It is a stunning film. One of my all time faves. Mini is right into it.
Bloody fantastic. From start to finish. And that car chase, WOW!
In two words, fucking brilliant.

Got my Grandaughters staying with us the week after next, I guess it'll either be that or Finding Dory.

I'd highly recommend it for kids Trev, at least it's not just another rinse/repeat Disney animation (which is what kept me awake through it!) and they'll love it.

I'm reading The BFG to my kids at the moment - we'll be going to see it when we've finished it. I think I'm more excited about it than they are - I've not read it since I was a kid and it really is a fantastic book. I love it.

The BFG and The Witches were my favourites. And I'll read George's Marvellous Medicine to them as well as it features an evil old grandmother who could well be my ex mother-in-law. Do you remember Rik Mayall reading that on Jackanory? TV gold.

Independence Day: Resurgence
Fuck me, this is unintentionally hilarious. There are more holes in the 'plot' than the Wolves back line, I've seen sturdier performances in my kids' school plays,it made pretty much no sense whatsoever, and planet earth - despite being pretty much destroyed by the aliens in the first film has somehow managed to rally and now has technology that wouldn't look out of place in a Star Trek movie.
A total clusterfuck of random weirdness stuck together and served on a plate of grossly OTT special effects and toe curlingly embarrassing one liners by a cast who try so hard to appear likeable, yet end up turning out performances that wouldn't look out of place in a Sharknado movie.
But bloody hell it's funny - and although the effects just end up looking ridiculous, they're rather impressive nonetheless. I think the whole ethos of the film is 'remember the last Independence Day film? Well make EVERYTHING bigger. And bring back ALL the cast wherever possible (although we can't afford Will Smith - we've put his wages into a needless explosion during the finale) and shoehorn them in when there's a gap in the special effects.'
It's not exactly a spoiler to reveal Bill Pullman returns in this film - and it's a triumph for sufferers of PTSD everywhere that he not only manages to combat his illness but bounce back, be a perfect father, remember how to fly a fighter plane (massively upgraded since ID1 - and going by Bill's backstory, he would have never been able to fly again due to his illness, but that doesn't matter - he was President of the US of A - he can do ANYTHING - and indeed, he does), save the world (well, nearly) and also has time for a shave which shows how remarkably well Mr Pullman has aged over the years ALL in the space of a few hours. Oh and Jeff Goldblum manages to travel to Africa, the Moon and Nevada in the space of about 30 minutes. Oh and the African general wasn't at all a terribly 2 dimensional hugely exaggerated stereotype. No way. They also let him on a spaceship and within striking distance of the President with two fuck off huge swords on his back (as all tribal leaders have of course).
I recommend this to anyone who likes to waste 2 hours - just leave your brain at the door and enjoy the sheer ridiculousness of it all. Bloody good fun, fantastic to look at but absolutely, totally, 100% batshit ridiculous.

The fundamentals of caring - a made for Netflix film with Paul Rudd. I loved it, I'm a sucker for a coming of age type movie with a nice soundtrack.
