So, its been far too long since I last wrote anything, but I haven’t been sat idle friends!!

Since I last did a blog I’ve discovered the joy of audiobooks (I think I mentioned this before). I have read IT, Carrie and I’m currently in the middle of a great book c

alled The Historian which is a wonderfully clever re-imagining of the Dracula legend, only this time focusing more on the source material of Vlad Tepes. If a vampire themed adventure is your thing, you must try to find a copy!!

I’m still unsure if listening to an audiobook counts as reading it, maybe that’s a discussion for another day.

There’s a wonderful series on Disney + called Pistol. It’s a biographical series of Steve Jones, guitarist with The Sex Pistols. Taken from his biography : Lonely Boy and directed by Danny Boyle its a really well worked series that’s sad and funny in equal measure. Given the turbulent relationship of The Sex Pistols it’s hard to say how much truth is in there, I know John Lydon (Formally Johnny Rotten) has already disputed some of the events in the series, or at least how they’re depicted, but if you’re a fan of the Pistols and don’t mind the semi regular ”C” bomb, it’s worth a watch.

I can’t not say anything about the Netflix series Stranger Things. I know there are still some people who are yet to finish the latest series, but I will say that the sequence with Eddie playing Master of Puppets while all kinds of terrible surround him was one of the best things this series has ever done and that includes Dustin and Suzies Neverending Story duet in series 3. By all accounts series 5 will be the last and I hope they stick to that, too many TV and movie franchises go on for too long, I hope we don’t add Stranger Things to that list.

One of the biggest films of the year so far was The Batman. I meant to write about it sooner, but I have to say I really enjoyed it! Pattinson did a great job as the caped crusader and the stripped back, grass roots feel of it was a refreshing change from what we saw more recently in BvS and Justice League. What I felt was really well done was the sense of this is a Batman who doesn’t care so much about stealth, he just wants to fight and will happily stand toe to toe, rather than striking from the shadows like we see from older versions in other films. The other things the film does well is the details, such as him wearing boxing style hand wraps under his gloves and the black face paint still being around his eyes once the mask has been taken off (this second one has been a running issue since 1988!!!)

I wasn’t totally taken in by the Riddler, and the Se7en inspired feel of him fell a little flat, as a mate said ”If you’re going to go Se7en, really go Se7en!”

The end felt a little disjointed too, seeing a big scale flooding sequence felt almost separate from the rest of the film, though I know they had to get from him being vengeance to hero, it just felt clumsy.

That being said, The Batman and Joker are easily the 2 best things to be released recently from the pages of DC and I hope to see more of them in the future.

I love reading, though I don’t read half as much as I’d like to. I have plenty of books, I just never seem to be in the mood for it as much as I should be.

One thing I thought I’d try was an audio book, in all honesty to see if it annoyed me to the point of wanting to read a book myself, rather than have someone read it to me as if I’m a child!

The one author I’ve always wanted to like and have really tried to like is Stephen King. I just can’t get on with him or his style. This isn’t to say he’s a bad author, it’s just there’s something between his writing and my brain that just don’t seem to fit.

Despite this I recently picked up a copy of The Shining and it’s long awaited sequel Doctor Sleep. I adore both film versions of these stories and have always felt I should have read them. I really want to enjoy them when the time comes to read them and so to see if I can get Kings style, if I can somehow learn how his books flow I downloaded the audible version of his classic I.T.

I have to admit I am enjoying it, given I can’t see any page numbers I have no real idea of where I am in the story, Georgie has met his sad demise and we have just met an adult Stan and his wife so it’s still early, but I’m getting it. I’m starting to see the rhythm in his style. The spiel on the file says it’s 44 hours, so I have a long way to go and I imagine there’s a lot in there that didn’t make it into either film adaptation. But, I’m looking forward to finishing it and to finally starting an actual, old fashioned book once again

My favorite type of film has always been adventures, things like The Goonies, Indiana Jones, Lord Of The Rings, The Mummy are right up my street, but I am very partial to a good old disaster movie too, probably down to watching things like The Towering Inferno, The Poseidon Adventure and the Airport films (70, 75, 77, 79)

So when I sat down to watch MoonFall, the latest big scale disaster movie from disaster master (or master of disaster…….hang on, that’s Apollo Creed!!) Roland Emmerich I did so with a very childish happy feeling.

Emmerich has got form with this sort of thing, Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow make for some serious credentials when it comes to filming the end of the world and MoonFall is no different. Staring Patrick Wilson and Halle Berry, who are admirably supported by John Bradley (Sam from Game Of Thrones), MoonFall is an absolute wild, totally unhinged 2 hours of how and why the moon is out of orbit and getting closer and closer to the Earth, with apocalyptic consequences.

Emmerich has never been afraid to throw absolutely everything at a film and he does so here with the same reckless abandonment that we know and love. I won’t say too much as I know it’s a fairly recent film and not everyone has seen it, but if you want 2 hours of absolute nonsense, with the fate of the world at stake, this is for you!!

Take it easy guys, the podcast will be back soon!!

Hi guys, I hope everyone is doing ok? I thought I’d do a little blog while my voice recovers properly from me having Covid, fingers crossed I can stop going croaky long enough to get a podcast out soon!!

First up is an absolute gem of a film : Last Night In Soho. I missed this when it was released at the cinema in September ’21, but I did pre-order a hard copy (which I managed to forget about when it came!) and a couple of weeks ago I finally sat down to watch a film that has gotten itself a very healthy reputation.

Directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) and staring Thomasin McKenzie, Anya Taylor-Joy, Matt Smith, Terence Stamp and the legendary Diana Rigg, this is a film that covers several genres and yet doesn’t fully fit in any of them. Thriller, horror, mystery, time travel, it hits them all.

The film starts with us meeting fashion student Ellie (McKenzie). Here is the first twist the film throws at us as for all appearances, this is the 60’s. The music, the decor in her room all screams authentic. Ellie is packing to leave Cornwall for university in London, its only when she leaves the house do we see that it is in fact present day.

Once in London and at uni Ellie is immediately set as an outcast by her class and housemates. Her Cornish accent is used really well by the director here as a way of further isolating her.

Ellie moves out of the student halls and finds a private bedsit, owned by the very charismatic Ms. Collins (Rigg) and this is where things start to get odd/weird/interesting. On the first night Ellie dreams of a young woman, Sandie (Taylor-Joy) in London in the 60’s. The film really does capture the romantic view of that time, you can almost smell the cigarette smoke, hear the music and feel the glare from the lights. In the dream we see Sandie go to the legendary Cafe de Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a singer, It’s here we see Sandie meet Jack (Smith), a man who promises to make her a star.

The next day Ellie starts her project in class, a dress inspired by what she’d seen Sandie wearing. It’s also the first time we see Ellie looking happy at uni, like she’s been lifted by having had a insight into the decade she loves so much. She even passes up on going out with classmates in order to get an early night and to see more of Sandies story.

The dreams get darker in tone and subject and we get to see the seedy underside of the bright lights as we see Sandie get deeper and deeper in despair. This in turn has an effect on Ellie as we see her become more and more distressed and isolated once more, her situation not helped at all by her seeing ghosts almost everywhere she turns.

The one thing I will say is the ending, the pay off, the reveal is totally worth it and not at all what I was expecting!! I cant say much about it because its something I think has to be seen without any prior knowledge to get the full effect. But I will say that this film is one of the best things I’ve seen for quite some time.

Absolutely 10/10

Next up is Resident Evil : Welcome to Racoon city. And that’s where the problems start. Movies taken from computer games are notoriously hard to get right. You could argue that the Milla Jovocich films did the best thing in that they kind of never tried to be 100% true to the games, instead favouring a loose adaption approach and because of that they kind of worked. Or at least worked as best as they could.

This film however tries another way. It’s almost as if it tries to change timelines of the games, while trying to stay true to them. Characters are introduced before they appeared in the games timeline, as if the makers have tried to merge at least two of the games into this origin story. This will always be the hardest decision with computer game movies. Either stick to the source material or don’t. I just can’t think of one of these films that has tried to have a foot in both camps and worked.

The plot, such as it is, focuses on the start of the outbreak, but unlike what we saw in the 2002 movie, this one is set more in Racoon city, with Stanley Manor only featuring in the 3rd act. What follows is around two hours of some of the worst dialogue, worst acting, worst story telling that you’re ever likely to see, with only Kaya Scodelario (playing Claire Redfield) just about making it to the end with any sort of credit left.

But

It is a lot of fun. Yes it’s stupid at times, yes it’s clunky, but as long as you’re not expecting anything more you’ll have a blast. It almost has that 80’s action movie feel of ”lets throw absolutely everything at the wall and see what sticks” and that is refreshing at this time in cinema where everything feels polished, reviewed and polished again.

It’s hard to say if I would want a sequel to this one, but if it were to happen I’m sure I would watch it. It’s a shame its not really related to the other films in this franchise, maybe this one could have told the story of what was happening in the city while we were watching what happened in the Hive but that’s not how the makers of this movie wanted it to be and that has to be respected.

Fun. And bad. But fun. 5.5/10

In 1985 we got Rocky IV and if we’re honest it’s the most far fetched, fantastical entry into the Rocky franchise. But that didn’t stop it becoming a favourite of many. largely down to it being a quintessential 80’s action film, as opposed to the gritty dramas that started the series.

I guess it was the success of Creed II and the return of Drago into the franchise that gave Stallone the idea of looking at Rocky IV again, to see if he could turn it from the glorified music video that we got into something a little more meaningful.

So. Did it work?

Sort of. The first thing we notice in this directors cut is the start, instead of picking up with just the end of III, we get a 10 minute recap of III instead, all purposely done I think to reinforce the friendship between Rocky and Apollo. We then jump to the familiar scenes with Apollo watching the news coverage of Drago being announced on the world stage and him going to see Rocky to explain his plan to fight Drago.

This is where the film bizarrely adds an unexpected philosophical layer to itself.

It’s been said that athletes die twice, once when they retire and again when their days are done and this is what we see Apollo struggling with and I have to admit I did like seeing it, especially as we see Rocky feel glimpses of the same thing.

Adrian (as always) is the voice of reason in this meeting, and in a new scene we see her explain to Rocky that Apollo just wants to be loved as he once was. She also lays it out to both Rocky and Apollo that they’re both getting too old, which has always felt a little odd, like shouldn’t Apollos wife be saying that to him?

The fight between Apollo and Drago is more brutal that before, Drago seemingly holding back much longer before starting to throw punches, with each one being absolutely devastating. It’s a sequence made all the more tragic by Apollo begging Rocky not to stop the fight between the first and second rounds. It’s almost as if Apollo has decided that this is how he wants to go, under the lights, fighting one last time.

In this version we get an extended scene of Rocky pleading his case to the American boxing authorities, this was mainly covered by newspaper headlines in the original version and this is a much better way of telling that particular story, it makes it more relatable somehow, more tangible.

The film becomes very familiar here, with one training montage following another. The next noticeable difference coming at the end of the second round of the fight with Drago getting cut. Yes its in the original version, but here we see Drago asking his corner men if his eye is OK, as if his perception of his own invincibility has been shaken.

The fight ends in the familiar way, with Rocky ending the cold war with his after fight speech. One nice touch is we see Rocky go over to Drago in the opposite corner, we don’t hear any dialogue but it seems that any grievances are put to rest, which is a nice touch.

So was it all worth it? As an experiment I guess it works, and credit has to go to Stallone for being able to add substance and weight to arguably the most story light film of the franchise.

I don’t know if I prefer it over the original, and I’m not sure it can be considered cannon to the rest of the films, mainly down to the moment in the ring between Rocky and Drago after the fight. As I said, that looked like them putting any problems to bed, yet as we saw in Creed II that there were still ill feelings between the two, so maybe the original version of Rocky IV is the ”real” one.

I’d definitely recommend it, especially if like me, you have grown up with these films. It’s nice to see more angles of some of the conversations we saw in the original. And yes, it’s nice to not have to put up with that damn robot!

7.5/10

Hey guys, I hope this post finds you all well, fingers crossed the world settles down soon!!

It’s been a varied week for me film wise, First up was the latest offering from M. Night Shyamalan, Old. In 1999 Shyamalan shook the world with The Sixth Sense and has seemingly been trying to recreate it ever since, for me he got closest in 2004 with the Village.

Old follows a group of holiday makers who find themselves trapped on a secluded beach, unable to return through the passageway that they arrived through. They also find that they age at an accelerated rate. What follows is a nicely paced mystery as our group try work out what is happening, why they are there and, most importantly, how to escape.

The one problem I had with this film is the same problem I have with most films from Shyamalan. The ending, or the reveal (or explanation?). This one left me with the same flat, deflated feeling. Probably made worse by the fact I had genuinely enjoyed the film up to then and the explanation, though full and not what I expected was just a little dull for me.

I’m not sure where I’d rate Old in the list of M. Night Shyamalans films, I guess they’re all good, bad and indifferent in their own ways and its hard to say if this is one I’d recommend to anyone that hadn’t seen one of his movies. But, if you want a mystery movie that is 2/3’s solid and don’t mind that there’s a risk you wont like the ending, then this is worth looking at. 7.5/10

Its easy to forget that Marvel films weren’t always the amazing, polished, visual treats that they are today, but trust me, at one time (not that long ago!!) it wasn’t always the case.

Back in the 80’s, long before Marvel studios came along, comic book movies were still in the experimental stage. We’d had a couple of Superman films, Howard The Duck came along in 1986 and that was pretty much it for the big screen, comic book properties seemed to be destined to be on TV.

In 1989 (for Germany, 1991 for everywhere else) we got the first ”serious” comic book movie from the pages of Marvel comics, their own dark angel : The Punisher.

Staring Dolph Lundren we got a sort of stripped back Punisher, notably he didn’t have the trademark skull on his chest (no idea why, probably some copyright issues between Marvel and the studio that made it : Carolco Pictures). There were also some changes to his back story. But what we got was a glorious 80’s action flick which is never shy to give us a(nother) over the top action sequence.

The plot, such as it is, involves Frank at war with both the Mob and the Yakuza who are at war with each other, with the Yakuza making a claim on New York due to the Mob being weakened by Frank. Dragged along in all this is Det. Jake Berkowitz, Franks former partner, played by the ever brilliant Louis Gossett Jr.

My main issue with the film is that Lundren and Gossett Jr only get around 5 or 6 minutes screen time together, which is a real shame as Gossett Jr really sells the broken relationship between the two amazingly well. Watching it recently I must admit seeing him struggle with knowing what his former partner and friend has become was a quality I just wasn’t expecting.

Unfortunately this film was crippled with problems behind the camera and it never got the release it deserved, almost being resigned to being a ”straight to video” film before it had even left the editing suite. But that hasn’t stopped it being one of my favourite versions of this character, Lundren especially fits the role much better than we saw Thomas Jane and Ray Stevenson manage (though Jon Bernthal is the best I’ve seen, he hasn’t made it to the big screen yet)

If you want a cheesy, typically 80’s, but gritty action film with some genuine dark undertones then you don’t have to look much further than this forgotten gem. 8.5/10

lastly, the undoubted highlight of my week was recording the podcast. I had the great pleasure of interviewing Cal Dodd. Cal was the voice of Wolverine in the 90’s animated series of the X-Men, a series I believe that without we wouldn’t have the MCU, or at the very least, the X-Men movie franchise.

I must admit I was more nervous than I’ve ever been in recording an episode, but Cal was an absolute joy to talk to. I have always thought that the best episodes are the ones that just feel like a chat between mates and that was just what I got from Cal. I found him to be incredibly open, honest and warm. My favourite bit of the episode is when the interview part is over and we became just two guys chatting about the weather. It was one of those moments that I didn’t ”get” at the time but when I was thinking about it afterwards it was the part that made me happiest. If you remember the series and are looking forward to it coming back next year then I’d love it if you could give the episode a listen

That’s all from me this time guys, catch you soon!

Hello hello hello! It’s been a while since my last post and this one isn’t really about one thing or another, just a little update about what I’ve been up to

Embarrassingly I’ve just worked out some of the features on this site, so future posts will hopefully look different, with pictures and everything!

The podcast has been going ok, its nice being more active with it and while there’s been a couple of gaps in between episodes but it’s going well with plenty of ideas yet to come, including an interview with an actual famous person!! If I can ever get a time nailed down!

Away from the podcast and films, I’ve been working on my book collection, I love the author Karin Slaughter and now I’m only 3-4 books away from having all of hers. I could have downloaded them to my Kindle in one hit, but there’s something about holding an actual book that tablets will never replace. There’s a few more books on my wish list that I’ll get as soon as I can, but all this has lead to to start thinking………Could I write a book?

I have caught myself putting little ideas down on paper, I have a main character, a location and various other bits, but do I have a story that people would want to read? Absolutely no idea. I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to trying to write it, but I like to think that I will one day. In fact somewhere buried in my emails is a few scraps of ideas of a Star Trek story that myself and a friend started ages ago, maybe its time to take another look at that as well

Film and TV wise its been a mixed bag so far this year. Cinema wise I haven’t seen much, I’m annoyed I missed Moonfall as I do quite like big scale disaster films (i.e Independence Day) but I have pre-ordered it so I’ll see it soon enough. Scream 5 was a huge disappointment, sadly they didn’t learn anything from 4 and I think this is where I say goodbye to the franchise. I have the original trilogy and that is more than good enough for me. I hope I will get to see Unchartered, despite my feelings on Tom Holland being (mis) cast as Nate Drake it’s an adventure film and as I said in a recent episode, I love those!!

I will be making a much bigger effort to see the upcoming Batman and Morbius movies, despite being a lifelong Batman fan I find myself more excited for Morbius. Maybe that’s a Pattinson issue, or just a little feeling of being over saturated with Batman lately, I dont know. There’s a few other things coming soon that I’m looking forward to, Jurassic World Dominion, Doctor Strange and The Lost City (Yes, I’m looking forward to a film that has Channing Tatum in it)

I did catch the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre film on Netflix, in all honesty it is terrible.

Seriously terrible.

But if you’re looking for a giggle with some cheap scares and something you can watch with no thinking involved, then it fits the bill perfectly, even more so if you’re a fan of that franchise. It did lead me to digging out the TCM 2003 remake and its prequel from 2006, both are far better than the Netflix movie and very good in their own rights too.

That’s enough of my ramblings for now, take care guys!!!

So. We made it to the end of this mess. A year that for many of us won’t be forgotten quickly enough.

I guess what I feel most of all about the show is disappointment. I love doing the podcast and this blog, but for one reason or another I just couldn’t get into a routine with either. There was a close family member who had a serious illness and it was only right that the show took a back seat. Thankfully they made a full recovery, but I’m not sure I did. And the show certainly didn’t.

I guess the reason I’m most disappointed is we had some amazing films this year and some equally amazing shows. All of which deserved to be talked about on the show or written about on here.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m proud of the shows that we did, I just wanted to do more. 8 shows in 52 weeks works out at 1 show every 6.5 weeks. Consistency is key in any area or field and it’s been severely lacking this year.

Normally I’d take a month or 2 off from the show at the beginning of the year, but movie world hits the ground running next year and so should I, so fingers crossed January will bring a revamped and re-energized Dead Mans Chest.

A huge shout out and thank you has to go to my partner in crime Dan, without who we wouldn’t have the show’s recorded this year at all. Also to my cousin Paul and the Toy CollectErs gang, working on their custom Ghostbusters project was a huge headache, but a lot of fun as well!!!

Thank you all for sticking with me, have an amazing New Year, stay safe and I’ll speak to you very soon!!!

It dawned on me the other day that I’ve pretty much had a life long relationship with Ghostbusters.

It would have started in the mid/late 80’s when I would have first watched the animated series : The Real Ghostbusters. Not long after that I would have first watched 1984’s classic Ghostbusters. 1989 bought us Ghostbusters 2, a film that I genuinely have never understood the negativity that it sometimes attracts.

It’s odd that just two films from over 30 years ago and a animated series that I long ago out grew would have had such an effect on me and many others but that’s what happened. The “No Ghosts” symbol became embedded in popular culture and pretty much stayed, often seen being worn by people who were far too young to remember the films being released.

Calls for a third film were always there, and if the stories are to be believed, a loose script existed. But sadly it never came to pass at that time. Bill Murray was notoriously against returning to the franchise, Dan Akroyd could never get a version of the story that he was happy with and the late, great Harold Ramos had long fallen out with Murray.

A computer game released in the early 2000’s was for a long time regarded as the only third installment that we would get.

All that changed in 2015. A new Ghostbusters film was finally confirmed, this time with an all new cast. The social media platforms exploded when it was announced that the film would be female lead and the hatred that Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon got was unacceptable and totally uncalled for. I’ve always held the belief that the cast of any film are the last to blame for a film’s failure.

Despite what I’m sure were the casts and crews best efforts, the 2016 Ghostbusters film flopped. Not because of it being female lead, not because of studio interference or poor direction, but because it was the one thing we did not want.

A remake.

As the uproar of Ghostbusters 2016 died down, I and a lot of other people seemed to resign ourselves to the belief that that was it. That 2016 was our last hope for Ghostbusters returning. If I’m honest I was ok with that, I still had two great movies to enjoy and the one saving grace of GB2016 was that it wasn’t attached to the two originals, leaving their legacy untouched and untarnished.

It must have been 2019 sometime when a short trailer dropped on YouTube. Released by Jason Reitman (son of original director Ivan) with the tag line “I found the car” the trailer showed a old and beaten up Ecto 1 covered up in a barn. I can’t tell you how happy I was. It was like Christmas!

My excitement only grew when it was revealed that a new Ghostbusters film was being made, it was a genuine sequel and that it was being directed by a Reitman.

Ghostbusters was back in the family!!

We had some Covid related set backs, mainly that the film was delayed at least three times, but in November 2021 Ghostbusters : Afterlife was released in cinemas.

By now we’ve all seen it so I won’t go into the story, but I will say that I think it was as good as it ever could be. Jason Reitman was clever enough to put enough in there for us old enough to remember Ghostbusters first time around and to include enough to capture a new, younger audience.

Cynics will say there was maybe a bit too much fan service and on some counts I agree, but that didn’t spoil anything for me. Appointing a young cast was smart by Reitman, especially on the back of things like Stranger Things and IT. McKenna Grace especially shone as Phoebe Spengler.

A sequel is strongly hinted at the end of the film and if rumors are to be believed it’s already been given the green light. A follow up will be the real test for the franchise. They won’t be able to get away with so much nostalgia and fan service a second time around, but I have hope that Reitman and his young cast will be ok. I have a feeling we could finally see some aspects of Akroyds now legendary third script.

I for one can’t wait to see where this crazy relationship takes me next, I just hope it’s not another 30+ years before I find out!!!

Those of us of a certain age will have grown up with some classic adventure films, things like The Goonies, Indiana Jones, Romancing the Stone and Jumanji. The genre kind of went away for a bit but it’s been a slow but successful return for a while now with things like The Mummy franchise with Brendan Fraser, The Antonio Banderes Zorro films, various Tomb Raider films, Lord Of The Rings, Pirates of The Caribbean, the Journey films and the Jumanji sequels.

They’re films that always stir that childish sense of adventure in all of us, while often retaining a feeling of innocence and light heartedness, things that you feel films often try to sacrifice in order to get a darker, more grown up reputation.

Jungle Cruise is right up there with those films we watched as children. Starring the seemingly ever present Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the always brilliant Emily Blunt and Jack Whitehall. The film follows botanist Dr Lily Houghton (Blunt) and her long suffering brother McGregor (Whitehall) on their journey in the Amazon to find an ancient and mystical flower, fantastically named : Tears of the moon. They are helped on their journey by river cruise captain and career chancer Frank Wolff (Johnson).

What follows is 2+ hours of joyous nonsense and childish excitement, it’s all here in this, cursed Conquistadors? Yes! Wild rapids? Yes!! Cannibal tribe? Yes!! Nazis? Yes!!! A lost city? Yes!

In fact, almost all the films mentioned above have an influence here, but it doesn’t matter at all, as director Jaume Collet-Serra and his cast have created something new and fresh. As if they’ve managed to take all the best bits of those films and package them together for us. Talking of fresh, this film looks amazing. Set in the Amazon, the colours and scenery really do look incredible and you have to hand it to the visuals team.

A special mention has to go to Emily Blunt for another great performance, she’s ticking off genres at lightning speed and always seems to shine. A mention has to go to Dwayne Johnson as well. He’s not necessarily an actor, buts he’s definitely a movie star and always brings sense of “Blockbuster” to any of the films he is in. I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of Jack Whitehall, but here he works well as the token character who’s caught in an adventure he doesn’t want to be in. Think John Hannah from The Mummy and you’re pretty much there.

This film is never going to win any awards and only time will tell if it will take a place alongside the classics in this genre, but if a films main mission is to entertain and take us out of our reality for a couple of hours then this film is very definitely a winner.

A perfect 10/10 Sunday afternoon adventure for all the family!
