Jurrasic Park 3
Much better than the 2nd, but still nowhere near the heights of the first. Sam Neill carried the film. Awesome that the main dinosaur was a Spinosaurus, those things were bad ass.
3.5 fake billionaires out of 5 talking raptors.
Want to rent Jurrasic World but it's only available to buy on Google Movies... grrr why do they do that?
I didn’t know there was a Jurassic Park three till my son got into dinosaurs, imho there isn’t a dud in that series. I enjoyed all of them .
Fair enough, anything with Dinosaurs eating people is always going to be awesome. Just thought the 2nd was more comical than thrilling, and it's tough to beat the 1st as that has the best story line.

Stars Will Smith as a world weary street smart cop, Joel Edgerton (it astonishes me how he gets gigs) as an Orc from Avatar, and the girl from the Swedish (better) version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
There's a reason this went straight to
the DVD binNetflix. Whoever wrote this crap simply had a movie marathon and stole all the best bits of other movies and still couldn't come up with anything good. Best watched on a wet winters day after you've caught your dick in the zipper.I actually enjoyed it. My expectations weren't high after the reviews and I was never expecting more than what it was. Simply a buddy cop movie in a weird set up. A Lethal Weapon/LOTR mashup.
Watched it once, won't watch again, but it was good light entertainment. -

Agree with you there, probably a good idea to take the second one in a different direction while still retaining the dinosaurs eating people angle. The dog kennel scene was pretty good .

Finally got around to watching John Wick, fuck what a cool fucken movie.
Its like watching your mate playing a first person shooter online and just killing it, popping Ruskies with ease.

Haha yeah, and the parents blaming each other for the kids sleeping problems was relatable.

I also watched The Accountant and tha was fantastic. Thought it would be hopeless but throughly enjoyed it.
There is a Stephen King one out on Sky Box Office soon where it has a Gun Slinger and Matt McCaunaghey (SP) as the baddie. Looks good on preview but has anyone seen it?

@Hooroo @Virgil you guys know John Wick 2 came out last year right?
Yup mate that’s next on the viewing list
Considering how long it took me to see John Wick it should only be 2021 when I see chapter 2 -
Bladerunner 2049
I liked the original, not as big of a fan as some on here I expect.
But I quite liked the reboot, aside from being about 30mins too long, moved along at a steady pace, not the rapid break neck speed that some movies like to drag you along at, but also always something going on.
Ana de Armas and Sylvia Hoeks are both nice to look at

The Florida Project.
Holy shit, this is not the feel good movie of 2018. Basically a look inside the lives of Ferals living in a seedy motel near Disneyland, most of the cast apart from Willem Dafoe are no names but there’s some incredible acting performances in it.

@virgil 3 should be out by then.
Ha caught John Wick : Chapter 2 earlier than planned.. last night
Great watch, up there with the first chapter. Enjoyed how it went deeper into the world Wick had tried unsuccessfully to escape.
Great to see his new dog made it through this one, though the Mustang wasnt as lucky..4.5 dead wops out of 5 dead angry aussie lesbo MTV stars.

Go see Jumunji, especially if you have kids. It's fucking great, i can't believe how much i laughed.

Agree. The Doctor Who chick is also tidy as fuck.
The opening teenage glib dialogue was shitting me a little. Once the adult actors came in it started to rock.
