'The critics' are not a monolithic entity. The film has received mixed reviews. Some love it, some don't, some are in the middle.

Fair point. I exaggerate.
One week in and all the souvenir cups they had last week are gone.
Sometimes they over-order and shelfwarm for months.

And now I've seen the D+W trailer and listen to that, it's another remix of an 80s song with orchestral/percussive hits.

I almost bought the D&W soundtrack but I lost my enthusiasm when I saw that 'Like a Prayer' isn't even on it! www.amazon.co.uk/Deadpool-Wolverine-OST-Various-Artists/dp/B0D81KR459So many cover versions of it suddenly on YouTube now though.

Not played the Borderlands games, I wonder how true to them the film is.

'Coraline' 15th anniversary re-release: beautifully crafted. A bonus wee featurette after the film too!

Having enjoyed the recent French-language Three Musketeers films, I'm going to give The Count of Monte Cristo a go when it opens on Friday. I think it's the best Alexandre Dumas novel. Like the book, the film is long.

The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my top ten books of all time. The 2002 Guy Pearce movie was rubbish. The Gerard Depardieu 1998 TV mini-series (in French) was much better but flawed. The movie released in cinemas this week is as near-perfect as I could ask for. I'm not surprised, as it's made by the same company that did The Three Musketeers films with Eva Green last year, and Monte Cristo is a much better story than Musketeers.
For me, the three hours flew by.

'The Terminator' is currently back in cinemas. I was most amused by the intro before the film where James Cameron claims it was the first film he directed.
Ah ha ha, no, Jimbo. We haven't forgotten your directorial debut, 'Pirhana II: The Spawning'.

Twister (1996) is being released in 4DX. Booking seats in that format was a red-haze no-brainer. We are doing a showing on the 21st. Mrs Ralph has not experienced 4DX before...

Not much of a fan of the original so feel no urge to see the new one.
