Nice flow to the album (0 more)
No real stand-out tracks (0 more)
You hear the beat of the first track and you know it's going to be a good Underworld album. This whole album seems to be more beat/bass focused than their more melodic ones, but it works well. Starts off quite energetic and bright at the beginning, then allows down and has a darker feel for tracks 4 and 5 before lightening up again towards the end. I didn't really dislike any tracks, although preferred the more energetic ones, but also nothing really stood out, unlike previous albums where there have been one or two tracks that I just love listening to again and again. If I had to pick a favourite track it would be the first one, "I Exhale".
  
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)
2019 | Action, Crime, Thriller
John Wick is quickly becoming a favorite franchise among many, myself included. Keanu Reeves excels in a revolutionary role that shows the viewer a type of action rarely seen before and never seen in the elaborate conditions and setting that is built within this world.

It's nice how this series introduces new characters to fight the titular Wick. They always have an original way to twist the story around and make this villain the most evil villain yet, even if that isn't necessarily the case.

I can't wait to see what is in store in the next installment. Reeves has publicly stated that he will keep making John Wick movies as long as people want to keep watching them. Well, I will keep watching them for as long as you keep making them, Mr. Reeves.

The first in Richmal Compton's classic 1920s comedy series, about a young child who causes chaos wherever he goes, all the time whilst thinking that he is helping.

Yes, it's very much a product of its time - complete with clear distinction between the Upper, Middle and Lower classes and, yes, this particular entry (the very first) is really more a collection of short(ish) stories rather than having an over-arching plot but, for all that - and once you get into the right frame of mind - there is a reason these are enduring stories!

(Oh, and if you want to see the impact William has had on English literature? Try Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch and tell me you don't spot the similarities ...)

Finally 24 hours late seen Godzilla vs Kong was it worth the extra day yes it was exactly what I was hoping for. my back not so much watched it 4dx which every time Godzilla or Kong threw a punch at each other the chair rate up and down. Anyway the stars of the movie are Kong and Godzilla and they know how to fight nice to see mecha Godzilla make an appearance keeping him to the end which was the right thing to do. The plot was a bit on the confusing side and some of the acting wasn't great but it didn't stop me from liking the movie.
Next cinema visit Spiral from the book of saw Saturday afternoon

Movie Favorite

"Run Lola Run is a movie that I really love. It’s very much of its time. I watched it recently, and it’s kind of funny; it doesn’t age that well, but I loved it at the time. And I did a movie around the same time called Saving Grace. Run Lola Run won Sundance the year before us, and then we won at Sundance for Saving Grace — we won the Audience Award — and I remember thinking, “Oh my God!” You know, I can’t believe that we would even be in the same league. That’s when Sundance had movies and stuff — before, like, f—ing drink commercials or whatever the f— they do, some kind of Hollywood ski vacation. But I really loved Run Lola Run. It had a really nice feel to it."
