I think the kids will give this one a swerve

I've seen a couple of reviews that aren't mainstream, saying it's a pretty good movie and ranks quite high up there with their live-action re-makes.

No doubt the PC attempts will overshadow any story, and Disney will continue to learn "go woke, go broke" the hard way (good!)

No doubt it will be on Disney Plus by the end of April which is the best way to measure the commercial success of their movies (Moana took nearly 4 months) - The poorer performers tend to land after about 6/7 weeks.

[Gormalysis]

It wouldn't be so bad if they were actually good movies but they rarely anything more than "yeah, it was alright" and quickly forgotten about. Hopefully it flops so badly that Disney give up on these pointless bland remakes and start making movies again, we know they can do it.

Maybe I'm just remembering the halcyon days of being taken to see films like Aladdin, Lion King and Toy Story in the cinema and was just hoping I could repeat this by taking my own to see great movies like that instead of the Disney slop we are currently being served. (before anyone points out it's because I'm an adult now, Coco and Moana are both original and good).

On another note, might go and watch Novocaine when it comes out, looks fun in a Bullet Train kind of way.

Mickey 17

A promising and interesting concept that delivered very little. By the end I felt as if I were watching a mishmash of Avatar and Don't Look Up, with references to real world politics that lacks any kind of subtlety. Robert Pattinson's performance was the one positive I can give.

I read the book Mickey 7. Felt the same about that to be honest.

Hans Zimmer: Diamond in the Desert - a live concert interspersed with interviews with some key collaborators such as Johnny Marr, Denis Villeneuve, Jerry Bruckheimer, Christopher Nolan, etc.

A great watch, all tremendously atmospheric and blood pumping soundtracks played on a great sound system in the cinema. Really want to see a live show now.

took my 8 year old daughter to the cinema yesterday to see Snow White
she liked it, but it was pretty rubbish

Amazed me the number of people without kids (mostly women) watching it

only saw a couple of fairly positive reviews the rest were dreadful.

read where it was top of the films this past weekend.. at least in the States...

Snow Brown more like.

It deserves all the pasting it gets after Zegler's many, many comments slating all and sundry.

I sense a short career for that one.

1.8 on imdb. I'd genuinely have to work hard to find stuff with a lower rating. Even Cats got 2.8.

I refuse to believe that it is worse than Meet The Spartans (2.8), The Room (3.6) and The Emoji Movie (3.4), especially Meet The Spartans, a film I knew was going to be terrible when going into it and I was still disappointed.

I suspect Snow White's "true score" will be around the 5 mark with the words "bland" and "unnecessary" next to it.

Took Thu and Fri off work as needed to use some holiday up before April.

Went to see Alto Knights and A Working Man at the cinema, both decent 3/5 films.

The De Niro film was the better of the two.

Coming soon

Novocaine. Couple of funny moments, very forgettable. A somewhat generous 5/10

[simonirons]

A few sources online say Disney have canned any further live-action remakes, including Tangled (Moana is nearing completion so will go ahead)

Minecraft Move with my kid. We enjoyed it. Shame about the really irritating TikTok trend.

There must have been a campaign to score it badly for it to score that low.

Marching Powder.
Yes I went to see the new Danny Dyer movie. I think it could possibly be the worst film I have ever seen at the cinema (and I saw Thor Love and Thunder).
Football Factory but they are all in their late 40s. There are no likeable characters, there is no redemption ark, and apart from a few titters it isn't really funny (although some bloke in the cinema seemed to find it hilarious). I wished I had waited until it had come out on TV, I could have switched it off.

Went and saw it tonight. Personally thought it was hilarious, but at the same time also sad because I think it reflected the reality that there are genuinely middle aged blokes out there that are like that and have deeper underlying issues then we may realise.

For those in Havering or nearby. formerly Premier Cinema now re-open with a face lift. Also doing classic movies for FREE at the moment. Please support this place if you can. Will be showing the big films, but also more leftfield choices too which I am certainly all for.

Knew very little about Minecraft but my 5 year old is obsessed for some reason.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and Jack Black is always a treat, can’t help but respect his desire to sing in every film he’s in.

Khal Drogo was equally as impressive in a comedic role.
