John Wick
Wow. What a rush. I loved the style, the action was almost non stop once it kicked off, the violence was extreme like a video game. Keanu did great with more brooding and less dialogue. 5 dead puppies out of 5 dead Russian gangsters
Three John Wick movies is not enough.
I hope the sequels are on Netflix
In Oz they are, actually over there they're all on all of the main streamers.

I am watching A View to a Kill.
It is a pretty average Bond movie, with some good performances and excellent stunts. It is too long etc, but it is so much more entertaining, and actually attached to real physics and locations, than any action movie I have seen in ages.

Just finished Ford versus Ferrari.
The Top Gear stories about the car are (naturally) more accurate and informative, but this was fun. I loved every hollywood part of it, actually. It's the first car movie since Days of Thunder that I thought I'd want to watch again and as always Christian Bale was fucking wicked.
No tits. Therefore, 4/5 go fuck those Ferraris.

Well. Comically bad is an anagram if Richard Gere.
I think.

The Hitmans Wife’s Bodyguard-
Stupid fun with Samuel L J being Samuel L J, Ryan Reynolds being Ryan Reynolds and Salma Hayek jiggling her fun bags.
3.5 seatbelts out of 5 undersized brasSome of the dialogue was pretty good too:
"You're gonna drive this car down those steps without first asking if I'm wearing a sports bra?"

The Adam Project
I quite enjoyed it. A good watch, not a great watch. Sort of an updated Time Cop. Ryan Reynolds is always consistent, Jennifer Garner doesn't really do it for me and it wasn't that kind of role playing the mum. Zoe Saldana plays the love interest, and she's hot don't get me wrong. But perhaps it's my 80s bias, I preferred the doe eyed chick from Ferris Buellers day off who played the wife in Time Cop. The villain in TC was better too, but the young and old self interaction was quite well done, and the bit near the end with Mark Ruffalo seemed to stir up the dust in the lounge. 3.5 Time travellers out of 5 urinating bullies

Spiderman - No Way Home
Excellent movie, even at 2.5 hours long, great seeing all the old faces too.
4.5 I'm Peter Parkers out of 5 He's Peter Parker

@bayimports my favorite bit was when the words came up at the end!

The Adam Project
Massive man crush on Ryan Reynolds so really enjoyed this.
Great family movie, killer special effects, and well written and structured. Even if it uses the time travel tropes. Helluva cast.
5 not-a-lightsabers out of 5 totally-a-lightsaber.

Windfall - Netflix
I really enjoyed this but boy is it getting mixed reviews and reactions. For people brought up on a diet of obvious tension, over the top characters and 'dramatic' twists I can see why they don't get it but as it is obvious from the opening shots and score that this is a homage to Hitchcock I just took it that way.
The setting and premise was clever in that it was timeless. Plemons was brilliant. Yeah, there's bits of suspended belief but no more so than most movies. You could see the ending coming but it was still watchable.
I wouldn't say it is a must watch but way better than this review IMO.3 Mexican Gardeners out of 5 Trophy wives.
