Whiplash - 9/10. How did I miss this and how did Miles Teller go from this to F4 but its JK Simmonds playing a musical drill sergeant that blew me away.

Simmons is always a delight. Ever since Oz.

Spectre - 4/10

Man... What a waste.

The Walk - 7/10

I saw the 2008 documentary, Man on Wire and thought a dramatisation could work well. It did.

From IMDB:

The Walk - 8/10 from me - enjoyed the documentary a few months back too. Nice to see a movie about the towers that makes no mention of their end, almost a celebration of them.

The walk 7/10. very enjoyable. Amazing feat by him.

Raiders of the Lost Ark - 8/10 Call me a bitch but my eyes were half closed when he fell into the snake pit. Me and Indy have that in common.

You know what, movie's a 10/10 since he got to light some of them up.

And 4 ?

And 4 ?

You must be mistaken. Making a 4'th Indiana Jones would be like making a sequel to The Matrix or a prequel to Alien.
No one would be that stupid.

Did you spot the glass barrier between Indie and the snakes?

No But I did recognise a young Alfred Molina as Indy's guide in the beginning.

Good actor.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - 6/10. Not as fun as the first with annoying supporting characters.

I thought this was a lot of fun when I was younger...now it's kind of cringeworthy. The lady is defs annoying...the little kid was cute. That chanting they were doing when the dude got his heart removed is cool.

The dude that removes the heart is legend. A truly iconic Bollywood baddie

The Last Crusade is brilliant though.

American Hero 5.5 / 10

Not a good film...the lead character is a collection of cliches, the runtime is under 90 minutes but feels alot longer. Stephen Dorff was pretty good.
