Star Trek Beyond- 7/10
Certainly decent outing in the ST series but not quite as good as the first 2. Even though the movie logs in at about 2 hours even i kind of felt that the pacing was off and rushed. I certainly liked the character of Jaylah and wished they had explored her more than they did. Had a nice little tribute tie in with Nimoy's passing (using it as Ambassador Spocks passing). I have no idea if they plan on doing anymore of this series and how they plan to deal with the death of the actor who played Chekov but im kind of hoping for a stronger output next time.
Suicide squad
9/10
Loved Deadshot and Harley Quinn
Thought the joker nailed it
Only really disliked the Rick Flagg character and portrayal for most of the film
Dc movies rock.
That and the contamination of the crime scene itself. Add in the fact the one suspect they had who they could place at the crime scene and admitted to having been there that night got totally dismissed for whatever god knows reason. His prints were all over the victim's room.
Supersonic - 9/10
I love Rock and Roll documentaries and this is one of the best one's I've seen in quite a while. The movie looks back at Oasis from about 1994 - 1997 just before they basically imploded on themselves. Oasis never really gained traction in America after 1996, but they have always been one of my favorite bands for some reason. The infighting between Noel and Liam Gallagher was legendary, and hearing them interviewed during this movie is hilarious. As one person in the movie puts it, Noel has lots of buttons and Liam has lots of fingers.
This is the same crew that did the equally fantastic documentary Amy about Amy Winehouse.
The only song i really liked was "Champagne Supernova" or whatever it was called. But i was interested in all their bickering so i will probably check this out.
My best friend was instantly smitten with Oasis and this became a mad affair for him, but me, I almost was smitten. I wanted to be smitten.
Just finished watching Spirited Away with my son. Best movie I've seen in a while.

On Liam: “He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup.”
1. On audience participation: “I cringe when I see these bands doing all that ‘Everybody over here get your hands up!’ shit. **** off. I’m not arsed where I am or even why you lot [the audience] are here. I’ve made a record, you’ve come to see me play it live. The end. Now buy a T-shirt on the way out and **** off.”
2. On interviews: “I have an opinion on everything, and if I don’t have an opinion, I’ll ******* make one up on the spot.”
3. On writing an autobiography: “Yes, I’ll do one. No, I won’t do a Wayne Rooney and write six.”
4. On his biggest hero: “My mum, because she brought Liam Gallagher up. I mean, **** me.”
5. On litter: “I don’t like litter. I like that Singapore thing. You know – you get caught dropping litter you get your head chopped off.”
6. On music reviews: “I reckon if Thom Yorke ******* shit into a light bulb and started blowing it like an empty beer bottle it’d probably get 9 out of 10 in ******* Mojo.”
7. On artist-against-artist beef: “You can say that you respect someone as an artist a thousand times and it will never get reported. But you call someone a **** once…”
8. On people who work too hard: “I don’t like workaholics. Don’t ******* trust them. Why are they working? I don’t trust busy *****. That’s how wars start: busy ******s.”
9. On Keane: “Traditionally speaking, the three biggest twats in any band are the singer, the keyboardist, and the drummer. I don’t need to say anything else.”
10. On his mum: “Hard work and a ******* filthy tongue, that’s what I inherited from my mum. She taught the nineties how to swear.”
11. On his dad: “My old man invented road rage. When the new Ford Sierra came out it was a big thing. I remember him calling a guy in the street out of the window, ‘You ******* Sierra-faced *******!’ That’s poetry, man.”
I love the Gallagher brothers.
