I want to know this ? what colour?...................................................................

Yesterday was the day when I decided to go watch the new Venom movie. I saw the teaser trailer a long time ago, and I wasn't really interested. But then when the first real trailer dropped, it peaked my interest.

The story is pretty straight forward: An investigative journalist, Eddie Brock, comes across a plot to fuse symbiotes from outer space with humans. The result is unknown, but has the potential to create life that will be able to live on Mars or even on the Moon. Not a bad thing, if I am honest.

Anyway, back to the movie!

It soon becomes clear, that these experiments has a somewhat unfortunate effect on people, because it ends up killing them. But not Eddie. It somehow bonds with him, and it transforms him into the character Venom.

I will not go into more detail, since it is still running in the cinemas, so if I go further, I will just spoil the movie for you, which isn't cool to do!

Usually when I review movies, I have three boxes that HAS to be ticked, in order for me to enjoy it!

1: Explosions! And lots of them!

2: At least one fist fight.

3: Car chases!

Venom ticks all those boxes! It has plenty of fist fights, some amazing chase sequences and a lot of explosions! Like - a LOT! Kaboom! One of them in particular made my inner 5-year old come out and go "awesome!"

It is rated PG 13, which shows. It uses a fair amount of humor, particularly the scene where Venom talks to Eddie for the first time, and when Eddie displays Venom's appearance to a neighbor who plays the guitar just a bit tooo loud.

Regarding the acting, well there is really not anything I can say was bad. I am not a Tom Hardy fan, but I liked him in this one. Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed and Reid Scott also does a great job! I was particularly happy with Riz Ahmed's performance as Carlton Drake!

All in all, it was a solid, entertaining movie from Sony, and you can tell Marvel had a big say in this one. It said "In association with Marvel", but I bet that they had more to to with it than they let on.

If you haven't seen Venom, now is the time to do so.

I shall give this an 8 out of 10!

It has been one of my secret likings lately.

I don't get this african american community portrayed on these shows.
They really are making their own kind of hell.

I had a very good day yesterday. For the first time in about three months, I was happy. Smiling from ear to ear, laughing and generally feeling good about myself - and, of course, I saw the new Star Wars, with K.

She decided the time we were supposed to meet, and then we both had a fantastic time during the movie. I loved it, but some of the things in the movie, was a bit.. Rushed, I felt. K felt the same, but all in all, it was a success. There is this new character in the movie called Babu Frik, and he is possibly the cutest thing ever! During the previews, we were treated to a 6 minute sneak-peek to the new movie Tenet. It looks fantastic! K and I both agreed, that we were going to have to watch that. Of all the previews we saw, three stood out: The new Bond film, the new Top Gun and Tenet. All three in IMAX. It's gonna be expensive, but worth it.

Now, this wouldn't be a successful trip to the cinema, without me buying too much. I decided to get some pick-n-mix, because surely that would be eaten during the movie.

It didn't. Did it get eaten before the movie? No. Did I even eat most of it? No. I barely touched it. This is what happens when we go and see exciting movies! We are too busy watching the screen, to be eating popcorn, candy or other things. But - at least I have some for tomorrow or tonight.

What rating would I give Star Wars? A solid 8.

I admit, I haven't been playing a lot of Pokémon, when I was younger. I had a Gameboy with one of the Pokémon games, but I never played it more than 10 minutes at a time. Then, Niantic released Pokémon GO, a game for your smartphone, where you hunt for Pokémon in the real world. It was insanely popular, so it felt only fitting for a live action Pokémon movie to be made.

The movie follows Tim, a young man who discovers that his father, Harry, is missing, presumed dead. He heads to Ryme City to finish up some things, when he meets Pikachu. A witty detective, who is looking for Harry. Tim and Pikachu can understand each other, but nobody else can. All they hear, when Pikachu is talking, is "pika pika pika", which makes Tim freak out. Understandably.

He meets Lucy, a young reporter, also looking for Harry, which makes her the third person in this movie to do so. Together, they embark on an adventure, filled with thrills and extreme danger, that concludes in a chilling fact.

The lead role as Tim is played by Justice Smith, last seen in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Pikachu is voiced by Ryan Reynolds, and Lucy is played by Kathryn Newton. Other actors on the list include Bill Nighy, Ken Watanabe and Suki Waterhouse.

The budget of this live action Pokémon movie was 150 million dollars, and it made 135 million dollars in the US. The total worldwide box office haul was 397 million dollars. Sadly, the movie was a financial flop, since it didn't make back the budget in the US.

Now, being that I don't know most Pokémon, and that I don't really know how each Pokémon should behave, I went into the film with low expectations. I have heard from people, who know the lore of Pokémon, that it was a great movie, so I was excited to see if they were right - and they were.

It's an impressive looking film. One scene had me going "Wow, that was amazing!". It is a movie aimed at kids, but adults will have a great time as well. I know I did!

8/10!

The other day we got about a 3" (7-8 CM) snowfall. I turned on the TV and got an error message saying something like "searching for satellite". After waiting about 5 minutes with nothig happening, I went outside and looked up on the roof and sure enough, the Direct TV dish was covered in snow. I went back inside and flipped a couple of Co-Ax switches and plugged in the little power inserter, took all of about a minute and Bam, I have about 15 channels to watch from the antenna I bought & mounted on my chimney.

Last weekend, my mother asked me and my siblings, if we wanted to watch Bohemian Rhapsody. I immediately said yes, because I enjoy Queens music, and the trailer looked absolutely amazing, and full of the biggest Queen hits.

We picked today, and I pretty much just got home from the cinema.

So how is it? Would it rock me? Or would I go "another one bites the dust"?

In short: It was absolutely amazing!

The film stars Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury, the legendary performer and artist, who sadly died at the age of 45. The promotion material started coming when I worked in the cinema, and the posters had an image of Malek as Freddie. I remember thinking "Hang on, is that the real Freddie?", because it really looked like him. But no, it was Rami Malek.

Other actors incluce: Lucy Boynton as Mary Austin, Gwilym Lee as Brian May, Ben Hardy as Roger Taylor, Joseph Mazzello as John Deacon, Aiden Gillen as John Reid and Mike Myers as Ray Foster.

So what is it about? In short: It is about Freddie's adult life from his beginning in Queen, to the now legendary performance at the 1985 Live Aid from Wembley Stadium in London. The run time on this biopic is 2 hours and 14 minutes, and it is a treat for any Queen fan, no matter the age. Sensitive people will probably look away as Freddie's bi/homosexuality is shown, but that is necessary to be shown, since it wouldn't do Freddie justice if it was left out.

How is Rami as Freddie? It's a tough man to play, particularly since he was such a flamboyant guy. I am happy to report, that Rami absolutely nailed the mannerisms and the look of Freddie. It is easily the best performance I have seen this year. I am blown away at just HOW much he looks like Freddie. Gwilym Lee looks exactly like Brian May, which is extremely scary to see. Ben Hardy did a great job as Roger Taylor, and Joseph Mazzello (yes, Tim from Jurassic Park) did a great job as John Deacon.

If you watch some live footage of Queen, and watch the four actors portray the four Queen members, you will see that they pretty much nail their performances.

Mike Myers is fantastic as the EMI record producer, who objects to playing Bohemian Rhapsody on the radio, as it was too long. But Queen got it their way, and it went on to be their biggest hit!

So, if you are a fan of Queen, or if you are interested in seeing what the hype is about, go see Bohemian Rhapsody.

I shall give this movie a 9/10. It is a wonderful movie, full of great music!

I am on a bit of a horror binge today. I have seen the remake of It, and now I have finished Quarantine, the 2008 remake of the Spanish movie .

The story is pretty straight forward: A journalist and a cameraman has been tasked with shadowing a LAFD crew for the night. They get a call to an apartment building, where something strange has occurred. It soon becomes clear, that this is no ordinary call, and that there is something bizarre and more sinister at play than they had been anticipating.

The movie is found-footage style, and I like that about this one. It gives it more of an authentic and terrifying feel to it. I enjoyed the way that the movie went from "Just a regular day" to "Oh my god, what's happening and how do we stop it from happening any further?"

The actors in this movie are doing a great job, and they really put on a great performance. Jennifer Carpenter has the leading role in this movie, and I enjoyed her performance as a reporter, who gets WAY in over her head, and ends up a nervous wreck. Steve Harris is her camera man Scott, who we rarely see, but has quite a big role to play, because we see the movie from his perspective.

Other actors include Jay Hernandez, Johnathon Schaech, Columbus Short, Rade Serbedzija and Andrew Fiscella.

If you are into found-footage style horror, with plenty of terror, you will love this film. Me, as a film lover, enjoyed the way it was shot. I also enjoyed the acting from Jennifer Carpenter.

Quarantine lands on a solid 9/10!

So sorry! Had no idea that they hadn't shown it in Europe yet. One of the ladies from here sent me an email and told me. I didn't mean to spoil it for anybody.

Well, for those of you that like it, it is an excellent episode. I can't believe that Europe doesn't get to watch it until later. When is it coming on in your country?
