R.I.P.D.
Any movie featuring Deadpool and The Dude piques my interest. It’s not just a MIB rip-off as a lot of reviews have stated. I thought this was an entertaining movie and a fun watch. Kevin Bacon even makes an appearance playing another Bostonian.
3.5 coyotes out of 5 deados.
Oh, and Marisa Miller for the eye candy.
Worth watching for those cans alone....I've never heard of her but I think she might be my favourite ever actress

A really good watch
Galaxy Quest is on my annual watch list along with such timeless gems as
The Wizard of Oz
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Snatch
The Princess Bride
Midnight Run
First Blood
Out of Sight
The Quiet Man
Rio Bravo

So I'd never actually seen Waterworld until tonight.
Admittedly it's only halfway through.
But wow.
Just wow.
I watched Waterworld again a few years back and thought it was OK. Not great, but not the dud some say.
I laugh every time Dennis Hopper says "Don't just stand there, kill something!".

@Machpants it was short lived you are both safe, I suspect its just Val Kilmer sweaty that did it
Judging from recent pics of Val I suspect he'd get sweaty walking from the couch to the cupboard to get some more chocolate biscuits.
Tiniest bit harsh
Anyway
He was hot in Willow too....

Two disappointing movies over the weekend
Sicario: Day of the Soldado
A shit follow up to a decent movie. This has nothing of what made the first one good. It's serious men "being forced" to do serious things. Except, you know, develop a coherent story that you might actually give any sort of a fuck about. And then try to cover up for that with excess blood. The end is ridiculous.
2 dead mexicans out of 5 dead mexicans.John Wick 3
The two great modern day action movies are John Wick, and Taken. Both suffer from a run of sequals that get progressively worse. And this was pretty bad. The first had heart, the 2nd had less heart, but some cool set pieces. This was basically like watching someone play a video game on YouTube. Set piece to set piece. The last bit was like watching you move through progressively harder minions to get to the boss battle.
The worst bit? Watching fucking Halle Berry move through clearing a room even easier than John, suddenly made him seem much less badass
2.5 dead mooks out of 5 wait, that guy is younger than Keanu, why is he calling him "my son"? -

I watched John Wick 3 myself last night and Sicario 2 last week. Both have been on Sky Movies so I have recorded some films that interested me. I saw both of these at the theatre and agree they aren't as good as the first movies from the series. Halle's dogs are fuckin' cool though.

@mariner4life I think I gave the same rating as you for Sicario 2 in this thead when I watched it, but I 'm pretty sure I would have said I thought that Sicario 1 was overrated and not a masterpiece as many make it out to be.
I did a back to back re-watch of them both earlier in the year and I've decided I actually prefer 2. I think the Blunt character just weighs down the first one and the second functions better as a pure action film, despite it, like 1 having pretentions of being a weighty drama.
I've also seen JW2 since then, just before JW3 came out and I rated it higher than when I first saw it too. Looks like I'm going to be rating Extraction higher in a years time.
