@MN5 Attack the Block but with ageing wrestlers?
Are they all actual wrestlers?
Jesus Christ Neps, didn’t they have TVs in the Bay in the 80s and 90s ?
That’s Haku/Meng. You’d better not forget his name or he’ll bite your nose off. ( true story )
He was the one who I knew was definitely a wrestler. Probably because he's a poly.
Google some stories on him. Some are absolutely amazing.

Half an hour into this and starts a bit shit but becoming decent. Cena is bloody fun to watch eh.
Edit: yeah, watch it. Good fun really and some brilliant lines.

Killers of the flower moon. Was soooo slow moving to start that I almost gave up. But picked up pace and was pretty good. Both de Niro and Di caprio are excellent. It’s a looong film.

I don't know if I've watched this, or if I've just seen the ads for it.
Monkey Man: An Indian set (but Thailand filmed) John Wick style movie crossed with a boring movie. This was weird, the action set pieces are more Indonesian style (think The Raid/The Night Comes for Us) than Hong Kong/Hollywood and most of them were really good - but there's a whole background story that is filmed arty as fuck and just drags.
Stars Dev Patel from Skins and Slumdog Millionaire.

I thought Hulk Hogan was the epitome of wrestling comedic movie talent but Cena has taken it to another level again

Thanks mate.
You're welcome.

@Kiwiwomble if I hadnt watched the 1st one and been let down, I'd be thinking fuck, that looks mint!
-
@taniwharugby thats fair, i filed the first one away as "fun" rather than "good" so will happily watch the second at home with some takeaways knowing i didn't pay to see it in the cinema

Not going to sugar-coat this: That looks shit. Like the writers at Disney got lazy. Even though I'm making allowances for my bad mood right now, I can't accept children cutting straw scarecrows is a match against an enemy that can amass an interstellar (I assume) fleet.

Scott Bakula's gotta be one of our least transformational actors. I like him fine but he completely overwhelms anything he's a part of, transforming the work itself rather than allowing himself to become subsumed, humbled. This is a type of Star power. Brando had it. Welles had it. But where those men would pull their films into their gravitational pull like planets orbiting a star, Bakula pulls all of his projects in the direction of a TV movie from 1994.

Sounds like someone missed the battle of Endor back in 83

lol I think the writers of John Carter will be feeling like they are ahead of someone

Really enjoyed it
3.5 twists out of 5 turns

No, and even as a child I hated the ewoks.

Yeah, that was much better than I thought it would be.

@antipodean Just once I would like to see an interstellar fleet advance upon a planet protected by a rag-tag group of rebels, and vaporize the surface with relativistic velocity asteroids.

Surprisingly, one of the best movies I've seen this year was Godzilla Minus One. The boy is a huge Godzilla fan so went to see it with him and was blown away by how good it was. Don't need to be a Godzilla fan to enjoy it. It's Japanese with subtitles though.
