    @mn5 you can console yourself with Naenae bakery.

    As if. I like parking places and knowing my car will still have tyres when I return.

    As if the rest of your car would even be there.

    Avengers - Infinity War

    Pretty cool movie, with all the heroes all over the Universe it woulda been easy to make a complete hash of this, but they didnt, it all tied in and flowed well.

    Not sure why Voldemort was in it though... 😉

    5 funny super heroes out of 6 infinity stones

    Upcoming Laurel and Hardy biopic

    Steve Coogan as Stan Laurel. That works.

    Also John C Reilly put on a bit of weight to play Oliver Hardy

    I'm loathe to ask this but is that Actually Laurel and Hardy or Coogan and Reilly? If the later, it is a remarkable likeness

    Watched Logan Lucky last night. I was very entertained, and actually laughed out loud a few times. Pretty fun little movie.

    It's not without its flaws, but if you want to chuck something on that's light hearted, you could do waaaay worse than this.

    How did they get such a gun cast?

    3.5 redneck stereotypes out of 5 well written Game of Thrones jokes.

    Beirut: Jon Hamm and Rosmund Pike in a movie set in Beirut not long before the Israeli’s rolled in to clean out the PLO in the early 80s. Hamm is a negotiated who is called back to Lebanon after a tragedy there 10 years earlier. He has to negotiate with a Palestinian splinter group to try and retrieve a kidnapped CIA agent. Pretty decent film that takes a shot at everybody involved, the Americans, the Israelis, the Lebanese factions, the Palestinian factions, Arafat etc.

    Mission Impossible: Just a good, well made action film. It’s kind of like a slightly more grounded Fast and the Furious. Good popcorn movie. Henry Cavill's mo was good, much better than his non mo is Justice League.

    A Prayer before dawn

    Based on the true story of a British guy BIlly Moore (played by Joe Cole, one of the Peaky Blinders) who gets put in a brutal Thai Prison, he ends up getting involved in the Prison boxing team.

    Gripping watch, aside from one brutal prison rape scene.

    4 fuck being in that prison out of 5 lady boys

    It's not a real prison movie without a rape scene. Someone even had a go at Clint in Escape from Alcatraz.

    Not new, but a classic. Home sick yesterday, and spent the entire afternoon on the couch watching "JFK".

    Holy shit that movie is brilliant. Amazing cast; great score; and the screenplay is unreal.

    3.5 hours of a conspiracy theory, and it's riveting. The pieces (that would these days be an obnoxious Youtube video) are brilliantly put together. Costner's monologue summation that must be damn near 40 minutes is fucking great.

    If you haven't seen it for a while, watch it again. I got to the end thinking "only 11 years until the official documents get released"

    @mariner4life I watched it just recently. Oliver Stone is a top grade conspiracy theorist. It's a great cast too.

    Also tried to re-watch Any Given Sunday by Stone recently - damn, it is almost unwatchable. I remember it being awesome with cool US football scenes but it's not cool and the football scenes are pretty shit.
