Venom: A Review

3rd February, 2019.

OK … 

It’s just gone half past ten, if you must know.

And I am feeling decidedly annoyed at myself.

For putting my phone in the wrong place.

And not catching it in time: as it got knocked, gently slid off my desk … and landed face down on a floorboard.

You can possibly guess what I found when I picked it up, can’t you?

Yep.

£200 worth of octa-core phone … with a smashed screen.

I am — with some excuse — not a happy bunny.

But one who can, at least, head into town, tomorrow, to see if his meagre savings will get the screen replaced.

~≈§≈~

Right now, though, I’ve just seen a movie: having got back from my family’s place on the other side of town.

Vaguely thinking that I should, at least, try and spend more time with my nephew.

He’s now eight … and, I think, getting a taste for silly voices …

As you’ve possibly noticed from the introductory video.

A bit more time with Jude’s a good way — I’ve found — of putting a smile on a a face.

And certainly got me heading home in a better mood than when I went out.

At least … certainly in the mood for a movie … 

You’re right: it’s the one in the poster.

The 2018 release that is … … 

Venom.

Black Panther: A Review

1st July, 2018.

You know, you can TELL it’s a Sunday night in, can’t you … ?

Yep.   It’s a Sunday night … 

It’s a Sunday night off … 

And yes: it’s a Sunday night where I’ve cleaned my pants.

Which I think is something I think you’d rather not know, but there you go.

At any rate?

It’s Sunday.

I’ve got Kraftwerk’s Autobahn on in the background.

And I’ve just seen a movie: the 2018 release, Black Panther.

And, yes: I am impressed, thank you!

Wonder Woman: Not Perfect, but very watchable

5th October, 2017

You know, I’m feeling vaguely rushed, tonight.

Rushed … and nervous.

Frankly?

I’ve had the day off, today.

And was expecting a rather important call.

Which hasn’t happened, yet.

So I’m expecting all sorts!

On top of that?   I have an early start, tomorrow.

Ideally, I should be getting an early night, because of that.

But … ?

I did want to tell you I’d seen something, tonight.

That’s right … 

Wonder Woman.

Deadpool: How to Have Fun … !

15th October, 2016.

You know … 

I DO like to sit down with a movie, if I ever get the chance.

No, really.

If you’ve been paying attention for the past few years?   You’d’ve probably noticed!

I tend … to go for … well … 

All sorts of things, actually.

But usually don’t watch the Marvel franchise, or the X-Men films.

They’ve not usually grabbed my interest.

I’m not going to tell you they’re bad.

They’ve just never especially appealed, that’s all.

One that had, though?

Was the film I finally decided to catch, tonight.

Yep … 

I’ve FINALLY sat down and watched the 2016, Tim Miller directed, Deadpool.

And, yes … this posts title really could be misinterpreted.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Now, THAT’S Fun … !

5th March, 2015.

You know, it’s not often I do this.

No, really.

I don’t: not often.

Which has possibly got you wondering what the HELL I’m talking about, hasn’t it?

Well, if you hadn’t guessed, it’s not that often I watch two films in the space of the one week.

This week?

This week, I have, though.

What’s more … ?   The two films in question are both very good: and very different.

Monday … ?   Well, on Monday, I managed to catch the murky — and really, very good — Australian horror film, The Babadook.

Tonight, on the other hand … ?

Tonight, though, I caught something else I’d been meaning to watch.

The 2014 release that is … Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It’s as different from The Babadook as a film can be.

Just as good: but very different … and a lot of fun.

The Amazing Spiderman 2: Nice!

23rd February, 2015.

Pheeeew … !

It has to be said, it feels good to have watched a film.

No, really!

If you’ve been following me for a while — I hope you have — you’d realise that … 

Well, I’m not a film fan.

Or buff.   Or maven.   Or scholar.   Or what have you.

Definitely not.

In point of fact, I think I’d be vaguely offended if you used the term of me.

No.   The way I see myself … ?   Is simply as someone who enjoys watching films.

And watching a film … ?   Watching a film is something I managed to do tonight.

You’d guessed, hadn’t you?

It’s not like the The Amazing Spiderman 2 poster is inconspicuous, now is it … ?

Hancock — Big Budget FUN!

28th January, 2015.

You know, there’s nights when I get bored.

I’ve the night off, no-one’s around, nothing’s on TV, and frankly … ?

Frankly I’ve no need — right at the moment — to get romping on writing Teasers: nor to knock out a batch of the accompanying slideshows.

What to do, one wonders … ?

Especially if one has no actual cash with which to head out.

Personally?

Personally, I like to catch a movie, if possible.

Or listen to music.

Or write … 

Or … 

Well, there’s plenty of stuff I do.

Tonight … ?

Tonight, wanting a film — and only having a few pounds in my iTunes account — I raided my collection.

Frankly … ?   Frankly, I’m glad a copy of the 2006, Will Smith film, Hancock sitting around.

I’d’ve been rather bored, without.

~≈Á≈~

The Amazing Spider Man: Well, finally … !

You know, I have to admit, I’m giving Bruce — my aging 2007 era Mac Mini — something of a work-out at the moment.

Partly where I’m writing this post, of course.

And partly where I’ve got an extra Safari window open, watching a documentary I’d missed, last night.

Fascinating stuff about the Dark Ages, I should add.

But that’s not why I actually started this post off.

No.

I ACTUALLY started it to tell you about the movie I rented from iTunes, last night.

And I’m guessing you’ve possibly twigged it’s got a well known New York based character in it … 

Yep … You’ve guessed it, haven’t you … ?

I managed to the 2012 franchise reboot*, The Amazing Spider~Man.

And I actually think that amazing is a fairly good word to attach to the title …
