The pacing in 'Saw 3' (2006) is as slow as Jeff himself. MOVE MAN, MOVE. More mad traps, more crazy editing, more delicious soap opera drama, more baffling time jumps, more superb scene transitions. Amanda is craaaaaaazy. Ain't nobody gonna match her freak.

Lots of thoughts on 'Resident Evil' (2026). A Resident Evil side story as it were. Could be a non-Resident Evil film if a few little nods were taken away. Lovely gore and effects. Big fan of the tumbleweed monster. Didn't realise one person could say the F word in so many ways. Bless, Bryan.

I think I may prefer 'Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed' (2004) to the first, I loved all the ghosts and ghoulies. How delightful. The cast are once again superb and the humour had me chuckling away. I WANT MORE.

'Scooby Doo' (2002) was MAGNIFICENT. The opening is brilliant and then the rest of the film is brilliant too. Ending up fighting actual spirits but never mentioning again. Lol. Cast are great and it just simply looks real, many modern films don't. Made me smile and fuzzy. Shaggy is the MVP.

Enjoyed 'Friday the 13th' (2009). This Jason means BUSINESS. Not as campy or B-movie as most of the originals, but it's genuinely one of my favourite Friday films. Grimy and horrid. Some spectacular kills. That said, had Jason ended up in space again I also certainly wouldn't have complained.

I can be a silly billy boy sometimes and the silly billy sense of humour in 'Fackham Hall'(2025) worked for me. Was not expecting so much JRR Tolkien. One of my heroes. As others have said, The Naked Gun and Downton Abbey mashed up. I dug it.

Had a good giggle with 'Ricky Stanicky' (2024) An easy watch and that's all I needed. Really am a Cena fan.

'Gotham Central: In the Line of Duty' (2003) was brilliant. I really enjoyed seeing the GCPD operate without Batman. Though he did pop up, but it didn't feel out of place. Actually helped the Cop-only aspects. Was invested in the characters, especially Renee, and would read more once I find them.

'Doctor Who: Fear Death by Water' (2025) was magnificent. I didn't know about the real-life history of Grace Darling but I will look her up further. 15 and co were well-written, as was the book. I love the ocean, primal forces, etc. Brilliant. Possibly my favourite 15 novel so far.

Hot DAMN 'Fear Steet: 1978' (2021) doesn't shy away from letting kids meet a grizzly end. A decent callback to slashers of old. Got more delightful teases of witch-possessed murderers. Good world-building. Sadie Sink shines once again as the best of the young Stranger Things cast.

Sadie Sink truly is the best young star to come out of Stranger Things. Sadly, Sadie Sink is not in 'Enola Holmes 3' (2026). I'd absolutely watch a film with Henry Cavill as Sherlock though.

Watching 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' (2001) on the big screen for the 25th anniversary was bittersweet realising how many of the actors are no longer with us. Casting is (as always said) brilliant and it's a decent film adaptation. Still holds up today (at the time of writing this).

'Coyote vs ACME' (2026) was a silly billy film. I feel like Looney Tunes are well known, but also I've never felt they are as big as they could have been. The cel-shading with the real-world stuff worked for me and wasn't distracting. Could have let Cena use his comedic chops a bit more though.

' X-Men '97' (S2) (2026) was fantastic. Remember I have always found some sort of block with X-Men stories, despite really liking some of the characters and the themes. Happy to report this is well worth a watch. The animation is gorgeous. Very much looking forward to S3.

It's taken roughly six months of casually dipping in and out, but me and my younger brother have finally reached a minimum of round 50 on every 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 3' (2015) zombies map, as of last night. Some good memories made. Some grey hairs grown.

It'S Done. It'S Over Now.

'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire'(2013)is a brilliant sequel that you initially think may just be a re-tread of the first, but it's far from it. Really sows rhe seeds for the rebellion to come and explores PTSD pretty well. VIVA LA REVOLUTION.

'Bad Boys 2' (2003) is silly and dumb, Michael Bay-smeared, action fun. I really dug it. A great sequel and the duo are great together.

'Tesla VS Lovecraft' (2018/2020) let me blast my way through HORDES of eldritch monstrosities and as someone who loves twin-stick shooters and bright colours, you best believe it was my jam. Funnily enough the PS5 version with all extra DLC is actually tougher. But all still fell.

Enjoyed 'Batman: The Dark Knight Returns' (1986). Funny that an "old" Batman is considered 55. Liked him returning to the fray to show naughty mutants, past villains, and boy scouts who's boss. Characters in 86 saying the opposite of what they would nowadays (looking at you, sexist Jim).

'Doctor Who: Twelve Angels Weeping' (2018) was yet another fantastic anthology book set in the Whoniverse. My favourite stories were probably the Cyberman one and the one with the Ood and the heist. Oh and the Weeping Angels one, that felt like a real threat again.

Mixed feelings on 'The Last of Us' (S2) (2025). Still a high production quality (though some dialogue was, well, shite), and it's always been a Joel and Ellie story to me, so those scenes I liked. Didn't care for anything else all that much. Basically how I felt about the second game.

Hot damn there was a level of creepiness underpinning the entirety of 'Visions' (2015) that got right under my skin. A story you have seen variations of before, but here with a Marvel lick of paint. I think this is technically a different universe? Either ways some parts were dark.

'Hobbs and Shaw' (2019) was brilliant. Big, dumb action fun and I had a blast. The cast really works for me and there's some brilliant comedic moments of dry humour. The action is pretty great and some of the stunts are fantastic. Family.

Rewatched 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' (1984). The idea of a dream demon is fascinating, and Freddy Krueger is a horror icon, but the film just doesn't quite work for me. That said, some of the kills were brilliant. Getting eaten by a bed? Magical. Big fan of the OBVIOUS dummy at the end too.

Got around to checking out 'Send Help'(2026) too. Just absolutely did not work for me. Thought it was ridiculous and Linda was just a caricature. For a way better version of this type of story and characters, please watch 'Misery' (1990)

'Ice Cream Man' (2026) is not in my good books. Looked and sounded like a machine had been fed an idea at gunpoint. Weird sexual and incestuous undertones and a super inappropriate "joke" about eating disorders. Decent gore at times, and the end did actually trick me a little.

'Ice Cream Man' (1995) was quite the experience. I hold ice cream in as high esteem as a priest does the Lord, so I was always going to see it through to the end. Some parts were actually incredibly funny because of how laughably stupid things were. What I expected and I had a good time.

I learnt some things with 'Big Chicken: A Fast Food Conspiracy' (2026). For a documentary that's important, but it's also something you've seen 1000 times before and that's just really sad because humans quite simply (not all, but those in power) don't seem to be learning or care.

'Spider-Man: The Darkest Hours' (2021) was Spectacular, amazing, superior. 3 fantastic novelisations and really got into the characters. Spider-Man is my favourite and these stories were a reminder of that, just him doing Spidey things.

Had, quite literally, a blast replaying 'Peggle 2' (2014). Everytime I think I'm done with the game, a few years roll around and I get pulled back in. Jimmy has the most annoying level music, but damn are his mutilballs handy at pinging all those pegs.
