Watched Darkest Hour. Really enjoyed it, can absolutely see why Gary Oldman won Best Actor. Wish they'd finished with a few scenes showing what happened with Dunkirk, ie a huge victory for him rather than just some text saying most of the men were rescued, but other than that, all good.
Well, they did make a movie about it.

I don't. Layers of plasticine and makeup did most of the work. He really just needed to adopt an accent. His array of work means he should have been rewarded long before now in my opinion. I consider John Lithgow's version in The Crown is better.

Watched Justice League
I liked it, but I think the problem with DC stuff is they seem to take themselves too seriously and try to be dark without a storyline to match.
They did try to add some humour in there like the Marvel stuff, but still not there.
Superman is still a douche.

Watched Red Sparrow and Game Night recently (have tickets I need to use by April so going to lots of movies at the moment).
Red Sparrow - Jennifer Lawrence is a Russian spy, you see her or her body doubles boobies (for those that want that) and Joel Edgerton is the US spy trying to convince her to be a double agent. Kind of ok, way too much plotting going on. 2.5 busted ballerina legs out of 5 sex spies.
Game Night: A comedy mix up of the movie The Game. No boobies but stars Rachel McAdams (hot and funny) and this black chick I have never seen before who was off the charts hot. Coach Taylor and Landry are in it as well, Landry playing the creepiest cop ever. Jason Bateman and Winston from New Girl are the main guys. Saw it in a decently packed theatre and everyone was cracking up most of the way through. 4 bullet holes out of 5 cracked eggs.

I'm trying to watch Gone Baby Gone, but jesus christ what is Affleck doing with that accent? I've met plenty of people from Boston, and none sound even remotely like that.
I'm surprised you can understand anything he fucking says.

@catogrande I'm watching on amazon prime and they have subtitles in every language except English! If ever they were fucking needed ...

Daddy's Home 2
Good cast.
Amusing, cringe worthy, silly but I liked it.
3 step dad's out of 5 awkward dad moments

Jumanji - cool movie.
thought they got the casting pretty good, Johnson & Hart work well together, Black was very good as a teenage girl and the other chick is tidy.
I see another movie is already in the pipelines.

12 Strong - movie about special forces in the opening days of the Afghan War (after 911). Like a lot of their Iraq/Afghanistan movies it would be a good action movie if a non US editor was allowed to have a cut before it is released to non US theatres. Some good action, but way too much cheesy build up.
