05/17 Bokeh (2017)

Two young Americans go on holiday to Iceland. One morning they wake up and the entire world's population has disappeared.

Apart from a bit of fun, they mostly mope about wishing everyone else was back rather than having a fucking blast of a time.

If I was in their situation, I would balance structure and fun to ensure I lived well in the absence of services and people we depend on but never got bored in this quieter world. My average week would go:

Monday - Naked food shopping for the week ahead.

Tuesday - House firebombing.

Wednesday - A nice nap.

Thursday - Drink driving.
Well, what difference will it make? 140mph in a 20mph zone... Nobody around to accidentally catapult into a building or anything. Although no one to high-five afterwards would be disappointing.

Friday - Shouting in libraries.

Saturday - Day at the beach.


Sunday - Roast dinner. Mostly tinned stuff.

04/17 Prevenge (2016)

.A pregnant woman, under the spoken instructions of her unborn child, kills a number of people.

In fairness, they mostly deserve it.

Foetuses: wiser than you assume!

Hope the writer/director/star, Alice Lowe, does more horror. Got a knack for it.

Murderbaby/10


04/17 Time After Time (1979)

.H.G. Wells goes into the distant future of 1979 to catch Jack The Ripper.

Jolly good fun it is too.

7.7/10


04/17 Split (2017)

We watched this again as Podd didn't see it first time round.


Professor X's academy for gifted children had really small, dungeon-y beginnings.

7+/10




04/17 Small Crimes (2017)

.A bent, former addict and alcoholic disgraced plodcop gets out of prison and stumbles right back into the trouble that bollocksed his life up previously.
Has a supporting role from 'Plop fave Macon Blair.
Not too bad at all.

7.84/10


04/17 Sand Castle (2017)

.Film about soldiers in the 2nd Iraq war and what a pointlessly fucking pointless waste of everything, clusterwank it turned out to be.

Well, we knew that.

Still, it's well acted, the inevitable action scenes are decently action-y and we wasn't bored.

7.4/10


04/17 Ronin (1998)

.Crime film set in Paris. We spent most of the time wondering what French car would break down first.

7/10
