I have to admit that I’d never stopped to wonder why the clunky things had disappeared from the market but this film did an amusing job of explaining what went wrong. I also enjoyed the postscript that the tech geek friend who got dumped in favour of greed was the only one who made any money when everything went pear shaped. Also full of ‘I remember that!’ tech nostalgia for older viewers.

Furiosa was amazing. Just great from start to finish.
1976 Greek/British occult horror with Peter Cushing and Donald Pleasance plus supporting (mostly Greek) cast. Filmed in Greece with some spectacular scenery and nicely atmospheric sets.
It’s absolutely terrible, of course
Either 2/10 or 7/10 - mostly for Cushing - I can’t quite decide
Star Wars.

I liked it. It was but raw and well acted I thought.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
I did get that, the problem I have with it is this, the young girl is in her home country, so perhaps she was thrust into this situation rather than it being a right of passage, I dont think war time photographers as young kids just grabbed a camera and flew into the nearest war zone to take photos as a way into the industry, I could be wrong though.
Dunst should have known better as any adult would have and not taken the child, for the childs own safety.
I got the feeling Dunst had serious issues to do what she did, I got the feeling she was battling some inner demons that were materialising in this selfish notion that she wasnt responsible for the child, even though it wasnt her decision to take her along in the first place, I think she was angry at herself for something in her past.
The guy who did invite the kid was apparently drunk at the time but it did seem that dunst had more sense and should have used it.
If you like films like this I can recommend 'The Perfect Day', although there is a kid in this too, lol.
I was really struggling to find something to watch, so I took the last resort... a Liam Neeson revenge thriller.
Here he plays a Colorado snow plough driver who goes to war with drug dealers when his son is killed. The film is played as a black comedy in the tradition of Fargo... which works best when Neeson is offscreen; and thankfully that's quite a lot of the time, as there is a large and rather good supporting cast.
I realised after a few minutes that this is a remake of the Norwegian film In Order of Disappearance. I saw that a few years ago and although I don't remember all the details, I reckon the remake is at least as good. A pleasant surprise.
Comedy drama with Cate Blanchett and Billy Crudup.
Bernadette (Blanchett) is a celebrated architect who moved from LA to Seattle and seemingly can't get along with anyone. Her husband, Elgie, (Crudup) is a software engineer at Microsoft working on some mind bending AI tech.
As a family trip to Antarctica approaches, that Bernadette isn’t so lit up about, she starts to unravel forcing her husband to intervene.

Easy watching chick flick with Kelsey Grammar and Kristen Bell.
Rachel (Bell) is a driven workaholic and on her wedding day not only does she get jilted at the altar (because hubby to be realises work will always be #1 priority) but her father, Harry (Grammar), who she hasn't seen in over 25 years, turns up to witness the spectacle.
Harry takes Rachel out to reconnect and the get blind drunk together and the next morning they wake up in a suite of a cruise ship that was meant to be for Rachel's honeymoon.
Forced to spend time together Harry tries to build bridges with the daughter he abandoned decades earlier, while Rachel only seems concerned with what's happening back at the office.
Bubblegum for the mind. Entertaining rather than funny, although it has its moments, and quite heartwarming in places.
6.5/10

Casino Royale
Film 2006 ITV
Hadn't seen this since it was out. It stands up. Craig's Bond is tougher, darker, moodier, more ground albeit still with superhuman physicality (the opening scene is tremendous but ridiculous). The humour isn't there which I missed a bit. No Miss Moneypenny no Q no gadgets except life saving kit in the DB9. The film flags with he gambling scenes because they are so intrinsically boring (to a non-card gambling guy like me at least). The product placement is crude (Ford group cars everywhere). The Venice finale is a bit silly and the effects looked dated, but the scenery was fabulous.
7/10
Some fun moments, but overall a pretty weak film .
