Thought one of the blokes in this was Rasmus Hardiker, which would have meant there were *two* Coogan sidekicks in it. For at least the first 45 minutes I couldn’t tune in on this. And maybe I never *quite* did. But after a set piece involving a big rock it had won me over. Parasite does a good job of having you feel on the side of the characters, even when they’re ‘up to no good’ whereas this lot are harder to like (especially when yelling) but do sort of come into focus when they start to look out for one another. Liked the dream sequence.

The Monkey 2025
My heart sank a little when the first death was such a damp squib. Listen: whatever this film is trying to do? That tone and those gimmicks? I’m down for that. But. And it breaks my heart to say it, Oshood just doesn’t have the juice to pull it off. The film never finds a groove between set-pieces and never really cooks in the set pieces (they’re all basically the same splash of CGI red). Some good lines and performance but… this should have been The Simpsons does Final Destination. And they gave me Family Guy does Final Destination. Main guy even sounds like the dog.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning 2023
It's deffo lacking something but I think that last one was too? (I can't remember much about it tho). Something *has* gone a bit wrong with Tom's face. He can't quite do the lighter moments anymore, the self deprecating bits or when he's so cool it's supposed to be funny. The eyes won't light up and the grin seems too strained. He sort of looks like he's tryna to hide a hangover a lot of the time. I also literaly…

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny 2023
lol, I liked it. I came in with a lot of goodwill and I think it rewarded that. I liked Ford and the villain had good presence (but lacked a real comeuppance). The action isn’t anything to get excited about tho some of it has a sense of sprightly fun that made me smile. I have a lot of affection for this character and this film played on that but that’s ok.
