Movie review thread...

Justice League - an enjoyable enough watch. Hack Snyder really is a poor film maker but this movie was watchable, a lot because of Gal Gadot, a lot because it was a decent length (not overlong), and because the characters in the Justice League actually turned out to be interesting. Although, after reading Kirwan's review I think everything I liked out about it was stuff he didn't like.
I actually thought some of the effects, especially at the start were pretty bad and lacked realism, something that most effects companies are able to do these days - so I assume it wasn't the stuff Weta worked on.
Once Snyder is out of the way the DC cinematic universe might actually start humming.

I hope that Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets lives up to the trailer
Seemed a bit of a mishmash of Avatar, Gardians of the Galaxy and a bunch of other sci-fi films.

Justice League
Finally, a DC film that was a hoot to watch. Sure, the SF on the bad guy weren't much chop, and it was a fairly predictable, unthreatening scenario for our heroes (when two of the five are effectively gods), but this was as good as a lot of the Marvel gear IMHO.
I thought the levity was actually a plus. Barry Allen made that movie for me with his totally awkward shit and wide-eyed innocence. And of course, I was watching Gal Gadot thigh's just as closely as Mrs TA was watching those shirtless freakozoids. She is stunning.

Late to the party but another big thumbs up for Thor. I went into it in a shitty mood but it soon turned me, lots of laugh out loud moments some where I was clearly the only kiwi in the theatre as I was the only one chortling. You'd have to say Waititi has made it big now

Tupac Shakur's cinematic debut. "It's like a cross between Goonies and Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

@tim wind river was decent enough I thought. Nothing special though.
Agreed. Worth a watch.
@Tim Although I don't love on Hell or Highwater and Sicario, I think they're both decent films but a bit overhyped. But, if those are your type of films it has elements of both.

American Made - Tom Cruise as Barry Seal, a former commercial airline pilot who starts running guns for the CIA and then drugs for Pablo...apparently based on a true story, however Uncle Google reckons it has been embellished somewhat, although where the CIA is involved, who knows.
Decent enough watch.
3 lucky escapes out of 5 hidden caches of loot
American Assassin (sheer coincidence I watched these over the weekend) MIchael Keaton and a couple of other younger guys that have been in movies recently.
Again, one of your typical sit back, turn off brain kind of action films, a young lass by the name of Shiva Negar is pretty tidy!

Seems our thoughts are aligned.

I'll watch this through the week instead of doing uni work... Looks promising.

Watched a cpl of movies last weekend whilst the ball n chain was away.
Hacksaw Ridge ... a movie of 2 halves. First half is the lead in and character intro - a little slow but required. Second - FULL ON war action. Seriously. Hardcore. Absolutely amazing filmography and story.
5 guys saved out of 5 Vince Vaughn's in a serious role.
Eye In The Sky ... I enjoyed this film - appealed to my problem solving side. Quite a strong cast and good story line. Reminded me of margin call in the way it's all about a 12 hour shift (also a fave movie of mine).
