The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017)
2017 | Action, Comedy
I was expecting something hilarious after seeing the trailer but I think they pretty much put every funny part of the movie into the trailer so there were no fresh laughs. However, there were some pretty great fight scenes and wasn't too bad from an action point of view. I really enjoyed it but I just felt a little bit let down from the trailer to the movie.

Not quite the gift that keeps on giving
The first Bad moms film was hilarious, mainly down to the chemistry of the three main characters. This has a great cast including the grand moms... But it lacks a bit of what made the first film so funny. It still has it's funny moments just not as many as the first film.

I loved this book. I'm sad it took me so long to pick it up. I finished the whole thing in a day. I love me some of the guard. the Prince is nice and all but until he stands up to his father or becomes king then he isn't really with her time.

Social outreach
Facebook is a fantastic concept. The ability to see what's going on and a new way to keep touch. Unfortunately with all things too much of something is bad. People spend a lot of time on social media and forget how to be social

Ridley Scott hammering the final nails in the faltering franchise
I hated this film. I loved the original Alien and was so excited when Ridley come back to the franchise to revive it, but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be this bad. Candidate for worst film of the year. Full rant filled podcast review on my blog.

Love me some Netflix!
Great selection of television shows and movies to watch! They seem to switch up their selection every month. It is easy to get lost binge watching a good series ( that can be a good thing or a bad thing)! Love the recommendations of movies and shows that are similar to things you have watched.

Creepy without being tacky
Return to the psychological horror
Loved this movie, a return to the psychological horror rather than the cheap gruesome horror so often portrayed in recent horror-thriller movies. Fantastic cast and premise with enough humor to alleviate some of the stress. Personally the ending wasn't too bad but could have been explored a bit more in the film.

It wasn't Green Lantern bad (0 more)
Over Hyped
It was lackluster for the entire 2 hours and 20 minutes. The movie was basically "Captain America: The First Avenger" with a mediocre story, an unconvincing lead, and a dumb villain. Chris Pine tries to add a certain panache but every line I heard I just thought of Star Trek. I was disappointed, to say the least, for the scores it's getting.

Emotional end to the Trilogy
A magnificent film, a thinking mans action film.

Harrelson and Serkis performances are amazing, it continues to be a shame that Serkis doesn't get any Oscar nods for his work here.


The plot moves along at what feels like a breezy pace, a step up from the previous films which felt a little plodding.

Good story, funny in parts, pretty engaging, liked the irreverence, for the most part. (0 more)
A little too masculine/bad american stereotype for me. (0 more)
May have been oversold to me
It was good overall, and had some funny parts, just not my cup of tea.

Engagement (which is good) led me to stress a bit- but I find the idea of being in space really unappealing to begin with...
