Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill, DeWanda Wise, Mamoudou Athie, BD Wong, Omar Sy, Campbell Scott. This is the final film in the series. The cast from the original trilogy and recent actors are in this. This made reference to the original. Four years after the last film. Humans are having to coexist with the dinosaurs. It is definitely a post apocalyptic world. An interesting story. Claire and Owen are living out in the woods. Maisie is with them. Certain dinosaurs are being rescued from cruelty. It doesn't shy away from gruesome deaths. There is plenty of swearing. I noticed children in the theatre. They were accompanied by an adult. People did nip to the toilet. I wasn't sure if some had decided to leave. It is a cert 12A. Biosyn is another company dealing in genetics. Many groups have taken an interest in what the dinosaurs have to offer. Some men want to take Maisie away. A swarm of locusts have been attacking farms. Dr Sattler and Dr Grant have gone to the organisation to get evidence. Dr Malcolm has written another book and gives lectures at the facility. You have the ceo who has a likeness to Jobs and Gates. Bryce has fantastic breasts. The dinosaurs are great. There is a variety out there. Good cast of actors. The soundtrack can overwhelm the scene. There is a 007 Mission Impossible vibe. Worth taking a look. See the trivia.

What's your favourite scary movie?
Scream 5 released in 2022. Starring a mixed cast. New actors and some from previous films. Makes references to the horror genre, Wes Craven, the original film and toxic fans. No doubt this will trigger them. I didn't bother with the 4th film. I only saw parts of it. Great acting from all the cast. Neve and David looked for their age. You have suspicions of certain characters. The film hints that anyone could be a killer. People getting wounded yet somehow surviving. Set 25 years later. A teenage girl is the first to be attacked. Her sister has to return to the town. There is a family secret. Sidney, Gail and Dewey are contacted for help. Some creative kills. Good effects. The soundtrack is good. I believe this to be the final film. Starring: Melissa Barrera; Mason Gooding; Jenna Ortega; Jack Quaid; Marley Shelton; Courteney Cox; David Arquette; Neve Campbell.

Scream 6. A sequel within the franchise. I believe that they could have ended the story with the 5th film. I did hope that this was it. But apparently there was an end credits scene which I didn't stay for. Set in New York. You have returning characters. Some new ones too. The women are hot. I did wonder if Hayden had work done. Melissa and Jenny look hot. Nice running scene. The kills are creative and I wanted to see the heroes fight back. I watched this at the cinema. I will see it again on streaming sites. The film buff girl was annoying. How can someone that is attacked survive? From a line spoken by a character I understood who the villain was. Neve Campbell was meant to reprise her role but because of a pay dispute she walked away. From the trailer it looked like The Purge. More killers on the loose. From the opening scenes it offers something new. Must check trivia. Having a ghost/memory made it different. It is clever how it references the movie genre. Some of the gang are at college. There is a conspiracy theory blaming Sam for the killings. Good closing and opening music. Good acting and special effects. There will be those that are disappointed with the film. I liked it. I started to question some scenes. Others will too. Look at the reviews and trivia once you have seen the film.

Gotta get up
I have started watching Comedy Drama series Russian Doll. Showing on Netflix. I assumed the episode to be longer. Set in New York. Starring: Natasha Lyonne; Greta Lee; Yul Vazquez; Elizabeth Ashley; Charlie Barnett; Chloë Sevigny.
Natasha is also creator and producer. Last thing that I saw her in was the American Pie films. She is a talented actress. Nadia is a video games developer attending a birthday party. She would diea at some point in the night and relive the same day. Looking at the people I can assume them to be liberals, artists. The costume and props department will have had fun with this. You are on the edge of your seat as you don't know how she get struck down. When making these time loop stories the actors would have done alot, sometimes repeating lines. Her cat Oatmeal is missing. There are a bunch of eclectic characters. I like the soundtrack. Some of the dialogue is weird. I personally believe that she is in purgatory. A clever show. Plenty of visual clues. Season 1 is straightforward. Season 2 takes a weird turn. I will have to look at theories and explanations about the show. Great cast of actors. Worth checking out. You might have already seen Final Destination, Happy Death Day, Edge Of Tomorrow, Boss Level, Inside Llewyn Davis, Groundhog Day, Lost.
I went to see Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness. J18 was the seat, screen 8. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Stuhlbarg. There are many more actors but you will have to see the film. The film had only been out a few days and people were posting spoilers on YouTube. Taking place after No Way Home. Also events from Doctor Strange and Wandavision are referenced. The multiverse is real. I can assume that you have been watching all the Marvel films and shows. Stephen has been attending the wedding of Christine. Meanwhile these creatures have been after America Chavez. She is quite cute. She has powers. Has the ability to move between universes. Wanda has been using the Darkhold. She wants to be reunited with her children. She is badass. America's powers will help Wanda. Stephen wants to protect the kid. They are sent to various locations. As this film is directed by Sam Raimi there is more horror. Expect some cameos. Which leads to the end credits scene just being there for humour. So you don't need to stay in the cinema for that. There is a post credits scene. So I guess there is a third film. I am wondering when Loki, Hawkeye, Captain America films will appear. I am going to see Thor: Love And Thunder. There is still a Guardians Of The Galaxy sequel to be made. I was reminded of What If. Elizabeth is hot in that Scarlet Witch outfit. Benedict and Elizabeth have been killing it. The mole on Rachel's face is bothersome. Good effects. No doubt the antisjw bellends will be triggered by something. I should not mention them as they are irrelevant. Interesting soundtrack. I will look at trivia and discussions. There are the usual reaction channels that will see this.
Stranger Things season 4. The long awaited scifi horror is back. The cast are very much older. They have had various films and TV roles. There is a short recap. This episode established where they all are. There is a flashback sequence. 1986 and the characters have come back to Hawkins. Those that had left last season that is. The basketball competition is almost at an end. Mike and gang would be playing D&D. Lucas has to play basketball as it is the finals. They need to convince the leader of the Hellfire Club to reschedule. The actor reminded me of a young Robert Downey Jr. He could play another version of Tony Stark. Dustin is still in touch with his girlfriend who can hack a computer. Max is going through some trauma. Hopper has sent a package to Joyce. Eleven and Will are at college together. She has to face these bullies. The older cast that were teens are dealing with issues. Jonathan over in California. Nancy is a reporter. Robin is in a brass band. Steve works at a video store. There is Chrissy that has gifts and is connected to the Upside Down. The main villain is probably the king of that realm. I understand this to be the final season. Showing on Netflix now.
Millie Bobby Brown, Eduardo Franco, Priah Ferguson, Sadie Sink, Maya Hawke, Joe Keery, Noah Schnapp, Charlie Heaton, Natalia Dyer, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, Joseph Quinn, Winona Ryder.

Smeg
I watched Red Dwarf: The Promised Land. A two part special on Uktv. I looked up reactions on YouTube and saw a video from MechaKaren labelling it as woke. Well she is a dumbass and has clearly never seen the show. You can tell who is rightwing. But anyway don't let that spoil it for you. I did think that they would have left it as it was with the last series. As now the cast are much older. You have young cast members that might not have been born during the original run. Packed full of gags. Good special effects. This show never took itself seriously. A cult scifi programme. Very British. Good having a live studio audience. Some interesting dialogue. There are ad breaks which I didn't like. As it happens there is a ship of the Cat people. All the little things that cats do gets referenced here. Rodon is the leader and main villain. He wants to be worshipped. There is a stone of Anubis that he wants. He orders these clerics to be executed. They escape and hope to run into their God. Meanwhile on board Red Dwarf things go as they always do. There is worry over how Lister has been behaving. Mention of him being the last human. There is the Ouroboros episode that I thought of. As a back up disc of the A.I. Holly was found, they booted him up. It leads to complications. The crew are on board Starbug drifting further into space. Calamity ensues. The chanting was cringe worthy. The opening credits shows various scenes could be spoilers. You will recognise some actors. I don't know if there will be anything after this. Good soundtrack. Chris Barry, Craig Charles, Danny John Jules, Robert Lewellyn, Norman Lovett. An action adventure that I recommend.

Les Revenants
In an idyllic French Alpine village, a seemingly random collection of people find themselves in a state of confusion as they attempt to return to their homes. What they do not yet know is that they have been dead for several years, and no one is expecting them back. Buried secrets emerge as they grapple with this miraculous and sinister new reality, struggling to reintegrate with their families and past lovers. But it seems they are not the only ones back from the dead. Their arrival coincides with a series of gruesome murders that bear a chilling resemblance to the work of a serial killer from the past... Stars Anne Consigny, Frederic Pierrot, Clotilde Hesme.
I have started watching season 2 of Les Revenants aka The Returned. I watched season 1 many years ago on Channel 4. I may have started season 2 back then but did not finished. Had to see how it pans out. Essentially it is a French horror drama. Set in a small village. The deceased residents have returned. They don't realise that they are dead. Want to carry on with life as normal. Some found it hard to adapt. There are a variety of characters. There was some sex and nudity. It was a good show. A few main protagonists. A young boy that is quiet and creepy. There was a serial killer on the loose. A major confrontation between the residents. You might also like La Horde, District 9, Big Bug, L'Haine, Taxi.

The last starfighter
If you are interested in Ebooks
The Adam Project is a scifi drama starring Ryan Reynolds, Jennifer Garner, Catherine Keener, Mark Ruffalo, Walker Scobell, Zoe Saldana, Alex Mallari Jr. A Netflix film directed by Shawn Levy. In 2050 time travel is possible. A mature man named Adam is on his time ship and is being chased by Sorian with her team of soldiers. He flies through a wormhole landing in 2022 where he meets his 12 year old self. His mother is a single parent. The father had passed away. Adam's wife had gone missing. He was intending to go save her. The child actor is good. He and Ryan have good chemistry. Both able to play different versions of the same character. Good special effects. The cgi/deepfake for young Sorian is obvious. The stunt scenes aren't bad. Interesting what happens to person when killed. Nice sentimental moments. As you would get from a time travel film. People were saying how this is like those classic live action Disney films. This does contain swearing and violence. Reynolds was a producer. Worth checking out. Nice soundtrack. Will look at the trivia and discussion. A few actors that have been involved with the Marvel franchise. I wasn't entirely convinced of the relationship between Adam and his wife. That's because of the actors. If you look at the Cduniverse website you will find many similar films. You might like Flight Of The Navigator, The Last Starfighter, The Kid, Looper, The Tomorrow War, The Time Traveller's Wife, About Time, I'll Follow You Down, The Jacket, Frequency,The Butterfly Effect, The Time Machine, Primer, Back To The Future, Doctor Who, Predestination, Project Almanac, Shifter, Edge Of Tomorrow, Groundhog Day, Happy Death Day, Triangle, Boss Level, In The Shadow Of The Moon.
