Atomic Blonde
Let's get this out of the way: Charlize Theron going dom lesbo on that French chick was awesome. For that alone it was worth watching on Netflix.
Otherwise pretty entertaining. Fucking brutal h2h combat scenes, some cold war intrigue, and a throwback soundtrack used judiciously against some nice cinematography - tho the rotating camera thing got a bit old after the first time they used it.
Twistys and turns and grey areas of engagement, betrayal, and a psychotic James McAvoy. What's not to like?
4 out of 5 stoli on ice

It’s the Bond thread again
.My 2 cents:
Bourne. 3 excellent Matt Damon Bourne’s and 1 average one. 1 weird side sequel.Daniel Craig Bond. 1 excellent opening movie, 1 terrible follow up, 2 average as fudge follow ups and hopefully an awesome final movie.
Bourne for the win.

Would you really call Quantum of Solace terrible ?
Admittedly cutting off a countries water supply is pretty unambitious compared to many of the earlier villains and the lead bad guy/henchman combo were about as interesting as watching paint dry but I thought it was a pretty decent actioner.....

@MN5 Yes.
I’d rather watch you and @Bones work out your issues naked mud wrestling than watch that movie again.
Have you read his "fitness blog" ? I think he's got a weight advantage over me at the moment.

At least it would be mercifully over quickly, unlike Quantum of Solace.

@Nepia based on his Facebook activity I'm expecting a much less grumpy @MN5 now.
As long as there's no kiddies playground equipment in the ring I'll be sweeeet.
Can you not tell people we're friends on FB ?
It ruins the illusion....thanks mate.

@Tim said in Re: Movie review thread...:
The Daniel Craig bonds are boring garbage. He has zero charisma, style, or comedic timing. A 3rd rate Bourne super-soldier knock-off.
Now for something that isn't just gay:
I'm putting you and the seven ferners who liked this post on ignore. I won't stand for this shitty talk about my boy Daniel Craig.
Of course it does mean it'll be extremely quiet on here from now on but I have to stick to my guns.
"Last blood" By God I fucken hope so......

If it makes you feel any better, I liked the Rambo part, Daniel Craig is quite a good Bond IMHO. He was great in Casino Royale

Casino Royale is a great Bond movie, but I tend to agree with @Tim on Daniel Craig's portrayal. And I say that as someone who thought he was excellent in Layer Cake

Back to the Future 1 and 2
Not really a review as such cos I think we all agree the first is a bonafide classic....the second gets a bit mean spirited ( Biff turning from a meathead to a full on psycho never really cut it with me )
Full of contrivances and contradictions ( why didn't Doc time travel elsewhere so he didn't have to bring Jennifer into the future ? Why does Martys son look EXACTLY like he does ? how come George and Lorraine don't think their son looks eerily similar to the bloke who sang at the high school dance then vanished ? )
But yeah.....fucken classic pair of flicks ( won't review 3 just yet as its not on Netflix )
I suppose the reason I'm doing this is it's so amusing to watch this with kids who love the storyline and humour but wonder why there are no flying cars these days ? after all 2015 is years ago now and my boys both make the point a flying car would ensure I was never late to pick them up.
Anyone else watched these two with their kids lately ?

Dude he tried to rape a girl in the back seat of his car.
