Masters Of The Universe - I HAVE THE POWERFUL Film Review!

BEHOLD! THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE ARE BACK!!!!

The film follows He-Man (Prince Adam), who was stranded on Earth as a child. Years later he rediscovers the Sword of Power and returns to the world of Eternia, which has fallen under the rule of Skeletor. To save his home, he must embrace his destiny as He-Man.

Honestly, the new He-Man Masters Of The Universe film is brilliant! Absolutely amazing even.

The soundtrack is from Daniel Pemberton and Brian May, I loved it. The synthy over worldly sounds  and choirs, among May's signature Guitar sounds is iconic! There's a part of the track that literally sounds like a western vibes with like galloping in it and that's so good.

Skeletor was brilliant and a scene stealer, Jared Leto finally gets his flowers for an acting role. Nicolas was a great Adam/He-Man. The cast were great. 

Really enjoyable film which has grit, cheese, humour and heavy hitting action!

He-Man has a throne room fight that was awesome and then the final battle was epic. There were punches thrown I could feel echo through me in my seat.

Honestly so good and I'd happily watch it again. Please support this film! There's 3 after credits, so please stick around and also don't let this movie flop, I want more! Travis Knight did a hell of a job.

A Meeting With Dr. Rudefellows.

Story Time: 

I've been battling a sore throat for 2 weeks now. The past few days it's got worse. It's swollen left side and hurts when I swallow. I was unable to seek gp help Thursday when I felt it was at its worst state and local pharmacies were no help either. 

I went to a pharmacy 10mins away and got seen quickly and the pharmacist was so lovely and down to earth. Making jokes aswell as sharing his own experiences. Unfortunately he didn't really know what is my issue but my left side glands are definitely swollen and he fast tracked me and appointment with my GP the next day. Thanks again Dr Chris. 

However, I still needed to call my GP to set it up. So today this morning 8am I was constantly ringing my gp and after 30 calls and 45mins trying I finally got through and had an appointment for 2:15 so I attended said appointment on time and the Dr who seen me, I'll be honest was absolutely terrible. 

Dr Amy (I think her name was) just couldn't wait to get me out of the room. She asked me to sit down and she checked my good side and said all was fine. She didn't bother checking my ear on left side smh. She asked me to relax my tongue so she can see down my throat and said I need to relax it more. I then asked her to check my glans because the pharmacist said he could see straight away how red and raised my left side was by my neck and jaw and Amy went to go check but she said "You should have trimmed your beard before coming, I can't see anything with this in the way" and I thought that's rude but I jokingly went with it and said "oh you should have asked me to do it before I came in" and she said "hmm yes well it feels a little hot and swollen" and then came the stick down the throat and no luck she didn't seem to know what the issue was just that I'd be prescribed some sort of penicillin. She said "if the smell of food or chewing food makes your glan swell more it's so dangerous and life threatening that you need to see A&E straight away."

Ok no worries will do doc and then when I asked her if she doesn't mind looking at another issue, this time it was my legs. I had asked if she have a quick look and see what she thinks and she sighed and said "make it quick" and so I did and she just said "I've no idea maybe your legs have swollen lymph nodes or you have a case of lymphoedema but I couldn't tell you for sure." She should have just said "Mr Jones, sorry I am unable to look into anything else other than your sore throat at the moment" rather than be rude and seemingly annoyed of my existence there. I hate Drs who only seem to be doing it for the money, those ones with no single care for their patients. 

In the end I walked away with a prescription and I'm taking it and see how we go. Hopefully I'll be better and good again by bank holiday Monday. 🤞

MORTAL KOMBAT 2 - MOVIE REVIEW (A NEAR FLAWLESS FATALITY)

Mortal Kombat II, directed by Simon McQuoid, follows Earthrealm’s fighters as they finally enter the brutal Mortal Kombat tournament against Shao Kahn and the forces of Outworld. The sequel introduces Johnny Cage as a major new hero while characters like Kitana, Scorpion, Liu Kang, and Raiden battle to stop Earthrealm from being conquered.

Alright listen up, I'll be upfront and honest, this is better than the first but still a way off from being a Flawless victory.

Please bring me a Johnny Cage / Kano buddy cop team up movie. That would be five stars easily. Also Baraka, funny af. Add him to the buddy cop movie. Best fight is probably Liu Kang Vs [REDACTED]. That one felt like two players going at it.

The film is very much Kitana's. Liu Kang is pretty much a background character unfortunately. Cole Young gets like 10mins of screen time total and it's a shame they listened to the fans about it. I do like Cole I like his power but if they doubled down and just added to him they could have redeemed him for fans.

Fights, blood, humour was wicked. Story was meh at best of times. The tournament fell to the background while the pressing matters of seeking an amulet took over. The tournament I wish had more of an arena feels to it rather than "levels" or "stages". Shao Kahn I wish talked more shit to his opponents. Kano I wish had his cyborg eye. Sindel was useless. Great Ed Boon cameo. 

The theme song always slaps, overall I had a pretty good time with this and hopefully we get more from this cinematic universe.

A video message from Tai aka Joshua Seth.

I requested a cameo video message from Joshua Seth who voices Tai. I was just telling him that I was a big fan of his work as Tai and that as a kid I gave myself the middle name of Tai.

I also asked him for a good ol' fashioned Tai pep talk to digivolve in the gym.

A Pep Talk From Beerus & Jason Douglas

I have been in a slump and so I took advantage of cameo on their tax return discount day and bought myself a cameo from the legendary Jason Douglas aka Beerus The Destroyer from Dragonball Super. You will also recognise Jason from many other animes and video games and also from The Walking Dead TV series.

Four Seasons In Five Minutes - Original song by SJones

 [Verse 1]

Put my shorts on

Sky looked kinda nice

Mam said take your coat

I should’ve took her advice

One step out the door

Ah

Lovely bit of blue

By the time I reach the corner shop

I’m soaked straight through

[Chorus]

Weather in Wales is on the wine again

Raining on my head

Then sun

Then hailstones

Then

Snow on my driveway

Sun on my face

Thermals in July

This land’s a state

Yeah

Weather in Wales

It’s lost the plot today

Four seasons in five minutes

Then it does it all again

[Verse 2]

Suncream on my nose

Then the sky just screams

Pebbles from the clouds

Bouncing off my jeans

Blink and it’s December

White on every car

Next blink

Neighbour’s in a deckchair

Grilling like a star (what’s going on?)

[Chorus]

Weather in Wales is on the wine again

Raining on my head

Then sun

Then hailstones

Then

Snow on my driveway

Sun on my face

Thermals in July

This land’s a state

Yeah

Weather in Wales

It’s lost the plot today

Four seasons in five minutes

Then it does it all again

[Bridge]

One day warm

Next day Baltic cold

I dress in layers

Like I’m 90 years old

Flip-flops

Scarf

Gloves and shades as well

Pack for a weekend

To walk to Tesco’s shelf (hey!)

[Chorus]

Weather in Wales is on the wine again

Raining on my head

Then sun

Then hailstones

Then

Snow on my driveway

Sun on my face

Thermals in July

This land’s a state

Yeah

Weather in Wales

It’s properly on the pull

Four seasons in five minutes

And they all turn up in full

Project Hail Mary FILM REVIEW

A Wail Of A Time! 🪨👎

Project Hail Mary is based on the novel by Andy Weir and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and it delivers a compelling mix of science, suspense, comedy, and surprisingly heartfelt moments. It’s a story that manages to feel both epic in scale and deeply personal at the same time. Going into this film, there was a lot of hype, especially because of the massive success of Weir’s previous adaptation, The Martian. Add Ryan Gosling as the lead, and expectations were understandably high, particularly with it being based on another well-loved Weir novel.

The movie follows Ryland Grace, a man who wakes up alone on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or how he got there. As his memories gradually return, he discovers he’s on a last-chance mission to save Earth from certain annihilation. From that point on, the film becomes a tense survival story filled with problem-solving, discovery, humour, heartfelt moments, and unexpected twists.

I went into Project Hail Mary not really knowing what to expect (I haven’t read the book) but it honestly surprised me in a good way. One thing I really enjoyed was how the film made the science interesting instead of boring. Normally that kind of thing can drag, but here it actually made me more invested because you’re basically solving the problems alongside him.

Much like The Martian, it focuses on realistic scientific challenges but presents them in a way that feels engaging rather than overwhelming. Each breakthrough feels rewarding. Also, for an end-of-the-world type film, it doesn’t lean too heavily into dread or existential crisis like others in the genre, which was refreshing.

The lead character is another highlight. Ryland Grace isn’t your typical action hero, he’s relatable, often unsure, and occasionally overwhelmed. That makes his journey feel more grounded and believable, which adds to the emotional impact. 

Visually, the film captures the isolation of space really well while still keeping things engaging. There’s also a strong emotional core that develops as the story progresses, adding depth beyond just survival and science.

It’s also great to see practical effects and puppetry being used. Rocky (our beloved rock friend) is easily one of the heart and soul elements of the film. Honestly, we love you Rocky, you are amaze, amaze, amaze. His audio design was incredible, and the soundtrack was beautiful too.

Overall, Project Hail Mary is an intelligent and engaging sci-fi film that offers more than just spectacle. It’s a story about survival, problem-solving, and connection in the most unexpected circumstances. It’s also a genuinely fun watch and a great big-screen experience, it's a film that you need to see on the big screen. A must-watch for fans of smart, character-driven sci-fi, especially if you enjoyed The Martian, Ryan Gosling, or Andy Weir’s work

Things That I Do - Original song lyrics by SJones

[Verse 1]

Boots sink deep in the frozen ground

Mud on our faces

Smoke all around

You pass me bread with a shaking hand

Say

"Son, Hold tight to whatever you can"

[Chorus]

We fight the dark with borrowed light

Side by side in the broken night

If this is where our last stand lands

I’ll meet my fate with your name in my hands

Father and son in a stolen time

Two shadows stuck on the same thin line

If I fall first

If you fall too

I’ll carry you home in the things that I do

[Verse 2]

Shells write fire on a paper sky

You shout my name as the dirt flies high

We dive together in the shattered rain

Your shoulder pressed to my ribs like a chain

You say

"If I go, Boy, Don’t stand still, Walk out of this with your stubborn will"

I see the fear that you try to hide

Same brown eyes as mine

Just a little more tired

[Chorus]

We fight the dark with borrowed light

Side by side in the broken night

If this is where our last stand lands

I’ll meet my fate with your name in my hands

Father and son in a stolen time

Two shadows stuck on the same thin line

If I fall first

If you fall too

I’ll carry you home in the things that I do

[Bridge]

Morning creeps in through the wire and bones

Rats and letters and dents in our souls

You show me a picture

Creased and worn

A baby boy in your arms by the door

"That was you" 

you laugh through the cold

"All the reason I ever had to grow old"

Now we’re here

Same coat

Same name

Praying this mud forgets our faces and our age

[Chorus]

We fight the dark with borrowed light

Side by side in the broken night

If this is where our last stand lands

I’ll meet my fate with your name in my hands

Father and son in a stolen time

Two shadows stuck on the same thin line

If I walk out and you’re not through

I’ll carry you home in the things that I do

(yeah) I’ll carry you home in the things that I do
