made a deliberate choice to keep anything technical out of it and keep it 100% on the people and the spirit of the times. There's quite a back story to what went on with the formation of McLaren as a racing team and as a supercar maker, they cover a lot of ground fast through the documentary... purists would want more detail but the pacing is about right for a more general audience. Tastefully done re-enactments mix with archival footage and studio interviews. The interviewees in particular stand out, there are some very serious names turning up front and center.

One word of warning - there are a couple of deaths, one of McLaren's drivers and McLaren's own fatal accident. It's one thing to be shown some newspaper headlines or scene photos, another to have interviewees who were there recounting what they saw and how they still are about it. Donaldson doesn't dwell on it, but he doesn't shy away or cover it over either.

The whole thing is probably better if you're into things petrol, track and speed, so I'll split the ratings:

General audience: 7 / 10

Motorsport fans: 9 / 10

Well worth catching while it's still on at the movies.

Aye, looking forward to Despicable Me too.
