Captain America Civil War.

Am absolutely no fan of these films, but really enjoyed this one. I thought the kid playing Spiderman was excellent and Ant Man/PR was really good. Oh yeah, and the black flying dude was great too.

I tell you what though, they can fark Black Widow and Hawke Eye right off. Those 2 suck balls. Firing arrows - awesome skill when there are guys that fire lasers. They bitch about BW not getting her own film. Well its not about misogyny, it's because she's crap. She has neither superpowers nor a cool suit that does amazing stuff.

Anyway, despite those 2 impostors I really enjoyed the film. Unfortunately the delightful person but utterly shit actor Hemsworth appears to be in the next installment so I'll probably give it a miss.

Yeah she's shit alright

If you want to watch a film just for her then watch that one when she plays that alien who strips. The point is that Black Widow and Robin Hood Boy are crap.

alien who strips

Please name that movie so that I might check out the artistic value of her role in that movie and compare it to her work in the Avengers movies... all in the name of art of course.

Yes, of course, the name of art...

Hilariously enough, I had to Google the title because I'd forgotten what it was called. It is Under the Skin.

I can't comment much the movie itself. I'm not ashamed to say I just pretty much just fast-forward to the, eh, parts that had the most artistic merit.

Once more just for you Virgil.

@Rancid-Schnitzel awesome, just looked it up on IMDB...synopsis:
A mysterious young woman seduces lonely men in the evening hours in Scotland. However, events lead her to begin a process of self-discovery.

Under the cast list we have actors names with who they played in the film:
Scarlett Johansson...
The Female
Jeremy McWilliams ...
The Bad Man
Lynsey Taylor Mackay...
The Dead Woman
Dougie McConnell ...
Pick-Up Man

you get the picture....

[Bovidae]

It's a very strange movie.

I'm sure the mirror scene is on You tube.

There was also some dude with the elephant man disease.

In other words, a load of bizarre, arty bollocks saved only by the delightful Ms Johanssen stripping.

Uhmm... Of course I only ask in terms of the artistic merit of the film, but just how much did she strip and reveal?

A perfectly legitimate and non-perv related question.

I don't recall the scene too well, as I was more engrossed in the other aspects of this masterpiece, but if memory serves me correctly she appears bare-arse farking naked in front of a mirror.

I saw Fences the other day. I thought the story and acting were excellent but it very much appeared like a play which had been turned into a film. I don't think it worked very well as a piece of cinema. Story and acting are important though so 3.5 stars from me

Self/less

I really liked this. As someone else said: probably the best acting performance of Ryan Reynolds's career (outside Deadpool).

A tale of the struggle with mortality, and the consequences it can have, is pretty interesting in a society where science promises to conquer aging and decay. But like in this case, maybe only for the wealthy!

4 out of 5 flamethrowers.

Noted in the end credits:

Automata

Looked interesting - I'm a bit of a sucker for dystopia movies. Pace was a little slow, and Banderas obviously got pussy-whipped into putting then-wife Meg Ryan Melanie Griffiths into it. Probably why they're split up, as trying to make her old plastic head sound like a robotics engineer was always going to fail.

Anyway, I thought it could have used a bit more zing, but it was quite well shot and scored. Very interesting concepts around AI and whatnot.

Antonio was married to Melanie Griffiths

[Bovidae]

@canefan With plastic surgery it's an easy mistake to confuse the two nowadays.

[taniwharugby]

@Bovidae Meg Ryan used to be hawt...Griffiths wasnt!

[Tim]

@taniwharugby She was when she played a pornstar in Body Double.

[taniwharugby]

@Tim dont think I've ever watched that...

Could be worth seeking out
