  You'll Never Get Rich 1941

  ★★★ Rewatched 29 Mar 2025

  A light hearted romantic comedy where the plot just about keeps your attention. 

  A balding Fred Astaire and a beautiful Rita Hayworth shouldn’t work; their chemistry when dancing however, is wonderful.

  Alien: Romulus 2024

  ★★ Watched 28 Mar 2025

  As an Alien sequel - i hated it.

  As a sci-fi slasher/monster movie with a cast of really annoying British chavs - it’s fine and quite good fun. Couldn’t care for any of the characters.

  B&W, trains and a heist - enough said.

  Ninja 2009

  ★★½ Watched 26 Mar 2025

  Pretty much what I was expecting…boring plot but plods along nicely. Wooden acting including Adkins and shoddy script. 

  The action is frequent, well choreographed and looks great. There’s even a cool fight scene on a subway train - so I’ve got to like it a little bit.

  Probably the most Jean Claude Van Damme film that Adkins has done and if this came out 20 years earlier it would probably be more popular.

  It’s not great, but it’s not bad.
