Not much to report on the movie front. I had the unusual experience of putting two DVD movies into my player and finding them both unwatchable after the first 10 or so minutes. One had me hyped by the presence of Malcolm McDowell, but he didn't/couldn't save the movie at all - The Fairy King of Ar, 5.1 on IMDB it turns out, also titled Beings, from 1998. And Blackbeard from 2006, rated 5.7 on IMDB, which it turns out was produced by some guy who produces, I kid you not, about 20 TV movies per year! Production line crap, says it all really.
Ice Cold in Alex, 1958, was a very watchable movie and it turned out to have a 7.9 on IMDB. There was one scene that 'ruined it' for me near the end though, although not ruining it really, it forced me to click 'skip' as it was the most unpleasant of convoluted 5 minutes of forced drama you could imagine. I could write a wall of text just on those 5 minutes and how you could quite easily cut that scene and nothing would be lost, only gained.
I also saw Deadpool at the cinema and quite enjoyed the entertainment. My only complaint was that you do see all the best jokes in the advert trailer, so I'm quite pissed off about that, someone watching it without the trailer spoilers would have a 2 or 3 point appreciation over someone who has. God I hate movie trailers, there has to be some other way to get a taster of a movie…
