<p><strong>Point Break - Awesome, Comman</strong>do - Awesomer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, watched the Austin Powers trilogy recently. Man that Mike Myers is one talented bastard. Austin, Evil, Fat Bastard, Gold Member... genius at work.</p>

<p>Saw the martian, enjoyed it but just like Saving private Ryan I can't see myself risking my life for Matt Damon so bit hard to relate there.</p> -

<p>Also saw Black Mass, thought Depp was incredible, very good movie but agree not quite top of the pile.<br><br>
Very keen to see legend, Cray brothers had a wee bit of involvement in Balham where I lived in London and heard some stories in a couple older pubs, also randomly met a guy at a bar in New Plymouth who was in Balham at that time and ran into one of them</p>

<p>Legend was good, a bit long, Hardy was great though. I really don't like the female lead, there is something about her that annoys me so I wasn't really invested in her character so some of the story beats were missed on me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't rate it as highly as dk does - it's behind The Martian and Black Mass of recent movies.</p> -
<p>Vacation - Christina Applegate, Leslie Mann (both of whom are tidy) Chevy Chase (looking rather fat) Ed Helms and Chris Hemsworth</p>
<p> </p>
<p>National Lampoons Vacation gets a reboot as Rusty Griswald wants to recreate his family holiday to Wally World with his family...silly as <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='mailto:f@ck'>f@ck</a>, but I was chuckling away at plenty of juvenile shit!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hidden - no names, a husband, wife and daughter live underground in a shelter hidden away from the world and the 'breathers' that hunt them. I liked this one! Knew nothing of it, and thought it was a pretty cool twist on the genre (as with most movies, some dumb plot holes, but for the most part, was good)</p> -

<p>I haven;t seen Martian yet and I have high expectations that it will be great as well</p> -

The Martian was great. I've been a fan of the book for ages, so much so I made my wife read it too. <br><br>
Movie was about as good as they could have done it, obviously most of the detail drops out. May even be worth reading the book first. -

<p>I've missed that boat now, might leave it 6 months or so before reading the book. </p> -
<p>Terminator Genisys - lets milk this franchise for all its worth...bit of a mind fuck with additional character time travel crossing lines of travel in previous movies<br><br>
That said it was ok..was waiting for dragons to appear though.</p> -
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="taniwharugby" data-cid="527389" data-time="1444684683"><p>Knock Knock - Keanu Reeves<br> <br>Some pretty average acting in this (some wont be surprised given the lead) but the story is every males worst nightmare!<br> <br>Your wife and kids head out of town, you stay home, and at about midnight, 2 hot young girls, soaking wet from the rain, knock on your door claiming to be lost....<br> <br>Pretty disturbing really (in a WTF kind of way) and they left a couple of questions unanswered as well (not the usual kind where you are left to decide on your own)</p></blockquote>I watched The Green Inferno followed by Knock Knock, not realising they were both Eli Roth directed.<br>Neither were his best work, but I thought The Green Inferno was much better.<br>Some context within Knock Knock would have gone a long way I thought.

<p>Watched Jurassic World on the weekend. Great fun. Best monster fight ever! Yes it's stupid as hell, but jesus, it's about a park full of dinosaurs created in a lab, it's not like it's marketed as a gritty thriller. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Chris Pratt is an excellent action star. Charisma, a jaw line, and a sense of humour. Awesome. Him riding a motorbike flat chat through a jungle, at night, hunting a giant hybrid dino-monster, using his trained raptors, may just about be the coolest thing i have ever seen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BDH isn't too shabby looking in this either, her rack looks fantastic. </p> -

<p>I'm torn between that and the raccoon firing a machine gun in his last movie. The fact he had trained velociraptors running along side him probably tips it though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also sales of marlin 45/70 lever action guide guns has increased since then. My son has been saying "can we get one dad, please?". I mean look at that thing.</p>
