So I saw Deadpool and Wolverine and it was perfection. From the moment the movie starts, Ryan hits the ground running with awesomeness. It is hilariously funny. And there are so many cameos and references, I could spend hours listing them all. Not that if you've never seen or read any Marvel stuff that you'd find it hard to understand, it is very easy to get into. Although I suppose it does have some spoilers for some of the older movies, but I suppose Deadpool 1 did as well. Anyway, it is definitely one of my favourite movies of the year so far.

I watched Twisters. I enjoyed the film - it is exactly how you'd imagine it be to, even without any prior knowledge. Lots of crazy action scenes as they chase tornados, with things getting whirled off into oblivion, or smashed into things. There was also a fair amount of weather science mentioned. Which I am assuming it was pretty accurate cos they had a very sizeable number of meteorologists listed in the credits. I don't remember the last time I watched Twister, so if there is any continuity between the 2, it was completely lost on me. I have a slight desire to watch it now to see how they compare.

I watched Fly Me To The Moon last week and it was glorious. I really liked it a lot cos well, I like space stuff and this is a movie about the Apollo 11 mission. And also the plan to have a fake version as a backup in case the real thing went FUBAR (which obviously didn't happen). And as I said already, it was glorious. It has everything - action, romance, comedy, explosions, fire, rockets and a very adorable looking cat.

It is certainly a movie I would happily go and see again in the not so distance future if there wasn't anything else showing at my local cinema that I fancied watching. Which might be the case as we still have far too many days until Deadpool 3 is showing 😁

I watched Kinds of Kindness tonight, the new film by the guy that did Poor Things. Actually it's 3 short films, with a common set of cast and sets. I'm not sure if there is a common theme, but that might be because I was in no way drunk or stoned enough to fully appreciate it. Basically it was utterly bonkers, far more so than Poor Things was. And I think I enjoyed it, except for the couple of bits of body horror.

One thing to note, there is a mid credit scene. Everyone else in the screening walked out before it happened, even though there was quite a large hint that there was something had yet to happen.
