  Flashdance 1983

  ★★½ Watched by Danny B 19 Sep 2021

  (Blu-ray)

  
  For whatever reason I had it in my head this was some acclaimed and loved '80s classic. Also that it was some nice wholesome film for the whole family, so I was surprised when the film dropped C bombs and spent a lot of time at a strip club. Either way, it's not very good.

  Jennifer Beale's performance is very good and has a lot of presence, but there is so little to her character as she goes through…

  Faster 2010

  ★★★½ Rewatched by Danny B 19 Sep 2021

  (Blu-ray)

  Well, this is mostly just a horrible mess. The voice performances are great, Mark Hamill is incredible as expected as The Joker. The inclusion of both Hamill and Kevin Conroy makes me feel like it could be canon to the Arkham game series (Which…

  Free Guy 2021

  ★ Watched by Danny B 11 Aug 2021 10

  (Cinema)

  After being bombarded by the trailer for this about 50 times in the past year, I was more or less done with this film before it even released. When I saw the reviews were shockingly good, I thought maybe I had been mislead and the actual film was going to be fun. I was dead wrong.

  I'm dumbfounded by how good the reception to Free Guy has been. It's a shockingly bad and generic big-budget studio comedy that feels…
