The Craggus (360 KP) rated Mary Poppins Returns (2018) in Movies

Mary Poppins Returns (2018) is an exercise in Lucasian poetry #Review
George Lucas once claimed that the many repetitive instances in the Star Wars prequel trilogy were deliberate ‘poetry’, rhyming with the original trilogy and so it is with this second Mary Poppins film. Having soothed its corporate conscience with “Saving Mr Banks”, Disney returns to the works of P L Travers to produce a checkbox musical which follows the template of the first movie to a fault...

One of the original sci-fi classics
Up there with the original War of the Worlds as an original science fiction classic.
The art direction, look, feel and musical score of the film are amazing even by today's standards. Ok some of the special effects have not aged well, but it doesn't take away from the foreboding and interesting adventure.
Watch a brown-haired Leslie Nielsen do battle with the Krell alongside Robby the Robot.

Fun times
This cult classic is a fun musical.
This might not before everyones taste, very sexual theme movie. To watch this properly you need to go to an event where they are showing it. People will be there dressed up as characters and have props like water guns, toast and more fun things. If you plan to watch this at home you will be missing out on so much.
This is not a movie but a social event for the weird.

A story of John Cusacs record store owning character's decent into madness as he tries to recall why his relationships are a failure.
Another fantastic comedy where it's difficult to find a weak point, all players are on form with stand out mention to Jack Black who munches through every scene he is in.
Championship records is not the place to buy music you love personally, unless you want a detailed reason why your musical taste sucks.

I was a huge fan of the original. The live action remake is faithful, maybe too faithful especially given the director is bare knuckle boxing fan Guy Ritchie. Will Smith is good as Genie. He carries the comedy and romance well. The actress playing Jasmine is a revelation especially in her big solo. My only complaint which is not about the film just a preference is they should have taken a risk and turned the musical numbers into full Bollywood productions.

A Modern Classic
Very few albums manage to successfully capture the mentality of a generation and give so many people something to care about. This is what the Stone Roses did in 1989 with their eponymous debut album.
This album is more than just music, it is a feeling that was captured and put to music. Inspirational to no end and iconic to this day. An absolutely fantastic first album that deserves its legacy and is still relevant in today's musical landscape.

Welcome to the hellmouth, we've got double games. Slaughterhouse Rulez (2018) Review
If Hammer House Of Horror had produced “Spaced”, the result could have been a lot like “Slaughterhouse Rulez”. A common room home brew of British Boarding School classics like “If….”, “Goodbye, Mr. Chips” (the 1969 musical version specifically) mixed with “Ghostbusters” and dash of “Harry Potter”, this intoxicatingly lowbrow comedy horror offers a novel spin on the idea that British education has gone to the dogs....
