Warning: there are drugs/references to sexual assault/domestic violence and racism

This is a day in the life of: briefly; Jimmy Banks [Danny Dyer:] he is a football/soccer agent with plenty of bravado and has a history of alcoholism; his client is Matt Gravish [Elliott Rogers:] here is Banks' only client and they go back many years, but is currently facing serious time behind bars for sexual assault.

Generally speaking: well we have a lot to cover; the backdrop to this project is based in Banks' office so we don't leave this location and consequently it is very much a location-based project, yes we may have things coming into and out of this location such as TV or telephone calls or Banks himself; but we don't leave this location once we are here; so the framework is excellent and on a quick side note; this would be a good project to turn into a theatre production; because a high percentage of people like football/soccer, if you could get Dyer to perform live and not forgetting the production costs would be relatively low based on it taking place in one location. But I digress; the pacing of this movie needs time to warm up as it only goes on for roughly 89 minutes.

Art and character development; the scene and wardrobe designer are excellent as we have this location that indicates it at one point or another is a very busy location with it indicating that Banks spends more time here than what he clearly should and what with him wearing the old-fashioned trousers and braces which with his colourful language and being a Londoner; he clearly is a poster individual for what a yuppie; back in the day of the 1980s, we also have now and again these elegant little moments of the day moving on with sunlight changing position.

Character developments, performance and voice performances; unfortunately this is where this project loses some marks; broadly speaking to begin with the character developments are good, you get a real sense of these individuals are. But what doesn't sit too well with me is; we are dealing with a sensitive subject and we get no major exposition other than the recordings; meaning we have no idea if Banks; was drunk at the time [I am not using this as an excuse just for the record I am just trying to highlight, this would have been useful exposition] or just focused on working hard to provide for his family at the time or just didn't see it, I also need to highlight if you knew this information, I seriously doubt it that you would have not done something about it, so he is in a bad guy, at worst may be and clearly clueless; I mean this would have been crucial exposition, because it indicates to us what kind of person Banks is deep down. Which conversely makes this other individual look potentially immature and vengeful amongst other things; I mean all it would have taken is some memory recalls from Banks' respective so he/we could piece together; this is one of those occasions where I feel on reflection they really did drop the ball on this crucial and vitally important character development.

Dyer puts in a masterful and powerful performance; in particular when it feels like the pacing has got up to speed and he can take full control of this film in its entirety; he shows great depth in this performance; a Londoner which is very much his forte, to him being pushed to the limits and his more vulnerable and caring nature; he should be getting either lots more work based off this performance or/and at minimum positive awards nominations for this performance; because without him this film would be nothing as he puts in a whole range of moving emotions and the voice performances; they are all good as well.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; on reflection I would have given a lesser mark based on what they clearly found to be... highly annoying and irritating, but I am stuck to my original marking based on Dyer's performance; so in summary I said to myself I would give this marking but also make it clear I was not best pleased with this lack of informative crucial character developments

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/birth/transformation/impaling/shooting/animal cruelty/animal feeding/suicide/disfigurement/dismemberment/disintegrating/drowning/robotics/torture/squashing/medical. I will be using censored adult language in this content, but it will make sense.

USM Auriga: basically; we are on a research facility where Lt. Ellen Ripley/Ripley 8 [Young Ellen Ripley: Nicole Fellows/Older: Sigourney Weaver:] she is a biologically adapted clone of the original Lt. Ellen Ripley; this version is more don't give two dumplings which makes her come across as more boots to posterior kind of being with the comedy of as I have already said someone that doesn't give two dumplings about anyone or anything. Meanwhile there are these traders/bandits that come to drop off some cargo and do some business; two members of this crew are; Annalee Call [Winona Ryder:] she is the newest member to this crew of the Betty and she is headstrong and the other is Ron Johner [Ron Perlman:] he is the more business focus member of the crew meaning if he has to pick up a weapon or leave someone behind to get things done so be it.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 109 minutes film is good; as we are on this facility/location, the outlay of this instalment is straightforward as it knows what it is doing from beginning to end and sticks to that.

Comedy, character developments, action and art; Johner would like to go one-on-one with Lt. Ripley/Ripley 8 in a game of basketball, but as I have already indicated she does not like people so with her newly found abilities/skills; she antagonises him by basically playing a game of keep ball [as to keep the ball away from him. Much later on we have a underwater sequence of events;. we have these xenomorph/aliens swimming/chasing down these characters that are swimming and that some point shooting at these aliens. Yes for those extremely picky people out there in Internet land; the special effects are looking a little bit old, as you can tell from the black outlines in some parts of this sequence of events, but obviously as you come to expect from this franchise at this point in its history; the art is best described as highly detailed graphic and shows excellent imagination.

Character developments and performances; the character developments are very good version of their character types, which do show through at different points in this instalment, but although I have to highlight the chemistry throughout this cast is free-flowing representation of their character types; with the reigns basically being taken off Lt. Ripley/Ripley 8 and show what essentially she would be like without some elements of the original/including enhancements also the later on blossoming relationship between her and Call [Weaver and Ryder:] there is a lot of high-quality positives to take away from this film title.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; I have decided to award two extra marks, based on it needs to be seen once in their lifetime and in particular seeing Weaver as Lt. Ripley/Ripley 8 as this woman that walks around that could very easily put foot to posterior should be given high praise. It has always annoyed me that Weaver in my opinion has never been given the high level of respect that she rightly deserves as the first woman that made it possible for women to be given an action lead role throughout her participation in this franchise and her connection with Call/Ryder as I have already indicated as a big positive. This film also has some awards to its name and no they are not all positive; 7 that includes Blockbuster Entertainment Awards 1998 Blockbuster Entertainment Award Favorite Supporting Actress - Sci-Fi Winona Ryder and 21 Nominees from the same award ceremony/event Blockbuster Entertainment Award Favorite Actress - Sci-Fi Sigourney Weaver. Negatives; Winner Bogey Awards, Germany 1997 Bogey Award and The Stinkers Bad Movie Awards 1997 Stinker Award Worst Actress Sigourney Weaver and then Worst Supporting Actress Winona Ryder

Real Talking Time:

My reaction: like everyone else I should imagine you have seen the 36 seconds trailer where we have this hammer type of object breaking through to release simultaneously with Dr. Ivo Robotnik [voice by/voice over by: Jim Carey:] as he indicates in a nutshell a big change is coming. Whilst on-screen we have characters in the crystals flying by and Shadow being at the end.

This is simple yet effective and eye-catching advertising, so I don't really have to say too much you, because the vast majority of you should or are already invested considerable this is the fourth instalment of this live-action legend computer game franchise and as long as they backed up what they say with big change or something to that effect then we shouldn't or there shouldn't be any major problems, as of when this content is/was first created the release date should be sometime in March 2027: so I am going to predict based on this trailer that this film is safely going to hopefully get somewhere around 8/10 or higher, I have gone slightly a little bit lower just be myself a little bit of wiggle room and yes obviously I am looking forward to it.

Warning: there will be censored adult language references to in this content

I have a quick question: so when are the WWE going to distance themselves from this situation.... and I know, I know the answer already... they aren't. So the purpose of this content is me just pointing out they should, but as they work alongside one another they just aren't and this is one of those situations where if I don't say anything, as it is in my jurisdiction of content creation, it may look as if I am being complicit, which I am clearly not if I don't say a little something.

So when is enough; enough? Because being a convicted felon of over 30 counts isn't enough, having strong ties to a convicted sex offender in Jeffrey Epstein and consequently the Epstein Files, consequently as far as I can tell and see it and I have the great fruits to put it in this content; to start a war with Iran as a distraction technique [even though I am aware that there have been heinous acts going on in this country for decades, so it seems convenient that the US would take action now,] including allegedly yet strongly implicated basically all but confirmed, but I still have to use the word allegedly to be safe, so I don't spread misinformation bombing a female school and now the fuel supply of Europe has now been hit, I mean even the WWE themselves as things stand may have to move WrestleMania 43/2027, because they can't seriously be thinking of still heading over there and when I say heading over there I mean to Riyadh Saudi Arabia?

Because as I have already referenced they have strong ties to the White House, so why wouldn't they be a flight risk of the highest order, and don't get me wrong I am not even trying to scaremonger anyone, that isn't even my point but the fact remains this is war and war would dictate that the WWE are a flight risk in the Middle East, I mean if you think I forgot about the football/soccer World Cup I haven't... where in a nutshell the Orange skin mark passively aggressively couldn't guarantee the safety of the men's Iran football team when they attend the World Cup; which is disgraceful, they the right to be there based on they have qualified like everyone else.

So based on football/soccer I hope they can attend and be bigger people than what is happening outside of football and quite clearly the Orange bleached posterior hole.

I mean I know it is late in the day but I would love to strip the United States of America from hosting the tournament, considering on one hand they should absolutely guarantee the safety of all concerned and not forgetting on the other hand President Trump was awarded the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize – Football Unites the World when not only is this just horse manure, the inaugural person should have always been the one and only Pelé, I mean if they wanted to have this award taken seriously in the place, Trump should be absolutely nowhere near this award whatsoever to the point where if he was the last person on Earth, he still wouldn't be in the running for it.

At this point I am just going to leave this content like this; so what else does someone have to do to get removed from the WWF/WWE Hall of Fame?

Real Talking Time:

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects

 My reaction: I have just properly taken in this 100 seconds trailer and I can already tell what they have gone with here, with the storyline/character developments of Miranda Priestly can't remember who these people are on the surface, but deep down she does remember who they are and I would guess she now needs them as she has obviously gotten 20 years older and either can't do this stuff anymore because of ageing consequently looking for someone or people to be her successor or has a dying illness coinciding with a nostalgia pop.

But regardless; I already have my ticket for the sequel and I know the last time I made plans like this things can getting in the way so I couldn't see the movie and when I say things kept getting in the way for an example; my wheelchair broke down twice on two separate occasions, so I was not destined to see that movie on the big screen.

So if you want me to predict a mark for this sequel; I think it would be safe to assume a 4 or 5/10, so basically based on my viewing experience something similar to its previous instalment.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/child abuse/Russia/shooting/transformation/disfigurement/terrorism/bodily functions/disfigurement/animal cruelty/self harm/cutting/medical/reference to Ukraine

Well this is certainly something isn't it...: briefly; John Rossi/Simon Templar/other names [Younger: Adam Smith/Older: Val Kilmer:] he is a highly skilled thief that also goes by the name of The Saint, he undertakes this job by the Russians to get his hands on this formula and give it to them for $3 million. Dr. Emma Russell [Dr. Emma Russell:] she is a scientist that has been working on this formula for cold fusion.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script, character developments/exposition and framework and pacing of this 111 minute film is problematic from the outset, as the storyline/script is absolutely tedious, with lengthy exposition on our lead character which brings very little to the table other than we understand a reference later on in the film [so in essence this is just a long way to go to make something makes sense later on in the film;] then we have to go through this time of going where the hell are we? Because we have a massive time jump and then the framework and pacing; the framework is fine; it has clearly been laid out and structured in a smooth manner, but the pacing is so agonisingly slow and mix that with everything else; which you will read in due course... wow this film is hard work to watch.

Art and action; we get is in this drawing of this other art piece, also have this vehicle slowly getting rigged to explode and this game of Russian Roulettes [if you haven't guessed already I am struggling for positive elements to this content.]

Character developments, performances and comedy; they are either generic as it relates to the character developments coinciding with performances that are/were formulaic... but there is no way in hell Kilmer should have been given the nominee he had been given for this performance as he is by far the best thing about this film and Shue is very much worth her nomination when her character shows the knowledge and skills to drag our lead character down; brings their on-screen chemistry to life as well. Kilmer as these characters and within his performance of those characters tries to be comical and make two of his persona' quirky.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; you know when a film is meant to be taken seriously, but it just comes off incredibly cheap and tacky that saying a film is poor, isn't actually doing the justice it richly deserves; this film is by far appalling on mostly every single level to the point where I am actually going to say you should actually watch it to see how bad it actually is... but I should warn you even I struggled to get through this project and the person watch some of this content with was in the same mindset as myself; yes I have shown that this film does have some positives, but it is a counter balance situation, where the negatives are so overwhelming that I can't go any higher and there is an ongoing seen when the ending credits begin to roll. This title has some awards accredited to its name like 1 Winner BMI Film & TV Awards 1998 BMI Film Music Award Graeme Revell. 2 Nominees which one is positive and the other isn't; Blockbuster Entertainment Awards 1998 Blockbuster Entertainment Award Favorite Actress - Suspense Elisabeth Shue and the other is Razzie Awards 1998 Razzie Award Worst Actor Val Kilmer

To get ahead in life; you may want to trim your family tree: briefly; Becket Redfellow [Younger: Grady Wilson/Older: Chris Powell:] currently he is a convict sitting on death row taking this religious figure thrown these events which led him to be getting executed shortly.

Generally speaking: the entirety of this project is a complete mess and it just expects us to go with the flow and not to ask questions really, so be it the storyline/script or the framework and pacing of this 105 minutes film; where we have the usage of storyteller from Becket: where it takes such a long time in the first couple sections to get anything done, with zero pacing the it is very easily completely this interesting and man I have seen snails with more live and enthusiasm than this film, then we get to that point where these targets drop in relatively quick succession, by this point I am like... I am so disinterested, and what with the non-sensical and miraculous piece of paper, with unexplained character developments and not forgetting for a woman that has done very little in this film and is not a nice person and ends up pretty well; the character developments are atrocious really; they are either extremely wafer thin with a lack of maturity or/and as I have will be said at atrocious. By and large I think there is only one person that really can hold my head up high and say that they did a good job with what was given to them and that would be Jessica Henwick as Ruth: she begins as another character's girlfriend, but she really does put in a solidly good performance: this is one of those occasions where based on this movie; this is actually really high praise with all things considered.

The action or/and comedy l well the action predominantly for in this title does not interest me in the slightest, but when we are in this mansion location I would consider this one-on-one sequence of events; to be worth highlighting as a positive and were clearly consequently something to put in this content and just to finish off; this apparently is meant to be a dark comedy or something to that effect, but the problem is I didn't actually find any of this film being remotely funny or/and amusing.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; I chose to quickly produce this content based on the fact of time and/or a lack of it; I just didn't want to waste my time on it if we were being honest with one another and I just wanted to get this content done in the first place; I mean it is a complete mess from beginning to end I really wouldn't waste my time on it. [Yes I am fully aware of the hypocritical nature of what I have just said,] considering I have just done that which I have now advised you not to do, but look at it this way I have just taken a bullet that you don't have to take, so you are welcome.
