@Hooroo @Virgil you guys know John Wick 2 came out last year right?
Yup mate that’s next on the viewing list
Considering how long it took me to see John Wick it should only be 2021 when I see chapter 2 -

Bladerunner 2049
I liked the original, not as big of a fan as some on here I expect.
But I quite liked the reboot, aside from being about 30mins too long, moved along at a steady pace, not the rapid break neck speed that some movies like to drag you along at, but also always something going on.
Ana de Armas and Sylvia Hoeks are both nice to look at

The Florida Project.
Holy shit, this is not the feel good movie of 2018. Basically a look inside the lives of Ferals living in a seedy motel near Disneyland, most of the cast apart from Willem Dafoe are no names but there’s some incredible acting performances in it.

@virgil 3 should be out by then.
Ha caught John Wick : Chapter 2 earlier than planned.. last night
Great watch, up there with the first chapter. Enjoyed how it went deeper into the world Wick had tried unsuccessfully to escape.
Great to see his new dog made it through this one, though the Mustang wasnt as lucky..4.5 dead wops out of 5 dead angry aussie lesbo MTV stars.

4 jack black as a teenage girls out of 5 awkward Rock pashes
Agree. The Doctor Who chick is also tidy as fuck.
The opening teenage glib dialogue was shitting me a little. Once the adult actors came in it started to rock.

The Bad Batch, Suki Waterhouse, Keanu Reeves, Jason Momoa, Giovanni Ribisi
Suki Waterhouse is tidy, but even then...dont bother unless you have 2 hours spare to donate to the time goblins

Bright - saw review above, so went in with low expectations, I thought it was ok, bit silly and a bit OTT in places, but was a better watch than the above movie

El Camino Christmas

Also stars Tim Allen, Red from that 70s show, Jessica Alba Along with a couple other recognisable faces.

So true, caught this movie on Sky thought it was tedious apart from the car chase. Easy rider is another one with cult status I watched and still don’t see what the fuss was about.
Reminder: Bullitt Wasn't A Great Movie - Jalopnik
I, like many of you out there I am sure, once thought to myself, “Hey, I’ve seen the chase scene from Bullitt about 900 times. I should watch the whole movie. It’s probably good.” No. It’s not. Run while you still have a chance.

I'd have to put Deer Hunter in a similar bracket. Some incredibly powerful scenes but parts of it dragged on like no one's business.

Watched a movie called "Miss Sloan" on the weekend. Jessica Chastain is a high profile lobbyist working for a prestigious firm who quits to work for a firm trying to get a gun control bill passed.
Film is essentially a story about the US political system, and what parts of yourself you need to give up to succeed in it.
I thought it was fucking great, so was surprised to see such a low IMDB score. Then you read the reviews, and there are an awful lot of one-star reviews from people who just thought it was anti-gun, or anti-old white guys, and voted/reviewed just to call it bullshit. Thumbs up dickheads.
