Not enough Alec Baldwin (0 more)
Watched last night decent Irish thriller that wants to be a tarantino movie with good performances especially from Olivia Cooke as pixie who holds the movie together could have done with more Alec Baldwin as gun totting Irish priest but overall not bad movie

One bad error
End of the era
So to date I have seen this six times, pretty much done the cinema checklist, bring seen it in 2D, 3D,4DX and IMAX. It still never fails to get the emotions running at one scene for me.

It's it perfect? No, there are potential plot holes, and one very noticeable continuity error, however given for a film running 3 hours, you don't notice it pass at all.

I maybe bits as I have been a comic book geek for too many years, and even a bad Marvel movie is still pretty good, this though, a whole new level

After a rather slow start, this definitely picked up! However, I did rather like the slow build up - it really built up the main character, Alice. Alice and her mother, Ella, are pretty much ‘on the run’ from Ella’s mother, and some unseen ‘bad luck’. The bad luck is something that Alice could never imagine. I loved the parts in the Hazel Wood, and I’m intrigued to see how the second book in the series will potentially revisit The Hinterland.
I’m a sucker for grown up fairy tales (because I’m pretty sure all original fairy tales were at med at grown ups, and not children at all!) and this did it for me.

That Is Not a Good Idea!

When a Fox invites a Chicken to join him for a walk in the forest, it is not a good idea. And as things continue to unfold, the bad ideas continue to evolve. But who are they bad ideas for?

This is another unique picture book from Mo Willems with pictures on some pages and dialogue on others, kind of like an old silent film. Then there’s a Greek chorus of baby chicks constantly giving the warning in the title. The end of the book contains a great laugh, making this book so much fun.

A Bad Day's Work (Lilly Hawkins, #1)

TV shooter Lilly Hawkins gets the scoop of the year, footage of a murder scene. But when she returns to the station her tape is blank. She thinks it is just bad luck until someone starts threatening her to get that tape. What has she stumbled into? The plot of this book is a little thin, but the action more than makes up for it. I also really liked how the characters developed over the course of the novel. I am very anxious to read the next book in what looks to be a great series.

Just plain bad
I'm starting to wonder if Trainwreck was a one hit wonder for Amy Schumer. This film is absolutely terrible. It doesn't start off well as it introduces Amy's character as such a detestable self obsessed person that you have no interest in her wellbeing and really can't stand her. So her development over the space of the film is wasted. There's barely anything truly funny in this film, most of it is just cringingly bad. The only decent scenes are those with the brother and the US state department agent, but sadly those are few and far between.

The only good thing about this film is it's thankfully short running time.

This won't be rising from the ashes
I was quite excited about this X-Men film as I thought the last film was the end of the current class. Then I heard about the bad reviews and can understand why.
It's the weakest of the 4 "first class" X-Men films. The first 2 films were really good and among my favourites of all the X-Men films.
This wasn't as good as Last stand for me which also has Jean turn bad.
Saved by some good actors and some good action scenes as they battle each other. Overall it's nearer the bottom of the class of all the X-Men films that have been made.
