    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.

    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.

    yeah I thought Train to Busan was good too, slightly different zombies to change things up too.

    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.

    It's really racist to assume that jegga. I'm offended on behalf of all Asians.

    I'm offended by your post on behalf of every one else in the world who has a martial art (Maori included - Mau rakau).
