And "Brenton Thwaites" - looks like he probably has about the same acting-range as teenage Anakin.
(I know I shouldn't draw that conclusion from a single still image... but I'd be happy to put money on it) -

@Kruse Same director as The Color of Night, which I believe should be watched as a farce.
Yeah - I believe you've mentioned that once or twice... maybe one for next week, once I've soothed my poor brain with some nice simple dumb Michael Bay or some shit.

IIRC this may have been then first movie I remember seeing Alicia Vikander in and then I was subsequently surprised to find out she wasn't Australian.

LA Confidential
I can’t believe this is only the second time I’ve seen this. You forget that Russ looked like this…..
Instead of this….
……and the good old innocent days before Kevin Spacey was exposed as a sex pest.
Guy Pierce very good as well, the whole thing is definitely stylish and entertaining but possibly a bit contrived.
Oh Kim Basinger looked lovely too.
3.25 hookers that look like movie stars out of 5 crooked cops

I really enjoyed LA Confidential and would score it a solid 4/5, with the only thing grating for me was Danny DeVito’s running commentary.

Short people talk a lot to make up for their stature

My wife says Hi.
Well, she actually says a lot more than that generally.

Yes, short chicks are awesome.
Even shorter bald loudmouth Italian Americans less so.

That seals it for me

@Catogrande The first sentence, right?

you make it sound like there is a non-simple non-dumb Michael Bay version!

Ghostbusters Afterlife.
I'd heard some bad reviews for this movie, but I enjoyed it. The story has lots of references to the original film, with some great cameos. Four crossed streams out of five ecto wagons
I watched that a month or so back. I thought it was great fun, particularly as you say, if you are familiar with the original.

I'm getting soft in my old age, got a little dusty about the Harold Ramis treatment. Nicely done
