For ½ of August, I've been on holiday, so looking after the kids has taken over. The wife and I did rewatch Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire which was still a lot of fun, especially as I'm a big Ghostbusters fan. However, despite saying that, with these new sequels, there's something about Afterlife that I feel makes it the better of the two.
This week, I've managed to squeeze in four films. I've reviewed them on my blog, so I'll leave links but also give you a few quick thoughts.
Rebel Moon: Part One — Chalice of Blood / Part Two — Curse of Forgiveness (2024) - Review
I really enjoyed the original edits (Review of Part One / Part Two). The story isn't exactly original, but I became immersed in Snyder's world. I loved the whole aesthetic. These longer versions enhanced a few story elements and just offered up more visual treats. Maybe a bit too much slo-mo though.
Very disapointed. I didn't like Alien: Covenant, so I didn't like that story points from that film were carried over in to this one. Also, there was too much fan service as well with lines and easter eggs littering the film.
A film that was recently discussed on Corridor Crew's VFX Artists React. That and the fact is was the same director as The Mummy piqued my interest and so I gave it a watch.

Very disapointed. I didn't like Alien: Covenant, so I didn't like that story points from that film were carried over in to this one. Also, there was too much fan service as well with lines and easter eggs littering the film.
