The Resurrection of Jake the Snake
- Having grown up watching him and the likes of WWF wrestlers, interesting to see what happens (sadly) to some of them after they can no longer wrestle. The fame and admiration stops, so booze and drugs etc.
Amazing what Diamond Dallas Page has done post wrestling career to help others.
Basically a documentary on Jakes recovery. Interesting to watch.

I started that one the other night. Was too tired to watch much, but it seemed pretty great. Will go back to finish it off.
10 Cloverfield Lane - 7.5 / 10
I really enjoyed this, the bulk of the film being claustrophobic, tense and atmospheric, with a great performance by John Goodman, and I enjoyed the end as well, the whole point is
I hope they continue the story and do a third, more action based to carry on where that left off.

He Never Died
Brilliantly understated, ominous, well written, and told with a dry wit. In the hands of a different director or scriptwriter the ideas in this movie would have turned out a slick action movie or a schlocky horror movie - here it transcends a bunch of well trod tropes and delivers a truly excellent film.
If you have NetFlix, do yourself a favour and watch it. Maybe not straight before bed though.
9.5/10

Deadpool. Fantastic, thoroughly enjoyed this

Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Starts well, but quickly descends into a mess of clichés. With the exception of Daisy Whatever, everyone looked like they were just phoning it in. Chewbacca gave the impression that he would happily sell his arse to get off the cast, but unfortunately he had to stay until the bitter end.
Emo Ren is the weakest, least convincing villain I have seen in cinema for many years. He has no personality whatsoever, and we know virtually nothing about him. Equally useless is his mentor, the evil Severus Snoke.
This movie is essentially a rewrite of the original Star Wars, and they even admit this when somebody points out that the new megaweapon is just another Death Star ('No it's not!', says somebody else, 'Because this one is bigger!')
And yes, the new totally-not-a-Death-Star has the same old weakness that everyone knows about, which is easily accessible because no attempt has been made to protect it. And the rebels—who were previously cursing the Empire for blowing up planets—praise themselves after blowing up a planet.
The token black guy was so irrelevant he might as well have been an extra. The stormtroopers followed their well established tradition of shooting in every direction except where the heroes are, with all the military skill of a cross-eyed donkey with four wooden legs. Meanwhile, the heroes are equipped with auto-aiming weapons that guarantee one shot, one kill.
Blah blah blah, stuff happens, who gives a toss. Oh, and something something Luke.
3/10.
