Yeah, subs are taking the piss now. Arriving on a Friday for me, while others are getting the next prog the next day?

Is it just me or is INTO THE BREACH rock hard?

I've only looked at it briefly. So far, I like it, but yes, VERY tough to get to grips with.

Given up on it. Can't beat the first level on easy. Life too short.

I've not got my prog. It has started to come on a Thursday! I want my sub back on a Saturday.

[Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle]

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle - a good cast wasted on a dreadful script filled with not-great cgi setpieces.  This is named after a 30 year old hair metal song, so it's not the first movie to be called Welcome To The Jungle and I can safely say that not only is it one of the lesser movies called Welcome To The Jungle, it's not even the best movie featuring The Rock called Welcome To The Jungle.
More like... uh... You Are Welcome To The Bloody Jungle Because It Is Shit.  Hey, they didn't put any effort into their script I don't see why I should put any effort into insulting it.

I loved this. I really loved my 7 year old loving it. I think you may not have been the targe audience.

Looks like a heart attack on a plate.

(And he should know).

[Iron Man]

Watched Iron Man (the first one) last night.

10 or 11 years old, but still fun. The plot is really simple compared to yer average superhero movie nowadays

[Alita: Battle Ange]

‪Good word of mouth overcame my resistance to some very lacklustre trailers for Alita: Battle Angel. Glad I went — it's good. Never read the manga, so have no idea how it compares, but the film is a solidly entertaining couple of hours. ‬

I enjoyed this too. Didn't know what to expect. I thought my kids would love it, but it didn't resonate with an 11 and 14 year old.

[Hereditary]

Hereditary

What a disappointment.

Ponderously dull, this two hour film meanders through a lot of nothing for the first 110 minutes before descending into cliche.

The [spoiler]decapitation[/spoiler] half an hour in is a stand out shock but, really, this is not worth your time.

It plods along giving the characters nothing to do - Gabriel Byrne is criminally wasted - and seems to mistake bass rumbling for plot development. Is there anything as lazy as a rumbling soundtrack to signpost "this is meant to be tense and/or scary"? Although that is needed here, as the writing is neither.

[IN SPACE!]

This is going to be The Lord of the Rings... IN SPACE!, right?

Got free tickets for Battle Angel Alita tomorrow... will report back

It's like Pringles. Not very good, unsatisfying and yet I keep reaching for just... one... more.

[Evil Dead]

Evil Dead Saw the one from 2013. Not seen it in years. Really like it. Not as humerous as the rest of the series, but I still got a couple of laughs out of it. Especially in some of it's more brutal moments. It does those well. I also quite like the idea it takes place during someones cold turkey. Doesn't do much with it besides a scene of greenery and sunlights towards the ending, but I still liked it. Probably has my fav post credit scene ever with Ash saying groovy in a way which makes Duke Nukem sound light. A warning. Perhaps not a film some of you should watch too late during the evening and alone. Which I did. Almost felt lucky I managed to sleep without any "interesting" dreams

The opening of this film is some supreme horror, in my view.

The play was better than the movie, but it was still good in my book. Just the whole twist thing doesn't come off as well.

Did I read too much into the twist, beyond "[spoiler]It was all a dream[/spoiler]"? Which would have multiple English teachers turning in their grave, frankly.

Bayonetta 2 plus download of first is £30 in Argos.

6. I am vehemently against a second referendum. While I voted to leave, I see a second referndum as a catastrophe for democracy. You don't like an answer, so you ask again? But if it is a remain, without a proper two step referendum (see point 3) then that is the government dictating the vote - you will keep voting until we get the answer we want. That's a banana republic rabbit hole.

I'm assuming you meant "While I voted to remain"...?

Yeah. I voted to remain. Oops
