Flying scenes were class in fairness.

I think the lack of CGI, or at least very minimal use thereof, was so refreshing. It looked real.

Watched Men last night. I enjoyed it. Lost the run of itself a bit, similar to how Annihilation did, but I generally just like Garland's style.

Saw Top Gun at the weekend, enjoyed the hell out of it.
Let's face it though, it was basically a reboot of 633 Squadron, just with Super Hornets replacing Mosquitoes.

Pretty much everyone seems to be enjoying Top Gun, I might get a look at it later.

Watched Prey the other night. Thought it started like it was going to be useless and a bit of shit CGI here and there but overall I enjoyed it and it's at least as good as any of the others since the first.

Last night watched The Turtles movie on Netflix. Wasn't a bad reboot as it goes although I wasn't expecting Casey Jones to be a wide eyed teenager sort or April O'Neill to be kicking the fuck out of monsters but she was never going to be cowering behind the turtles really in today's climate. The Krang were pretty cool and the animation was decent.

Watched Crimes of the Future again last night, as the missus dozed off when we first watched it and wanted to see it properly. Really is fucking great. If you like that kind of thing, you'll love it.

Yep, watched it during the week myself after giving up on it reaching cinemas here...only to have the Lighthouse announce next day they have it screening in September!

Two watched today: Song of the Sea, wonderful stuff, maybe even better than The Secret of Kells. Looking forward to the third of the "set", Wolfwalkers. And then, tonight, Elvis. Entertaining. Some great bits, some grand bits. Too long overall.

That's the first positive review of Elvis that I've come across. One I was looking forward to but it's out there on the long finger now. I'd be more interested in the John Carpenter fillum TBH.

I'd give it 3 or 3.5 out of 5. Most of that going for the first hour and for the main actor, who I think was excellent throughout. We'll be seeing more of him.

Call me a stoner, but this looks pretty good to me!

Walk Hard vibes, except it's real.

That is one I didn't make it all the way through.

Clerks 3

Not out yet but had no idea this was even a thing. Has been talked about for years. Mixed feelings about the trailer, looks OK I guess. Loved 'Clerks' as a teen, 'Clerks 2' was decent enough, this one? we'll see.
