Cocktail (1988)
8/10
Just what I needed
24 October 2020
Gotta loved the internet....

Fancied some 80's nostalgia and this didn't disappoint, what a belter of a film. You notice so much more as an older man, from Coughlins alcohol infused advice, to just simply how much of a dude Tom Cruise was...... this recharged my Elizabeth Shue shaped batteries and made me wanna go receive a screw driver from a man down a backstreet in Manhattan..... great fun was had watching this.... I even threw my sprite bottle in the air a couple of times! 8.5/10 Classic!

The Lighthouse (I) (2019)
5/10
What's the point?
25 March 2020
I enjoy the acting and did feel like I was part of the story I just don't really see what the point of the whole film was. The light housekeepers are isolated and this obviously doesn't help there already fragile untethered psyche but neither does drinking home-made moonshine and babbling to each other incoherently. I wouldn't mind but it was only over a four week period, Personally I'd give anything to be isolated for four weeks with only my wartime woes and a beach to keep me company.

Enjoyed the actors, but the whole film/story didn't seem necessary enough to warrant telling......

The Mandalorian (2019– )
10/10
It's Star Wars Tapas and it's great!
5 January 2020
Well, the trilogy of the trilogies is now over and the Saga is complete, but there is still a universe full of space wizards and alien Bounty Hunters with their own stories to tell and boy did they tell it well here.

This was an epic undertaking, keeping in with cannon and d'othing the cap to the Star Wars Universes fanities, this western, samurai, space knight with a code of conduct that is alien but somewhat completely understandable (I mean who doesn't truly wear a mask all day anyway!) was the tonic that I never knew I needed. I was excited (and equally nervous) for this because they could've got it so wrong, but they didn't, they created something independent and pure and without a Skywalker in sight. I really enjoyed the whole 1st series, but the final episode was a special effects all you can eat buffet of just pure brilliance, i just watched the last 2 episodes and I feel like I've been the movies to see a film that I didn't know that I really wanted to see.

Great job and totally enjoyable from the start, this has made a Star Wars fan out of me all over again and has even given me and my son a good and wholesome show that's exciting, funny and without unnecessary gore to watch and enjoy together. I was open to any ideas to help to unglue his head from his Nintendo Switch congratulating his friends on snipering head shots into poor unsuspecting people, so I'm glad it's Star Wars that did it.

The Director and creature Jon Favreu has created something phenomenal and just shows that he must truly love the original source material to create something so pleasing to watch, I'm excited to see where they take the show and just so very glad to be taken along for the ride.

Excited for season 2....

I gave this a 10/10 because it was just brilliant and far beyond anything else I've seen recently.
