Movie review thread...

@jegga I think I'm looking forward to that one. The First World War fascinates and repels me at the same time.

Same here, I just checked out the Gallipoli exhibition in the weekend at the national museum. mrs Jegga teared up when she saw the story about the guys on the machine gun who kept the thing going to support their mates and in the end there was a pile of bodies as men dragged away the dead and took their place till they were killed and their mates replaced them. https://www.tepapa.govt.nz/visit/exhibitions/gallipoli-scale-our-war

I'm watching a documentary about a guy who did 50 "iron men" in 50 states in 50 days.
This guy is insane!! He's operating on 5 hours sleep a night!!
Also, people on social media are the fucking worst.

@mariner4life well, I suppose there's just more homo-erotica choices around these days....

The Revenant. Leo bags an Oscar for being mauled by a bear and playing half dead for most of the film. Tom Hardy should have gotten the gong. That guy is amazing.
Was entertaining enough but was almost GoT like in its level of absurdity. -

Eastwood's The Mule.
Did I sleep through the bit where Clint got the blood on his face and arrested?2 this is an ok film out of 5 wtf happened after the cartel found him late with deliveries
Clint is the coolest mother fucker to ever walk the earth but even I thought this movie was a bit of a bridge too far, sort of a "why bother?" moment in his career, he's 90 next year.
Still decent enough overall though.

Probably. But in saying that every single other one apart from the awful Death Proof have some sensational scenes and dialogue.

I think we all did our Tarantino ranking in this thread a year or so back. IIRC it's in my top 3 with Pulp and Inglorious Basterds (but I may be 100% wrong such is my faulty memory).

Apt description.
I wish Michael Madsens schedule hadn't clashed and he coulda played Vincent Vega, as awesome as John Travolta was I suspect Madsen woulda been even better.

Looking forward to this
Watched this today (started about 40 minutes after scheduled start time and was longer than stated so I missed the start of the Magpies game) and thought it was pretty good despite some obvious budgetary restrictions and an old school war movie feel to it.
Very anti the brass, makes them look like buffoons, whereas all the other officers are made to be top blokes. They put a lot of emphasis on 'six' whenever a Kiwi was speaking.
I'll have to watch the doco now and then do some reading for the 'real' story.

Hobbs and Shaw might be the most fun I've had at the movies in years. Ridiculous fun

The doco is good, the book I read was a bit critical of some of the brass but really complimented the way some of the ncos and lower ranked officers integrated the conscripts with the regular force men to the point of insisting they were called short term regulars instead of conscripts .

Finally got around to seeing Venom last night. Have to say, not as bad as i thought, it was actually kind of fun. The Eddie/Venom chat was the obvious highlight
