    watched Alita BAttle Angel on the plane.

    Wasnt a poor film, but seemed a fairly bog standard Sci-Fi with good SFX.

    3 cyborg limbs out of 5 Jennnifer Connely is still hawt.

    @MiketheSnow "An epic famine drama". Niche marketing.

    As famine dramas go that has to be the best. I haven't seen it but the last famine drama that I saw was ... well...not very memorable.

    A whole new genre.
    "And the Oscar for best actress for famine drama goes to..."

    Commemorating Long Tan Day

    This Sunday is the anniversary of the battle of Long Tan in the American Vietnamese War. It was a huge battle for all sides of the war and ANZAC troops were heavily involved.

    Hobbs & Shaw is only the latest example of the franchise’s not-so-thinly-veiled homoeroticism.

    Don't go in expecting GoT, it gets 4 roided up Samoan gym bunnies vs 5 shaven head british ex-military toughs.

    Fixed that for you.

    Also, I think your rating is 100% correct if you go into the movie in the right frame of mind as you note.

    If you go into it with your serious brain it's 2 that's Hawai'i not Samoa out 5 times the weather changes in 12 minutes.

    @jegga It's like 80s movies like Top Gun etc in the homoeroticism stakes.

    No bum touching, in other words. There might have been some sort of high five. Maybe. Yes Nepia, my rating referred to 4 Dwayne Johnsons. Nice to see Cliff not having to resort to playing Mexicans or Arabs for a change, this was a little closer to home

    Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: I straight up thought this was a great movie.

    I can see why some people might not like it as it doesn't appear to be plot driven and I know two people who have no knowledge of the Manson murders so it made little sense to them.

    It's very talky and it has quite rambling scenes (hmmm, I'm just describing Tarantino full stop) but I think it's a disservice to not acknowledge that they actually do build towards the climax.

    There's only one scene and characterisation that I thought was bad, has a famous martial artist and the scene seems a bit stupid and the actor is straight up terrible.

    4.5 flame throwers out 5 I don't like pet names but I can see you're going through something so we'll deal with that later.

    Sounds like they are. Disney only get 5% from that last film.

    So if I was Tom Holland’s agent I’d be getting him out of there ASAP.

    I say goddam...

    Pulp Fiction is fucking amazing

    The best Tarantino film by far

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

    Low benchmark for me. I doubt I'd have a Tarantino film in my top 100 films.
