Don’t Breathe
Is this the 2016 film with Stephen Lang?
Yes
He’s excellent
On my list.

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

I'm kinda with you, but stuck it out. Was decent, but the humour didn't float my boat too much. Guess we're out on our own on the unpopular opinion front
Since this is a movie review thread, I'll shout out to the combo of Free Solo followed by Dawn Wall. Both truly remarkable films, fundamentally different, and incredible character studies of interesting human beings. Dawn Wall -- you think yuo' know what you're watching, and then 'record scratch' .... seriously great double bill.
Edit: obviously both heavy climbing films, but very accessible to someone who only climbs off the couch to get another beer

I started that last night, looks terrific so far but as I was falling asleep on the couch I might have to finish the rest tonight.
Agree about Bautista, he’s an even better actor than Rowdy Roddy Piper was ! I just think down the line it might be hard to take him seriously as anything more than a jacked up ex wrestler. For a huge scary looking fucker he does vulnerable quite well though I have to say.

That’s when I just about switched off funnily enough but I got persuaded to watch it all and wasn’t disappointed. It gets better the more “serious” it gets if that makes sense.

Yup, same, same. I made it through, but barely sniggered really. Well down on the list of my favourite films of his
And I'll second the climbing doco recommendations above. Free Solo is one of the craziest things I've ever seen.

Did you see him in that light entertainment My Spy movie? Has some good comedy chops as well.

No but he was good ( briefly ) in the recent Blade Runner flick

It's better to avoid Bushwick if you are a Bautista fan.
And Final Score, utterly terrible movie and his "acting" in this movie was poor at best.
Also in the same movie, Pierce Brosnan does a Bruce Willis and just mails it in.
1 out of 5 for this POS
