Movie review thread...

@tim He is from Boston isn't he? So isn't that just his normal accent?

[Tim]

@mooshld Nope! He doesn't normally speak like a borderline retarded member of the underclass who is exaggerating it.

It's a pretty good movie. Good pacing and probably a really good script. Some pedestrian choices from the director.

[Tim]

Michelle Monaghan is fucking lovely.

Daddy's Home 2

Good cast.

Amusing, cringe worthy, silly but I liked it.

I loved Sicario so hopefully this is good too. A pity Denis Villeneuve is not the director again.

Flight ...

I enjoyed it immensely, Denzel was superb. Interesting reading up apparently pilots have absolutely panned it, but I think that's missing the point

Jumanji - cool movie.

thought they got the casting pretty good, Johnson & Hart work well together, Black was very good as a teenage girl and the other chick is tidy.

I see another movie is already in the pipelines.

12 Strong - movie about special forces in the opening days of the Afghan War (after 911). Like a lot of their Iraq/Afghanistan movies it would be a good action movie if a non US editor was allowed to have a cut before it is released to non US theatres. Some good action, but way too much cheesy build up.

@tim BTW, that's a scene from a documentary.

Three Miles North of Molkom (2008) ⭐ 6.4 | Documentary

1h 47m | Not Rated

I still find it hard to believe that it isn't a spoof.

@tim I actually laughed out loud at work. She got smashed. "Ok, ready to join us in the circle?" as she lays in pain. Hilarious.

Just watched Thor. Was anticipating the sequel to Frozen. Sad.

[Paekakboyz]

Watched Thor yesterday - pretty bloody good, but not sure if was quite up to the hype it received. Loved the humour and characters - the Banner/Hulk banter was choice as. Amazing effects and I liked how they handled the powering up situation - I mean I don't have a chart but how the fuck do you work out who is actually stronger than who?? Last thing we need is a Dragon Ball Z scenario where people spend 2/3rds of the fight powering up to new levels of kick ass (note: will always have love for Goku)

Watched the Kill Bills over the weekend. The 2nd shits all over the first basically cos I left my brain on the pillow the moment Uma slaughtered a small army of sword wielding gooks without a scratch ( at least the violence in all his other movies is pretty realistic ). Despite that a very cool performance from her and David Carradine and Michael Madsen ( I always love his work, his best QT performance by far ) in the second......

So after seeing that my revised Tarantino rankings are as follows.....

Pulp Fiction
Inglorious Basterds
Jackie Brown
Reservoir Dogs
Kill Bill vol 2
Django unchained
H8ful 8
Kill Bill vol 1
Death Proof

[Bovidae]

I need to watch both Kill Bills again.

I put True Romance in my top 3. OK, Tarantino didn't direct it (Tony Scott did) but he was the writer.

The Dennis Hopper-Christopher Walken scene is brilliant.

Great flick but I haven't seen it in years and not sure it truly counts to be honest.

I am watching Annihilation (good books it was adapted from), and after three minutes it has already said something very annoying while trying to be smart.

Fucking Netflix will only play at low bitrate 480p now. I am being tortured for posting a bitchy comment about one of their properties.
