    One of XDBX's original dirt muscle car races. A long challenging lap and heaps of fun in Muscle cars. Oils Aint Oils is the 1st of 4 races based on the old Castrol GTX ads we had in Australia back in the day (before some of you were even born!) https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps4/jobs/job/WnIPVtWj9E24lWKAnmrJNQ 1) 5:39:640 Bikes Akuma 2) 5:48:214 Supers T20 3) 5:57:151 Sports Elegy 4) 6:01:119 Off Road Bike Sanchez 2 5) 6:07:320 Off Road Car Brawler 6) 6:15:576 Coupes Felon 7) 6:16:944 Sedans V12 A…

      Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo

      What I Watched This Week #155 (Dec 16-22) The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special dir. James Gunn/2022/45m I'm counting down the ten days till Christmas with nothing but festive films, starting off with this short Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. In order to cheer up Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Mantis and Drax (Pom Klementieff, Dave Bautista) decide to get him an extra special present for Christmas, so decide to head to Earth and kidnap Kevin Bacon (Kevin Bacon). Klementieff and Bautista make for a very funny duo so it was nice to spend an extended period of time with them here. Bacon is also great, getting some big laughs from me, especially in his interactions with Drax. Where this film falls somewhat flat is that it focuses a bit too much on the comedy, undercutting the impact of the more emotional scenes. This is something that Gunn handles well in the full length Guardians films but there's just not enough time here to develop those moments fully. That said, this is still an entertaining short that manages to capture the spirit of the season, though we didn't really need to have Kevin Bacon sing a naff song at the end. 7/10 Miracle on 34th Street dir. Les Mayfield/1994/1h54m This remake of the 1947 classic stars Richard Attenborough as Kris Kringle, a jolly old chap who is hired to be a department store Santa for the holidays, and who insists that he's the real deal. This calls his sanity into doubt and a trial ensues where he must prove that he is indeed Santa. Attenborough is magical in this role, equalling Edmund Gwenn's delightful performance in the original. He is warm and playful, exuding a warmth whenever he's on screen and I swear to god he has an actual twinkle in his eye. This is a testament to his skills as an actor as it's a world away from the psychopathic gangster in Brighton Rock or the cold blooded serial killer in 10 Rillington Place. This seemed to be a very faithful remake that kept to the spirit of the original and I was enjoying it greatly, but then we came to the end and it kind of fell apart somewhat. The conclusion to the court case has been totally changed, and totally for the worse. I won't give any details as I think you should definitely watch the 1947 version, but the changes just make it feel smaller, less impactful and not at all magical. A film that could almost be great but falls at the final hurdle. 7/10 Holiday Affair dir. Don Hartman/1949/1h27m This Christmastime romance stars Robert Micthum as Steve, a salesman in a department store who is fired thanks to comparison shopper Connie (Janet Leigh). The two spend the day together and form a connection, even her young son Timmy (Gordon Gebert) is an instant fan. The only problem is her long term beau Carl (Wendell Corey). This is a sweet film with some charm, but I just couldn't buy Mitchum as a romantic lead. He has a dangerous face. After seeing him in films like Cape Fear and The Night of the Hunter I was just expecting him to pull out a switch knife and threaten to cut someone's throat. Leigh is fantastic, and absolutely gorgeous, and I really like how maturely the love triangle is handled. Everyone acts like adults, which I really appreciated. Gebert does well for a child actor, considering his character has a lot to do here. Corey gives a solid performance but his character is a bit bland. A meandering final third leads to a rushed ending but I think there's still enough good stuff here to recommend it. 6.5/10 Red One dir. Jake Kasdan/2024/2h4m When Santa (J.K. Simmons) is kidnapped his head of security, Callum Drift (The Rock), enlists the world's best tracker, Jack O'Malley (Chris Evans), to help find him. This is f*cking awful in every possible aspect. Firstly, I couldn't tell who the target audience is for this film. It's takes itself way too seriously and is too adult for it to be a family film, but it's too simple and basic and boring for any adults to enjoy it. There's no magic about Santa here, he's just the head of some technological corporate entity, and as a character himself he's just boring. He's a buff guy who works out with The Rock at the start of the film then spends the rest of it passed out in a chair. He has no twinkle. The Rock is just The Rock, but the most boring version of The Rock who always has to come across as too cool for any of this. Chris Evans is so bad that I thought he was Ryan Reynolds for a lot of this. It looks awful, with it being so desaturated that it may as well have been in black and white. A bland, soulless piece of content that Amazon shat out just to have something to put on Pirme for the holiday season, this is the polar opposite of a Christmas film. 1/10 Carry-On dir. Jaume Collet-Serra/2024/1h59m Carry-On is not a new entry in the long running British comedy series but rather a Christmas set action thriller that is basically Die Hard in an airport (yes, I know Die Hard 2: Die Harder is already Die Hard in an airport, but you know what I mean). Taran Egerton stars as a low level security officer at LAX on Christmas Eve who is being coerced into letting a man with a very dangerous piece of carry-on luggage onto a plane. He is being watched at all times and being given commands via earpiece by a man known only as Traveler (Jason Bateman). This really feels like a 90s action thriller, if you can go along with the kinda silly premise you'll have fun. Egerton is a good lead, really coming across as an everyman in a crazy situation, and he has a good back and forth with Bateman, who's always one step ahead. This is a film that relies on the tension it builds rather than the action set pieces, of which there are only a handful, and it does a very good job. It also has a few twists that I think were handled nicely. 7/10 The Star Wars Holiday Special dir. Steve Binder, David Acomba/1978/1h37m The infamous Star Wars Holiday Special sees Han Solo (Harrison Ford) help get Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) get back home to his family – wife Malla (Mickey Morton), father in law Itchy (Paul Gale), and son Lumpy (Patty Maloney) – in time for Life Day. Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) also appear, as do guest stars Bea Arthur, Art Carney and Harvey Korman, all the kid's favourites. A cheap, made for TV film just to cash in on the success of Star Wars, this is just pure sh*t. Most of it is spent with Chewie's family and we get no subtitles so f*ck knows what's going on. It's also a sort of variety show, so they have to find ways to shoehorn in musical performances, comedy skits and a cartoon. None of the main Star Wars cast put any effort in, with Ford's performance being particularly contractually obliged. Even Star Wars fans don't like this, and I'm not a Star Wars fan. 1/10 Nick Park's Wallace and Gromit short film collection: A Grand Day Out 1989/23m The Wrong Trousers 1993/29m A Close Shave 1995/30m A Matter of Loaf and Death 2008/29m These four films make up the Wallace and Gromit short collection from Nick Park and while they don't have anything specifically to do with Christmas, they were all originally aired on BBC1 on Christmas day, and make up a large part of my childhood memories of the season. A Grand Day Out sees crackpot inventor Wallace (Peter Sallis) and his long suffering dog Gromit head to the moon after running out of cheese. This stands apart from the other films in terms of tone, as this is a whimsical, silent comedy inspired affair, while the other three are very much inspired by noir films from the 40s and see the duo caught up in various criminal schemes. The Wrong Trousers introduces the penguin jewel thief Feathers McGraw, A Close Shave is about a sheep rustling scheme, while A Matter of Loaf and Death sees a serial killer targeting bakers. My immediate reaction to these films is how wonderfully tactile they are, with the animator's fingerprints visible in the clay models. The style of the films is charming and cosy, which really makes the darker elements stand out when they happen. There's a brilliant use of lighting that hearkens to those older films and can change the whole tone of a scene in an instant. These are also hilarious films packed full of verbal and visual comedy. I love how Gromit is basically eyes and a nose on a lump of clay and he's one of the most expressive animated characters I've ever seen, with his reaction shots of Wallace's antics getting some of the biggest laughs from me. These all live up to their reputations as some of the best British animated films ever, with them all being nominated for Oscars - The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave both winning (and A Grand Day Out losing to another Nick Park film, Creature Comforts). If you've never seen these take a couple of hours and treat yourself. On it's own The Wrong Trousers is a 10/10, but I'll give the whole collection 9/10

      Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo

      The Origin of Evil (2022) dir Sebastien Marnier A French drama about the daughters and wife of an elderly, ill, wealthy man, Serge, fighting over his fortune. The main character, Nathalie (Laure Calamy) introduces herself as the daughter of one of his mistresses who he has not seen since her childhood. I won't say if she is what she claims, but we know from early on she is lying about at least some of her story, and her half sister clearly does not like the idea of someone else to split her eventual inheritance with. It's not like a mystery thriller, more a “why” than “who” dunnit as we slowly learn more about Nathalie and the family she is trying to win over. It's well paced, we get hints of the true story, then a little later things are confirmed, so it's not the sort of film that keeps you guessing until the end. Apart from Jacques Weber playing Serge there are no male characters until almost the very end. At first I didn't notice this as it seemed just coincidental. I'm not sure why they introduced the couple of minor male characters they did, they could have been women too, so they could have had an all female cast, apart from one, if they had wanted. I'm sure they was a reason for all of this, but it wasn't obvious to me. Overall an interesting film, well made and acted. 7 / 10
