@nepia I think she is a pretty good actress but never found her attractive.
I’m sure she’s gutted to hear that

Her accent always annoyed me.

@jegga I'm surprised you mentioned that movie without mentioning the nakedness of Charlize Theron - you're slipping.
Pacino probably should have won for a Godfather or Serpico.
He's (Brody) only in one series, the most recent one, so you're good to watch the early ones.
Godfather 1 Best actor went to Brando
Godfather 2 Art Carney in Harry and Tonto WTF - other nominees Albert Finney in "Murder on the Orient Express", Dustin Hoffman in "Lenny", Jack Nicholson in "Chinatown", Al Pacino in "The Godfather, Part II"
Godfather 3 - Pacino didn't get a nomination. Nominees were Jeremy Irons in "Reversal of Fortune" (winner WTF Pt 2), Kevin Costner in "Dances With Wolves", Robert De Niro in "Awakenings", Gerard Depardieu in "Cyrano de Bergerac", Richard Harris in "The Field"
Serpico Jack Lemmon in Save the Tiger WTF Pt 3 -other nominees Marlon Brando in "Last Tango in Paris", Jack Nicholson in "The Last Detail", Al Pacino in "Serpico", Robert Redford in "The Sting"
The Academy seems to have got it right more often in the 70's than nowadays but Pacino must have wondered what he did wrong to lose out to sentimental votes to ageing but respected actors two years running who held together non-descript films that pretty much tanked at the box office.
Serpico loses to an old guys sorry efforts to save his business via insurance fraud and the Godfather to an old guy who walks across America with his cat - getting consistently disappointed by his kids en route WTF Pt 4

Sicario, Day of the Soldado.
Decent watch, similar vein as the first but not quite as good.

Whoever beat Sam Rockwell for the Oscar in Moon was very very lucky ,speaking of which check him out playing GW and Bale playing Cheney .
That's got Oscar nomination for Bale written all over it.
Fair play the Haverfordwest boy suffers for his art.

View To a Kill (1985)
This film is a bit tired and shit. The patterns are getting increasingly transparent. In this one Grace Jones plays the exact same part as Jaws part, the baddie who gets wronged by the super baddie and becomes a goodie and dies to save James.
Breakthrough for Bond franchise though; they gave the megaspunk babe a science brain. "Womens Lib" they called it. Plus James didnt even root her til the last scene.
36% on Rotten T. Rog Moore is wayy past it here. FFS I could totally kick his arse in this one. Could in all of them really. 65 kg lightweight.
1985? Looks more like 1980 to me. Don't tell me my teen years were spent being bored titless in such a tinpot environ. It really was boring as fuck before the internet came along. Shit, imagine being born one of these "millenial" sooks with the internet right fucken there. Internet grot, ffs, I would've started wanking at the age of 3 instead of fucken 5.

I know I should see this before reviewing, but I'm prepared to make a prediction and say you should see it. A cross between Unforgiven and Gran Torino

Smallfoot.
Never quite sure what to make of kids movies, but this was fun with a decent enough storyline. Plenty of moments to make the kids laugh so worth taking them along to see it.

Antman and Wasp.
thought this was decent, bit of humour and Evangeline is tidy as is Hannah as Ava/Ghost (I like her from Killjoys)
3.5 FBI raids out of 5 truth serums

Rumour is that James Gunn is going to direct and write Suicide Squad 2 for DC, am stoked!
That's good, although the cast seem to still be holding out hope (putting pressure on) that he'll return for Guardians 3. I actually didn't mind the first Suicide Squad (one of the better DC for me, despite getting the worst reviews for them) but it was hellishly disjointed due I assume to the trailer reaction and re-edit. It will be good to see what a single vision can do with it.

It was disjointed because the script was written in six weeks or something stupid.
Drax actor has tweeted he wants in on the movie too.

This looks fucken amazing.
But it stars the closest person to a god that will ever grace the screen so I'm biased.

The Living Daylights (1987)
"Timothy Dalton" "TIMOTHY DALTON"? Who the fuck is this weasel-eyed fluffybunny? This wooden wiener is about as suave as goddamn cock cancer. Compared to his illustrious predecessors, messrs Connery and Moore, he looks like he bought his clothes in the fucking supermarket.
"Timothy Dalton". May as well be Tomoko fucken Dildostein for all he's got to do with my Bond franchise. HowTF did he even pass the screen test? His dad must be the goddamn director.
Did the dishes. Read up on the footy. Basically stalled until this bland Where's Wally twat got OFF my telly.
I enjoyed this one. It was a bit 'dark'. Pretty certain a few people who knew Fleming said he said Dalton was his personal favourite Bond.
Necros was one of the coolest henchmen too, better than that homo Dario from LTK

Terminator Salvation
I'm not quite sure why this got so much hate, ok no Arnie....but Bale and Worthington give kick ass performances, some cool as fuck action scenes.....a really worthy addition to the series. Doesn't quite measure up to the first two ( which isn't surprising ) but way better than number 3 and 5.

The Hateful Eight
Tarantino emerges from his crypt every few years in order to write a movie with the word "nigger" in it as many times as possible.
When he feels it isn't enough, he extends the movie to nearly three hours in order to get to N-squared.
Long, boring bits of attempted classy cinematography stuffed in among that, and then actually some really nice moments of audiovisual competence in the long shots and some of the action inside the cabin.

Personally, I would have checked the basement early on if I was Samuel L Jackson, given he knew the joint so well.
