Undecided on if I enjoyed this one or not. Axel F is a fun enough character but probably shouldn’t still be a cop after his career! The final shootout was like watching Storm Troopers vs. the Jedi. Can only the
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024)
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)
Can’t fault these films for big action set pieces, but I can rue them for having the fake-face mask technology. It is so annoying and frustrating that the espionage is essentially pretending to be someone else. Little disappointed in the
Blazing Saddles (1974)
Watched as honor to Mel Brooks’ birthday. Would not be made today. Hilarious throughout but modern audiences may not appreciate its aged humour. Watched: 29-June-2024
IF (2024)
Of course Cailey Fleming would be excellent. Nice enough movie but predictable ending when it had the opportunity to really mess with everyone and have this either playing out in her Dad’s head or her Dad to be an IF.
Bird on a Wire (1990)
Probably trying to capture the Lethal Weapon vibe, this Mel Gibson actioner doesn’t have the same grit as LW and Goldie Hawn is too damsel in distress. Enjoyable enough, but if you want a Mel Gibson action feast, watch Lethal
The Fall Guy (2024)
Proof that cinema has collapsed. This is a full on five-star masterpiece that was unable to succeed at the box office. This Guy did not Fall, he flew! Watched: 28-May-2024
Airplane! (1980)
First watch of this cult classic. Still has some fun parts but otherwise not aged too well, certainly not like the other slapstick ZAZs. Watched: 18-May-2024
Bowfinger (1999)
As part of my Steve Martin appreciation watch-a-thon, but really not a great movie. Not enough laughs, even jabbing a finger at Scientology didn’t do enough. Perhaps intentional, Bowfinger just isn’t a good movie-maker so they made a bad picture
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
Takes a while to get going and then as soon as the big bad appears, they’re gone again. Some laughs but mostly a cold shoulder. The “wannabe-minions” Stay-Pufts need more of a story than just mischievous little scamps if they
See How They Run (2022)
Fun murder mystery that likes to use split screen a little too much. As a fan of Agatha Christie, this hits a lot of fun notes. Watched: 05-November-2022
