Ghost In The Shell
I thought this was a pretty good homage to the anime movie of 1995, tho of course the storylines diverge in significant ways.
Parts of the visual and score are pure manga/anime mashups, and overall I thought it was really well done.

Anyone seen the Bird Box? Didn't love it but it was the first movie in I don't know how long that gave me a nightmare that same night.
Obviously being set up for a Netflix series?
I really enjoyed it. Lots of 'edge of your seat' moment.

I hear ya and I didn't hate it, I'm just not a fan of those types of movies. True-love is the one that gets into them

@Hooroo Dont watch the Haunting of Hill House on Netflix then bro, that'll def have you up at night

No chance of me watching that purely because of the title.
Bird Box suckered me in... I thought it was a metaphor...

Ya see, I didn't get these memes as to why Sandra Bullock was super imposed into them.
Now I do -
Marry Poppins Returns
It pissed rain one day in Dunedin - only time we got real rain the whole trip - and so we headed into the local Reading for a movie. Plus we were still running on Australian time so 9PM start was no biggie.
Have to say it stands up pretty well for those that like the original and are a fan of musicals (which excludes a lot of people here). Well written, both the story and the music / score. Blunt is hot and plays the part well. Lin-Manuel Miranda does a bloody good job also (no surprise - he's a fucking genius).
Overall I really liked it, having been fairly cynical going in.

Aquaman
Let's get straight to it: Mrs TA really liked this film
because of fucking course she did! When he said "Permission to come aboard" I looked at her, and I think most women went this way but for realsies:
However, she did claim that there was not nearly enough shirtless action. I was going to agree verbally when it came to Amber Heard, but thought better of it.
I thought the film was good - particularly casting and getting the balance of humour and action right - but they reached for the spectacular a little too often and I couldn't take it all in.
Definitely the best DCEU movie so far, and a large part of it was no doubt due to an Aussie director and Aussie crews and Aussie locations....

*Did I take advantage of Momoa warming up the wife back at the motel later? You fucking bet I did.

It was stressful as fuck. The kind of movie you regret watching halfway through but then have to finish it to see what the fuck happens in the end.

The end kind of sucked for me. Yeah cool, they were saved but no detail on what was smoking them and also how they could 'kill' it

I'm actually really sorry about that. I wasn't thinking about I was giving the end away, more that I was having a conversation about it.
I will try and remember to Spoiler it next time.
My Bad!

The Vanishing - Gerard Butler.
One of those 'based on true events' movies...where the true part all but ceases about 15mins into a 90 min movie, rest if just fiction on speculation about what could have happened (Perfect Storm, Open Water)
If I try to remove that part, it was a decent watch, slow burner.
