When his car breaks down, a quiet loner agrees to clean an abandoned family fun center in exchange for repairs. He soon finds himself waging war against possessed animatronic mascots while trapped inside Willy's Wonderland.
This is just bad. In every way.
Actually, there’s some effective visuals and lighting but nothing you’ve not seen before.

Thousands of women die every year in childbirth because of crappy maternity care, even in “developed” countries.
No-one gives a shit.
Some rich assholes do one of the most dangerous things imaginable and people are obssessed. Fuck those guys.
After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters the Spider Society, a team of Spider-People charged with protecting the Multiverse’s very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must set out on his own to save those he loves most.
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.
erse, 2023
When an unexpected enemy emerges and threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins!
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
