The Grandmaster

"Siberia" (with Keeanu Reeves).

Plot: Russian mobsters, diamonds, sex, Russian mobsters, sex, bearhunting, South African mobsters, fsb, sex, shootout, the end. Wasn't what i thought it would be, but hey, it was cheap. Faaaaar away from being on par with "John Wick".

Dumb and Dumber
So funny

"The Perfect Host"

A schizophrenic Niles Crane gets a visit from a bankrobber, goes from a house invasion to a hostage situation with an unexpected plot twist at the end. (I miss Frazier...)

Peter Rabbit

funny, I liked it

Fall Of The Krays

Sequel to Rise Of The Krays, as you might expect. Same actors, director, production team, etc. Not bad, but I became somewhat irritated as this progressed - why was so little effort put into making the actors visually resemble the people they were portraying? It's not that difficult....

And why couldn't they be bothered to get basic details right? For example, the Krays were arrested at Cedra Court in Upper Clapton, not Vallance Road in Bethnal Green, for heaven's sake....

Aquaman.. Jason Momoa was great in it.

But please get him out of Dune. I doubt his acting ability can handle a role like Duncan Idaho.

Halloween 2018

Watching any Halloween film can never be as scary as watching the original in 1978 because the techniques used that were then new then we have seen used over and over again for 4 decades. Still it was nice to see John Carpenter direct and Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle reprise thier roles

What took away a lot from me was a lot of implausability. There is no why in real life they would decide to transfer a killer on the 40th anniversary of his spree. With a few execptions this film could have been set in 1978 instead of 2018. If they did transhim and he subsequently escaped into the same town and renewed his killing spree there would have been livestreaming, it would be wall to wall coverage on the cable news channels yet in the film very few of the teens had cell phones and most everybody was blissfully unaware.

Are We there yet?
funny

The Krays: Dead Man Walking (2018)

Deals with the Kray twins' plot to help Frank Mitchell, the so-called 'Mad Axeman', escape from Dartmoor jail in December 1966. The plan is initially successful, but Mitchell soon becomes a problem while he's kept in a 'safe house', and he ends up being murdered.

The film is pretty awful in just about every respect.

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. Not quite as good as the first one, but still solid and easily enjoyable.
