Mr. Bean's Holiday 2007 - imdb

 

This was the only remaining DVD in my Dad's possession when he passed away last month, so I watched it.

I've always 'Bean' a fan of this character, I grew up with watching him in the named TV show.

 

As good as I remembered it to be, although I kept expecting it to be Rat Race (imdb)...

Still, one for the archive and worth a watch if you've not seen it.

6/10

STAR TREK 2009 - imdb

 

I surprised myself by how much I enjoyed this. I'm not a fan of star wars/trek by any means, however Simon Pegg commented while on a talkshow saying he enjoyed playing the part in Star Trek.

Not that I'm a fan of Pegg either, but I thought it must have had a humorous side to it, so I went looking to watch it. I'm glad I did, and I've already purchased Star Trek - Into Darkness (imdb).

Lilo & Stitch 2002 - imdb

 

This was my girlfriend's favourite movie when we first started dating 10 years back. For some reason, I didn't enjoy the movie.

I think I was a bit dismissive of cartoon shows at that point, but did enjoy the likes of Shrek (imdb), Monsters Inc (imdb), Finding Nemo (imdb) and even Shark Tale (imdb).

 

We both sat down and watched this together again and surprisingly I did enjoy it. Tastes change over time or something.

7/10

Predestination (2014)

 

7/10

 

snipped your spoiler

 

Well that is the paradox isn't it

:)

I LOVED Predestination. It was a solid time travel movie.

It didn't baby you with the story. It didn't TELL you anything it just SHOWED you and let you work it out yourself. I LOVED THAT!

 

As for Interstellar. Visually it was beautiful but I found the story rather boring. It was just a generic time travel movie in the end, I was hoping for more from Nolan.

Interstellar wasn't a time travel movie. 

 

Yes it was.

 

Coop used the tesseract to send the co-ordinates back to his past self. If he didn't do that he wouldn't be in the tesseract as he would never have gone to the secret NASA location. Thus there is a time travel/bootstrap paradox.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten about that bit. Still not sure I'd define the whole movie as a time travel flick based on that one point though.

The reason I classify it as a time travel movie is because the whole movie builds around this mysterious "ghost" that is leaving binary patterns in the dust and on the hand of her watch which is all done via time travel bootstrapping from "the fifth dimension" that was created by the "future" humans. 

 

Not to mention

the whole 'they are us from the future' thing is another time travel bootstrap mechanic in that how did those future humans survive the "blight" without knowing how to manipulate time and space like they are teaching us by creating the tesseract.

. ###### is crazy but still just a time travel movie. 

American Sniper (2014)

 

7/10

 

I was a little bit disappointed to be honest. I expected more from Eastwood. It's miles away from the best war movies like Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now and such. Imo Fury was a better movie about war than this. American Sniper is not bad. It's relatively well directed and well acted specially Cooper. Action sequences are nicely done. But i found the movie to be soulless. I did not care about Kyle and Taya relationship because it did not look like they loved each other that much until the end. The movie focused way too much on Kyle too. We don't know much about the other guys and frankly i did not care about them they were just like a bunch of jersey fillers. Movie was not really grim either. We see a bunch of people getting killed by snipers but outside of that i think the emotion of those moments is not very well portrayed anyway not as well as other war movies. I dunno maybe the movie just did not work for me or I've seen to much war movies but i was like oh **** a kid just got killed cause his mom is crazy and gave him a grenade ... ok well who cares it sure looks like the guys don't that much? Even in Fury were half the guys really did not give a **** i felt like the bad things that happened were more tragic. Anyway not bad but a disappointment to me.

Creep

 

1.5/5

 

Incredibly frustrating found footage "horror" movie.

Honestly I was just getting angrier and angrier while watching it.

I really just cannot believe an individual can be so dumb/naive/gullible/helpless/

I am perplexed as to how it has scored so high on Rotten Tomatoes.

I liked the main actors character as well. That is the reason I gave it 1 point.

I gave it the other .5 as the first half hour seemed promising, and it just all went downhill into "only a dumb ass white person would do this" territory.

Terminator Genisys.

 

As a film that doesn't take itself too seriously I really did have a good laugh in a few places.  The CGI was spotty at best, the story .. well .. I never found it, and the majority of the acting very woody.  However, if you're a fan of the other Terminator films you'll get a kick out of it.

Yeah Spy was a lot better than I expected. I enjoyed the twists also.

It may be my dislike of overly American humour in films [no offence meant] but to me Spy was just pants

Terminator Genisys.

Given they said that the animatrons needed a "CPU processor" to become live I thought it rather odd that they risked taking Arnie was taken into the installation

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters - 10/10

 

I saw this for what I believe was the fourth time last night. Despite the fact that this has been edited into telling a story rather than being 100% truthful, it's still mind blowing how out of this world some of these characters are. Every second line from the movie is quotable.

 

Not only is it one of my favorite documentaries, it's one of my favorite movies in general. Remarkably enjoyable way to spend 80 minutes.

    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
