Relax, I'm from the Future (2022)
Brilliantly done
Ok, there's going to be a bunch of people who hate this film, but to be honest, it's got "cult film in the making" qualities, and this will be watched for years to come.
It's proper quirky and deals with the whole time travelling meddler in a fresh new way. I don't want to give anything away, so I wont.
There's fresh faces in this, no big named actors that have been in a thousand things, which is refreshing in every way. The humour is tinged in just the right amount of darkness, which is great but understated.
After watching lots of 'mainstream' films recently, this little gem was an absolute relief to watch.
Genie (2023)
Horrible remake ...
... from the moment the genie appears, it goes downhill fast. The only redeeming feature was the husband and his boss. After sitting through this abomination, I grabbed the BBC original with Lenny Henry as the genie, which is what I should have done in the first place! Hollywood just can't do comedy, as their version of the art is just lost. It always seems that Hollywoods version of humour involves being louder and shouting "I'm being funny" and then waiting for the canned laughter. I have to admit that cummings was good as the boss with no ethics, which was originally played by Rowan Atkinson, AKA the Black Adder. If you can, get the original, I much better use of your time.
