Sweet Tooth (2021)
Death by artificial sweetener
Is this the future of teenage science fiction?
COMPLETE suspension of disbelief or logic??
Recycling, preserving the environment, every ethnic group represented when 1% of society survives?

Greenland (2020)
I watched it so you don't have to.
Gave this two stars for the special effect of pretending this isn't 20+ years too late.
Everything else is turgid terrible and frustratingly awful.
I watched this so you don't have to I want those two hours of my life back, you owe me Gerard Butler.
Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)
Neither developed or enriched
I find myself falling into the comfort of sequels for the simple reason that I enjoyed the first because I enjoy the characters and the format of storytelling. For a short time i was amusing.
I then, too often these days just, find myself watching a sequel where all of the familiar characters are here, there are cameos (of varying quality), they learnt very little from the original process and ultimately I am viewing the circumstances where a finacier paid an amount of money for people, who enjoyed himself to get together and recycle the same, but to less effect. This is less then it should because it had an opportunity to expand the story to a country, if not a continent, if not a world.
Never mind *shrug*
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
No beginning .... no middle ... just an end
I will be short and to the point.
Don't bother with the rest of film just fast forward to the last 10 minutes Everything before that............*phhhffff*
Bulletproof (2018)
Noel Clarke, do you feel me bruv?
Noel Clarke has managed to create a career where he generates star products for himself, that he acts, writes and produces. The problem that we have though is that Noel Clarke has no talent in any of those areas.
The Lady Vanishes (1979)
When remakes don't work
Bless! Angela Lansbury does Miss Marple, Herbert Lom does a mean Commissioner, Elliot Gould does bemused, slightly out of my depth and Cybil Shepherd does screwball, totally out of my depth. Set events and direction are woeful. Classicly classless awful.
Bodyguard (2018)
Fine .... Fine... Fine... What?!?!
Few words. Acted well, until man wears suicide jacket.
The Unforgiven (1960)
Difficult to watch with adult eyes
Not a usual one for these but, having caught it on a TCM matinee, and remembering and enjoying as a child, decided to watch again. Wish I had not.
How can you go wrong with Lancaster and Hepburn as your leads in a strong moral tale from 1960, but is it?
Synopsis, Man old enough to be her father (Burt), having grown up with her as a sister (Audrey) his entire life ultimately wishes to marry her.
So devoted to his lust/love he will wreck his families relationship with lifelong friends, endanger his own family, force his child brother to commit murder in order to prove loyalty to his family, refuse to even allow a reasonable request from a brother to meet his natural sister, allow his mother to knowingly hang a truthful man, affect his "sister" that she developed Stockholm syndrome and kills her own natural brother to prove loyal. *Gasps for breath*
Know I am left wondering is he the hero of the piece?
Should have consigned to my past.
On the plus side The Searchers rocks.
