I was drunk enough to get through all of it, such a shame after the original

Deep Cover - Sean Bean, Bryce Dallas Howard, Ian McShane, Orlando Bloom.
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would!
Pretty silly but decent enough.
3 lines of coke out of 5 fake guns
I couldn't get through 20 minutes of this. Might be more that I struggle to watch movies on TV these days.
Megan 2.0: Funny action comedy, getting a bit of a kicking but I think some of that is down to people expecting a horror movie. Filmed in NZ.
Jurassic World Something: The latest in this series, pretty average but not unwatchable, star Scarlett Johanssen.

It was a Blumhouse movie that made $180m so unsurprising it got a sequel. Likely wont get another though as this one is underperforming.

I really liked the first but turned off within the first 10 mins of the sequel.
I think I just find it difficult to suspend disbelief when 140lb women are taking hits from full-grown mercs, shrugging them off and throwing them around like ragdolls. Even if they're immortals.

Jurassic World Rebirth
Once you suspend any critical faculties (yeah I know ... dinosaurs ... ) or any pretense that this had anything to do with Jurassic Park, but was actually Indiana Jones meets Tomb Raider meets Jumanji it becomes quite enjoyable.
Forget the gaping plot holes (i.e., how the hell is the electricity still working?) it's a movie about beautiful people adventuring around the tropics seeking out monsters while channelling Avatar and Avatar sequels and reimagining scenes from the original.
Pretty sure it will struggle at the Ocars but an enjoyable way to spend a rainy Sunday morning.
3.5 demented seagull looking things out of 5 why does that creature look like the Predator?

Interesting. It's getting rave reviews in the press here and was going to give it a try. Will report back.

Rogue One
Having finished Andor S02 - decided to watch this. Had to split it over three nights due to - simple drunkeness/tiredness N1 and then Murica's birthday drunkeness N2.
I know it gets love. And I enjoyed it. But - by fuck, there's a whole heap of shit in there that don't make much sense.
I appreciate the "feels" of it - fairly well done; but for all the shit the other NerdWars movies get - this one was just as bad. Less fodder for the loco "they're trying to turn my children gay!" crowd - - but for the more sensible "that's just ridiculous" - plenty.
Will copy/paste into the crazy dedicated Star Wars thread tomorrow if/when I can be bothered.
BTW - Titwatch of zero.
I would give up (nearly) all my coke at a hollywood party to a director who gave a blood-oath to do a good StarWars movie with positive TitWatch. -

I've got my nerd hat on ready to explain.......
-
@MN5 Fuck that. I knew I was going to get that response from one of you fucking nerds. It was more a general vibe.
But as an example: Why the fuck would the only way to control the comms to be from a console on some random ledge sticking out from the top of the tower?
And some other shit earlier on. That I can't remember, because there was a zero titwatch to keep me engaged. Shit franchise. Will watch the next... just in case. -

I'm going to ignore that other dig and put it down to drunkenness.
Star Wars
iswas the best franchise ever. -
@MN5 Shit - I just read what I typed - "Shit franchise" - yeah, that was indeed a moment of drunken frustrated madness. Apologies.
And in reciprocal magnamity - I'm going to assume you accept your justification around the ONE example I used of "this don't make a lick of sense" was ironic. al. -

In honour of Michael Madsen RIP…..
I decided to watch Species…..
It’s a pretty B grade flick but does have its good points. The best two being on the stars chest.
Natasha Henstridge could not possibly be hotter and her tendency to get nude is too awesome for words.
Madsen has some cool lines and swagger as always.
‘Tell him he’s about to copulate with a creature from outer space’
Ben Kingsley was a cock, Alfred Molina was annoying.
What the fuck was up with Forrest Whittakers character the empath ? Comes into a train carriage with a dead woman, blood everywhere and an alien cocoon….
‘Something bad happened here….’
Yeah no fucken shit.
Did I mention how good Natasha Henstridge looked ?
2.5 hot aliens out of 5 search and destroy missions
Let's face it, the scenes with Madsen et al only give you time to reload before the ridiculously gorgeous Natasha reappears. Without her this film is utter garbage, with her it's a farking classic.

Rave? Nah. But an enjoyable romp if you don't expect much. And can deal with the moralising against big pharmacy.
My daughter made me watch Kong Island. Think that level of entertainment.
