That Sherlock Holmes film with those 2 looks terrible.

Agree. I went into Step Brothers thinking it would be shit and was pleasantly surprised.

So I finally got round to watching The Dirt, it's actually a pretty bad movie, the voiceover is initially corny at best and laughable at worst the production makes it feel like a TV movie from Hallmark, some of the acting is pretty dicey, and despite being based on a book there seemed to be little actual narrative.

In saying all that it was still a decent enough way to spend a couple of hours.

@Nepia I think I called it at the time a "TV movie with tits". Enjoyable enough.

@MajorRage John C Reilly has got to be one of the best comedy actors. Little things like saying "raper" instead of "rapist" just crack me up.

@Tim I first become aware of him in Boogie Nights. I thought he was very Bill Murray-ish. Still do. Far from a bad thing.

Rambo gets a "Hard R" rating.

Toy story 4 was good, few laughs for the grown ups too. Wasn't happy about the ending... How dare Woody.
Excited for Lion King!!! Although these Disney remakes tend to disappoint me somewhat, I'll give it a chance.

Plan is to watch Top Gun, never seen it and not sure why as it seems my jam, and interested in seeing the new one because who doesn't love seeing old actors trying to be cool again.

@mariner4life maybe I have who knows, but if I haven't watched a film at least three times have I even watched it to be fair? I will watch it, I kind of assume Tom Cruise films are never that good so dodge them.

I struggle to believe there are people of a certain age in the western world who haven't seen top gun at least 5 times.

I haven’t seen it that many times.

It’s no Commando....

@MN5 yeah..... Not seen that either.

I fully agree a gal of my age should have seen it and maybe I have at some point but I can't tell you what it's about in detail, planes? And that take my breath away song I think.

Yep. In my top 5 favourite movies of all time. I would have to think about the other 4 though.

I watched another Stephen King-Frank Darabont film last night, The Green Mile. I had forgotten what a very good movie that is too. Sam Rockwell is brilliant.

It should have won some awards but was up against American Beauty.
