Ghost in the Shell. Let's start with the good bits. Scarlett Johannsen in a shoot 'em up with lots of violence and what looked like nudity. OK, on to the bad bits. There is no nudity. The plot is as thin as Featherlite, all the budget was spunked on paying SJ and making the action sequences look as realistic as a synchronised swimming event. Oh and the storyline was all over the place. This really ought to be a straight to DVD turkey. Avoid.
1 unrealised leer at SJ out of 5 why the fucks did I pay to see this shit.

Yep - watched that myself last night... I thought the most impressive accomplishment in the entire movie was making SJ unattractive. And fuck them for that.
Any movie where the climax setpiece involves "deploy the SpiderTank" - fuck, what am I doing with my life? -
Saw wonder woman. Thought it was exactly as dumb as Gal Gardot was incredibly hot. Big CGI fest with a feel good totally unrealistic diverse united nations of cultures fighting the Germans. Maybe I just hate movies minimising such a serious historical period. 2 powerful thighs outta 5 pointlessly stupid movie scenes.

So....half way thru Dunkirk. That's right, they still do intermission in Switzerland...
So far so enjoyable. Love me a good war film.

Intermission in film. What to do?
Option 1. Log on to TSF and give half baked opinion.
Option 2. Grab a quick beer.Fail.

Option 3: quick shag in the dunnies
Maybe the wrong film for that?
-
Nah have a headache which I'm prone to. Plus the price of beer in Switzerland...
But you sort of have a point.
It's a good film anyways glad I made the effort to actually seee it in the theatre.

The 100 year old man who climbed out of his window and disappeared.
Terrific story about this geezers adventure after escaping a retirement home with flashbacks to his extraordinary life. Kind of reminds me a little like a dark comedy swedish Forrest Gump.
8 shots of hard liquor (not a kids drink) outta 10 explosions

Haven't read that yet, but did read another book written by the same guy:
Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All. Rather good. -
Night Moves has been released on blu-ray with a good transfer.

Goon was a lot of fun. I have soft spots for Seann William Scott and Michael Dowse (FUBAR is one of my favourite movies), and they delivered.
The movie was almost ruined early on by Jay Baruchel's shitty side-kick character. Also, the credits music was genuinely terrible. On the other hand, great to see a soundtrack credit for Night Seeker.
