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.

I was dragged reluctantly to see the new “Paddington 2” movie. Holy crap, it’s a movie about an escape from a high security prison. Very inventive. I loved it. 8/10

Yeah, I haven't heard anything bad about Paddington 2 - plus the first one was quite good, even with Nicole Kidman.

This ones got Hugh Grant instead . Really liked the first one.

Apparently he's brilliant in it. I don't dislike him with a passion like Kidman.
-
I haven’t seen the first one, had no interest, but I want to see it now. Hugh Grant was very good playing the role of villain/heel. Funnily enough, when I watched there were way more adults in the cinema than kids.
-
Hugh Grant is up there with Sarah-Jessica Parker for me as actors films I avoid purely cos they are in them!
-
Hugh works well in the role because he is so unlikeable. Perfect casting. He plays a vain, ruthless, narcissistic actor. Good to see Noah “The Nostradamus KId” Taylor getting a paycheck, too.

Finished all the Jurassic movies with the boy, watching Jurassic World in the weekend.
I only saw it at the movies and not again since, but holy crap that's a fun movie. The boy was jumping up and down cheering when the raptor and the T-Rex were fighting the Indominus Rex at the end. All round awesomeness, can't wait for the next installment.
-
@no-quarter ha, we watched that on the weekend too, and I had family over from the UK and their 7 year old son was exactly the same, leaping about cheering and the like for that.
Also don't mind Bryce Dallas-Howard either.

Train to Busan , Korean horror film about trying to escape a zombie apocalypse on a train . Enjoyable enough way to spend 90 minutes or so , three Korean baseball players weilding their bats out of five.
Sounds fucken awesome!
-
-
yeah I thought Train to Busan was good too, slightly different zombies to change things up too.

Train to Busan
I watched that last year - a good movie.There were characters you liked and others you despised.
Yeah and some great suspense scenes too. There’s another Korean movie called my way I want to see but I can’t find a way yet.
-
I think they're making an English language version, which will have some people complaining they'll ruin it - but Korean movies like this one are so over the top melodramatic that I don't see how they could ruin it. They'll just make a different movie.
Great movie, the (relatively) big dude was awesome.

The big dude and his mrs were my favourite characters too, I thought he’d bust out some sort of martial art but no he was into good old fashioned roundhouse punches.
