Saw Kong in the weekend, the story is as cheesy as you'd expect , the special effects are incredible . Brie Larson is hot as hell but I'm a bit lost over the fuss about Hiddleston , I think he's pretty wooden in everything I've seen him in.
4 Larsons in a tight singlet out of 5
Yeah I saw it over the weekend too. Gotta say Peter Jackson's effort was better overall but Brie Larson was extremely hot and John C Reilly steals the show with some terrific lines.
Kong was fucken big wasn't he?

I enjoyed Kong, good B action movie that does all that's required of it. Haven't seen the Peter Jackson one and wasn't going to see this one until I turned up early to a movie and saw the trailer for this (more importantly saw Brie Larson in the trailer for this).

Anyone else seen Blood Father? The plot might not have been novel but these are the types of movies Mel Gibson excels in as an actor. Mad Max meets Hispanic drug dealers.
The other movie I watched recently was The Accountant. I'm not usually a big fan of Ben Affleck the actor but I really enjoyed this and the twist on savants/autistic people.
4 Solomon Grundys out of 5 Lewis Carrolls

Finally got around to watching The Wrath of Khan again. Brilliant still
Critics said Ricardo Montalban couldn't possibly reach the giddy heights of thespian brilliance he did with 'Fantasy Island'......
....and he didn't.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople was a really nice little movie wasn't it? I loved it, and so did the wife even though she didn't get a bunch of it

Yeah watched that with the family a couple of weeks ago and they loved it. Little pearler of a film.
Just watched The Good Guys with Crowe and Gosling. Pretty damn good.

"Spotlight"
How do you "enjoy" a movie about that?
5 investigative journalists out of 5 deviant Catholic priests, fucking arseholes.

OK, finally watched Rogue One and I'm pleased I waited. I felt no sense of suspense or wonderment. Just seemed all samey. Best bit was Darth fucking people up, but then that's always the best bit.

I watched Rogue 1, I'd give it 3.5 Dumb Storm Troopers out of 5 Fish Admirals
Thought the blind Ninja Jedi did well knocking all those helmeted Storm Troopers out with one blow too, mean as!

I discovered my better half had never seen The Matrix which is outrageous as IMO it's the most important documentary ever made.
Still holds up bloody well, Keanu Reeves was the fucking man back then. 5 red pills out of 5 AI agents.

@No-Quarter Best. Movie. Ever.

Absolutely agree, absolutely cracker of a movie, just don't watch parts 2 and 3 to ruin the experience.
BTW, I disagree with the statement that Keanu was the fucking man back then which implies he is no longer of relevance.
One of my absolute favorite recent movies was "John Wick" which has been followed up by a sequel unsurprisingly titled "John Wick 2" which has yet to be released in Aus and I'm not sure about NZ.
After the first John Wick movie, Keanu "star" has been on the rise again including the recent announcement of another Matrix Sequal.
BTW, as I didn't do a John Wick review here, I will say to anyone, do yourself a favour and watch this. It was a sleeper hit and turned into a movie with a massive cult following hence the anticipation for JW2.
4.75 former assassins out of 5 russian mobsters
The only thing that stopped me from giving it a 5 out of 5 was the final car chase/big fight which was a bit stupid and little disappointing, but only a little.One of the funny things about the first John Wick movie was one of the main bad guys is none other than Game of Thrones Theon Greyjoy. His character is a real dick in this movie so quite fitting that his character had his removed in GoT!
Just did a quick Google search and finally... John Wick: Chapter 2 will be released in Australia (and New Zealand) on April 20th.
