Just watched William Tell; very disappointing. His wife is played by an Iranian. Tell has nothing in the way of a personality. Gessler doesn't look anything like Marius Goring, he's not a Landburger, and isn't even fat. Worst of all they don't even use Rossini's Lone Ranger tune, not even David Whitfield singing it at the end. Bit like going to see a Batman  film and then finding they don't use the Dinner, dinner, dinner Batman music.

A Superman. Who isn't Super. Just because it doesn't fit with MODERN AUDIENCE. Deserves to bomb. Singer made his Superman movie dull as dishwater. Synder was all doom and gloom. And now Gunn has made it woke. Donner hit the nail on the head. 40 years ago. How fucking hard can it be.?

The good news for any movie goer is. Even a giant movie studio like Warner Bro can only keep pissing away a billion dollar gambles. Before the arsehole falls out.

Haven't seen anything about it but saw there is a Supergirl in  it, so nailed on she saves Superman...

SPOILER: apparently it's Louis Lane who saves him, flying a spaceship.  That's how shit it sounds.  That review from Mike Francesa says it's 2 hours of Superman being beaten up.

I like Julia Styles and Ray RIP so I might check that out. 

Watched Gladiator 2 last night and it's the perfect example for leaving classics well alone.  Not sure what Ridley Scott was thinking!  Think I'll steer clear of the new Superman as well.

Ah, the famous fallout between Mick McCarthy and John O’Shea. I remember it well.

I'm not sure who's playing Gary Breen. One to avoid possibly . .

Watched "Honest Thief" a Liam Neeson action flick couple of nights bacik on Netflix. Pretty decent to be fair, not as good as Taken but better than some of his others. 

Quite enjoyed Ballerina a spin off from the John Wick universe but then I adore Ana de Armas.

Worth Hunting Down.

Watched The Amateur on Sunday. I highly recomend it. Sort of in the Taken/Revenge genre but one of the better ones. 

Check out Clown In a Cornfield. A better slash horror than the norm.
