Skyscraper...

I do like Dwayne Johnson. He's an impressive action hero and I can't think of anybody else who is filling that gap, ie. big, expensive, B movie Action Films, like Skyscraper. The film is a shameless rip-off of Die Hard, in many respects. However, a lack of imagination, does not necessarily mean much, as it has been commercially very successful-people go and watch it anyway. There are some great, gut wrenching stunts. If heights make you nervous. Ahhhhhieee!

Rampage...again!

I'm looking at film releases in August and September and struggling to find much of interest. Thinking of Rampage...generally, if I don't go and see a film in the cinema, I will buy it on DVD later, but only if it meets my list of things, ie. is it exciting, has a likeable heroic character, a big cuddly monster...hmmm, etc. I do like those monster movies, for example, just a few...Jurassic Park, King Kong, the Alien films.

Ant Man

I would like to see Ant Man and the Wasp, though I'm not familiar with the Ant Man character from the Marvel Comic Books. In fact, I don't remember hearing of him...a bit obscure in comparison to the more established characters perhaps. Ant Man in 2015 had proved to be quite/ very successful and it had added a few dramatic twists and a good degree of humour to the genre. Not a surprise then that some sort of sequel would follow.

Book Club...again

I'm going to get the Book Club on DVD when it comes out, possibly August. I know I have mentioned it before and that it is based loosely on Fifty Shades of Grey, which I haven't read and doubt that I will ever read it. I suppose watching the DVD covers all the possibilities available. It does of course have a very good female cast.

Jane McDonald

There are lot of things I like about Jane McDonald, particularly her Yorkshire accent (she's from Wakefield). She has an endearing personality and I really like her voice. I suppose her musical style is very 'middle ofthe road', but there is something quite soothing and about her voice (vocal range) and her choice of song often allows her to express those qualities...

Mamma Mia...

Next week, Mamma Mia: Here we go again, will be out. I really would like to see this...probably because I do like musicals; or at least different music styles ('genres'); and I've always liked many of the songs of Abba. The first film was so successful, that there was always going to be a sequel and there was always going to be that massive 'feel good' factor to tap into. Of course it's not to every one's taste...

Mission Impossible

My film of the week is Mission Impossible: Fallout, though it doesn't come out in the cinema until 28 July. I'm really excited about the prospect of seeing this sixth instalment in the series. They  obviously can't kill off the established cast...yet, maybe they need to ?
