  1. Civil War (cinema) I enjoyed it despite huge apprehension about it. Sticks its muddled politics in the background to a really well told story about photojournalists and some excellent action scenes. Cailee Spaeny is brilliant, and this is Kirsten Dunst's best work outside of Fargo for a decade. Abigail (cinema) A great laugh. Not *quite* as good as Ready or Not but very, very close. Dan Stevens is absolutely ace in everything and you never know where he's going to appear next. Kevin Durand the clear MVP though. Kung Fu Panda 4 (cinema) I haven't seen the first three. It didn't seem to matter. It was quite funny. Jack Black's cover of Baby One More Time the highlight. Summer Time Machine Blues (Prime) Japanese time-travel comedy from the same guy who wrote the similar Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes and River, which I also think are on Prime. They're all really funny, silly and feelgood films and this one is especially so. Solarbabies Alexei Sayle does pop in at some point and is very funny, otherwise it's too daft for its own good. Full marks for effort but I was quite bored. Looper Yeah, this is still great. Reminder that Rian Johnson still has a 100% record. Death Race (2008) One of the very few Jason Stathams I hadn't watched mainly because it was directed Paul WS Anderson. It's fun though, especially during the ridiculously long race scenes. Reminder that Jason Statham got good films out of Ben Wheatley and Paul WS Anderson. He's my hero. Miracle Mile God this is fucking great. I can see why it tanked on release because how the fuck do you market this? It's a romcom and then it's a nuclear apocalypse thriller. One of the most underrated American films of the 1980s. Extraterrestrial (2011) (Prime) Enjoyable alien invasion comedy from the guy who made Timecrimes (another great time travel / loop film). Not at all what I expected but better for it. Journey to the West Brilliant Chinese mockumentary about an obsessed UFO investigator. Surprised this isn't better known considering how well received it was in its home country. Lovely stuff. Ikarie XB 1 (YouTube) Extremely influential Czechoslovakian sci-fi film. Looks incredible, an obvious turning point for the genre once Hollywood saw it. Largely unknown but it shouldn't be.
  2. I bought a new Chromebook today and I found out they've rolled out Steam on new Chromebooks. At fucking last. So I've unexpectedly been playing Peggle all evening.
  3. The sequel is due to start filming this summer, lads. Same director and Maika Monroe returns, too.
  4. And I think this is where my only watching the PPVs falls down a bit, because I do miss the context and connections of other things that may be happening. I've never been a Kingston fan but I absolutely do see the appeal with him so that's a personal thing really. But I actually did enjoy Mark Briscoe in this and I think overall his recent story has been a real feelgood one that has been born out of tragedy. What I've seen of him and heard of him in the last year suggests that the booking and use of him has been largely excellent. I could see some of that here, for sure
  5. That makes sense then, I suppose. Hopefully they'll get a fuller length rematch one day.
  6. I watched this! And I nearly regretted it! Pac vs Okada Not a bad start but I would have liked more pace to this, which I thought I was going to get from these two. I hate that 'go on, hit me then!' shit, especially from a heel, but Okada did some good heel work later in the match and his near fall kickouts are brilliantly timed. I like that most of his stuff is just older school wrestling stuff executed really well. Far longer than it needed to be but loads of fun in its final stretch. House of Black vs Copeland, Briscoe and Kingston Eddie Kingston's usual boring strong style shit and this was just too long as well. Just needed to be a mad sprint, went on forever. Nah. Julia Hart vs Willow Nightingale I think this was my first Willow Nightingale match. Julia Hart has got better every time I've seen her. So I was looking forward to this one, and then it was over as soon as it got started. Fucking hell. Knock 6 hours off the stupid trios match and give them some time ffs. Roderick Strong vs Kyle O'Reilly Good match, this, even if I didn't really care about it that much. Strong's heel run here is easily the most interested I've ever been in him, he's always been a total dullard to me. What the fuck was the point of Wardlow's run in? He gets caught by the ref before he does anything, does a "Oops, you caught me, mister!" and then Strong won clean. So they even found a way to balls this one up to a degree. Hook vs Jericho Hook is an absolutely brilliant talent who they've done fuck all with so far. I don't know about Learning Tree, but Jericho looks like a gnarled yew. There's no point wishing he would fuck off at this point because it's obviously not going to happen. It's amazing how uncomfortable the atmosphere is when Jericho's in the ring, I've never seen anything like it. This was crap. Toni Storm vs Thunder Rosa Now we're talking. Started fast, settled down with nice heavy shots and work from both of them. Easily the best match of the card so far, brilliant near fall on the Storm Zero near the end. Loved this. Will Ospreay vs Bryan Danielson Nigel McGuinness an absolute hoot on commentary again, having the time of his life. Obviously an absolutely fantastic match on almost every level, practically faultless and the only match of the night that needed to go this long. Brilliant. FTR vs Young Bucks A ladder match, so the usual thing, really. Didn't outstay its welcome and I quite enjoyed it but I never want to see the Young Bucks again in my whole life. Same goes for Jungle Boy as well. Swerve Strickland vs Samoa Joe Fantastic match between two of the best around right now. The right time for Swerve after Joe's excellent reign, he's a massive star and they need someone new at the top. Whether his reign will be booked well is probably in huge doubt but a cracking moment. Fair to say this was a show of two halves, the first half was not good at all but the second half far better.
  7. JLM having a proper Dalton Castle-esque breakdown here.
  8. She's brilliant, isn't she? Great to see someone happy to be thriving in that sort of position.
