The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)


Podd watched this as she'd been meaning to for ages and hadn't. But now she has. She quite enjoyed it.

Whisky Galore (2016)


Fluffy inoffensive remake of older fluffy inoffensive film.




Good Time (2017)


Some reviewers loved this, some thought it was painfully overacted, unlikely, overlong tedious bumwash. They were right.


Arse/10


24 Hours To Live (2017)


Ethan Hawke shoots lots of people in South Africa.

Handy as that country has definitely suffered from a lack of strife since its formation.



Wind River (2017)


Professional squashyface man, Jeremy Renner, helps a lady solve a crime in a snowy part of America. Probably Florida. Big gunfight at the end. Which if you like gunfights, is definitely one of the better ones I've seen in a long time. Not sure the physics were based in reality, but very dramatic stuff.



Atomic Blonde (2017)


A tall lady in silly clothes kicks the bollocks out of lots of German people in a pretend version of thirty years ago.



Badder Ben: The Final Chapter (2017)


The third film in the 'Ben' series. The first was a decent effort. Literally a YouTube level project done by one fella in his house with impressive coherence and some good chills.

The second was weaker and a little boring.

This one's milking the good will too much. Shame.

That said, I'd rather sit through a thousand amateur efforts with a little passion and fun in them, like this, than the huge majority of high budget shite... Etc., I've said all this before too many times.
