Falling Inn Love. (The NZ-set Netflix one)
Yikes. Ok, scenery is gorgeous, and a bunch of ex-Shorties got a paycheque. Other than that, ummmmmm. If you took a shot for every NZ slang term shoehorned in, you would die. The plot is beyond ridiculous (one contractor and one newbie renovate an entire derelict two-storey BnB...in two months.) Also, the small town folk do shit like offer a foreigner 90 day store credit to rack up bills to pay for renovation supplies. And they are all clumsy.
Don't even bother with this, it's not fit to smooch Always Be My Maybe's boots. Unfunny, terrible dialogue, idiot plot is not saved by aforementioned gorgeous scenery and a few cute moments.

But are there tits? That's the clincher for this audience.

@Crucial you are so basic

@Mokey This has been advertised on my Netflix home page for the last three days so I watched the trailer, and it's weird that in an era where we have two Kiwis starring in an Amazon show they use an Australian as the main male star of this.
The main actress looked a bit of all right ... I didn't see any boobies in the trailer sorry @Crucial.

Den of Thieves
I saw it described as "If Heat was directed by a can of Red Bull."
Good fun with some mid-aughts style douche bag cops.

Have been told that the Dark Crystal series Iis worth a watch so in preparation I rewatched the movie which is also conveniently on Netflix.
I hadn't watched it in some 30 years but those bad guys are still creepy af. A part from vague memories of scary bad guys and a glowing crystal I didn't remember much from that first viewing.
Pretty basic story, not as dark as I thought it was. For the most part the puppetaring has aged surprisingly well, naturally the special effects haven't. I guess it kept me entertained well enough for a 30 year old kids movie. Will be interesting to see how good the series is..Will be a test on the taste of the person who recommended it.

Horrible Bosses.
Epic performance from Aniston. Some great lines. Spacey pretty good as well, although a bit creepy seeing him like that since all the allegations on him broke. Pretty shitty plot really, saved by some great performances.
3.5 sexual harassments out of 5 lines of coke.

Bad rating. Jennifer Aniston alone should have bumped it up to 4/5

@Billy-Tell got around to watching Tuntematon Sotilas (Unknown Ssoldier)
Was a good watch, but long, so watched over 2 nights.

Once Upon A Time in Hollywood: A long watch but this film really grew on me after I left the cinema and is easily the front runner for next year's Oscars. Leo and Brad are great together but Margot Robbie's performance as Sharon Tate has the Best Supporting Actress award in the bag. The theatre scene where she watches her own movie was fantastic. The pitbull is the real MVP by the way. 4/5
IT Chapter 2: Stays true to the book but not as scary as the first chapter because it focuses more on the characters as adults. NZ actor Jay Ryan plays the grown up version of the fat kid and does a decent performance. The scene in the Chinese restaurant is the best scene. Also, Stephen King appears in the film which I liked since I'm a fan of his writing. 3.5/5
