See How They Run (2022)

 


See How They Run is a really fun movie that I bet not a lot of people are going to see. WHICH IS A SHAME! Because as I said, it's fun! It is really refreshing to watch something a bit different, and this movie does a great job of poking fun at its own murder mystery genre. The two leads are great, their chemistry is brilliant and I especially couldn't get enough of Saoirse Ronan, she's brilliant in this and really carries the movie.

It suffers a little from pacing at points, there's a definite lull before the third act and maybe a slightly tighter edit would have helped it in that regard. However it is a great homage to Agatha Christie style murder mysteries and honestly I won't be doing a spoiler bit because I want you, yes you whoever is reading this, to watch this at some point. You'll have a fun time!

There's an exceptionally well orchestrated misdirect that I really appreciated. The jokes are good but weirdly sparing in this comedy, like I had a couple of laugh out loud moments but I felt like I wanted more. I guess in some ways it says a lot about the character writing that I wanted more, but it's still a shame I didn't get more.

See How They Run is a good time, you'll have fun with it but it's not good enough to reach the absolute heights it had the potential to hit.

It's a 7/10, Saoirse Ronan is such a talent and after seeing her in Lady Bird and now this I just want to see more of her.

ALL THE MOVIES I SAW AND FORGOT TO REVIEW

Me when I should be writing reviews^ Alright I got a bit lazy and stopped writing reviews but I kinda wanna pick this up as it was a bit of a laugh and I’m still of to the cinema big time and seeing stuff so I’m gonna do a speed run reviewing all the stuff I’ve seen (that I can remember). Oppenheimer (2023) IT WAS LIT! He blew up a big bomb but then felt really bad about it. But I’m raging because beforehand people said you would see his dick and we didn’t see Oppenheimers dick. We did see some boobs and bums but I was promised his dick. 9/10. Barbie (2023) I sang I’m just Ken in the shower for a week. It was funny, well performed and well written. There was one rant that didn’t really land at one point, and there was no need for Will Ferrells character to exist in this movie. 8/10. Haunted Mansion (2023) Utterly forgettable, why didn’t you release this in October? 2/10. A Haunting in Venice (2023) I poo’d my pants! It was much better than someone’s bloody died on the Nile. I had fun a...

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Lokimania

  I called this review Lokimania which I now realise may be misleading, given the distinct lack of Loki, but you needed reminding to watch Loki, or at least refresh your little mind. This movie was the definition of MID in my opinion, more like bloody Ant Mid: QuantumMIDia. There was a couple of decent moments, one joke I enjoyed was at the end, but for the most part this movie is weirdly light on jokes. Oh I'm just gonna spoil this by the way, it's like a 6/10, it's just a movie. LITTLE ANT SPOILERS AHEAD Alright so Modok was weird right? With his little bum and massive head? I don't think I liked it! But I think that was the point? I dunno, that all was weird and his death was weird. Oh the one joke I liked was at the end when he was having this realisation like "wait is all this terrible stuff gonna happen... Nah it'll be fine". That was a good joke I liked it. I am being so lazy with this review but the movie was lazy too, it was just a movie, like it ...

69 (2023)

  Ok so disclaimer I watched this on a plane lol. But I promise I was locked in! Gave it my full attention and didn't let my opinion be affected by the actual human shit that was my in-flight meal. Okay so bloody ages ago, an alien humanoid species (just humans tbh) do some travelling about and Adam Driver is one of them but then oh no they got asteroided out of space and crash land on earth but Christ on a bike it's during dinosaur times. It was really nice to watch a film about dinosaurs without Jurassic being in the title, I'm gonna start there. Adam Driver and a young girl (not his daughter) are the only survivors. His real daughter is dead, which is sad. It's also sad that Adam Driver is a bit stressed in this film for all of it, bloody dinosaurs all over the place, pricks. The young girl is annoying but real young girls are annoying so I guess that's a good acting job? She also doesn't speak English, so has a hard time communicating with ol' Adam. Adam...
