Not a new one but American Movie was recommended by Richard Ayoade on Adam Buxton's podcast, then popped up as leaving Prime in a few days so thought I'd give it a go. 

Really really good. 

Give it a watch before it leaves Prime.

I'm very much in the minority but I liked it. Didn't really think much of the first one.

Just needed more Lady Gaga.

 

It's always worth checking it out for yourself. I think I might be the only person to enjoy that Ghostbusters film with the female cast.

Absolutely.

Although the best I could say about that one is that I didn't hate it. Mostly because of Kate McKinnon. She was ace.

Enjoyed Gladiator 2 a lot. Denzel was having so much fun!

Spellbound, the new Netflix animation is very average. The kids seemed to enjoy it though, which is the main thing (apparently).

Gladiator 2 was... something.

 

There were multiple moments where I burst out laughing. It came across to me like I was watching the summary of about 20 different YouTube history videos at the same time.

Were you not entertained? (Sorry, couldn’t resist).

 

It was a ridiculous spectacle and Denzel was having so much fun.

Well I wasn't bored and agreed Denzel looked like he truly understood the assignment in chewing the scenery. So there's that.

It's a good job there was so much scenery cos he chewed up most of it. 

Not a criticism by the way. Exactly what the role called for

Also, Denzel is 70!

Well, that was as intense as I expected. And I say this as someone who, as a teenager, had nightmares after watching the sequel.

 

Also I'm presuming that setting it on Lindisfarne explains why I saw an interview a few months back that Jodie Comer was putting on a Geordie accent for her role in this.
