There weren’t many black dudes in Nelson in the 80s
"England expects that every man will do his duty," as Lord Horatio Nelson used to say. Not sure he said that during his time in the West Indies...
I’m not too proud to say I have absolutely no fucken idea what you’re on about fella

Do you like obvious green screen, CGI and implausible, idiotic science disaster movies? Then this is for you.
I'm a third of the way through and this is a
blatant rip offhomage to When Worlds Collide, Armageddon and Deep Impact. Less than the sum of those parts too. Much less.I'm now halfway through and it has managed the previously thought unachievable; gotten way worse. I'm compelled to see just how bad it gets. Perhaps that was their intent all along.

@antipodean do it....it wont disappoint in a weird way

@Catogrande absolutely I like disaster movies for a laugh, but this just got worse

"There weren’t many black dudes in Nelson in the 80s"
I wasn't sure if you meant Nelson the place or Nelson the Admiral... -

Unfathomably this is the worst disaster movie I've seen in a very long time. It is ludicrously stupid and yet comes from the same director responsible for Universal Soldier, Stargate, Independence Day...
The best way to describe it would be to remove it from the high budget disaster genre and call it its own disaster.

Emily the Criminal was pretty good. First 30 minutes were very good. The rest strained belief, but was entertaining and engaging.
Enjoyed the way it was shot.
3.5 out of 5.
Yep
Enjoyed it too -

It's a great movie though.

Top Gun : Maverick
I saw all the gushing here about it from you fluffybunnies, but couldn't see how it would live up to that hype.
But yeah - pretty fucking good.
So many moments of reference back to the original that should have been cringe - but... somehow weren't.
Pleasantly surprised..
Tit-watch: zero.Those tones in the credits - Currently trying to hold myself back from downloading an Amiga emulator, and playing F/A-18 Interceptor

I watched Thor: Love and Thunder. I went in with pretty low expectations based on the media coverage surrounding the movie. It was typical quirky Taika stuff. But it was a reasonable watch despite failing to scale the heights of better Marvel films
fair enough, I thought Christian Bale was great but let down by the rest of the movie which really wanted to be a slapstick collection of skits. And the Guardians got virtually zero character development. Wasted potential there IMO.

It was a low key watch which I didn't feel required my full attention at all times. Certainly no Endgame

Falling Down
I’m really going through a phase ( which has lasted years ) of accidentally stumbling across movies I haven’t seen in years, watching them and in some cases hating them or loving them. This is firmly in the latter category…..
Michael Douglas has never been better and the supporting cast is terrific as well. When I saw this as a teenager I thought “Fuck what a psycho”…..now as a bloke of 45 who has had a divorce and worked jobs I absolutely hated I find him, well a bit more relatable…….
Pretty far fetched and a few too many coincidences but shit it still holds up and is wonderfully entertaining ( horrifying to realise this movie is nearly THIRTY years old !!! )
4 D Fens out of 5 Bust up my store.

very under rated film in my view.

6 Underground
Had never heard of this and found it on Netflix last night. I enjoyed it myself, although to say its' a bit far fetched is one hell of an understatement. Been looking at Auto Trader today for bright green Alfa Romeo's ...
I mean, it's Michael Bay crossed with Ryan Reynolds. You know what your going to get. A shit load of over the top action, complete bullshit scenes with some perfectly delivered dialogue.
4 Green Alfa Romeos out of 5 Can't stop thinking about that cars

And on topic: Started watching American Gigolo. Didn't bother finishing it as the sound production was so bad. Comically so.
Moved on to Fatal Attraction. I can see how this unnerved men when it was released, but the idea a successful man would bump uglies with Glenn Close sober threw me, until I remembered Arnie and his maid...

The movie or the new TV series?
