Simply put he can fudge off now!: let's hear what he had to say about them first of all; "Today the London firework display is 'the greatest in the world' and that the theme for this year's edition was togetherness. He said: 'We spend a lot of time and effort curating our New Year's Eve celebrations - the theme of tonight's celebration is togetherness."

What a load of horse manure on briefly watching this display again; it was virtual signalling of the highest order in fact I have just realised how racist and sexist it really was as in very little about being Caucasian or male [meaning yes you will hear little bits about men, but the focus point in long cultural and women.] So what he should have said is togetherness minus men of a certain type; they can sit at the kids table with the kids.

I mean for some reason we had Wicked: For Good 2025; Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba Thropp and Ariana Grande as Glinda Upland: all because Erivo she now has a MBE and secondly Grande isn't even a part of the UK, which based on their physical appearances which is more than likely sending negative messages to the younger generations; even before this, I couldn't give two dumplings about one, individually or together they are appalling individuals on how they conduct themselves. Meanwhile Sir Idris Elba, OBE doesn't get a look in.

I like how they somehow chose the song Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody 1987 when one of the things she will be remembered for is being a drug addict, when Britain has one of the best people ever that had substance abuse issues [obviously I am having a little laugh, but also very true and I have to give respect to someone on social media that pointed this out, the first time around as I missed it completely] in Ozzy Osbourne: you know the guy that alongside Black Sabbath or individually created multiple alternative rock sounds, you know someone that actually is British, overcome substance abuse issues, very recently died and has no Royal awards around his name, you know that guy! But yet again there was no sign of him in this performance and don't worry i escaped my notice that right there was this attempt to include lights of the rainbow flag.

Our Mayor is preaching togetherness, but in reality he is preaching the image of togetherness that they want and if you don't fit in, then you are deemed as rejects; this is definitely something like a dictatorship here.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/drugs/vehicle crash/man one woman/violence/burning/medical/references to those of a different sexuality preference

Dancing and other things are outlawed in this place: briefly; these two outsiders/newcomers are moving in with some other members of their family; but our story is primarily focused on Ren McCormack [Kevin Bacon:] he is an outsider to this community that things all of these activities being outlawed is wrong and he sets out to fight for change. But he will have to go up against Reverend Shaw Moore [John Lithgow:] he is the head of community's Church, the community itself and sits on the council as well, he also has a daughter by the name of Ariel Moore [Lori Singer:] she does not share her father's outlook and finally we have Rusty [Sarah Jessica Parker:] she lives in this community, goes to school here and is one of Ariel's friends.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 107 minutes film is largely a bit slow, but does get broken up by its dancing sequences of events and four roughly heading into just before the final section of this film; things do i pick up their feet and become more of a flowing film.

Action, art and comedy; we have the usage of two tractors at some point in this film and for the art itself as you would have gathered by now actually be it the art or/and comedy; it is all about dancing; be it Ren wanting to break free and let his hair down for a minute in this slice of modern culture/part of modern cinema where Ren swings on a rope in this sequence of events or/and a little bit later Ren is trying to teach someone to dance in this montage with not everything going according to plan, but they try and try again.

Character developments and performances; the character developments were good versions of their character types: coming-of-age or/and going up against authority, but it is down to the performances of this cast and how they chose to provide more of a sense of realism to them and consequently to everyone else as well. But the trio of performances from Bacon, Lithgow and Singer: as they are the driving force behind this cast are seemingly more worldly and experience enough to articulate their opinions/views in one case to get given some assistance from another articulate individual

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; even though this film is decades old at this point, it still holds great value as it discusses yes in this case dancing, but dancing is only the vessel to deliver the message. Meaning the message is simply this; if you don't allow children, to be children when it is appropriate to be then they will always find a way to rebel and trust me when I say as a fully grown adult that has quite a few gaps in my personal development, due to missing out or not being able to experience things when I should have in one way or another for whatever reason: it makes adult life much more harder. That is why I strongly disagree with putting any child in any adult position when they clearly do not have the skills of any kind to deal with the situation. This film does also have some awards accredited to its name such as 2 winners ShoWest Convention, USA 1984 ShoWest Award Breakthrough Performer of the Year Lori Singer and Online Film & Television Association 2022 OFTA Film Hall of Fame Song "Footloose" and 7 Nominees which include but not limited to; Academy Awards, USA 1985 Oscar Best Music, Original Song Kenny Loggins (music) Dean Pitchford (lyric) For the song "Footloose", Best Music, Original Song Tom SnowDean Pitchford For the song "Let's Hear It for the Boy" and Young Artist Awards 1985 Young Artist Award Best Young Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture Musical, Comedy, Adventure or Drama Sarah Jessica Parker

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/stabbing/impaling/cutting/transformation/dismemberment/disintegrating/ritual/self harming/slavery/childbirth/suicide/medical/references of misogyny

I am free: paraphrasing/nutshell version: Ares [voiced by Alfred Molina:] he is the God of War that was imprisoned, but now wants to pick up from where he left things. Princess Diana/other names [voiced by Keri Russell:] she is an Amazonian woman that earns the right to stop Aries.

Generally speaking: the script; it is a straightforward origin storyline of how things came to be and consequently as you would expect it doesn't break away from that outlay, so yes I would say the framework and pacing of this 73 minutes film is good; you know I can't really say to much more than what I have said, I am not worried about giving too much away; it is just it is sent out to do as I have already described and that is very much it really.

Art and action; as this project comes from the world of DC as you would have come to expect like 95% of the time; the animation itself is beautifully transported as we enter the viewers from our world into theirs; be it Themyscira/Paradise Island or the world of man or/and the chaotic battle scenes/sequences or when Princess Diana/other names puts foot posterior dealing with these unpleasant individuals

Character developments, comedy and voice performances; well as I have already indicated this is a origin storyline project so the character developments for low what they are meant to at this time. They partially make the Lasso of Truth into this comedy segment now and again, which I get it, but having said that I can also say it is meh. The voice performances did a good job of bringing their characters to life on-screen.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; I mean as I have made it perfectly clear this is a origin project so it fulfils that criteria and there is artistic bits when that ended credits do their thing.

Real Talking Time:

Warning: there is in one way or another flashing or/and colourful effects in any of these trailers

The brothers are back!: I saw the trailer which went on for 144 seconds, I am not being lazy, but this is one those situations where I don't have too much to say really, because all they have to do is basically follow the criteria of a sequel; move things on, in this case use up-to-date computer technology to brighten things up, make it easy on the eyes, introduce/expand this film franchise as it relates to the characters roster/universe and show a little bit of what the sequel has in store and not forgetting a little bit of comedy Bowser/King Koopa [voiced by: Jack Black] loses his temper with predominantly Mario and watch another billion dollars roll in at the box office.

My prediction for this title is 9/10 and the only reason I haven't given it full marks this because I am very much aware of the stigma as it relates to this title being a sequel, you know the sequel not being as positive as its original instalment and I am slightly a bit concerned that Brie Larson as the voice of Rosalina: is connected to this franchise: I mean if you don't know basically I am hoping that the right people in the right areas are smart enough not to have her on the promotional tour, as in a nutshell she isn't the most PR savvy, can make awkward situations, potentially causing this sequel to run the risk of losing money or unless she has grown up or mellowed out or something and yes I am being extremely kind here.

 

Anaconda 2025 by AverageMansReviews

Anaconda 2025 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is animal cruelty/drowning/decapitation/suffocating/drugs/bodily functions/shooting/medical

Let's reboot Anaconda: briefly; Ronald "Griff" Griffen Jr./others [Young Griff: Romeo Ellard/Older: Paul Rudd:] he is an performer that has done little bits and pieces and got given the IP rights to the Anaconda franchise, so he gets is school friends that were big into horror and Anaconda to reboot the franchise; in particular his best friend Doug McCallister [Younger Douglas: Jack Waters/Older: Jack Black:] he is a very talented script writer/director which is currently wasting his talents making wedding videos, after originally declining this opportunity he agrees... which I am absolutely sure nothing will or can go wrong... well fingers crossed... okay they will be lucky to get back in one piece.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script is intellectually silly as we have multiple happening; it uses the intellectual other things going on to balance out the silliness and yes at one point or another they do converge, the framework and pacing of this 99 minutes film is consequently is lively, but I have to say the opening section compared to the rest of this film is a bit slow as if it really does have the handbrake on, but as I was just indicating as you can tell the handbrake does get taken off after some time

Art, action and comedy; the snakes and their visual and/or movements have been greatly updated, the action and/or comedy is plentiful, but I just have to be a little bit selective on what I put in this content; it is because of I don't want to give too much of the storyline away; but the best way for me to illustrate some examples is to; say that with the best intentions something always goes wrong for a couple of examples; we have Griff and another character going searching for a snake for the movie and obviously it doesn't go according to plan for later on we have Griff and Doug in this vehicle being chased by this snake, as they are waiting for another character to make the connection between him, them and these explosives, so they go to set off his explosive devices and it doesn't work, it is because the other character has forgotten to switch is end on; which he turns it on and everything works.

Character developments and performances; the character developments are good versions of what they are meant to be, but let's be honest it is all down to the performances and/or the chemistry; if these performances are not as you will see if or when you go to see this film or see this film; if it doesn't have an enthusiastic nature or this free-flowing chemistry from this cast; then this film really could have fallen flat on its face; if this cast believe in this film then your audiences will follow that cue and consequently get on board for whatever is in store.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; minus the opening section of this film finding itself, I don't see this as a problem because I come from a different world from the younger generations of filmgoers, but the modern generations are not going to appreciate the intellectual silliness of this project: because when it is in full swing, this film uses everything it can lay down on its table, to make this project incredibly lively as from time to time as I have already illustrated we have multiple storyline narratives, with naturally built comedy which from time to time fluently translates into an action sequence or something other, with clearly an established cast that seemingly just had good fun making this re-imagining of Anaconda 1997.

Basically this title shows what I have known for some time now and it is this; if the modern generations are not fed the content of the project in question, as of this content being first created this film has no accredited awards to its name; which is a massive miscarriage of justice as at minimum it deserves some positive nominees to its name after everything is said and done, I mean everyone complains now and again that there is nothing new coming out at the cinema and yes this may not be strictly something new, but it has been clearly as I have already said being re-imagined, so to put this nicely done complain when the film industry try something new and it gets shot down for being different and on top of that nonoffensive either, if slightly graphic and finally yes there is an extra scene in the closing credits somewhere.

 

 

Average Extra of: Potential New Year's Resolution 2026 & Celebrities weight loss medication by AverageMansReviews

Average Extra of: Potential New Year's Resolution 2026 & Celebrities weight loss medication by AverageMansReviews

Real Talking Time:

Warning/Disclaimer: there will be centred adult language references and disclaimer I am not or never likely to be a medical professional of any capacity whatsoever, so anything I say is based on opinion or/and personal experience and anything in between and yes I will be telling you as I see it or at minimum please go and seek medical advice, before undertaking anything and any advice given, if taken I will not be held responsible for any repercussions.

I was thinking I would say something: before your New Year's resolutions, I am completely against these medical drugs in any form that are anything to do with weight loss, unless it is under medical supervision, but other than that I despise this option and have no chocolate fudgin' time for it including but not limited to anyone that undertakes this option off their own back and/or persists in partaking it.

Yes absolutely I have spent the vast majority of my life fighting the inches and I will do so for the rest of my life, I have been really heavy and/or very thin and even options has as I have learnt has its own set of issues; briefly too heavy limits my movement, too thin when I take a hit or bump the results can be much worse if I don't have any significant weight, so it took me years to realise that somewhere in the middle is good for me; which basically means bulky, which in turn means a grand total of 11 months of the year watching what I consume and even when I relax I still watch how much I eat.

You see you would learn all of this about your body if you actually put in the hard work and effort to change your life, instead of saying it isn't working or whatever or not mean committed to the journey in the first place and not forgetting how much people now love a very quick and easy fix solution; but that is your choice or choices.

But there is precisely or are predominately one type of person I wouldn't look up to or listen to and that would be any form of celebrities, now I am not going to mention any names but anyone that looks like a distant relation of Skeletor is or has been on some weight loss drug, because I have been around long enough to know and have seen it myself, that some time ago now it was predominantly female celebrities praising body positivity on any shapes or sizes, including but not limited to those that how to put this nicely running the risk of clearly having medical concerns later on in life due to their size and castrating anyone for having an difference of opinion. I mean there is always something that you need to remember about Hollywood or/and celebrities there was always a bottom line; meaning money driven and joint first is perception, so hypothetically and based on my opinion it was money driven to be of a certain size and it still is just a different size and then we have perception, which most celebrities especially the younger ones and the up-and-coming ones will make sure they are on in their prospective be on the right side of history, but the funny thing is; as they get older they are just creating a technological trail that will trip them up in the future.

This is something to remember real men and I mean real men greatly prefer getting physical with curvy parts and the only bone that you should be feeling is his.

So if it is your new year’s resolution to essentially change your life in this manner; firstly if you want to go and seek medical assistance or advice or if not, you could choose the one change method; where you pick one thing and you choose not to consume it; like for me for about 90% of the time I choose not to eat Walker's crisps [for those that are crisps connoisseurs I mean the potato varieties] and the same goes for chocolate for 70% of the time based on a year cycle, so I may be bulky nowadays but like I said earlier 11 months of the year pretty good with food consumption and exercise.

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/transformation/animal cruelty/electrocution/torture/robotics/disintegrating/burning/child abuse/stabbing/shooting/domestic violence/medical/references to Russia and Soviet Union

Thunderbolts Assemble: briefly; these individual characters get sent on this mission such as Yelena Belova/Black Widow [Younger Yelena: Violet McGraw/Older: Florence Pugh:] she is questioning her life and is deeply unfulfilled and at some point on this mission we get to meet Bob Reynolds/other name/other characters [Younger Bob: Clayton Cooper/Older: Lewis Pullman:] he is a lost individual as in he doesn't remember too much, but everyone agrees that they need to get out of this furnace and seek answers from Valentina Allegra de Fontaine [Younger Valentina: Chiara Stella/Older: Julia Louis-Dreyfus:] she is the current Director of the CIA, but I don't know for how much longer as she is currently also having legal issues.

Generally speaking: the framework, pacing and the script of this 126 minutes film is broadly on the whole good; it does have a lot to do in this title; from reinstalling the faith that Marvel/MCU projects are still of a high quality and worth investing your time and much more importantly separating you from your money, which even though it does feel like it just needs sometime at the beginning of the title to get itself established and settled of things full disclosure I did miss I am going to say roughly 15 minutes, because at some point I really did need to go and make myself comfortable [I will discuss more about the script later on.]

Action, art and comedy; straightaway with me Belova/Black Widow as she apparently attempts to commit suicide [to cover my back: alongside the inner monologue from her this is designed to imply this anyway.] But she doesn't; but instead she parachutes down to begin her mission: this is an elegant way to begin proceedings and what with things getting messy as she kills the type of person she needs with their clearance [with this whole kind of: I shouldn't have done that approach; which is highly comical and very much sets the tone for other comedy in this film: I will now discuss more about this project but in its entirety setting.]

The script; is phenomenally written as on one hand; we have this vibrant nature in the dialogue exchanges as it relates to these characters having to work together to escape this location, but obviously not trusting one another; which over time set the groundwork for this whole dysfunctional family dynamic hopefully to be used in other projects; for an example when Belova/Black Widow asks her father that she had ever known something to the effect of/am paraphrasing, I have gone: have you gotten any sleep? Which Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian [David Harbour:] he has had a rough time of it lately, with him being a limousine driver, but back to this sequence of events; looking a little bit wired says I will sleep when I'm dead.

But much later on: on the other hand and without giving too much away: we the viewers and our cast of misfits travel to this location to rescue some of our other misfits. Firstly the idea and the execution of this landscape is fantastic as it uses basically the concept of Inception 2010. Whilst on the other hand we get to really discuss mental health in the dialogue exchanges including metaphors or/and symbolism [I roughly know the difference between metaphors and/or symbolism: I just get confused when both might apply at some point or another or maybe not throughout this sequence of events,] but the high imagination and creativity to put this eye-catching art, hard-hitting action, dialogue exchanges and subtext altogether, what with following character developments and performances; to create this dysfunctional, yet highly functional cast of characters and their performers needs to be given higher praise indeed and everyone connected to this project should be very happy and delighted with how things turned out.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; I just needed to take a little bit off for in a nutshell this film finding its footing, but other than that; as you can clearly see/read this film has so much to offer and for those at Marvel Studios this is how you manage a sensitive subject such as mental health; now all you have to do is replicate the adult yet down to earth approach to deal with other subjects and you will be good to go, but as it relates to modern times of projects entering the MCU: this based on recent times is very much your standardbearer anything like this or more and you will be absolutely fine. There is some extra bits and pieces including 2 extra scenes; 1 is right at the end and when I am first dictating this; this film has an award accredited to its name;  Guild of Music Supervisors Awards 2025 GMS Award Best Music Supervision for a Trailer (Film) Jordan Silverberg Deric Berberabe
