@bayimports Idris Elba is a dog shit actor who belongs on TV, but that was one of the worst performances I have seen. Awful writing too.
I think he was easily the best thing about this movie. He single handedly took it from a 1 out of 5 to 1.5 out of 5 with his presence alone.
Yeah the writing, bad acting from others and CONSTANT fucken acronyms did my head in.
Without even watching it - I'm going to assume that when you say "acronyms" you actually mean "initialisms".
And please stop it.I think you’re actually right.
You should watch it. Awesome flick

From what I've read - I'm going to assume that this suggestion is effectively an attempt to apply punishment for my pedantry.
But yeah - about to do some long-haul flights soon - will probably do so. then (by the sounds of it) - quickly forget, and ... ... -

I’ll look forward to the review. There’s some great tits in there.

I can analyse Ardie Savea in a much more measured fashion though.
Really? So what's his real height, then?

He’d be 5 foot 13 and a half on a good day
Or about 4 or so Cubits if you want to go that way.

The Ritual - Al Pacino, Dan Stevens.
About an alleged exorcism in the US. An utter crock of shit - cheesy dialogue, crap special effects and Pacino simply going thru the motions.

Al is 85. It's a damn good effort for him to still be going to be honest.
I'm a massive fan Heat, Carlitos Way and Scarface are absolutely legendary performances..... but yeah, this looks like formulaic shit to be honest. Your review is probably spot on. Does he have a few ex wives to pay off ?

Mr Burton - The true story of Philip Burton, the schoolteacher (played by Toby Jones) who taught and became a lifelong mentor and friend to a certain Richard Jenkins and became his legal guardian. Jenkins took his guardian's name and became Richard Burton.......
One of those sleeper films which draw you in and spit you out the other end. Brilliantly acted, written and paced - and resonates as it's so real. Superb film.

Predator Badlands: So there's three good Predator movies now, there may be 4 but I can't remember the first sequel very well, the other two are the original and Prey.
This is a Predator set in space with no humans on a planet that at times looks remarkably like NZ (was filmed in NZ. It's obvious when you see toi toi and there are river scenes that just look like NZ but with CGI alien planet stuff).
Stars a NZ actor as The Predator and one of the Fanning girl as an android.
Spoiler:
The Predator was the "goodie". It was always inevitable this would happen but they stuck the landing on it. -

Rewatched the two Blade Runners back to back.
Also caught this online which I hadn't seem before, fleshes out Bautistas character heaps more and proves he is by far the best wrestler turned actor ever.
Cool little scene.
Hes such a great actor, and agree his Character despite such short on screen time was brilliant.
Those extra shorts helped flesh it outi only discovered BR2049 a couple years ago, such a master piece and a shame it did so badly at the Box Office
On a side note how amazing is Denis Villeneuve recent run of movies...Sicario
Arrival
Blade Runner 2049
Dune Pt 1
Dune Pt 2 -

Dune Pt 1
Dune Pt 2Haven’t seen the first two but he definitely gave two of the 80s most inconsistently reviewed sci fi flicks a new lease of life.
The original Blade Runner and Dune seem to be equally loved and hated overall, I personally loved them, real thinking man’s sci fi ( definitely helps reading up on the lore online though )
