Ghostbusters Frozen Empire
Is not shit.
It isnāt worth rushing to tour lical cinema to see it tomorrow, but after dinner itās an enjoyable romp.
Could have been a lot better but it is entertaining.
6/10 with a decent bottle of on Promotion Primitivo Puglia
I rewatched the first two Smokey and the Bandit films last weekend. I havenāt watched the third one where Jerry Reed takes over the Bandit duties, although Iām tempted.
First film is a real breath of fresh air and ages well. Thereās a bit where Jackie Gleason termporarily becomes Alf Garnett, but itās well observed and like with Alf, heās always the butt of the joke.
The cast just works great. Gleason in particular is fantastic and I suppose that is why I found myself liking the second film a bit more this time around.
However corny and dated some of the action scenes are, itās difficult in this day and age to watch the trucks vs cops scene without marvelling at just how much physical effort went into it.
Itās not as good as the first. The Bandit acts the Cuntdit for most of the film, before deciding that towing elephants with a Trans-Am was preferable to delivering them to the Republican Party.
I donāt think the film would ever get made today. Whoād want that particular courier job?
This is a love story.
It flows a storyline but who cares.
Everyone is 90 years old. Who cares.
Itās a famoly sit down, it makes you smile with happy memories.
Youāre gonna watch it.
It wont change the world but you will smile along the way.
This popped up on my Scouse box and after Philās review I settled down to watch it cos I enjoyed the original BHC movies. Lasted about 20 minutes and I have to say I must agree with M-o-M, it was utter shite. Horses for courses I guess.
Iād never heard of this, recorded it recently, itās a Ben Stiller spoof of Hollywood Vietnam war/action films. Absolutely rammed with proper belly laughs and a stellar cast including a blacked up Robert Downey Jr, tasteless in the extreme and very, very funny indeed. The tone is set early doors by a stricken and badly injured Stiller being tearfully tended to by Downey, complete with beautifully crafted standard American film dialogue. As Stiller lies there oblivious to the fact that there are only bleeding stumps where his hands used to be, he chokes as he assures Downey āā¦ and when we get home, I swear to God Iām finally going to teach you how to juggle.ā
