Round up

 Tomorrow is my mother's birthday and my brothers birthday.

Yesterday I  watched Enchanto- which I quite liked. It is another bright and beautiful Pixar Disney offering I did like the South American setting - My niece was fascinated by the Capybaras

 I note that like Frozen , encanto is a discussion of sisterhood. Rather than a romance. The tensions between a prettier and plainer sister. I liked the fact that Encanto talked about what is it like to be in the shadows

Encanto is also a matriarchy - The Grandmother runs the house. I note it is also in English and Spanish

Do Colombians wear panchos?

I also watched Free Guy

I have been sleeping on a couch for three months now. As I have builders in. My room has been plastered and refloored. 

QPR have sacked Neil Critchley 

Richard Belzar

 The Wire, Law and Order SUV, Homocide life on the Street, The X files

Everything, Everywhere all at once

 You cannot fault the ambition of this film.

I remember seeing some Katen complaining about how there were no  middle aged women who were  superheroes - they rock the PTA 

Well some crazy fool did that with the multiverse

It is damn well different - To Spiderman no way home or Dr Strange the Multiverse of Madness 

Its done in Singlish, subtitles - We see a world of uncomfortable middle age. The plot involves an IRS audit, and a fading or failing marriage. A lesbian daughter, who is showing off her new tattoo and lover  On top of all that, a visiting father

It could be me or my wife

The lead is Michelle Yeah who is nearly old enough for her Bus pass. I do like her I last saw her in Star Trek Discovery 

It features Checkov's butt plug

I note Jamie Lee Curtis - Deirdre is a soft rrrr

We really see a world where the" last thing they are expecting is for us to turn into tap dancing mongooses " As well as, universes with no Life at all

Even the multiverse and reality itself are nothing compared to the struggle between mother and daughter

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

 I did like this. Is the beginning of the 90s revival?

I had forgotten about Guarding Tess, I have never seen it - I remember it from clips of Movies Games and Videos late at night on ITV

This is great knockabout stuff- Cage is trying to get back into the brightest of limelights. He has to do a private party for Pedro Pascal - In a Croatia starrung as a Spain

Pascal is great. Funnily enough I can understand Pascal but not his Spanish co star 

Pascal has a film for Cage ..

   I love the drugged and drunken stunts. I note the CGI cage is in fact from an episode of Wogan. Just past me on the 207

I have missed Nicolas Cage- I loved his work- Cin Air, The Rock, Leaving Las Vegas - I tried to pull of the leaving las Vegas look in my first year in University 

Demi Moore is another blast from the past - She gets a cameo role 

Sharon Horan has done alright for herself- 

The Naked Gun 2025

  Yes I enjoyed this. I don't think it was worth a cinema ticket but I laughed and laughed I think this is an older script- There is a r...
