Toy story 4 was outed as unnecessary to most, I was happy to see more providing it wasn't more of the same.

Unfortunately it was another Rescue story but luckily the story was saved by being a different kind of rescue.

In the begging the toys are once again seperated by a clear out as Bo peep is is boxed, only this time their rescue is unsuccessful....
Eventually the remaining toys are introduced to Forky...who believes his destiny is to be trash? After multiple attempts to escape forky manages to escape during a road trip and and woody goes to recover & rescue him which reunites him with an old friend.....

Bo peep guy's, its Bo peep, don't be too shocked haha...

I enjoyed most of this film but was left unsatisfied with the ending, the original 3 had a solid emotional ending but this although was a nice finish, left me feeling like the real ending was left on the cutting floor.

The introduction of new characters was another nice addition although unnecessary and the big bad was a nice alternative, but it is safe to say that this was indeed a nice way to end things.

(Toys story 5 coming 2025....lol)

Well worth the money
I fell in love with Netflix whilst home ill one weekend. I admit I am a devourer of things I love and I must have binge watched more than a months worth of series in a weekend. It's a great way to catch up on those shows you missed on other channels and find new shows to watch. You may end up, however, getting hooked on a series only to find it has been cancelled after one or two series. Netflix own original series have been pretty spectacular and just keep getting better.
Plenty of kids options for my 2 boys plus my wife can have her own profile with her own recommendations so we are all kept pretty entertained.
Overall, if you have a choice between going to a movie and paying for a month of Netflix, choose Netflix.
  
Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)
Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)
2018 | Action, Sci-Fi
Jake Pentecost, son of Stacker Pentecost, reunites with Mako Mori to lead a new generation of Jaeger pilots, including rival Lambert and 15-year-old hacker Amara, against a new Kaiju threat.



After having rewatched the first offering from this franchise I was fully up to date with my rip off Transformers. For those of you who don’t remember the first one, they’re man operated robots that think they’re a combination of your favourite superheroes with almost power poses, and almost hero landings.

You don’t have to worry about not having seen the first one. It's very accommodating to show you what you missed... World was bad. World had a war. World won! There are bits that would benefit from the original knowledge, but you can glean what happened from what's going on.

There's certainly entertaining action, and a few moments where they seem to have a little laugh at themselves. It will pass the time relatively easily... as long as you ignore the very out of place montage in the middle.

I'm glad they brought new elements in and it didn't end up just being a resurgence of the Kaiju and "oh no, let's get the band back together".

I was not expecting much out of this new iteration of Jumanji. Jumanji scared the crap out of me when I was a kid (I ran out of the theater crying, and my mom had to convince me to watch the end to see that it ended up alright. I was an 8 year old wimp). Anyway, I think it varied enough from the original to not be a complete knock off. The cast was hilarious together, and Jack Black did amazingly with his character. I love watching anything with Karen Gillian. Shout out to the scriptwriters for pointing out how ridiculous it is for movies/video games to put females in skimpy clothing in adventure settings. I feel like this movie was made specifically for the people that were kids when the first Jumanji came out. Overall, I loved it, and will definitely be seeing it for a 3rd time.
