A family film for a Saturday evening?

Um.
No.
SISU
(Not the Coventry takeover saga. One man against 40 odd Nazis and all that a minefield can provide for their dismemberment)
There is humour in there but you have to look very hard

Looks like fun!! 
My best mate has recommended that I see this.
My short review is:
Machete meets Scandi Noir, glorious bloody carnage ensues. Fun for all the family 
Amazon to rent.
Jules.
What a wonderful little film.
A caring look at old age in small town America when an Alien spaceship crashes in Miltonās garden.
A budget of $100 and wonderful actors. Ben Kingsley is superb and the alien so simple yet so clever
Whimsical, sweet, caring
Close Encounters of the lonely kind

Watched Sisu today. Very silly and plenty of carnage as you rightly suggested. 
A million miles away
Second little gem in a row

The Equalizer 3.
Denzil.
This is a formulaic thriller that when i read the synopsis seemed to make no sense.
Watching it made no great sense until it all wraps together.
This is brutal violence at the beginning and end sandwiching a cliched story set in all our next dream holiday destination
And it is great.
Itās not winning any Oscars but it really is an Equalizer movie and itās (almost) worth paying to watch.
Nonsense as always.
But with a heart which makes these so watchable
I dont do gaming
Im a Netflix level F1 fan.
You could say itās a documentary drama as itās based on a true story
Gran Turismo was way off my radar.
It is a little GEM of a movie.
No spoilers. I loved it.
David Harbour utterly owns the film and makes it workk he is superb and Orlando Bloom isnāt bad.
They even dragged Gerri Halliwell Horner in.
Did i mention?
Superb little film/story
Expend4bles
The return of the 70 year oldās franchise.
It gets 4.2 on IMDB which is generous because it is absolute shit.
But
Itās an Expendables Movie, they are all shit and yet we watch them - not at a Great Escape level but we watch 300+ baddies get Matt Hancockād at a Covid enquiry and we donāt hate them.
Itās shit
It entertained me

We donāt have an IMax here in Krakow.
And Iām broke
So had to wait for my alternative streamer to host Oppenheimer.
It is worth the 3 hours of bandwidth
Well.
This must be a great film if the French hate itā¦

Netflix & Cinema.
An excellent adaptation of a graphic novel. A different feel/vibe to these types of films.
Almost deadpan, black comedy at times.
Gotta be a franchise
Just watching this now, just my type of film, the missus zoned out after about 2 minutes 
Iāve been on something of an 80s trip recently. I keep searching for things on YouTube, find out that YouTube actually has the film and end up buying it.
One I didnāt have to buy is the gloriously awful No Retreat No Surrender, which is so wonderfully shit that itās available in full with no copyright holders striking it down. Apart from Jean Claude Van Dammeās exertions, everything about this film is third rate or worse. The characters are so offensively written it borders on hilarious. Case in point RJ, which was obviously the film writersā idea of what an African American teenager would look, speak and act live. Despite being completely shit, it has my full recommendation. Youāll laugh at the film rather than with it.
Moving slightly up the quality stakes, I also watched The Wraith, the Charlie Sheen teen film where he plays the titular character. I watched this a few years ago and didnāt think it held up much, but out of all the films in this list, I think it could get remade easily for todayās market. Itās a valiant effort involving a lot of cars and heart, but itās only got about four people in it that can act. Otherwise, I gave this one a better internal rating this time around.
Finally, for now, Iāll mention Better Off Dead, a John Cusack teen movie that would almost never get made today, despite slavishly following the structure of a typical teen film. What makes it a bit different is that our lead character contemplates suicide for humourous effect. Whatās cool about this film is that it paints in a lot of its own unique details, featuring some memorable characters and situations. There are good running gags, such as Cusackās mother being the worst cook in the world, his silent brother being a secret genius or the two Japanese lads who try to race him throughout. Itāll rarely have you laughing out loud and youāll win no prizes for guessing the plot. But it will charm you.
