Good things do happen in 3's, and this ones a charm.
The amazing choreography that made the first two movies stand out has been ramped up to 11 with a story though not too complex has been executed with such style.
These types of movies are suited to Keanu and he is so great at it that he has made it difficult for others to replicate, long live the boogeyman!

Classic Greg
The poster of him in the lake for this tour is amazing on it's own. If you enjoyed Greg on taskmater and you haven't watched his stand up this is a good place to start. The material was all new at the time and not things he had shared on talk shows or other programmes.

Hong Kong/Thai action thriller
The fight scenes in this film are up there with some of the best in any film made. It's let down by some cheesy bad guys with one liners who stand there and send the lackies in, but other than that this Hong Kong thriller set in Thailand is a heck of a fun action packed ride.

Lacklustre sequel that has lost its heart.
Howard again seems to stand about adding zero value to the narrative, thankfully we dont get as many close ups of her shoes this time.
The third act picks up a little as the dino auction scenes were quite entertaining, but this isnt enough to plaster over the holes in the plot and the overuse of CGI, worth a watch but nothing special.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2099 KP) rated Death by Pantyhose (A Jaine Austen Mystery, #6) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The sixth Jaine Austen mystery finds Jaine agreeing to write jokes for an unfunny stand-up comic. But before she can get started, the woman is arrested for murder. The weapon, a pair of pantyhose. Definitely for those who love funny mysteries, this one will keep you laughing while you puzzle over the clues.

Cheesey Scripting
A Good Memory
Its a cute film to watch if you're a Mamma Mia fan but beyond this the film was cheesey and unimpressive. The only place it even holds up to the force of the first film was in the musical numbers themselves. Beyond this the film cannot stand on its own nor does it really make a mark anywhere beyond the music.

Landmark film
A landmark film for Hollywood that has a great significance for the industry.
To the film and I did worry it might not quite live up to the hype. Thankfully I can say it is a very good film for many reasons. It has some great action scenes, Sfx, for the suit especially. Also featuring a strong complex villain and with some funny moments. One of the better stand alone character films from the MCU.
