Ear today, gone tomorrow
Classy true-crime drama formerly starring Kevin Spacey. Grandchild of insanely wealthy oil tycoon is kidnapped and held to ransom; tycoon refuses to pay up on principle (said principle being 'I never give money away if I don't have to'); everything gets a bit stressful between tycoon and his ex-daughter-in-law. Body parts end up being put in the post.

Ridley Scott does a very good job of bringing an outlandishly grotesque true story to the screen, although the usual liberties are taken with the chronology of what actually happened. Fine performances from Christopher Plummer and Michelle Williams, amusingly unflattering depiction of Italy in the 70s; laudable general message of how having money can really screw you up and you're better off without it (Scott has an estimated net worth of $140 million, in case you were wondering). A solidly entertaining movie.

Just passed my 200th rating on here! Would have done something for that if I realised. Bring on 300 (I'll review 300 for that). Just a quick one for those who are into YouTube reviews/reviews in general, I've been running a review channel for a little while on there and the subscriber count is slowly going up which is great. If I get to 100 I can make a custom url which will help me out for sharing it about. So yeah, if you're into that kind of thing- subscribing would mean a lot and as I say, would help me out. I'll be reviewing each movie I do for the channel here too. Thanks in advance :) Here's the link

Not sure if anyone else here does the same but if you do, direct me to your channel and I'll happily sub back.

Some people may find it too stupid and ridiculous
A lot of fun, dont take it seriously
I had a lot of fun with this movie. The idea was certainly funny and interesting. What the world would be like if only dumb people survived. Opens the movie up to some funny scenarios and jokes.

Plus...Terry Crews, what's not to love. I loved the cast in general. All brought something to the movie and was all great.

Very funny and definitely some laugh out loud moments. Not the greatest movie and it's not meant to be. And definitely don't take this seriously. Go into this expecting stupid fun and you will enjoy it.

I did think it was a bad ending but wasn't sure how else they could have ended it to be fair.

Captain Marvel is not a superhero I am familiar with, but with a free Kindle Unlimited trial and an upcoming movie about her, I thought I should give it a try.
Some really good artwork here, being slightly cartoony in nature but not too twee. Some good interaction with Guardians of the Galaxy.
But in general, just a bit flimsy and dull. A lot of the book falls into Phantom Menace-esque international trade tariff discussions which take up quite a large proportion of the page count.
I don't feel like this really shows off one of the most powerful superheroes in all their glory, rather being a strong independent woman sorting things out through political discussion and diplomacy before eventually resorting to her powers. While this was right for the story being told, I found it a boring one. I may not be the target market for this.
