@majorrage was never impressed with Brad Pitt much, not a fan. One of my faves was the Bruce Willis appearances and Hank Azaria was always good!

Videodrome is a bloody great film and one of Cronenberg's best.
Really deep and dark film with loads of social comment. And Debbie Harry getting her kit off.

Is this the 2016 film with Stephen Lang?

Money Plane
If the name of the movie hasn't already summed everything up for you.... here's a quote from the protagonist early on...
"We are going to rob... the Money Plane. It's an airborne casino, chartered by a bunch of elite criminals who bet on all sorts of crazy shit. It operates over international airspace, but apparently it has over a billion dollars in crypto-currency"
If you're still struggling to judge this book by its cover...
- It stars WWE wrestling star Edge/Christian. I'm pretty sure it's Edge, but I've never been able to tell the two apart. The one whose chin precedes his nose... that one. 95% sure it's Edge.
- It's directed by some guy with 2 brothers... the 2 brothers, and the director, are all in the movie. Hint: this is not a good sign of quality.
Tit-watch: zero. It does have Denise Richards in it, but as a middle-aged wife, with veeeery limited screen-time, and looking like "huh... do I know her from somewhere? Was she my primary-school mate's mum who I slightly fantasised about because I didn't have too many female wank-role-models around?"
Antagonist: Kelsey Grammar. Yeah. Bad Guy Kelsey Grammar. Alternating "dialling it in" with "hamming it up". He really goes for it with "I'm the baddest motherfucker in the world"... but... he's Kelsey fucking Grammar. So... yeah, nah.
Overall: 2 just watch the "Honest Trailers" clip for it out of 5 "you'd be better off watching a classic '90s TLC ladder match"

JoJo Rabbit satire/comedy/spoof of the Hitler Youth. One of the funniest things I've watched for a while (but then I have a very, very dark sense of humour)
4 Mel Brooks Nazi jokes out of 5 Human Centipede Sequels
-
....and a re-watch of Four Lions
-
@victor-meldrew I think I got about half an hour into Jojo and gave up, it just didn't grab me. Might have to give it another bash since everyone rates it so highly.

Army of the dead. Snyder wins again. Excellent bit of pulpy escapism. I think Batista may be he best acting wrestler.
No love for The Rock?
-
@canefan always. I'm Samoan after all. But he's always the rock. Batista can be Drax, a zombie hunting dad, an android in hiding or a near sited cop and those are the characters you believe he is. He's not just Batista.
He's also sitting on a potential gold mine if he starts presenting himself as Asian. Which to my knowledge he doesn't tap too much into.

In Stuber (I think, the Uber driver movie he made with Kamail Nanjiani) he mentions that he's not white.
I assumed he was South American due to his name and actually only just looked him up yesterday and saw that he was Filipino.

@raznomore Johnson was awesome in Be Cool I thought.

@bones that's about it though.
He was great in the Jumanji reboot as a nerdy kid trapped in the Rock's body
