Went in uninformed on purpose
Great pacing, lots of jumps, good acting
Interesting storyline but with an unexplained premise
3 blunt force traumas out of 5 skilled precision
The chick with the two minute noodles for hair from Ozark is a massive red flag for me, is she at least tolerable ?
She's very good
Very much an ensemble cast
For me, she's good in everything. But I guess we all like/dislike different actors.
Helps that I first saw her in The Americans which is one of my all time favourite shows.

Eden
Jude Law, Ana De Armas, Sydney Sweeney, Daniel Bruehl
Based on the true story of Dr. Friedrich Ritter and Dore Strauch flee Germany in 1929 to live on one of the Galapogas Islands.
As he documents his life there, another couple go there to live as well and soon after, a wannabe socialite who plans to build a lavish resort there.
Decent enough story, havent looked into how close to the actual events it was, doesnt really get going and moves along at a sedentary pace.

I just recently listened to a podcast about this (I think it was Behind the Bastards, but could have been a history one. Is Ana De Armas or Sydney Sweeny playing Dore? Either way, they're both far more attractive than the mental image of her that I have in my head.
-
@Nepia ha, neither play her, Vanessa Kirby plays Dore.
Sweeny is made to look very plain in this as the wife of Bruehl, while Ana is the socialite, who despite her surroundings tries to keep up the look.

Haha, no one seems how I imagined them.

Those two on an island sounds like fun

Finally saw The Legend of Baron To'a.
Sub-par cinematography, ropey dialogue, C-grade plot innovation, outrageous fortune star disguised her blonde locks to look more Polynesian, the set barely left the street, one of the meanest was an ex-playschool presenter, totally predictable ending.Loved it.

Forget the story, does the delightful Ms Sweeney get them out???

@Rancid-Schnitzel weeeelll, yes, but only in an awkward breastfeeding moment to embarrass the visiting Chilean officials.

Demolition Man
- I'd always assumed I'd seen this, but... maybe not? Or maybe alcohol-senility?
- So dumb.
- So fun.
- The entire on-set menu was obviously ham and egg for breakfast, ham sandwiches for lunch, hawaiian pizza (heavy on the ham) for dinner.
- Several "break-the-4th-wall" moments - the whole Schwarzenegger bit - I'm certain Bullock's laugh was genuine. The reference to Rambo - clumsy, but sure, why not. Leary's monologue which was pretty much the song "Asshole"... royalty problems preventing them just doing verbatim quotes from the song?
- Most importantly - a positive tit-watch. Just... shoe-horned in there for no reason. Boom... titties.

Wesley Snipes was absolutely outstanding in that flick

Yeah but do you know how the three seashells work

I got the impression there is pressure for Snipes to do another Blade movie. I gotta say he was in pretty good condition in the Deadpool cameo.
Wesley Snipes Reveals His Blade Return Came Together With "A Call From Ryan Reynolds Out Of The Blue After 20 Years"
Wesley Snipes never gave up on Blade.
