[Spoiler Alert] Film reviews and ratings

Watched that running with the devil or whatever its called on Netflix, decent cast and no bad for what it is, only on for like an hour and a half so worth a watch.

 

Nope. Utter *, put it off after about 20 minutes. Acting dreadful too.

 

Dune 2 Trailer out..looks better than snooze fest Dune 1 lol

 

Mario Bros Movie

This was genuinely dreadful. One of those movies actually feel dumber for having sat right through it. Have no idea about the game, but as a movie, this was just awful.

Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves

This was actually a lot of fun. A real throwback to fantasy adventure. Shame not more people caught it at the movies as its unlikely to go any further but for what it was, I enjoyed it.

 

I didn't mind Dune but the Mrs wants to go and see the second part in the cinema. Not sure I could face being in the cinema that long.

 

Yeah long films are defo better home based with currys, drinks, and bog breaks!

 

Just watched 2 Guns again on Netflix. Good cheesy popcorn fun 6.7/10

 

Out today (or even last week!) - Last round of The Guardians

 

It's been out since Wednesday.

 

Lol..the trailer ends with today's date!

 

'We Felt The World Of GAA Was Ripe To Have A Film About It'



From the opening scenes of Lakelands, the milking parlour, to the GAA club dressing room and training session, to the nightclub, the world feels real. As it should. Patrick McGivney and Robert Higgins - the writers and directors - inhabited that life.

The milking parlour scene was shot on McGivney's family farm, both played football with Granard (McGivney at senior level until his recent retirement - get a few drinks into him, and he'll do a u-turn) and they queued for the Spiral Tree in Longford.

It is outside the nightclub - the fictional version is set in Cavan - that the seminal moment of the film happens when protagonist Cian Reilly (played by Éanna Hardwicke) is attacked and suffers a concussion.

A key member of the St Mary's Granard team who played a bit with the county (though not this year, "It's all politics in there," he tells Seamus O'Rourke's lotto ticket-hawking Mulherne), Cian begins to feel pressure to return too quickly. They need him for a league game against Killoe. Cian's identity begins a crumble as it becomes evident his football career is over.

Usually, dramas centred on small towns feature characters longing to get out. Though there is escapism through drinking and drug use, it's not the case in Lakelands, certainly not with Cian, who is content playing football and working on his father's dairy farm.

"People go away and they think they're different to the people who stayed," Cian tells Grace (played by Danielle Galligan), a nurse working in England who has returned to Granard to look after her ill father.

"It grates on us a small bit when you see these rural characters - not only in Ireland but globally - depicted as people who are yearning to leave and searching for the big city, the high life," McGivney tells Balls.

"That's not the reality we know. We're very proud to be from where we're from. Everyone that lives there is proud to be from Granard and from Longford. We just wanted to write a character (Cian) who was proud in the extreme, almost. It kind of goes into a negative place. He's nearly too insular.

New Star Wars incoming.....

 

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 3

Good way to go out on. Emotional at times, not always for the right reasons. Unlike most of the MCU (have caught most at least once), the GOTG movies are one that I have invested in and therefore have sat through multiple times. So all things considered can't complain how this branch of the MCU is signing off.

That said, this is rated 12A, but really it should be a 15. So be aware if planning on watching with kids, because there are more than a few scenes that could be pretty upsetting for younger viewers or those easily disturbed.

 

Genuinely loved D&D. Super Mario was nostalgic, I guess. That was about the most I got from it.

GOTG Volume III was great. Probably up there with Shang Chi as the best Disney/Marvel film since End-Game. Bar wasn't set very high, admittedly.

 

"Switchblade Romance". Aka *High Tension"
A good crazy French film, with a twist.

 

Watched Dungeons and Dragons with my kids.....Was surprised how good this was tbh...very fun and not to silly that its just for kids.

7/10

 

The Pope's Exorcist. Was alright, thought it got better as it went on. Similar to a lot of these demonic type horrors but was watchable.

 

Evil dead rise. Still as gory as ever and a decent watch.

 

Watched the newest scream loved it bonus points for the amount of good looking females in it
