I was a bit of a fan of the sword and sorcery genre when i was young... but never got round to watching Hawk, The Slayer... until last night. Even some of the better films in the genre are shoddy at best, but this is beyond shoddy. From the cheesy synthesiser soundtrack that wants to be War of the Worlds, the lazy assembling of 'the team' through meditative witchery, the non-existent fight choreography which is just quick editing and little actual fighting... to the inexplicable return of the witch at the end armed with sh!t loads of silly string which somehow incapacitates all the baddies by hitting just one of them. Beastmaster, in comparison, is worthy of several Oscars. 1/10 (for Roy Kennear's bit part)

We watched Midas Man (2024, but free on Prime). 8.7/10 for me :okay:
Story about Brian Epstein & the Beetles.
Very well told (& looks reasonably accurate!)

Thanks - I hadn't heard of that. I might watch it tonight and see what I think of it
I watched it a couple of nights ago. A 7/10 from me. It brought back some memories and told me a few things that I didn't already know.

Godfather ll

After finally watching the first one about six months ago I felt duty bound to watch the others, I wish I hadn't bothered now.

After the success of the first film I can see why they might want to cash in with the story of how Vito got to the position he was in, but the jumping backwards and forwards didn't work for me, and where were the missing years where Michael went from taking over the family business, to being where he was at the start of the second film.

Is it really worth me watching the third one?

Yes.

Perform a Men in Black mind wipe and pretend Godfather II didn’t happen

Oblivion... Which is where it should have been sent to! :laugh:

I had thought that the featured mind-wiping technique did not exist, but halfway through the film I realised that I had watched it before so it obviously does, and my wipe was only as effective as that done on Tom Cruise's character!
