<p>Beautiful and Twisted (aka The Novack murders) - Rob Lowe. Paz Vega. Candice Bergen</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Based on a true story of Lowe, the son of a hotel billionaire, who falls for the hot stripper Vega. Short (about 80mins excluding credits) sharp story, unsure how close to actual facts, but I liked it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also see Paz Vega is in a good few movies being made, that is good.</p>

<p>Just googled Paz Vega. Now d'ling her catalogue to, err, help practise my Spanish...</p> -
Went to see Jurrasic Park yesterday, good fun movie, TR Jnr enjoyed it. <br><br>
Jessica Chastain looked hot in it...<br><br>
My only issue is after the first 3 movies, when will they realise you can't keep these dinosaurs contained, something is bound to go wrong! -
<p>Due to a combination of bad weather and the inability in my old age to drink two nights in a row and being on a plane 4 different times I watched a few older (but still recent) movies while up in Raro.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pride: The movie about the gay and lesbian group who supported the striking Welsh miners. This was a pretty funny movie with the culture clash stuff with the Welsh women and the gay guys often being laugh out loud funny. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Theory of Everything: An ok movie that actually could have been good. After watching Redmayne in Jupiter Ascending I was pleasantly surprised to see that he can actually act. My issue with this movie is that they seemed to skip over parts and the narrative point of view kept changing and not for the better. I know it was based on the wife's story, but at times it was his story and at times it was hers and it didn't mesh well. Also, the children went from being prominent parts of the story and then were non existent until the final scene.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>While We're Young: Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts are a middle aged couple who hang out with a younger couple. Was pretty good, but then again I've always had a thing for Naomi Watts and Amanda Seyfried was the younger girl in it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enough Said: One of James Gandolfini's final roles alongside Julia Louis-Dreyfus. They play an elder couple who get together and Louis-Dreyfus' character is the masseuse for Gandolfini's former wife. It's kind of half a drama and half a farce. Was ok.</p> -

<p>Saw Jurassic World in 3D IMAX recently. The only way to see many (new release) movies I think.</p>
<p>Still, makes you thinkm this must be based on something, and with all the advances made in the noughties regarding DNA, forensic studies I can easily see something like this happening, Loved the bikes/pods and monorail.</p>
<p>Really, I would be the first one there, if there was a Dinosaur Park like that in existence! </p> -
<p>Yeah those gyro-pods were awesome!! </p>

<p>It wasn't as bad as the other two but it was still bad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nightcrawler: Was pleasantly surprised by this film. Jake Gllynhoweveryouspellhisname puts in an amazing performance. His character reminded me of several people I've worked alongside and the story doesn't go the way you expect it to. 9/10</p> -
<p>Devil: Bunch of people trapped in an elevator and you can guess who is among them. Like cluedo for religious people. It is a M.Night Shalalala movie but if you treat it as a b-grade horror flick it isn't that bad.</p>

I'm still pissed off with that prick for Mallrats and Pearl Harbour and Reindeer Games and Jersey Girl and Gone Girl and probably every other film I've been unfortunate enough to see with that "actor". I believe his directorial efforts are better, but I can't comment on that. Hopefully Superman kills him. -
Are you his brother or something?<br><br>Google George Reeves, i.e the original Superman. That's how miscast Affleck is.

<p>Why? I'm not looking for reasons to not like it. That is just weird</p> -
Nothing weird about it, just going on past form. <br><br>
Please....dont take my wings. -
<p>Furious Seven - usual suspects, plus Kurt Russell, Djimon Hounsou, Jason Statham and the oh so hot Nathalie Emmanuel (think she is one of Nepia's faves) </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I liked it, plenty of BS crashes, car chases and explosions, lots of fighting, all you need is some nekidness...just a big action film with lotsa car chases in awesome cars than a movie about cars and illegal street racing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thought the end was a nice nod to Paul Walker too.</p>
