Someone should tell Trump that Alex Garland's film Civil War was fiction and should preferably remain as such.

A great spoof film should always have a proper, exciting plot to carry all the silliness. For this reason I think that The Naked Gun with Liam Neeson is actually better than the original.

A β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Croc (2007) Not nearly as bad as the IMDb score suggests. I'm not really interested in the contrived idealists vs capitalists plot, but the big killer crocodile is a joy. Some kills are seriously good, and some (...

Croc is not a really good movie, but it's got good crocodile action and Michael Madsen is cool and charismatic as always. Thanks for this recommendation @purecinemapod.bsky.social !

A β˜…β˜…β˜…Β½ review of The Inspectors 2: A Shred of Evidence (2000) Really effective stolen identity thriller. With Michael Madsen in top form as the villain. Recommended by Pure Cinema Podcast and seen on YouTube.

I'm on a Michael Madsen tribute week, thanks to @purecinemapod.bsky.social and their brilliant QT-led "ten unknown gems" episode.
This is a really good thriller with Madsen at his best as the villain.

Materialists - Fantastic Four - Eddington.

I completed the Pedro Pascal challenge in just three evenings. It helps that I work in a cinema and didn't have to pay.

Book cover: An African History of Africa.

This book is pure enlightenment. An African History of Africa by Zeinab Badawi. I basically had no concept of African History other than ancient Egypt and the European history of slavery and colonialism. I'm a wiser man now. Can't recommend it enough!

A β˜…β˜…β˜…Β½ review of Belle Γ‰poque (1992) Male fantasy with a tiny dash of girl power. Entertaining, but dated, sunny Spanish romance with an adorable young Penelope Cruz.

Young Penelope Cruz and the proof that a lot has changed since 1990s film making.

A β˜…β˜…Β½ review of L.A. Takedown (1989) Heat as a cheap TV movie with all the same story beats, but mediocre acting and little human depth. Interesting for a Michael Mann completist, but if you want entertainment, just watch Heat again.

L. A. Takedown is a fascinating watch for any fan of Heat. But in every way an inferior film.

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025) Once it gets going, I was entertained throughout. The usual great stunts are there, and there are more suspense scenes than usual. All bow to Mr Cruise.

Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning is every bit as entertaining as the previous ones.
