The Girl on the Train (2021)
Reasonably watchable but I would stick to the original
Reasonably watchable but the original is much better.
Whole pages of dialogue are lifted from the original film, such as Mira's monologue on the train at the beginning of the film.
Also, the film gains nothing from being set in the UK, when almost everyone in the cast is an Indian and they speak Hindi for most of the time, even to non-Indian Brits. Why do Indian films always do that?
The scriptwriters show their ignorance of how the British police work - no interview rooms used and evidence is not stored by Forensics; police officers walk around with it in their pockets. Suspects are slapped and assaulted in public. Perhaps the Indian police work like that and the scriptwriters have simply transposed this onto the UK police.
i thought that Kirti Kulhari's acting was quite good though.
Absolutely (1989)
A forerunner of short sketch comedy shows
I loved Absolutely. It seems to me to be a forerunner of short sketch comedy shows such as The Fast Show, Little Britain and Goodness Gracious Me.
My favourite character was Morwena Banks' little girl character.
Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
I liked this film
I'm going to disagree with most reviewers and say that I liked this film.
OK, it has flaws: it is predictable, and mirrors T2 in a lot of places, but I think that it is the best Terminator film since T2. Just like T2, it keeps you guessing about who the baddie is for quite a while. The action was dialled-up a lot more than T2.
I really liked MacKenzie Davis and Gabriel Luna in this and Natalia Reyes gave a ballsy performance too.
I didn't mind that the cast was mostly female.
The Kid Who Would Be King (2019)
Entertaining for a kids' movie
Entertaining for a kids' movie.
Also, Rebecca Ferguson as Morgana was very hot (speaking as a Dad). 8-)
V-Wars (2019)
So terrible...
Don't bother watching.
Awful acting.
Stupid things happen, eg. people fly a helicopter into Antartica during a giant snowstorm. No one flies there during such bad weather....
Two guys are isolation as they may be infected, but their boss opens the door and walks in without protective clothing or breathing mask....
