It's Magic, Charlie Brown (1981)
6.4/10. An OK Peanuts special.
24th May 2022
From Russia With Love (1963)
9.5/10. A solid follow up sequel to Dr No. Sean Connery still delivers here as you'd expect with a good script and a solid cast behind him.

Batman: The Killing Joke (2016)
6/10. An OK interpretation of one of the greatest Batman stories ever written.

The Amazons (1973)
8.4/10. A fun little romp made in Italy about the annual mating ritual of the Amazons with the Greeks for the purpose of having children. It takes itself only so seriously with some humor in there. One of the funniest scenes is the first night of the mating ritual, what a hoot. Sabine Sun, director Terrence Young's wife really drives the movie. I found her an utter delight.

The Office (2005)
6/10. An OK sitcom sort of taking from the comic strip Dilbert.
2nd May 2022
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995)
6.5/10. An amusing and decent adventure fantasy comedy show.

On the Rocks (2020)
9.4/10. A fun comedic romp with Bull Murray delivering his usual great performance. Here he's matched brilliantly with Rashids Jones who proves she can be a movie's lead and not always the co-star such as previous works like I Love You Man and Our Idiot Brother. They play father and daughter trying to see if her husband's cheating on her or not. Spoiler, he's not. For me, the best part was seeing them bounce off each other. Jones and Murray just had this great chemistry you rarely see nowadays.

The Grudge (2004)
9.4/10.The kind of movie from Japan that I definitely got into. It had the right atmosphere, all chilling and with a sense of dread. If anything, it's one of the best that Sarah Michelle Gellar did. She plays every scene with a sense of almost knowing something horrendous is coming. Well done.

There's No Time for Love, Charlie Brown (1973)
6.8/10. An OK Peanuts special.
23rd Apr 2022
Orca (1977)
9.1/10. A pretty good take on Jaws only the real monster is Captain Nolan. After all, the Orca was merely swimming with his mate, unborn on the way, life looked good. Then this human monster comes along and takes everything from him. What else did he have but vengeance? I enjoyed it very much.

Rocky V (1990)
3/10. I can honestly believe Stallone saying he made this Rocky entry out of pure greed. I wish this one had Rocky finally hitting one of my Top Ten Most Hated Supporting Movie Characters Paulie. He's nothing but a bum in every movie. It has its moments like Rocky remembering Mickey. Still, it shouldn't have been made.

Wish Upon a Star (1996)
9.2/10. A slightly cheesy yet pretty funny movie early in the career of scream queen Danielle Harris when she was transitioning out of kid roles into adult stuff. Pretty funny with her getting an actual decent performance out of that ham Katherine Heigl.
19th Apr 2022
The Fall Guy (1981)
3/10. One of many forgettable cop shows trying to do Dirty Harry and failing. Heather Thomas at least brightens the show up.
19th Apr 2022
The Reluctant Astronaut (1967)
6.4/10. A pretty decent Don Knotts movie. Maybe not his best but pretty decent though I could've done without the blowhard father.
19th Apr 2022
Into the West (2005)
10/10. A thoroughly well done mini series about the settlement of the western United States. Very good with an excellent cast.
19th Apr 2022
Tomb Raider (2018)
9.2/10. Alicia Vikander's definitely Lara Croft. I enjoyed the movie thoroughly, thought she was better at being Lara Croft than Angelina Jolie. Give it a chance folks, you might like it.
18th Apr 2022
Enchanted (2007)
5.5/10. Disney's newest business plan. Copy Mad Magazine and make fun of themselves. It doesn't work here with Amy Adams being wasted in the lead role. I'll admit best casting is Susan Sarandon as the Wicked Queen.
18th Apr 2022
Super Mario Galaxy
8.9/10. An interesting Mario game that looks like a lot of fun. Just seeing it made me want to play it.
16th Apr 2022
Luigi's Mansion
9.5/10. Finally another fun game for Luigi who's one of the best sidekicks ever. He deserves it as this is a fun game and his best since Mario Is Missing.
16th Apr 2022
Mega Man X
9.5/10. One of the best of the franchise. Good story, cool graphics, good over all.
