To be honest… I was all kind of a lot to take in…
My main take away was that Karan Soni got so much more then a crisp high five.

I don’t know if I’ve aged or it has but doesn’t quite have the magic it did. I guess we’ve seen a lot of the character since they were introduced too,..

Tycho · Song · 2006
Past Is Prologue by Tycho
A middle-aged Irish farmer, who still lives at home with his mother, sets off on a mission of revenge when the old lady is murdered.

The tone is a lot less bleak and brutal than maybe it could, or should, have been. I can only assume this got an 18 cert in the UK for the repeated use of the c-word. Certainly there is nothing overly graphic. To be honest, it plays out more like the finale of TV series than a movie.
Nigel O’Neill plays his part, as Donal, very well. I imagine it’s hard to establish much menancing intent when you’re wearing a fleece and wellies but he pulls it off. Susan Lynch also manages to be deeply unpleasant with little screen time.
The story is nothing new but Donal’s deeply pragmatic approach to each challenge is quite refreshing.
★★★
American expat Mickey Pearson has built a highly profitable marijuana empire in London. When word gets out that he’s looking to cash out of the business forever it triggers plots, schemes, bribery and blackmail in an attempt to steal his domain out from under him.

There’s really nothing new to this story but I still like how it was told. Particularly the parts that were told my Hugh Grant
★★★
A young man who was sentenced to 7 years in prison for robbing a post office ends up spending 30 years in solitary confinement. During this time, his own personality is supplanted by his alter ego, Charles Bronson.

The part with the tea trolley and the disco in secure unit are some of my favourite scenes ever.
★★★
Gellert Grindelwald has escaped imprisonment and has begun gathering followers to his cause—elevating wizards above all non-magical beings. The only one capable of putting a stop to him is the wizard he once called his closest friend, Albus Dumbledore. However, Dumbledore will need to seek help from the wizard who had thwarted Grindelwald once before, his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

Had no memory of watching this but some of it seemed familiar. Eventually realised we’d watched the start and given up at some point. The eldest liked it (11) youngest was bored and left…
Seemed adequate but little more than a stepping stone.
★★★
Not convinced that our new GA4 property is:
a) working properly
b) better than the old version

A thrilling and inspiring true story begins on the eve of World War II as, within days of becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation. As the unstoppable Nazi forces roll across Western Europe and the threat of invasion is imminent, and with an unprepared public, a skeptical King, and his own party plotting against him, Churchill must withstand his darkest hour, rally a nation, and attempt to change the course of world history.
I serously doubt there are many people in the world that this will even make sense to… but the continuing saga of the NHS BMI widget is quite something. It’s not even as if BMI is a decent measure of ANYTHING.
