Columbo
Never again
That could be true. Seems streaming services are going for quantity over quality.

The last film I saw was Monsters Inc. Ngl, I actually got emotional when watching it because of the end since
The Eternals.
Was boring. I think Marvel films, but this is the first one that was just boring.
No Time To Die
Massive Bond fan. Grew up with them. Loved Craig's Bond. Gasino Royale is one of my all-time favourite films, so I've got a deep emotional connection to his Bond. The rest of his films have ups and downs, but I really enjoy them all. Even if I really hated the choices they made with Blofeld in Spectre and trying to wrap up the previous films into that. This film encapsulates everything that is Craig's time as Bond. It's a mix of all that.
Some really great stuff. Not so great and also stuff that doesn't work for me. The villain's plot is weak, but then you don't go to a Bond film for the villain's evil plan.
The first hour is fantastic. Absolutely superb without a misstep. There's a great scene in Cuba and Arna De Armas is a treat! The second hour is still great but some cracks appear. Last 40 minutes it kind of goes off the rails. Gets a bit messy but still with great stuff throughout it. This might be sound like I've being done, but the film does remake good throughout. I just ultimately wasn't satisfied by how they sought to bring all the lose ends together with wrapping up the villian's plot and Craig's time as Bond. like how I didn't like how they tried that in Spectre. Yet ultimately, still a great watch.
It actually kind of is following the trajectory of the previous 4 films, condensed into one movie.
The 2 hour and 40 minutes flies by. There's never a dull or boring moment in the film. Superbly crafted and made.
They're said it's definitely Craigs last film. Sad to see the end of his era but of course, as it says at the end of the credits. "James Bond will return."
I'll be there for that, hoping they can knock it out of the park like they did with Brosnan's and Craig's first entries.

Rabbit movie is next on my list
Takiti and the entire cast of Flight of the concords being my favourite NZs, plus Sam Neil and the boy from Wilderpeople
NZ humour is very droll and awesome
Movies seen lately
Wonder Woman 80s, sucked but I love her
And Charlize Theron as Megan Kelly in the movie about dirty old man roger Ailes,
OMG Theron ...it was difficult to tell she isn’t Megan, so nailed that performance

First trips to the cinema this week since I saw The Invisible Man on 29th March 2020.
No Time To Die: I quite enjoyed it. It’s James Bond, I don’t need to explain it.
Dune: I have pretty much the same feeling I had after reading the book. Great worldbuilding, but average plot and mediocre characters means not much emotional involvement for me.

I think, therefore I am, I think ...
Is Dune a remake of the old one with Sting in it?

Yes. Though this one is really Dune part one.
Thankfully they are filming part two next year.
Han Solo dropping a shipment of spice is what got him in trouble with Jabba the Hutt.
Spider-Man No Way Home.
So so sooo very good! Really enjoyable, some big payoffs. Audience in my session cheered on more than one occasion. Absolutely loved it. No spoilers.

Dune : Part One
It sucks we still have to wait for part 2. I really enjoyed it. It didn't initially grab me, but pretty soon into it I just got swept up in the world, the story and the visuals.
Saw it in IMAX which was the way to see it.
The girlfriend tried to watch it at home, found it boring, couldn't understand what was going on and turned it off after a bit over an hour.

The Northman
A raw emotional journey of revenge. Had a great time in the cinema watching this. It's the mythic tale from Norse mythology that inspired Hamlet. Told as a mythic tale, not as real history. Although probably one of the more realistic depictions of Viking times, despite the mythic, supernatural elements.
I could understand this gritty, dark film may not be for everyone. The Girlfriend and I both loved it though.
