Doctor Who: Space Babies (2024)
Genuinely don't understand how anybody likes this
This was not only the worst Dr Who episode I've seen (and there have been some stinkers) but it's one of the worst TV shows. I've read and seen some good reviews but have these people seen Dr Who previously. Nobody who has seen The Talons of Weng-Chiang or Horror of Fang Rock can possibly think that this compares. Instead we get cringe making talking babies and monsters made of bogies. I can only assume that the writers have decided that traditional fans are not wanted anymore and are instead catering for the under 10 Disney market. If I'd not been a Dr Who fan for 50 years there is no way I'd have got to the end of this drivel. I definitely fear that the next 2 series will be the last.
Rebel Moon - Chapter One: Chalice of Blood (2023)
Don't listen to they reviews - make your own mind up
I'd heard and read some of the reviews and I was expecting much worse but for me it was actually a pretty entertaining movie so my suggestion would be to watch it and make your own mind up. Sure it's derivative but it was actually pitched as a Star Wars movie (and rejected) so it's not that surprising it has elements of Star Wars in it even down to use of Light Sabres and a princess who can do some sort of magic. That being said I enjoyed it far more than the last 2 Star Wars movies and I'm looking forward to seeing the next part. As I say give it a chance and see what you think, you may be surprised.
The Bunker (1981)
Interesting
This was pretty good and I enjoyed Anthony Hopkin's performance as Hitler even with the tinges of a Welsh accent breaking through. One thing I would say is that the portrayal of Speer was very sympathetic and based on Speer's own testimony which clearly may not be as accurate as some later revelations have shown. Good though - worth watching.
