@nepia have you seen this? It’s actually grosser than anything the Farelly brothers ever did. Also there’s a lot of male nudity and castration.
The most unlikeable movie I have ever attempted to watch. Terrible overacting, overdosed on grossness.
Not a single redeeming quality.
0 used condoms out of 5 screamed linesHad its moments for me.
Watched The Clapper. Bittersweet comedy. Low key. Enjoyed it.

Ready Player One: I enjoyed it as a movie and as a spectacle.
I'm a fan of the book and lots was left out and changed which tempered my enjoyment, so a warning to any book fans out there. Best to think of them as two separate entities.
My mate who hadn't read the book loved it. Lots of pop culture/80s references, some decent 'virtual action' and a decent cast.

I watched this Netflix Iraq war movie called Sand Castle - about a an airborne squad tasked with delivering water. It got panned by critics but I thought it was actually blood good and quite interesting. Superman was in it and he's a decent screen presence when Hack Snyder isn't directing him.
I wonder if critics are unduly harsh on Netflix produced films because they equate them with Direct to video?
Agree. Accidentally started watching this thinking it was that much hyped Brad Pitt war film. Just kept on watching and really enjoyed it. Not sure why it was panned by critics. The acting, subject matter etc were all sound.

This was another one that the critics hammered I enjoyed, the way they showed the decline of the main characters mental state and the effect of the stop/loss system the yanks bought in affected him were well done. The subject matter isn't pleasant which might be part of the reason it was panned.

I liked the Brad Pitt one too, different type of movie though.
I also saw Siege at Jadotville which was good, basically Netflix just sends me all the war stuff now. -
@jegga watched The Beast of War the other night, pretty decent flick, amusingly though, Russian flick about the Afghan war, made by Americans...

Yeah interesting that they chose to make it .
I was watching a bit of Lone survivor the other and then I remembered what a fluffybunny Luttrell was to the guy that saved his life and I lost interest -

Nope, well not on mine . It’s about that Korean guy that was drafted into the Japanese army , captured by the Russians , drafted by them , captured by the Germans , drafted by them and finally taken prisoner by the tanks on D-day . The bits on YouTube look fairly epic.

That's a crazy story - I'll check Netflix tonight, always lots of Asian stuff arriving on Oz Netflix.

I can remember watching that on video in the actual 80s - how does it hold up?
