Ten years since Edge of Tomorrow got released. Best video game movie ever (despite not being based on a video game). Holds up brilliantly on rewatch - it is superb.

And of course

Five reboots out of five Omegas

right up there with movies like "The Martian" that if i come across them on tv i'll happily sit down and watch

the video games comment really threw me, before reading on, was very much "WHAT? how did i not know it was a video game...must play"

very torn between wanting the sequel to happen...and wanting them to just leave it as it is

Was joking that we should re-release the movie with 'Edge of Tomorrow 2' ... but the movie is identical

I'd always thought Edge of Tomorrow was a bit of of a guilty pleasure. But now... gonna have a hit on the old MJ, and watch again...

Another movie my brother has just finished working on, this one for almost a full year on the SFX...

The Gorge, on Apple+ next year, 14 Feb.

The trailer is already better than the last 8 seasons of The Walking Dead and its associated spinoffs

Given those infected with The Rage were already starving to death after 28 Days how the fuck have they survived 28 years?

I watched this last night (Chinese with English subtitles, not like this trailer which is dubbed)

10/10 no notes

@dogmeat because zombie movies are the dumbest and dullest genre fare

That’s fantasy genre

@bayimports Both genres should be banned.

Watched it with the other half. Wasn’t too bad.

Moana 2

I quite like kid's animated movies I watched with the family when younger and often try and catch sequels/remakes when the come out, so tried Moana 2.

My advice: don't

Bland, pointless, boring, paint by numbers waste of time, even for a kids movie.

1 at least there was popcorn out of 5 can I have my two hours back please.

Took Ms CF Jr to Wicked. I wasn't familiar with the Wizard of Oz story, or the Wicked musical. But I quite enjoyed it, sort of a Hogwarts and Wizard of Oz mashup.

Napoleon. Holy fook this was bad. Farking awful. Appalling not only in terms of historical accuracy but was also a meandering mess with umpteen scenes of Napoleon mulling over some issue while eating. The final Waterloo battle had some cool scenes, but was ruined by an absurdly camp performance by the dude playing Wellington and a guy with a fůcking sniper rifle!!! Complete trash.

Blink Twice. Also shit. Potentially interesting premise about billionaire luring people to his private island and abusing them (shades of Epstein) but poorly executed, poorly acted and boring. Only interest in seeing what Christian Slater and the kid from Sixth Sense are up to these days. Clearly not much.

Best thing about Napoleon was war pigs song on the trailer
