I could just cheat and say, check out my blog. 😁

I watched more films, but I don’t review every one I watch. So far in May, I have reviewed:

Titan A.E. — A Don Bluth (Space Ace, Dragon’s Lair, The Secret of Nimh) animated space adventure. Unfortunately, it’s just meh.

Rebel Moon: The Scargiver — I know these films get a lot of bashing and hate, but I’ve really enjoyed them. Looking forward to the R rated extended cuts too.

Beowulf & Grendel — Gerard Butler in an adaptation of the classic poem. Not a bad film, but the ‘making of’ documentary was more interesting than the film itself.

Terminator Salvation - I love the Terminator franchise but after Judgement Day, the quality starts to fluctuate. I decided to give this another watch and see how I felt about it. Probably haven’t seen it since I bought it on Blu-ray over a deade ago.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire — Here’s my Letterboxd review. I enjoyed it, not quite as much as the original, but it is really a set-up for the next film.

The Phantom Menace (5th May): went to see it in the cinema yesterday because it was Revenge of the Fifth. It’s many faults have been picked over endlessly (the repeated racism, the clunky dialogue, the flat acting, the endless politics, the weird grooming subplot, etc) but there’s plenty to like: Liam Neeson is rock solid throughout carries the film (even if QGJ makes some questionable calls), the widespread use of physical effects (I believe it’s the Star Wars movie with the largest amount of it) backed by CGI makes it look great, Brian Blessed is clearly having a blast (which is never not entertaining), the pod-racing segment is real edge-of-your-seat 'cinema (although I wss in a reclining chair, so not literally) and the Duel of the Fates is top notch. So, despite it’s faults, I was entertained (as I was when I first saw it, just this time without thr rollercoaster of high expectations before and the taste of disappointment after) and I always forget how the Star Wars theme hits me when blasted out of cinema speakers (I started welling up).
