The Founder. Pretty sad story really and Holdo is even more annoying in this. 7 hamburgers out of 10 cheeseburgers.
Yeah. Kept waiting for him to get his comeuppance but he effectively won.
(Excuse my ignorance but who is Holdo?)

This film was pretty goddamn great too. My RT guess was 88%.
Were you drunk? It was dreadful.

Jurrasic Park 3
Much better than the 2nd, but still nowhere near the heights of the first. Sam Neill carried the film. Awesome that the main dinosaur was a Spinosaurus, those things were bad ass.
3.5 fake billionaires out of 5 talking raptors.
Want to rent Jurrasic World but it's only available to buy on Google Movies... grrr why do they do that?

The Foreigner
Stars an old James Bond from Goldeneye (Pierce Brosnan) and Jackie Chan.
Plot is relatively simple; Bond used to be IRA but has gotten old and adopted politics as his chosen profession so he's now deputy First Minister for Ireland. Still has all his terrorist contacts.
Jackie is the quiet unassuming ex-Special Forces soldier (well, the action and fight scenes would otherwise be difficult to believe) who seeks to avenge the death of his daughter from a terrorist bombing.
Despite the formulaic storyline, it's well paced, well shot and Brosnan steals the show with his portrayal of an ageing IRA leader.

Bright
Stars Will Smith as a world weary street smart cop, Joel Edgerton (it astonishes me how he gets gigs) as an Orc from Avatar, and the girl from the Swedish (better) version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
There's a reason this went straight to
the DVD binNetflix. Whoever wrote this crap simply had a movie marathon and stole all the best bits of other movies and still couldn't come up with anything good. Best watched on a wet winters day after you've caught your dick in the zipper. -

I didn’t know there was a Jurassic Park three till my son got into dinosaurs, imho there isn’t a dud in that series. I enjoyed all of them .

Joel Edgerton (it astonishes me how he gets gigs)I really like that actor, especially in Warrior and Animal Kingdom. I'll admit his character kinda sux in this one though.

Apparently it had 11 million viewers on USA Netflix within the first three days of its release and a sequel has already been commissioned.

Fair enough, anything with Dinosaurs eating people is always going to be awesome. Just thought the 2nd was more comical than thrilling, and it's tough to beat the 1st as that has the best story line.

Simply a buddy cop movie in a weird set up. A Lethal Weapon/LOTR mashup.
Watched it once, won't watch again, but it was good light entertainment. -

Agree with you there, probably a good idea to take the second one in a different direction while still retaining the dinosaurs eating people angle. The dog kennel scene was pretty good .

Finally got around to watching John Wick, fuck what a cool fucken movie.
Its like watching your mate playing a first person shooter online and just killing it, popping Ruskies with ease.

Haha yeah, and the parents blaming each other for the kids sleeping problems was relatable.

I also watched The Accountant and tha was fantastic. Thought it would be hopeless but throughly enjoyed it.
There is a Stephen King one out on Sky Box Office soon where it has a Gun Slinger and Matt McCaunaghey (SP) as the baddie. Looks good on preview but has anyone seen it?
