How is it possible that this is the best of the three films?! I'm utterly shocked. I feel like if this film was the first film in the franchise or even the second, it would've made it so much better! This is the film that you really see Kay for who he is and you see a deeper side of Jay where he isn't just the token black man like the first film OR an idiot in the second one!

I still don't think it was very good as a whole film but in comparison to the entire series and the first two? This is the one that stands out as the best. I think in this movie, Griffin was my favorite and I liked Will Arnett's brief appearance in the beginning. Let's see how MIB International holds up.

If it ain't broke and all that
Reviewed in one sentence -
There's a bit where Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson full on anime punches an ostrich. 6/10





To elaborate slightly - Jumanji: The Next Level isn't quite as fun as it's predecessor, mainly because it's pretty much a strikingly similar re-tread.
It's still a lot of fun with some imaginative set pieces, mostly decent effects, and a strong cast - Karen Gillan once again shows off just how much star quality she has.
It's fairly forgettable, but it's feel good. Kevin Hart spends half the film doing a hauntingly accurate impression of Danny Glover which never stops being amusing, and by the time the films increasingly absurd climax comes around, it's clear that you would have to be a bit of a Grinch to not take something positive away.

It's all about those pesky expectations...

If you have seen a good number of action movies then you know that there are certain things that you should expect from them. Not that the stories don't change a bit, but the sequencing, the pacing, the overall feel and vibe of the movie is going to be quite similar. If that's what you have come to expect, you're on the right track here.

Wasn't a terrible movie. Emile Hirsch did a decent enough job in the titular role. Kate Bosworth held her own. Mel Gibson showed up with what has become his own grit and wit. The story is awkwardly similar to Hurricane Heist in many regards, but gets the job done a little better, probably due to stronger acting in general.

Decent popcorn tosser or background noise.

In this part it's Nicholas' match and after some advice off their instructor in the last part, he's struggling to get his head back in the game and fence as good as he normally does. Seiji is watching, recognising something in Nicholas' technique. And at the end, the next match is between Seiji and Aiden - who everyone has a crush on, and breaker of boys hearts.

I feel like by now we know the boys quite well, they're all very different but all have a love of fencing. The only characters I don't really like is Aiden with his cocky attitude.

I am very intrigued by how their match will play out. I really want Seiji to win just to put a dent in Aiden's "perfection" and will be buying more books in the series soon.

Rufus Wainwright recommended The Threepenny Opera by Kurt Weill in Music (curated)

Album Favorite

"Yes, that's the one. I know both recordings, and the movie too, but I think the one I listened to mostly was the later one. In a lot of ways Kurt Weill and Lotte Lenya, and this piece in particular, represent what I'd ultimately like to do as an artist: bringing opera together with popular music; classical singing with everyday life. I've written a couple of operas, I've worked with Shakespeare's sonnets, I've made pop records, and I have this folk background, and I feel that Kurt Weill with The Threepenny Opera was the pinnacle where all of the elements that he was influenced by joined together to create this other animal. Lotte Lenya was the one who interpreted that. It's a really good touchstone to keep in mind in terms of what I do in the pop world and the theatre world."
