Love Wedding Repeat on Netflix.
This bastard movie lured me in pretending to be a mash up of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Sliding Doors and it is instead a pile of shit. The 'com' is entirely cringe, with about eleventy billion dick jokes. (One male character's every line is talking about his dick in comparison to the lead man's.) The rom is almost non existent. This had a great premise and murdered it. The cast and setting deserved better. This flick won't score you credits with the lady of the house, it's too stupid and unfunny and unromantic.
1 oh whoops we roofied the wrong drink out of 5 I'm not Scottish but wearing a kilt to a wedding in Italy so the script can have more dick jokes stars.

Cold Blood Legacy.
Similar in premise to Polar with Mads Mikkelson, this one stars Jean Reno, one of my favourite actors. So many good things about this movie on paper but on film it is a Shiloh Pitt. Zero worthwhile dialogue, no coherent plot, appealing continuity and the action sequences are missing out on any actual action.Watch this film at your peril.
5 levels of canard out of 5.

Don't be mislead by @Mokey - the movie is much worse than she says.

Not sure you have this ranking thing sorted, or you need to reword your summary...

@taniwharugby I'm lost on the ranking system, I'm sure it's obvious somewhere but this is a long thread
I'm also lost on fern upvote etiquette, sometimes I upvote just not to be rude..

yeah, i was plenty confused
I watched Alita Battle Angel last night, and you know what? I liked it. It's deliciously violent, and the animation looks amazing. Also, Jennifer Connelly. The teen love story was a bit naff, but overall i was impressed.
3 "surprise I'm a killer!" out of 5 "wait, this body isn't cut out for this"

@Nepia said in Re: Movie review thread...:
The Gentleman: A return to the London gangster style movie for Guy Ritchie(more Lock Stock/Snatch than Revolver) that I thought was an enjoyable couple of hours. Colin Farrell was hilarious in this, he has a smallish role but had me in hysterics the entire time. Quite a decent cast: Mathew McConaughey, Hugh Grant, Farrell, Henry Golding, Eddie Marsan and Charlie Hunnum.
I watched this last night, thought it was a good watch!
I have (had) a strong dislike for Hugh Grant as an actor, but thought he was superb in this, and as Nepia says, so was Farrell!

I'm watching this tonight
Watched Crocodile Dundee with the kids last night. It's dated as fuck, but still an entertaining watch. I always preferred the 2nd one.

We sat down to watch CD about 30mins ago until we realised it wasn't on Netflix - so went with Happy Gilmore instead

Behold Dune: A New Look at Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and More
Feuding royals. A deadly planet. Before Star Wars or Game of Thrones, there was this legendary story.
This is starting to look pretty interesting. Glad that's two movies too.
