The Report

I saw this on Prime Video - it stars Adam Driver as a senate staffer who starts working on a report on request of a senator, to investigate the goings-on behind the scenes of how intelligence was gathered post 9/11 by the CIA. He starts out idealistic but soon starts uncovering the methods which were used and the cover-up by various elements of the government. Based on true events - found it very interesting. The amount of stuff that is happening in the background in every government even right now I'd say would make us all gasp, most of it all under the pretence of "keeping citizens safe"

Gemini Man - cloned spy action movie starring Will Smith. This one started off fairly well but got stupider and stupider as it went on.

Law Abiding Citizen. I love a good revenge movie but this one is utter nonsense.

 

[Son Of Jack]

Ghostbusters 2. Decent ghost-busting action is ruined by the terrible ending.

Jumanji: The Next Level - better than the original reboot. Really liked the new additions.

 

[Son Of Jack]

Ant-man and the Wasp. A load of enjoyable nonsense.

The One and Only Ivan.

I enjoyed it, the wife and the wee one were howling watching it. Typical of Disney films just now, give you the story, really sad bit, builds you back up and gives you sad/happy bit to finish on

 

[Bandit]

Shazam.

A newly fostered young boy in search of his mother instead finds unexpected superpowers and soon gains a powerful enemy.

Bought this on Google the other night looking for something light to watch and it didn't fault. It was predictable to an extent but was funny and easy to watch. I thought Zachary Levi was great at playing a teen in an adults body and Mark Strong is always solid.

I, Tonya, starring Margot Robbie and Joy, starring Jennifer Lawrence

Two great performances in two great films, with very similar stories.

My take from both films (the former in particular) is: if you have talent, avoid hanging around with idiots.

The Princess Bride. This is a film that just looks better and better with time. A true masterpiece of parody and satire that is also the best of the genre it pokes fun at.
