Charlie’s Angels flops. I knew it would, from the first time I saw the trailer and was convinced when the early release of the single from the soundtrack flopped.

Can they just stop rebooting everything?

Recently came across two films on the old VCD (Video CD) format:





Screenshots from Toy Story 2… unwatchable in todays standards.

The Nightingale was a big winner at this year’s AACTA Awards, taking home six awards including best film, best direction, best screenplay, best actress (Aisling Franciosi), best supporting actress (Magnolia Maymuru) and best casting. Jennifer Kent became only the fourth person in AFI/AACTA Award history to win best film, best direction and best screenplay in the same year.

Before DVDs were around I seem to recall some shops in Chinatown in Sydney selling bootleg movies on Video CD, as well as numerous Chinese language movies which I assume were also pirated.

Out of an abundance of caution, we recommend that you provide at your venue box office and online, and at other appropriate places where your customers will see it, a notice containing the following information: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker contains several sequences with imagery and sustained flashing lights that may affect those who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or have other photosensitivities.

The trailer for the new Ghostbusters film has been released. Ghostbusters: Afterlife will be a direct sequel to Ghostbusters II and ignore the 2016 reboot.

Some advice for anyone who is going to see Frozen 2. Stay until the credits have ended.

I have no interest in seeing it. The original trilogy in their original versions are perfect. Everything since has been disappointing.

I find it really annoying when websites focus on the negative with headlines like:

Star Wars has worst opening weekend of trilogy

When in actual fact, it has actually still had a massive debut:

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker had the seventh-best opening weekend in Australian history

So much negativity around.

Well, The Rise of Skywalker had a worse opening weekend then The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, both in Australia and USA. One would have thought being the last title in the saga, there would have been more interest which would lead to a bigger box office.
