That's an awesome read, cheers.

<p>Saw Mahana the other day. Thought the script was pretty bad - had no idea what the source material was like. The acting was good and it was well directed, shot and edited but I don't think those factors could carry the plot. It's okay and wouldn't recommend unless you like New Zealand films.</p>

<p>Daddys Home - Will Ferrel, Mark Wahlberg and cameo by John Cena.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will Ferrell is a wussy bumbling step-dad, Wahlberg the cool real dad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Had its moments, slow through the middle, but ended with a funny little cameo of Cena's, not really a fan of Ferrel, but this was watchable</p> -
<p>The John Cena bit at the end was the best bit IMO. Certainly watchable for amusement on a rainy day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Watched 22 Bullets starring Jean Reno and it's good. Hollywood will make a version and ruin it type good. Certainly better than the IMDB rating suggests. Jean is a retired mobster and you can guess how it goes from there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It loses two stars; one for a lack of tits and could have had more gore/ violence/ shoot-outs given the opportunities in the script.</p> -
<p>I liked it, but then i like Will Ferrell, and i like Mark Wahlberg. I laughed at quite a lot of it. </p>
-
<p>oh yeah were plenty of moments I laughed at, I liked Thomas Haden Church's character too!</p>

<p>Watched "San Andreas" last night. I do love me a disaster movie.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was pretty fucking bad though. Right from the opening minute where that chick not only survives that crash, but isn't badly hurt or knocked out. The Rock is rad, but what did they do to Carla Gugino's face? Thankfully the chick who nuded up in True Detective runs around a lot with her massive bouncy cans.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The destruction scenes were cool, San Fran got fucked (the death toll in this movie must be massive!), but overall it's pretty ordinary. And that's before the final 2 minutes, which would look bad in an Asylum film. </p> -
<p>Finally watched Deadpool - mint movie!</p>

<p>I saw that recently as well. Some pretty good lines despite coming from Ryan Reynolds and the pommy bad guy was cool but overall not my cup of tea.</p> -

<p>Also saw this as it was on the tv and I got some amusement out of how bad it was</p>
<p>Movie: 2/10</p>
<p>Cans: 11/10</p> -

<p>I watched it on the big screen and I thought it was pretty good. Physics was secondary though, the calm waters around San Fran when sea level has just climbed about 200 metres was probably the worst.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sit back, don't think, watch and enjoy. </p> -
<p>oh, i wasn't thinking, and i did enjoy it, but it's still not great. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But i love watching cities get leveled on the screen, awesome</p> -

Wait what, cities are levelled? How did I not notice that..<br><br><img src="http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160411/826118ef5d22ccdb60567639e84b0cbe.jpg" alt="826118ef5d22ccdb60567639e84b0cbe.jpg"><br><img src="http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160411/81c623c5cdb2e12772b05ddcdc250722.jpg" alt="81c623c5cdb2e12772b05ddcdc250722.jpg"> -

<p>I love the previews of it, especially the part when the bunny is dealing with the sloths. Really well done, especially the Sloth's Laugh</p>

<p>My better half had a bit of a laughing fit in the part with the Sloths. Excellent movie. I take RS's point about the slightly preachy shit at the end, but it is a good message nonetheless.</p>

<p>8/10.</p> -

<p>I'm disappointed, what has happened to Carla Guginos face ? from memory she was the only reason I watched Spin City back in the day.</p> -
