    @MN5 Stuck in the MIddle was probably Steelers Wheels peak too!

    Tarantino has the Midas touch with music huh? His first three soundtracks were staples on every roadie I ever had in the late 90s.

    I Am Wrath

    John Travolta plays Liam Neeson as Brian Mills impersonating an old Vincent Vega. Retired spy whose home life gets fucked up by pieces of shit gangsters. Corrupt cops do exactly jackson, so JT uses his very particular set of skills developed over a long career to track down said gangsters and extract revenge.

    Detective Stabler has been fired from the SVU and now freelances, comes out of retirement also to help his old partner. Together they effortlessly track down everyone they need to, and beat the ever loving piss out of them, because drug dealing gangsters ain't shit. They can't even target a family properly.

    When will these gangsters learn that hell hath no fury like a retired black ops operative whose family you have fucked with?

    2.5 overly identifiable tattoos out of 5 old man ass whoppings

    It's not terrible, just very very formulaic, and poorly written.

    That's pretty generous M4L. It's a massive stretch taking JT seriously with his ridiculous hair, strangely immovable face and Dad bod to beat all Dad bods.

    look, that's entirely fair, but i thought a pass was warranted as i didn't hate it, and didn't consider it a waste of time. It's a movie for when you are hungover i reckon.

    So, Sausage Party. For those who saw it, what did you think?

    I'm not going to lie, foul mouthed vegetables and personal hygiene products made me laugh more than once.

    But, while it probably seemed like a great idea when they came up with it baked off their ass, putting together a feature-length movie took a lot more work, and there was a heap of filler. It honestly seemed like they were wasted while making it, not just during the writing. Some funny social commentary, and pretty funny moments, but some of the jokes ran too long.

    Again, a pass, 2.5 fucking jokes out of 5 middle east problems solved (hint: it's fucking)

    @mariner4life I gave up on it, wanted to like it, but wasnt even silly enough to be funny, and i like stupid sex inuendos as much as anyone.

    Took the kids to see the Batman Lego movie, some pretty funny shit in it, lost a bit of steam in the middle and toward the end, but otherwise decent flick!

    3.5 lego superheroes 5 dastardly villains

    @mariner4life I thought it was hilarious, our theatre was packed and everyone was cracking up, so that certainly helps. 3 produce aisles out of 5 orgies.

    I'm not a fan of Rogan and was very skeptical but I liked it and thought there were enough gags to sustain a full movie. The scenes towards the end were absolutely hilarious

    One film I thought looked good but quickly went to poo was Central Intelligence. Stopped watching after about 40 minutes.

    Saw Antman last night. That was pretty good.

    I think it's bloody hard for a comedy to be funny for an entire 2 hours. Loads have a few good gags in between bits that drag.

    Aside from all time classics like Super Troopers, Top Secret, Flying High, Beverley Hills Cop etc.

    @Tim that's true, someone mentioned earlier that watched it more recently and it occurred to them how selfish Bodhi actually was. I agree with that after realising my son hadn't seen that cinematic masterpiece and watched it with him last year.
