Lockdown here, so got quite a few to update ..
Ghost.
Even the magnificence of Swayze can't lift this movie up. Given he managed to lift up Dirty Dancing to watchable level, and that is the ultimate chick-only flick storyline, this is seriously saying something. Moore grieves and basically cries the whole fucking movie, so its' not even worth watching for her. Shit effect, shit movie, shit plot. Goldberg gets the occasional laugh which is how it registers it's sole star.
1 crying Demi out of 5 obvious plotsJack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
Never got the heads up that it was a b-movie. How on earth they got Costner to act in this, I don't know. Not actually a bad movie in itself, with a half decent storyline, but it's just feels like you're watching some made for TV thing from the 90's. Highlight was a solid discussion about the size of Knightley's tits with my wife (I have a major thing for Kiera) which meant a bit of googling found me a legit picture of her topless. Two panadols on an ironing board anybody?
3 bad Russian accents out of 5 bad actorsFlight
I think I wrote about this above, but I watched it again as it was on and thought why not. Simply tremendous movie. Washington is superb and you really get the flawed character he is playing. Really good plot, with a good story, and a proper ending.
4.5 upside down flights out of 5 epically pissed WashingtonsAirplane II
Not as good as the first one, but still got some epic scenes. Jive guy swearing on the bible ("ain't no thang" followed by high 5's) and the sign flashing when the stewie is talking bullshit had me in tears.
3 Bullshits out of 5 Collossal bullshits
Bowling For Columbine
Certainly not a feel good movie, but and absolutely fascinating delve into American gun culture. A bit dated now & I think my political views have softened somewhat from I first saw it, so I'm not as completely in agreeance with Moore as I was. Marilyn Manson interview is still the best part of it. Man is incredibly smart, there is no question about that
4 free guns out of 5 American ShitholesBorat 2
Not as good as the first, not even close. Lots of questions come out of the movie, especially for Rudy Giuliani to answer. Some of the scenes are so god damned cringe worthy, and some are just lame. Still watchable though, and it's free on Amazon ...
3 happy out of 5 endings -

Are you dead on the inside??? It's pure loveliness and gentle comedy and a good cry all rolled into one. What a classic, did your wife give it the same rating?? -
@R-L I stand by my review.

@MN5 meanie
Well go and watch it then it won't even be an issue.
If it makes you feel any better my other half would get an instant ban too, but then again she think's I'm extremely sad for visiting this forum in the first place anyway.
I have managed to make her sit through Mando but only cos I have to rub her shoulders the whole time.

@MN5 she's right but it's a guilty pleasure.
I'll give it a go. I liked predator, is it similar?

No Aliens, about 1000% less realistic from a fighting/tactics point of view and Arnie is ON FIRE with the cheesy lines.
Nothing to not enjoy, 80's action at it's finest.
