Doesn't matter how many times I watch it, Ronin is a fucking cracking film
Motherfucker... I've got probably 200 unwatched films downloaded, queued up, and then you go and mention Ronin - and I have to go watch that again.

@mariner4life Marisa Tomei as hot Aunty May.

Out of Bounds (1986)
Film Comment's podcast recommended this 80's action/romance/thriller starring Anthony Michael Hall. It was pretty goofy, but good fun. Some nice action sequences and shots. The "punk" love interest was very cute. Stewart Copeland score. Nice performance from Siouxsie and the Banshees.
6.5/10
There's a decent 720p web-rip on the torrent sites.

Just saw the Trailer for Dunkirk. Looks like a cracking film. Great cast. Also looking forward to Kingsman 2.
Not often you can meld great cast/clever dialogue/excellent action.
Dunkirk is great. Much of the main cast is unknowns although Hardy and the BFG/Bridge of Spies guys are really good. Nolan plays around with the timeline a wee bit and people expecting a pure action film like SPR/BoB will be disappointed.

@taniwharugby That trailer seems to be the anti Christopher Nolan - all CGI/green screen and no location/film.
Gal Gadot is still hotter than an Australian bushfire though so that's a plus.

She's ex-Israeli military so you'd probably get snapped like a twig. But it would be worth it

As with many Nolan movies Dunkirk was filmed in 70 mm IMAX so only Auckland has the only theatre to offer the full viewing experience.

Any excuse to uncork this guy.
She also likes motorcycles and is handy with military grade firearms. I wonder if she practices at the range?

The Magnificent Seven
Remake. Never saw the original because 60s Cowboy movies aren't my thing. But this was on Netflix, and I was bored, so there you go.
Look, it was OK. You've got some solid stuff in there from Denzel Washington, but mostly it was just guns n splosions and a hot red head female lead, with a bit of smart-arsey from Pratt and D'Onofrio's trademark weirdness.
2.5 out of 5 gatling guns.

Just saw Dunkirk. Intense. Really did a great job if capturing some of what happened during the evacuation, my only complaint would be it didn't seem to capture the immense scale of what happened at least visually. I really hope the success of this film leads to more, there are so many untold incredible stories from that time and generation sjw seem to have completely lost the plot with their understanding of history. 9 out of 10.

Suicide Squad
Another Netflix job. I thought it was a lot of fun, actually. If you can leave alone some of the stupidity in the plot, and treat it like a fucking comic book movie that requires bad decisions to get off the deck then your disbelief is suspended, and you're ready to enjoy Margot Robbie in short shorts. Hooray!
(Aside: I was at an expo here in Sydney recently and there is a cosplay model who looks just like Margot Robbie - this is her http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3788297/Cosplay-enthusiast-21-spitting-image-Margot-Robbie-Suicide-Squad-sends-fans-spin.html )
Anyway, lots of blowing-up-and-alien-shit-things-with-end-credits-scene which leads onto Justice League nicely.
