Laurel And Hardy DVD. A Chump At Oxford. I had watched a larger collection on DVD before. Three films. Recently there was some Yanny nonsense. First starts of as the duo are looking for work. They eventually are enlisted at Oxford Uni. The local Brits decide to have a little fun with them. You can view it in b&w or colour. You may have also seen Charlie Chaplin, The Marx Brothers and Buster Keaton. Cert U. 1930-40.

I have watched this film again after several years. Written, produced and directed by M. Night Shayamalan.
The Village has an all star cast. A big twist as expected. Bryce Dallas Howard, William Hurt, Sigourney Weaver, Joaquin Phoenix, Adrien Brody, Brendan Gleeson, Judy Greer. Set centuries ago in America. A small village similar to the Amish lifestyle. A thriller drama cert 15. A close knit community that fears the outside world. There is a love story. Scary creatures lurk in the woods. As people are falling I'll. Some are willing to go to the nearest town to fetch medicine. I like he soundtrack. Bryce and Judy would again play sisters in Jurassic World.

A SciFi drama by M. Night Shyamalan. Starring Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix, Abigail Breslin, Cherry Jones and Rory Culkin. Cert 12. Aliens have come to Earth and this story focusses on a family farm. Odd things go on here and there. Crop circles are discovered. A clever film as most of the ones by this director are. Abigail was cute. I eventually sell DVDs on ebay. There are films like Independence Day, Skyline, Encounters Of The Third Kind, Invaders From Mars, The Darkest Hour, Skywalker Ranch, The Fifth Wave, Dark Skies, Roswell, The X-Files, The Outer Limits, The Day The Earth Stood Still to name a few. James Newton Howard provides the soundtrack. A 2002 Touchstone Pictures release. There are comedic moments as expected. Creepy scenes too. The children and their dialogue are the highlights. Be interesting to see grown up Abigail react to her younger self. Also see returning actors in future films. Glass is currently in production. America is a fascinating place considering the locations that they have used. Shyamalan always has a cameo role in his films. Great acting. Worth seeing discussions, theories and reviews of this film. Remember "swing away."

Welcome to the jungle
Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle starring Karen Gillan, Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart. A remake of the classic which starred Robin Williams. Cert 12. SciFi fantasy comedy. A few special features are included. Four teens have discovered an old school videogames console. They are transported into the game. The avatars are played by the adult cast. See how they have updated it for the millennial generation. Pays homage to the original. The blonde Bethany is nice. Karen looks hot as always. Nick Jonas plays one of the teens. See the trivia at IMDb. They are in detention. Great acting all round. Teens and adults playing the same characters. It makes it interesting. Humorous dialogue. A band of villains are after the jewel which the players must return in order to get home. Soundtrack

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Don't forget that Solo is out soon. Finally got a hold of the DVD. Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac and more. Cert 12. Plenty of nods to previous films. A good amount of humour, action and drama. There are cameos. I like this film more than the last one. I will be looking forward to Episode 9. You might like the soundtrack. Multiple scenarios. Amazon reviews will often have spoilers. I like the special effects. Daisy always look beautiful. Domhall Gleeson gives a superb performance. Andy Serkis, Laura Dern. I'm sure there was a reference to Jurassic Park. Surprises are in store. Nice dialogue with Isaac's character throughout but especially near the beginning. I recommend this film.
Luke Skywalker's peaceful and solitary existence gets upended when he encounters Rey, a young woman who shows strong signs of the Force. Her desire to learn the ways of the Jedi forces Luke to make a decision that changes their lives forever. Meanwhile, Kylo Ren and General Hux lead the First Order in an all-out assault against Leia and the Resistance for supremacy of the galaxy.
