Weird
Didn’t love it but I also didn’t hate this move . I wasn’t a fan of the last effort from the director, “The Lobster” . This movie has very similar feel. Leaves a lot for the viewer to figure out. The wooden acting I believe is intentional so hard to say that is badb

Missed opportunity
From the Trailer this looked like a English version of The Heat. Starring a decent cast and looking very slick. It starts well with a good heist and chase scene. After that the film takes a right turn and becomes more about the 2 lead characters. It could have been a lot better.

"Monster" was a very quick read and was interestingly set up. I enjoyed how it was written like a movie, it made it feel more real. The story line was a court case, so a lot of repetition. I wanted to know if he really did it or not. That was my biggest issue with the book.

I enjoy this game. The theme is unique (an who doesn't like wine??). I did find it a bit frustrating that you need to age this to convert it to that, then age it more, to turn it into that other thing... It just seemed like it was a lot of set up and not enough time to execute.

I can't remember much about this but I feel like I read this before I watched the movie and the movie really let me down... I dunno, but I feel like the movie really let me down because the ending felt so different from the book.

I remember enjoying the book quite a lot. A quirky and quick read.

A decent entry to the Pixar garage of films. This did feel aimed a lot more at a younger audience, where their other films have something for all ages. A good voice cast and shiny motors with some impressive animation again. I loved the "Cars" versions of Toy Story, Monsters Inc at the end when the credits roll!

This is a must listen for Dead fans
Almost too clear, some might prefer the audience recordings available on archive.com and elsewhere. (1 more)
As mentioned, there are a LOT of great recordings available for free on the net if you don’t want the “official “ release.
Brilliant!
More to come..... for now, go listen on archive!

Slow burner
I read a lot of great reviews about this, but I found it as a very slow burner and I didn't always quite understand what was going on. I felt like I was missing something, the film was certainly missing something. I guess you could say there was an air of unease but that's it.

A pretty good action, SFX driven film. It doesn't have the charm of the original and the action scenes are over a bit quick. It is quite a bit different to the original for a lot of the scenes, although the overall story is quite similar. One to switch your brain off to! Sequel out in 2012!

Better than decent sequel
This one started a bit slow, but reminded me a lot of Evil Dead II. The second half was much better and more gruesome and depraved. Some of the gore effects were really good if you like that type of thing.

Can't wait to watch the next one.
