Top Gun Maverick - I really enjoyed this, pure 80s/90s action blockbuster cheese. The flight sequences were insane, loved the direction/editing of it all. I thought the way it handled was really well handled and was quite touching. Even all the nostalgia points felt like they fit in and while...

Earlier in the week I saw an early (for the UK) screening of Everything Everywhere All At Once in IMAX. I'd seen a lot of hype surrounding this movie since it's State-side release so I was pretty eager to see it. I think it takes a little while to get going but once things start to pick up it's...

Reading Disney forums it seems that one of the only expansion pads left at Tokyo Disneyland is behind Space Mountain so the new structure could also be a way to make it easier for guests to get to this future location. Either way it's wild that they're just going to tear down one of the big...

Streaming wise I also recently saw The Bubble, it was fun if a bit stupid. I also watched The Adam Project which I enjoyed but I still quite like Ryan Reynolds. At the cinema I watched a few this week. I started with Operation Mincemeat which is a decent WWII spy thriller. It has a great cast...

Disneyland Paris and ridiculous ride names that no one actually uses is a standard combo these days. Do we know the full name of their version of the Spidey ride yet?

Wow, that's a huge list of updates/changes over the closed season. Loving the look of all the new theming additions in Mexico and Klugheim. Seems to be a lot of effort down by Wuze Town and the lake, it really feels like this might be the end we see the next park update, rather than the...

I've been lacking behind recently, I've missed a few films. I went to an early screening of The Lost City which was fun, essentially a modern version of Romancing the Stone. Daniel Radcliffe steals the show in my opinion, he's pretty good as a slightly unhinged posh villain. There's an overall...

Yeah put me down for this! I think I have 4 or 5 people planning to stay at mine already, no idea if they'll pop up in this topic to confirm.

I hope it connects up to that path down to the Mythica ride queue, despite being a ride entrance it felt a bit dead down there (going behind Fire & Ice Freefall is probably what I'm thinking of). Either way, seems like a nice little addition to this new area of the park.

Interesting that they've already started ground works. If that first image is the ground work placement of the rocking tug, what are they going to do with those game stalls? Having those shutters down doesn't look great and I don't think the planning docs suggested they would become the...

According to a member over at wdwmagic forums we might be getting more news regarding this area April 21st. I'm personally hoping for an opening date so I can start pencilling in when I next go. I think the whole Iron Man area at the back will look quite nice once finished (actual plants are...

I also went to see The Batman. I really liked it, I preferred the more detective style storyline. The film grain and constant rain annoyed me a little bit but it gave it a different feel to the other films. After hearing everyone mention about it being 3 hours I was a little concerned going in...

This is usually my take too but I have had a couple of good experiences so I'm not as eager to dismiss it now.

This was my first thought, I know Griffins tends to get forgotten about but did the park also forget it exists? ;) Always good to see more attractions being added though, they need the added capacity. Also struggling to fully place where these are going. The tug looks like it's blocking one...

Time for a bit of a catch up. Nightmare Alley, I do love the set design and just overall aesthetic style of this film. I thought the cast were really good too but there were moments where I felt a little unsatisfied and I can't quite pinpoint why. Overall it's fine but it's not something in a...

Gutted we're no longer getting his movie version of Haunted Mansion, that would have looked so good.

It'll be a sad day when Spookslot closes, a huge part of classic Efteling. Also glad @SimonProD beat me to posting the Wuthering Heights video. However, that is a mighty investment so I'll be very interested in what they have up their sleeve. I'm also intrigued about the position of the new...

Just got back from seeing the new Scream movie, I'm not 100% sure how I feel about it, I certainly had fun and the whole film (like the entire franchise) is very meta. I dunno, it's fun, not the greatest Scream film but if you enjoy the franchise you'll get a kick out of it.

Very understandable decision, large group organisation is a pain at the best of times but with covid cancellations looming overhead it can't be fun. UK wise I'd be very up for Paultons, looking forward to seeing the new area and it's always more fun as a group.

Only one gets a cinema release now :( Still bitter about the Going Red news from the other day, I wanted to see the big fluffy Red Panda on the big screen. Saw 4 films this weekend, bit of a mixed bag overall. I started with The Electrical Life of Louis Wain (which I think might be coming to...
