#thesurfer Nicolas Cage doing what he's the master at! I did like this one I'll be honest. The 70s vibe that it has at times. A weird orange tint to the film. The story is decent. " Eat the rat" line made me laugh more than it should have. Fantastic film! Rating 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

Film review 🎥 #liloandstitch Another month, another Disney live action revamp. Probably one of the better ones I've seen. Seen it in 3D and it held up quite well. The odd funny moment. I will say that the young girl who plays Lilo is brilliant and adds some charm to the film. Rating 🍿🍿 1/2

#anothersimplefavor Good God this is unbearable! The first film was watchable and had its moments, unfortunately this doesn't. The island they are on looks stunning. The jokes don't land,the story is so unbelievable. Avoid. Rating 🍿

#starwarsespiode2 This is the worst Star Wars film I think I've seen! Apart from the big battle near the end,this is so boring. The special effects are shocking and well overused. So many nonsense love scenes. I will say it has got some interesting characters,but not seen enough. Rating 🍿

#buried HOLD THE F**KING BACK PAGE!!! What we have here is hands down the best performance of Ryan Reynolds acting career! No laughs. No trying to out perform others. Just him in a box. Full of tension. Give it a miss if you are claustrophobic. Rating 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

#waiting Quite funny at times. Some of the jokes you probably wouldn't see in 2025 films. Times have changed. Ryan Reynolds is on his best behavior and doesn't overshadow everyone else. Do things like this really happen in restaurants? Rating 🍿🍿🍿

#starwarsepisode1 Take the pod racing and the final battle out and this is a bit dull for me. My issue with star wars films is the amount of waffle that goes on. What the heck is Ewan McGregor accent?? The special effects are better in the original trilogy. Seen better star wars films. Rating 🍿🍿

#havoc If you have ever seen the film raid,you'll know exactly what this director is capable of. The action is outstanding,so much going on you don't know where to look. The story is as old as the hills,but don't let that put you off. Blood and guts throughout. Rating 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

#teamamerica There's a lot of funny shit in this film. The songs are fantastic. Matt Damon is one of the funniest characters in film history. When this came out in 2004 it was taking the piss at America and not a lot has changed in 2025! Rating 🍿🍿🍿🍿
