Best quote from a kids' #film this weekend...
"It's almost like stealing people's data and giving it to a hyper-intelligent AI as part of an unregulated tech monopoly was a bad thing."
-- The Mitchells vs the Machines

Hacksaw Ridge, 2016 - ★★★
This film is a lot longer than it needs to be, with the first hour being slow and a little too preachy. That said, when the troops do finally reach Hacksaw Ridge, it becomes a very powerful, and remarkably brutal, tale of selfless courage under fire.

The Mitchells vs. The Machines, 2021 - ★★★
That was fun. Nothing spectacular plot wise, but it is very well put together, with some surprisingly effective visual tics.

We saw Minions: The Rise of Gru last night. It's a very silly film, but it's very funny throughout.

Minions: The Rise of Gru, 2022 - ★★★★
Minions: The Rise of Gru is silly, chaotic, slapstick fun. This is a film that knows exactly what it is setting out to achieve, and one that achieves these aims spectacularly.
This is not a deep film, it's debatable whether it is even a very good film. But it is a lot of fun.

Vicus Triple is, as far as I can tell, a local #beer for local people. It's also rather pleasant when sitting in the sun.
