Movie review thread...

Double Impact. Classic JCVD. Cracking film with a pretty damn good sex scene as well.

Saw a bunch of films on the plane
Justice League. Quite good action, Gal is hawt, some different characters which was good. Ben's attempts at humour were OK but Cavill's part and the dialogue in general are not as good as the marvel films. 3.5 resurrected Supermen out of 5 Wonder woman's lassos
The world's greatest showman. I enjoyed the film, had a Moulin Rouge type feel to it, good story (however it was embellished from the real thing). 4.5 bearded ladies out of 5 top hats
Jumanji. A bit of light fun, I liked the video game avatar spin on the old version. The kickass girl was hawt, Jack Black was hilarious and Kevin Hart wasn't too irritating. 4 donated ataris out of 5 jaguar eyes
The Wonder. Nicely written zero blood count feel good film. I liked the way they filled out each character's story away from their connection to Auggie, and the path to success of Auggie was just bumpy enough to make the ride satisfying with all parties pretty happy in the end. 4 space helmets out of 5 camera obscuras

Arrow has released Sleeping Dogs on blu-ray.

Watched Jumanji (v2) last night. Pleased I did, good plot and well acted from a well suited cast.
Even managed to convince the wife to watch it by reference to the cast. Otherwise she wouldn't have bothered.

@tim CK Stead was one of my lecturers when Sleeping Dogs came out. Given its profile at the time and the fact it effectively resuscitated the NZ film industry it was quite cool to chat about it with the author of the source material. Not sure if I've ever seen it a second time

Super Troopers
Lasted 15 minutes. What a pile of shit. Like ... there is bad, and then there is just not even trying to be good at being bad.
-15 minutes of my life wasted...
10 disappointed Aussies out of 1 steaming pile of shite.

I have seen it a few times (when it popped up on tele) and the story stands up well even if the film itself is a touch dated. A sympathetic remake could be quite good although it would draw comparisons to Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Overseas audiences would think all we do in NZ is hide in the bush.

Wait until someone decides to make a new movie out of a Barry Crump novel....

Or John Mulgan's 'Man Alone'.
Interesting recent article about someone re-tracing the route the main character takes in that book (from Raetihi across to the Kaimanawas and South)

@nta no moustache rides for you then...
That movie either works for you or it doesn't. There is no middle ground. But I liked it.

Same here. Cry laughing every time I see it

I figured that. Like Will Ferrell films - not many people on the fence there

I couldn't be any more triggered.
Challenge accepted:
Will Ferrell is a comic genius. Even the worst ten minutes of Anchorman 2 is better than this Broken Lizard shit.
Was it some other bloke who came to stay and have a few beers with me last year? He actually had a good sense of humour.....

Try watching Everything Must Go. Will Ferrell movie that is... not a comedy.
