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.

yeah I watched it, was decent, rushed ending though.
@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...
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!

You betcha. Now it's back to the fucking bullshit.
New Zealand continues to be awesome. I need a lottery win to really get going on the exploration side tho

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.
3 gold bars out of 5 dead sea birds

@taniwharugby ah yes in terms of accuracy "based on a true story" is right up there with "I won't come in your mouth"
-
@dogmeat not really the same, thats more lying...and if your missus falls for it more than once, thats her fault anyway!
this is more we have 3 guys, they got dropped off on a remote Scottish Island...they were not on the Island when the next crew turned up for thier turn, these are the facts...
movie is based on what 'could' have happened in between drop off and pick up, with no one to tell the tale.

And you thought I complained about other movies not ageing well.
This happens every time one of these floozies starts poontangin' around with those show folk fags.

As mentioned above earlier, Raiders of the Lost Ark is a classic. Nearly 4 decades old and still better then most action/adventure films made since. How many iconic scenes can a movie have?
5 melting Nazi's out of 5 Bad Dates.If you can find a more entertaining punch up than this one I'd love to see it. I love how Indy gets some quality shots in at the end....

Who can blame her? Having met you I can confirm in certain light you'd look identical to JM....
