Saw Wonder Woman today, great origin film, and if you like comic movies you love it. Nailed it, IMO.
Plus Gal Gadot.

Will be sure to keep an eye out for this one:
Story about a Kiwi surgeon who helped disfigured airmen and soldiers.

Odd there wasn't really anything there about Gillies. I read somewhere their techniques have made a bit of a comeback in Afghanistan and Iraq because they are cheaper and use less resources.
This is Gillies https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Gillies

Alien: Covenant
Didnt mind it, not great but not disappointing the way Prometheus was.
Maybe it was watching it on the big screen that swayed my opinion of it, but i enjoyed it.
Still had issues, felt rushed, very predictable (thats not always a bad thing)
Overall you get the impression with these prequels that Scott doesnt really seem to have a solid plan to link them up to the original Alien Universe.
Still worth a watch, some great moments and without the completely stupid shit we saw with Prometheus.7 out of 10 (couldnt think what to use here without giving too much away)
I saw it again with the better half. Way better second time round. I'll go as far as to say it's the third best of the franchise.
4 Walters out of 5 Davids.

Fuck Netflix , all I've watched is Roadkill, dirt every day , hot rod garage and some docos and we sit down as a family to choose a movie and this comes up as a 92% match on my feed.
Will probably watch it later but there's a principle here goddammit .

Damn Gal Gadot is fine, so so fine.
Wonder Woman was good, best of the recent DC movies so far.
I had a few issues with it though and felt it dragged in parts. There was some average effects at times and I think the premise would have suited WW2 better than WW1. The Wonder Woman action was pretty good though.
Oh, and Gal Gadot is hot, hot, hot.
@Stockcar86 I will check out that podcast, looks interesting.

New Twin Peaks is gooooood.

38 minutes I lasted on this self-indulgent piece of crap. I managed that much simply because it had Charlize Theron. The script is almost non-existent. The cinematography is appalling. I've seen better direction in Bumfights. If I meet Sean Penn, mine will be the last face he ever sees.

@antipodean I had been looking at that one wondering if I should watch....now I kmow

As sequels go, this was much better than I thought it would be. Perfect timing too, to see how the laments, bitter recriminations and regrets after two decades played out. If you liked the original, definitely see this.
Rating: Four grams of heroin into five faulty veins.

Highlights for me were Renton and Sick Boy doing their musical number and Renton meeting Begbie in the toilet.

@antipodean OMG Alexander was so, so shit. The accents were the worst. Colin Farrell's Irish, Angelina Jolie's fucking Lady Dracula...ugh.

Beauty and the Beast.
Loved it. Brilliant cast, perky musical numbers, sweet story. My only gripe was the actor who was the prince wasn't hot and I wanted him to change back into the Beast. Belle agreed, as per her request for him to grow a beard at the end.
4.5 tales as old as time out of 5 songs as old as rhyme.Table 19
Allegedly a 'Breakfast Club for adults', romcom/drama about a table of misfits at a wedding. In reality, unfunny, unromantic, and a really stupid storyline. Tonally all over the place, one minute you have this weirdo kid walking up to a stranger and telling her he has a big cock, next minute an old lady is toking up the dope because she is dying of cancer. Waste of a cast. Incredibly stupid plot points that will never work in a romance (eg if your portray the 'hero' as a loser douchebag for most of the movie, you can't expect an audience to swoon in delight when the heroine chooses him at the end. As for another plot point of introducing the sweet, hot guy for heroine to dance with/commiserate and chat with snacks/kiss...and then have him be the groom at another wedding? Fuck off.
1 stupid "oh shit, we smashed the wedding cake" gag out of 5 "I'm wearing the same outfit as the waiters LOL" gag.
