@NTA I didn't mind that film , I think it went straight to DVD . It was like the matrix without the benefit of Carrie Anne Moss in tight leather.
That's a good summary - also big nods to Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

Ha! A book of mine out next year has a femdom heroine. I did a fuckton of research, and know a lot more about the topic than I ever thought I would...
Actually, my research even included a historical truth is stranger than fiction moment. Selected a random street because it had the right London location, as it turned out, a lady who lived there ran a flagellation house in the late 1700/early1800s and was famous throughout Europe.
I kinda love my job so much. -

Jungle Book
Worth all the plaudits. 5 out of 5 burned tigers
Not that sold on it truth be told Nick. The Americanisms in the dialogue grated a bit and although the film was well put together (aside from the Seppo-ness) it didn't quite meet my expectations. Not a waste of time by any means, just not quite as good as I'd hoped.

Bridget Jones Baby.
I laughed quite a lot. IT's a proper chick flick, but there are some bloody funny scenes. Ending is quite predictable. But, if the missus wants to watch it, then of course leverage the shit out of it as a favour to her, but don't be against it, it is quite funny.
In the theatre I watched it in, a whole bunch of cougary Mum cheered when Dempsey took his shirt off ... so it is that sort of movie.

I never read the book, and saw hardly any of the Disney animated movie. So I was going in fresh.

Equilibrium
Christian Bale enforces the laws in a dystopian, post-WW-3 future.
Feelings and emotion have been identified as the causes of conflict, so have been banned. People suppress their feelings with Prozium and get about their day with minimal ... anything. Art of any kind is banned as it elicits emotional responses.
Anyway, the first half of the film is about as dry as that description, but it picked up nicely toward the second stanza.
3.5 out of 5 dead Sean Beans
That's one of those "saw it years ago but wouldn't mind doing so again" type of movies. I always like a good post apocalyptic flick that imagines how life might be like......doesn't it lose all credibility by having him waste multiple enemies single handedly without a scratch or am I thinking of something else ?

@NTA I read the book (and the Just So stories) so long ago I've all but forgotten them The Disney flick is still fresh in my mid though thanks to raising two Ms Catos. The Disney film is referenced more via the music than anything els and of course is more Seppo centric again. For me it was not so much the film not being much cop more that my expectations were pretty high. It's a film I'd be able to watch again in a few years time though.

Legend of Tarzan - not a great movie, but not a rubbish one either, decent watch, would give it 3 crazed apes out of 5 bad guys, but because it had Margot Robbie, it gets 3.5 .

@taniwharugby tits?

@mariner4life alas, it was more a family type movie, but Margot it Margot!!

Bale and Beans characters were taught some sort of martial art involving using fully automatic pistols . Only the clerics knew it , its a bit easier to believe than a man dressed as giant Lycra clad bat prancing around a city at night and no one ever figuring out his true identity

I too watched this the other night. It was terrible. Not even Margot Robbie could have saved it ... maybe her tits could have but sadly we'll never know. Sadly this was a movie I should have stopped at about the 20 to 30 minute mark but I stupidly didn't and then had to watch it until the end. All the parts should have been good - Robbie, Waltz, the dude from True Blood (but really he's the dude from Generation Kill), Sam l Jackson, but the script was just so shit and almost racist (yeah, I'll take the risk of one of the OWM calling me a SJW ;)).
-5 not seeing Margot Robbie's boobies out of 5 seeing Margot Robbie's boobies.
Luckily, I didn't make the same mistake later in the week, there was a poor selection of movies on Virgin so I thought I'd watch Point Break - I'm going to give it shit so I may as well watch it so I know why I was giving it shit. I got 20 minutes in, I saw some motorbiking, some surfing and Teresa Palmer in a bikini. This movie was so good damn awful that I turned it off at the scene of her in the bikini. -1 Utahs out of 5 Pappas'.
So after turning that off I decided to watch Deadpool for a second watch, and it was awesome again.

@Nepia haha I agree wholeheartedly on PB!!
I didnt mind Tarzan, although TBF, I had just spent 4 hours in a hospital (for a 2nd day) bed with a needle in my arm and a whole heap of anaesthetic in my face with minimal sleep....I wont watch it again to see if I think any diifferent, but stand by my initial opinion

Hahaha, so lucky - if only I had some anaesthetic when I watched it.

Watched "Sicario" last night. Fucking bleak that movie.
Not your average crime procedural is it? Blurred lines, lack of accountability, hints of sanction from higher up (without wanting to know details) it paints a murky picture. And that makes it. No emotional wrap up, no happy ending, just acceptance.
During the movie i found myself fucking annoyed by Emily Blunt's character. As i sat there thinking "don't be such a fucking stick in the mud, let the men get results" i realised how much the action movies of my childhood have warped my perception of movie characters. Blunt was essentially the "stupid chief" (cheers Ruthless) wanting shit done by the book, while the others were the formerly main characters, just doing what they need to in order to get the bad guy. And it was easy for me to slip in to the habit of rooting for them. It was only on reflection that i thought about how fucked up what they were doing must be to someone in law enforcement, or who believes in what they are doing.
Good movie, i enjoyed it. It looks amazing, the score is fucking great (that bass/cello leading up to every action sequence was cool as fuck), and it stayed true to itself.
