  Deadpool & Wolverine 2024

  ★★★ Watched 05 Aug 2024

  They should have called this Deadpool, Wolverine, and the unavoidable law of diminishing returns.  

  Reynolds is funny, Jackman is badass, the story is lacking. At times the flaws can be overlooked because Ryan Reynolds singing N-Sync and Avril Lavigne is better than watching him getting licked out by the freaky baldy dog. 

  I can’t believe they make jokes about how lame the multiverse is and then hand me the most generic multiverse storyline as the backbone of this movie. 

  5 stars for music & for “The Proposal” joke.

  For fun: 3 stars 
  For real: 3 stars

  Longlegs 2024

  ★★★ Watched 05 Aug 2024

  When I think of Nicolas Cage films I often think, this is either going to be magic, or balls. Longlegs is very much about magic balls. 
  Cage plays Longlegs, a deranged, satanic serial killer come doll maker, which is as weird as it sounds. 

  There’s more loose ends than Cage’s unstuffed murder dolls. 

  We all lost sleep after watching this, and the only way to sleep was with the lights on along with prayer for sunrise. 

  
  For fun: 5 stars

  We Will Rock You 1982

  ★★★ Watched 23 Jan 2024

  An absolute bouquet of ballginas, remastered and presented in apparent HD for all you people who love metallic pop served in hot pants. 

  This is Queen at the peak of their powers, slamming through (almost) all of their hits to a lacklustre crowd who would probably go harder for a bucket of poutine and a fight at an ice rink. 

  Learnings: Roger Taylor can sing like a demon. Brian May could shred meat with his left hand. John Deacon has a bulge. Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest frontmen of all time. 

  For Fun: 4 Stars

  The Beekeeper 2024

  ★★★ Watched 15 Jan 2024

  Jason Statham plays the part of a beekeeper which is both a literal thing where he keeps actual bees and delivers honey and saccharine sweetness to his neighbours, but also a metaphorical thing referring to a special forces/government black book programme he was part of that allows him to sting people harder than Jason Bourne. Statham's neighbour gets screwed over and he goes looking for revenge. Which he gets, by the hive-full. Jeremy Irons shows up and does a job.…
