Project Hail Mary; a solid adaption of the book; and enjoyable enough, although clearly Ryan Gosling has ZERO idea about how glasses should be worn; the way they were hanging off his face for half the movie I actually found quite distracting...

8/10

Amazing stuff.

Currently three quarters of the way through this.
Really, really enjoying it.

Send Help (2026)

Dark Comedy/Action/Thriller

When two business colleagues (Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien) become stranded on a deserted island as the only survivors of a plane crash, they must overcome past grievances and work together to stay alive. But they’re not in the office anymore, and an unsettling, wryly humorous battle of wills and wits begins in this original, darkly comedic psychological thriller.

Loved this film. A good mix of action, comedy, drama and suspense. Rachel McAdams is an actress that you just get used to see popping up in lots of movies without really assessing her performance, because, to me, she is always excellent.

Along with Dylan O'Brien (Maze Runner) as her castaway companion, she manages to pull off a real Jekyll and Hide performance here. I just wish that

they had fleshed out the ending a little more

but apart from that, I was well entertained, and I am pleased to give the film a score of 8/10

GOAT 8/10

A small goat with big dreams gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot to join the pros and play roarball, a high-intensity, co-ed, full-contact sport dominated by the fastest, fiercest animals in the world.

We thoroughly enjoyed this animated movie of Daniel and Goliath characters. Well animated, with a good story line and character development.

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Predator Bad Lands 7.5/10

Kept putting off watching this, wish I watched it sooner. Read a lot of comments about it's not a true Predator movie and I can see why people say that but if anything I think it gave it its charm. Not all Predators are going to be the same. Elle Fanning was a good watch, didn't know what to expect there but she surprised me. It was a good watch.

War Machine 6/10 Netflix

Follow the final recruits of a gruelling special ops boot camp who encounter a mysterious deadly force.

Very mediocre movie, plot has been done before. Alan Ritchson of Reacher TV series and Fast franchise. Well, I enjoyed his first Reacher series but gave up after that. He is a B-grade in my book. Dennis Quaid is paying off alimony or large loans in this movie, and he has not aged at all well. The rest, all younger of course, do a fair job with the script they got. Special effects are nothing to write home about. All the outside filming was in Queenstown NZ, with main production in Victoria Australia including RAAF base Williams.

Mike + Nick + Nick + Alive (on Disney+)

Time travelling gangster heist with Vince Vaughan and James Marsden.

Ok way to pass the time - some weird and out of place but mildly funny scenes and lines. Reminds of the "old" comedy flicks like Games Night, Harold & Kumar, Horrible Bosses etc... but with gangsters and guns.

The thing I don't like about predator movies are jump scares. Is it heavy in that area?

I agree with most of your comments, and I would score it the same, 6/10. But, I did have a great time with the soundtrack. Anyone with a decent sound system will have a ball with this Dolby Atmos track, it's intense. Looks like there may be a sequel.

Nah not at all. A bit different to the rest this one.

How to Make a Killing 6/10

Disowned at birth by his obscenely wealthy family, a blue-collar will stop at nothing to reclaim his inheritance, no matter how many relatives stand in his way.

A very Ho Hum movie. It can not make up its mind whether it is a serious thriller, comedy thriller or I don't know what. The lead, Glen Powell, I forgot he had a very cheesy grin. I believe he was/is even considered for the next James Bond - Hope Not.

Any way don't rush to see it.
