This should be good. Witcher, Reacher and that bloke who was married to Madonna. No, the other one.

@antipodean i watched this trailer this morning. it looks a load of fun
Also the smoking hot Eiza Gonzalez
-
@antipodean Good cast. Speaking of Ritchie, his old producing partner and arguably better director, Mathew Vaughn has Argylle coming out tomorrow which also stars the Witcher and has a cracking cast.

Am watching The Beekeeper, which is pretty entertaining so far. Statham wasted far too much time on that Meg crap.
In this he's kind of like the aged version of pr0spector88's fantasy operator, and he's determined to kill Hunter Biden.
I watched this on your recommendation as there were 3 movies at the same time and I couldn't chose.
It was a good action film, while completely stupid at the same time.
I don't know why it wasn't just a Mechanic film. In fact, I prefer to think of all of Staths films like this as within the same universe, it's like he's in an episodic TV show going around helping out the weak. Stath as the 70s Hulk or The Littlest Hobo.
I now want to see one of those YT expert discusses movies type vids where they say whether he accidentally killed some of the law enforcement people he was trying not to kill.

Napoleon.
Bit of a mishmash if truth be told. Cinemaphotography was stunning and the battle scenes outstanding, but the whole thing came across as a bit empty and unfinished.
Joachim Phoenix was pretty poor, maybe because the script was poor or he was just bored by the whole thing. Rupert Everett's Wellington was way more real and engaging despite having a limited screen time.
Bit disappointing. 3 Parisian bordello pleasure techniques out of 5 Austerlitz cavalry charges

Agree, as much as I swim against the tide and think DDL hammed up certain later films (Gangs, Blood) he is genuinely brilliant in the majority of his career, Phoenix was probably last good in Inventing the Abbott's and I probably only remember that due to Jennifer Connelly's boobs.
Even his Joker which you rate is just the same performance he always gives to me.

The flatties and I pretty much destroyed the video cassette rewinding that scene over and over. I didn’t even know JP was in the movie.
Outstanding rack ( which seems to have vanished of late, she was a million times hotter in her youth than she is today )

She's still hot for her age I reckon, she's just aged.

The rack in her early 20s was absolutely award winning.

No but I’d make the boob comment. ( afterwards )

Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom
Should really be called "... and the Lost Franchise"
I have good memories of the first Aquaman film. We were in Taupo in 2019 during January, and at a bit of a loose end after dinner. While we had to pay cash (they didn't accept Credit Card at the time), we settled in for a bit of Jason "Fucking" Momoa in what was a decent flick from memory.
So a couple of Sundays ago, we were once again at a loose end. The writers strike has given us lean pickings in terms of cinema viewing. The new Aquaman film was on, so what the hell.
The DC franchise is a dumpster fire, by and large. Expectations were low.
They were met.
The CGI was generally good. The funny parts were mostly funny. But it was just bullshit and failed at any point to generate engagement.

What the hell happened to DC? How do you fůck up Batman Superman and Wonder Woman? I remember watching some amazing DC cartoons with my boys when they were younger. So much good material to work with yet it's gone to poop. Marvel the same obviously, but DC never got anywhere near Marvel levels of success in the past 15 years.

@Rancid-Schnitzel the shine is coming off some Marvel stuff as well. I saw the trailer for something called "Madame Web" and it looks less than even mildly interesting
