I've not yet seen Tarzan in English, only in Swedish, but Phil Collins have some real great songs on that soundtrack.
What film did you watch last night?

The songs are a little jarring in that they are sort of background themes - it isn’t musical theatre, which I think it a bit more common in Disney films. I didn’t pay much attention to them but I’ll check it out!!

Top Secret - 4/10
Watched it after comments here. I don't think it made me even smile... which is odd, as I definitely loved Naked Gun when it was released. Tbf, I lost interest early on and was on my laptop through most of the film.

Each to their own, it is one of my favourites. Your comment about the laptop rings true as that is the reason why Police Squad was cancelled back in the day. The TV exec cancelled it as you had to watch it to enjoy it, meaning that not giving it full attention means you would miss half if the small visual gags in the background.

I get it, but I think my point was, when watching, I didn't particularly enjoy it. The 'I know a little German' was as close as I came to a giggle. Nothing at the little horse... blokes landing on a pigeon statue to pee on it, nothing... maybe they were too obvious?
Spectral off netflix
probably a 6/10
decent concept, some decent acting but then gets stupid by one scientist creating 20+ super guns iron man style. Think Iron Man 1, when he created the iron man suit in the cave. Now picture him creating 10+ of these in the same space of time, only more hightec

Following a real ex-Mafia member Michael Franzese's review of how the 1996 HBO Gotti film is still one of the most authentic Mafia films around, and much better than the recent Travolta effort, I re-watched the 1996 Gotti starring the truly underrated Armand Assante in the titular role.
Apparently, of all the movie portrayals of Gotti and mobsters in general, Assante's performance is one of the most authentic and realistic. Assante is superb in the role and basically is good in everything he's ever been in. An actor that never forgets he's there to entertain above all. This performance makes some of the more recent tired and bored performance efforts we've had from the 'legends' of De Niro and Pacino look like lazy, half assed efforts.
Assante could have played any role De Niro or Pacino had just as well in their prime, and better than either in their later years when both look bored and not putting much effort in.
The film also features many Soprano's actors (plus Goodfellas etc) and actually feels a lot like a prelude to the Sopranos in some ways. Highly recommended in general and for the superb, authentic and highly entertaining Armand Assante performance as Gotti.

Not the kind of film that interests me of late but I did enjoy this.
It was quite compelling to see how things would turn out.
Great performances by all and I was pleasantly surprised to see Willem Dafoe in this.

Idiocracy, it was just ok, Maybe not to far from the truth with how things might turn out?

Whiplash (4K version) - 10/10.
Watched this in 4K for the first time, having watched the original release a few years ago. I loved it at the time, and now it's just as good as I remember it. That ending is so, so good. Definitely solidified itself in the ranks as one of my favourite films of all time now

That scene in the bedroom with Margot Robbie and the nanny cam. God damn.

We own the night - decent film with Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg. Good story and quite tense at times. 6.5/10.
Sum of all fears - Good film, kept me hooked all the way through, although it could be a little hard to follow at times. 7/10.
Left behind- 2014 disaster movie with Nicolas Cage. Tbh, it’s more of a calamity lol. One of the worst films I have ever seen. Cage’s acting is worse than ever, along with the rest of the cast and the whole thing is absurdity of the highest level. I’ll give it a point through gritted teeth just for the uber hot air stewardess. 1/10
