I enjoyed the Wynonna Earp TV show but was satisfied with its conclusion after four seasons. This movie continuation feels unnecessary and is guilty of one of my biggest sequel pet peeves which is effectively undoing the ending of the previous one, or in this case TV show.

A contender for the most mental superhero movie ever made.

Hayao Miyazaki's return is quite possibly his strangest film but in typical Studio Ghibli style it is beautifully animated and enjoyable. If this does turn out to be his last, which we have to face reality that it might be at his age, he's at least ending on a high note. Apparently though he's still working so we never know!

Like a modern western meets a neo-noir. My cup of tea in other words. Smile

A long one. I watched it in two halves. I actually felt the second half stronger than the first that felt like a very, very long build up after the fact. Probably the weakest of the three movies James Dean had major roles in before his early death.

I just read the book this was based on so seeing as there was a movie and it was on Prime I gave it a look. As usual the book was better. Too many plot alterations for my liking including absent characters swapped with characters who weren't even in the book, characters having different fates, removing most of the historic scenes from the end of WWII including most the prologue that lets up the mystery in the first place, downplaying just how sadistic one of the main villains in the book was (gender swapping him into a woman in the process) and also they not only completely changed the ending they changed the ending in a way that it no longer become a real ending and instead is left open with the suggestion that the characters will meet a bad end. 

Honestly given everything that was done to this you'd think it was an adaptation by anyone but the Icelanders themselves.

Did a movie marathon yesterday, all four films by Satoshi Kon (R.I.P.):






For my money, the best anime director who never worked for Ghibli (his films are much more adult and/or surreal). His career was tragically cut short by cancer. 

Some others I've watched recently:



I honestly didn't find this as bad as its been made out to be. It doesn't have much reason for existing, any more than the entire 'World' trilogy does. Good news though, they're making the next one already with an entirely new cast to start trilogy 3. Hmm...

Better to leave sleeping dinos lie methinks.



Kept me watching, but overlong.



I gather this one has killed this franchise. It was okay, nothing more. 



Solid, but weaker than the prior trilogy it follows on from. 



A very good older one, one of James Dean's three films. 



Don't go in expecting historical accuracy, but entertaining as hell. 



Billed on the case as Jackie Chan's 100th film. Boring as hell though. 



Saw franchise in surprisingly solid film shocker. 



Quite good, but less of a comedy that advertised.

Yep, just as bad as the title and picture suggest... It's great!

Ever wondered where the inspiration for the Megadeth song came from? Yeah, just be a bit careful if you know too much...

A slight deviation from the usual Liam Neeson typecasting by setting it historically during The Troubles in Ireland. Pretty solid overall. 



Textbook unnecessary legacy sequel although it was entertaining for it was and I maybe liked it a bit more than the third one of the original trilogy. Not sure this franchise ever needed to be one though. 



Surprisingly solid, if basic, western. Didn't expect much of this but it's alright.

A group of friends, some of whom are obviously carrying some serious baggage about each other, meet up for a party. A massive storm is rolling in. At night they decide to play a game of Bodies Bodies Bodies. It's all in good fun, until people really start dying. Paranoia ensues. 

Film was okay; I felt like it needed to dial up certain elements to be more effective as a horror comedy but it also isn't the Z-grade pap that most horror movies I randomly select to watch end up being. The final twist at the end, although at that point I was expecting something along similar lines, was also pretty good because it makes you think about how easy it is to lose your head in a bad situation.

I was in a production of this when I was 15 (I played Crown Prince Chulalongkorn), but I'd never seen the movie. It's all a bit fucking boring really. Or maybe I'm biased because I hated doing it and it stressed me all to fuck having to sing solo (the couple of songs I did aren't in this version).

A film of the unfilmable. Love the craziness and the all star cast.

There are worse actions movies to zone out to than this one with The Stath, though I doubt it'd ever be worth a re-watch. I actually feel like I've seen the tail end of this before. It suddenly seemed very familiar from the point where Parker gets messed up after being jumped in his hotel room.

Bloody boring as far as musicals go. There are some very well known songs, particularly "You'll Never Walk Alone", but everything else is just meh. Louise's ballet is the only redeeming feature.

Another Kiwi classic. Hasn't aged particularly well, but Billy T. James is still a pleasure to watch.
