@mikethesnow looks good if I can get past Adrian Brody as an action man.
Or as an actor come to that.

@mikethesnow Ha! That looks like a Nic Cage film I could watch.

Last night in Soho - pretty decent movie, took a while to get going, but once it did, it went along nicely.
3.5 annoying room mates out of 5 annoying neon lights
Also, couldnt pick the accent of Eloise, the main girl, turns out she is a Kiwi (although wasnt really a Kiwi accent either)

Saw No time to Die last night. Quite enjoyed it. Ana is smokin. Beautiful scenery. Freddy Mercury was a decent villain although I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that recent Bond villains were motivated by personal grievances instead of the usual world domination

Yeah it was ok, but too much about 'wuv, tru wuv' than bond should be

Cosmic Sin
On Netflix. Bruce Willis in a sci-fi .... Basically a bunch of SF concepts thentogether, in a blender, then eat a shit sandwich while watching it and putting acid into your eyeballs.
How does he end up in so many shit films?
Minus 8 over actors out of 5 Die Hards

@tim Best part of that twitter feed was the next post showed me this beauty. Who didn't watch Fast times at Ridgemount High and not jerk off over Phoebe Cates.
Judge Reinhold sure did.
What a performance

Matrix Ressurections spoiler free review:
Best way to describe this two and a half hour reboot is to point out that at the end the song played is a cover of RATM "Wake Up". No, the cover isn't as good as the original.

The Last Duel
2.5 hours...Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Jodie Comer and Kylo Ren
Interesting way to do it in that they tell the same story from each of the 3 main characters perspective culminating in the duel.
Good acting, a bit slow, but otherwise decent.

The Last Duel
Had the day off with Mrs Boo today and went to an early (9:30) movie.
Only a few oldies at the cinema, pretty much fitting the demographic of grey nomads deserting the caravan parks as the weather was a but dodgy.
But they all trooped into James Bond. So we had our cinema completely to ourselves. Just the two of us in the whole place. Surreal and kind of cool. Am spolit for going to the movies with other people ever again.
As for the movie, an interesting take on true story.
Two blokes, initially close friends, one (Kylo Ren) was the godfather to the other guy's (Matt Damon) son etc, grow increasingly bitter with each other, until Kylo becomes obsessed with Damon's wife (Jodie Comer).
Kylo, thinking he is in love pays her a visit, and rapes her (or does he?).
The denouement is the trial by combat alluded to in the title. "Last", as it was the last "judicial duel" in France. Truth decided by whoever won the duel as the outcome is ordained by God.
Told in three chapters (makes for a long movie, nearly 3 hours), from the perspective of each of the characters in turn, Carrouges (Damon), Le Gris (Kylo), and Marguerite.
Interesting to see how the character of the characters change in each chapter, and to see how they each perceive certain events.
Won't go in too much detail about the trial or the duel (more Medieval jousting and bashing with sharp heavy objects than any sort of chivalrous fencing with epees - real barbaric stuff). But if there's concern about women being believed about rape in the 21st century spare a thought for those speaking up in the 14th.
Have read a bit of background to the actual story this arvo. Apparently the movie gets it pretty close, and it is quite well known, and contentious, in France.
Recommended.
