    Also saw No Hard Feelings with Jennifer Lawerance this week and my @kruse review of it is:
    Titwatch - yes.

    Then the title should rather be "Hard Feelings"?

    Most definitely

    Very easy on the eye

    The Covenant by Guy Ritchie. I'm scratching my head about the hype around this. It started ok but then went to absolute shit.

    That last sentence sounds like a lot of his movies, I'm not a great fan of the director, after his first 2 or so movies I think he improved his cinematography but ran out of ideas.

    @Machpants At first I thought this was just a beat up, but he did actually have the initial role, it appears there are a few different versions of events of why he left which the following article summarises..

    ..too much kick boxing on set, complained too much, broke the suit, too hot and passed out too much, not big enough to be the predator etc all seem plausible.

    Why Did Jean-Claude Van Damme Get Replaced in ‘Predator’?

    Why Did Jean-Claude Van Damme Get Replaced in ‘Predator’?

    The most-debated point in Jean-Claude Van Damme lore is why he left 'Predator.' Now the star finally speaks out.

    Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1

    If you don't like this type of movie don't go just to complain, go in knowing what you are going to get and you will enjoy it. American James Bond save the world format. For me not the best in the series and some action scenes for me crossed more into Fast and Furious type of set ups unfortunately. However there were still some slick Cruise moments as well...

    Overall a good set up for the sequel just not the best in the series, synopsis is in the score

    I just find it sad that for some people, even AIs have their defining characteristic as colour.
    In this day and age.
    Disappointing.

    I agree, fun romp, and a good few laughs. Exactly as expected and with seeing on the bigger screen

    Death Race 2050

    • Homage to a classic
    • If you haven't watched Death Race 2000 - do yourself a favour... watch it.
      • Sly Stallone before he was Rocky
      • David Carradine while he was still Kung Fu
    • Low expectations
    • For the first 30 minutes or so - not bad...
      • Fairly true to the original...
      • Cheesy, possibly even exact costumes? Will need to re-watch the original
      • Excellent casting of Malcom McDowell... I actually had to research whether he was the President in the original or not... it just felt like he was
      • Tit-watch: several
    • Then... it became patchy. Most of it still felt "true to the original"... for better or worse.
    • But... those moments of "for the worse"...
    • The ending... not as good as the original. But nothing's ever going to better than the "hand grenade" line/endint.
    • Better than Jason Statham's reboot shit. But I'm now going to re-watch those anyway, as stupid STUPID distractions

    Don't get me wrong - this was shit. But I could understand why it was shit... it really was an "homage" to the original... for better or worse. Sometimes - for the better... sometimes - for the worse. I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anybody who wasn't already a MASSIVE fan of the original.

    And again: tit-watch: multiple.
