@taniwharugby Yeah I watched that the other night. The visuals were pretty good and all but it didn't really hit the spot for me. Maybe too many characters vying for your emotions but not enough depth to any of them? I would drop half a Wakandan sunset off your score.

Watched Hounds of Love (2016) recently.
Not an original plot - teenage girl gets abducted by a serial-killer couple and tries to survive - bit weak on plot in some parts but really well acted and written. Intelligent and anything but torture-porn
Unsetling to watch as the couple doing the abduction are portrayed as normal and elicit some sympathy while the disturbing parts can be quite visceral, they are left very much to your imagination a la Hitchcock.
Not spectacular but way better than most of this genre.

Took the boy to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom on IMAX in 3D.
Asked him what he thought of the movie afterwards and his response was: "that was absolutely AWESOME!!!".
Have to agree, but when it comes to Dinosaur movies I'm pretty easy to please. The Indoraptor was pretty badass, and we are all set for plenty of carnage in the next movie - bring it on!
Note for parents: overall not too scary, just some moderately intense/thriller type scenes later on in the dark with the Indoraptor. My boy is 5 and was fine, but he's a bit of a bit of a nut when it comes to Dinosaurs, I think he roots for the Dinosaur a lot of the time.
4.5 dead billionaires out of 5 epic Raptor battles.

I'm with your son there. The amount of times I want the 'heroes' to die a gruesome death only to be saved at the last minute infuriates me sometimes.

Cruising "My List" on Netflix for shit I hadn't watched yet.
Bloody good movie. Who knew Shia LeBouf could act?
Only thing I would have changed: mount that 50 cal in a crossfire and fuck up that SS column.
4.5 tactical errors out of 5 murdered krauts.

Still going on the Netflix list with the second Brad Pitt movie.
I though his portrayal of an aging general was great, and how happy was Meg Tilly to play his wife?
Points you in some good direction as to the politics and pointlessness of that particular conflict, as well as giving some insight on the absolute certainty that the US military engenders in itself at the top levels, while the ground pounders have to make the really tough decisions.
4 star general out of 5.

Eminently watchable. A few things that always make you say "BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR FREAKING TECHNOLOGY!" and whatnot, but the family and I thought it was great.
4 dead giant space creatures out of 5 gravity wells.

It seems over the top until you look up what Audie Murphy did , if anything they toned it down .
“ best job I ever had” genius.
