Super Mario Bros Movie
What a terrible movie! Devoid of anything even remotely redeeming. The only real surprise of this was that anyone actually admitted to writing this garbage. I have no idea about the video game but as a movie it's awful. The sad thing is, after the success this has had at the BO, expect more to skew this way. Illumination Studios are fast becoming my personl nemisis... First the Minions, now this. Uggh. Avoid.
The Unexpected Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
An elderly man goes on a 500 mile walk to visit a long lost friend, with the aim of inspiring hope to keep her wanting to live, who is dying with terminal cancer. Jim Broadbent turns in another careworn character performance that he has become so synonymous with in recent times. Solid enough, although not sure I'd revisit it any time soon.
Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves
This was actually a lot of fun. Bit of a throwback to fantasy adventure flicks of days gone by. I only ever played DnD once about 30years ago, but only vague memories, and quite different from the DnD movie of about 20yrs ago. It's a shame that more people didn't go to see this (and instead went to Mario Bro, uggh) as I doubt will get to see any more of these (and dread the thought of more Mario Bros-esque level). Oh, and special mention to the AD writing, who actually made a few jokes added into the AD as part of the descriptions, rather than just straight descriptions, that made it stand out. Wasnt loads, but just a couple, which added to the overall enjoyment, and wouldnt mind a few other movies take a page out of that book.
