Logan didn't play at my local theater. Debating whether or not to see the latest iteration of Pirates of the Caribbean. It's t shirt and shorts weather and summer blockbuster time.

I saw Wonder Woman earlier today. It was better than the lack of marketing would have you believe. Still, I felt a little bit manipulated by the Hollywood machine, ah the seduction of propaganda.

Just watched War Machine and Headshot on Netflix. Headshot was a quite nice kung fu movie and war machine... well not bad, but missed some opportunities

I saw Wonder Woman. It was good but not great. Much better than the other recent DC movies (BvS,Suicide Squad) but pretty limp compared to the recent Marvel movies.
Gal Gadot was great though. She captured that character very well.

Started watching INTO THE BADLANDS tv series. It was on AMC and now on Netflix. Mix of post apocalypse and kung fu movies. Good but not great but lots of fun.

Had a bit of a film fest whilst on holiday...
'The Fits', an american film about a young girl that wants to join a dance troupe. Then members of the group start coming down with seizures. Not as exciting as I might have made it sound but it was a good film about trying to fit in with the in crowd.
'Electric Bugaloo - The wild and untold story of Canon Films'. Documentary about Canon films, managed to last 10 minutes before we turned it of!
'Train to Busan'. Korean zombie film, really, really good. Action all the way and some great special effects.
'We are the Best'. A Swedish film about a group of kids that start a punk band. Quite fun but a little dragged out in some parts.
For the rest of the hols we are concentrating on 'Line of Duty' a British series about the police anti-corruption unit, watched the first episode yesterday and really enjoyed it.

Electric Boogaloo is actually really interesting. You did not even get to the good stuff but you may have to have an appreciation for real bad movies and a studio that far exceeded their reach and somehow made history.
The stuff in the mid 1980's that they were able to pull off is amazing.

I recently saw La Danseuse, a French film about the innovative dancer/choreographer Louise Fuller, which touches on her rivalry with Isadora Duncan. It is a big change from the regular diet of Hollywood blockbusters that the local cinema offers. Oh well, you take what you can get.

Spider-Man:Homecoming was tonight's entertainment. Tom Holland puts in a good performance, same for Marissa Tomei and Michael Keaton. Kudos to the casting director for assembling a diverse and interesting team of actors.

Went to see kedi at the weekend, a documentary about the stray/feral cats of Istanbul. If you like cats find this film and watch it, if not then probably don't bother :-)
