Upcoming movies

Godzilla Minus One. This one may just tempt me back into the cinema for the first time since 2019. Out Dec 15 in the UK.

Just got back. 'Twas very good. Odd bit of bad acting, and occasionally the monster's eyes looked a bit weird to me but generally the graphics & effects were excellent and the story was much more grounded than the recent US versions have been.


There was a trailer for a new American Godzilla/Kong movie which just looked so, so ridiculously stupid it beggars belief. And it probably has a budget upwards of $250 million. The Japanese made this film for less than $15 million I believe.

Saw it myself this evening. Excellent monster romp

Hopefully going to see this next week:

  I'm not sure if that is too close to a potential reality or a needed warning

Rebel Moon II out on the 19th April (on Netflix) - I shall watch it out of interest but I have no great expectations that it will be any better than the first one

Civil War was great. Just got back. Two thumbs up from me. If you want to see it, use the cinema. Not so much for the visual spectacle, but for the sound.

Now to see if I can fit Dune 2 in before it disappears.

Just binge watched "Fallout" on Amazon Prime.

It's the TV miniseries set in the Fallout computer game world.

I don't think you need to have played Fallout to enjoy the series, but it probably helps with some of the nuances.

The action rollicks along at a decent pace and flips between the three main characters in a way that I found easy to follow.

I enjoyed it.

We are enjoying Fallout too, as it's easy watching and with a quirky sense of humour. Visually it's stunning and love that whole 1950's America vibe they have going on, with lots of great 'adverts' in the background that are fun to read if you spot them in time.

I enjoyed it. 

Aye, me too.

[Big Insect]

Just started & finding it fun and easy to dip in & out of. But not an 'obsessive' binge-watch for me (unlike Shogun) .... "got to go and what todays episode now" 

[Raider4]

Just watched this, thoroughly entertaining.

Though there are at least half a dozen moments when you go "what are they doing now?" or "what was the point of that?", and the ending is a real "Eh? How?". But overall very enjoyable.

Well .... what is there to say!!! YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWN

Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed it as well - especially the whole low budget approach, which seemed to fit the historical time-line perfectly.
I also saw the trailer for the next Godzilla-Kong movie. Maybe if I was trapped on an airline flight long-enough I might be forced to watch it, but it is all starting to get even more ridiculous, if that is at all possible.
NB: I did once (many years back) fight a rather good 6mm scale 'Pacific Rim'* game using FWC - with Battletech mechs and old plastic GW Genestealers as the Kaiju - which was fun. (* ours was called 'Baltic Rim' to allow me to use my Neo-Soviet ground forces).

Always wondered why I've never seen anything about the events of 1066 - surely one of the pivotal events of English history.

Step forward the BBC:

Looks fun

We know we will all bitch about historical inaccuracies, but it looks fun
