03/09/19 Fun With Dick And Jane (2005)
"Fun" is a strong word to use in this film's title. Still, it was watchable enough in a lightweight kinda way. It tries for mild satire, but instead bimbles around the suggestion that happiness only comes through money.
Nevermind, soon enough the nuclear fire will put an end to such thinking.

03/09/19 X-Men: Days Of Future Past (2014)
Slightly less bollocks than some of the others in the series, but still bollocky old shite. Podd hadn't seen it before, so sat through it again.
03/09/19 The Head Hunter (2018)
Set in medieval land of Pretendyshire, a large, heavily scarred bearded fellow lives in a cabin and occasionally goes when the sound of a horn from the local castle beckons him.
"Well, I've got the horn. Best go out and do something about it."
Anyway, when he hears the call it means there's a message for him, a scroll around an arrow shot from the castle, which shows him which monster is currently putting the locals in peril. He goes off to kill the beast, take its head and return to his cabin.
Some years before, one of the monsters made it personal so he waits for the message telling him that monster has returned.
Much better than I make it sound. It's a downbeat, almost dialogue free film about the restlessness of living for revenge and little else.
Made for peanuts but looks great, it has a presence that films costing 100 times as much could only dream of having.
7.5/10

01/09/19 Eat Locals (2017)
Low budget British vampire comedy. Manages to wedge in a few chuckles that actually work and I've seen worse.

01/09/19 Erial (2016)
Spanish zombie nonsense about a smallholder (who's main crop appears to be, I dunno, dusty bits of fence and shit?) who wakes up and blah, blah, blah zombies/strange science and all that.
Apparently filmed in five days without a script.
Which, I'm gonna guess, included one of those famous Spanish four day lunch-breaks.
That's not to say it's completely charmless though, and the central character can act.

30/08/19 Dark Phoenix (2019)
What should've just been 90 minutes of the Hank McCoy/Beast character being all polite and brainy/acrobatically ripping the faces off goons, was instead a dreary 1hr50m of mostly boring twaddle which offer an even more tepid version of a previous X-film's plot.
Supposedly the last of the X Men films, yet I see there's one called X-Force currently in production, so, like Brexit, British Winters, my sense of workplace misery and any journey on public transport, this series appears never to end.
Even though it should have a long time ago.
Meh.
