Couples Retreat
Great cast. Excellent script. Hilarious movie about four couples on a week long relationship retreat.
Four fights out of four couples.
I wouldn't have picked you for this one. I'm a fan of it, I generally like VV (though I hated Swingers).

My wife loves it. I've lost count of the amount of times we've watched it. My favourite character has to be Jean Reno's pisstake of Steven Seagal.

Euro Vision - Will Ferrell
It’s shit but not absolute shit. It’s a good family movie and there are some laughs to be had. Ferrell is still capable of some very funny stuff but it’s just too little these days. Rachel McAdams has got some killer legs.

I really hated it. Just found the characters such dislikeable douchebags. Cringeworthy in a bad way
Gimme Dodgeball or Old School or Wedding Crashers any day

Old school is terrific. Another to add to Ferralls hall of fame to be honest. When he's on he's brilliant.

Da 5 Bloods
Certainly not without its flaws but I enjoyed it overall. Certainly considerably more than the Black Klansman. The banter between the main characters seemed extremely natural and you did feel for them and what they went through. I enjoyed the poor mans SLJ, Delroy Lindo, and his characters descent too. Subsequent viewings may change my mind but at the moment it’s a solid

Mad Max 2 - Road Warrior
I enjoyed it, sure it's old, but probably assisted by not alot of SXF.

The Current War
Story of the battle for supremacy in the battle between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) over which of AC/DC would become the standard form of transmission and literally light up America.
It's a very dark movie. Not its mood. The Director has a two hour long metaphor for how monumental and magnificent this new fangled electricity is going to be based on shooting almost every seen in near darkness. Even exterior shots are bleak and overcast.
Yes - it's that sort of movie. The major issue I had was I don't really care about any of the characters. Nikola Tesla has a supporting part but is wasted. Edison comes across as a knob, but the number of damns I give is zero.
Not a bad movie. I did learn why we have bayonet light bulbs (Edison is a knob) and it was nice to go to the cinema but very much a film with a flat battery for me.

@dogmeat I kind of liked it. If you throw science, history and some "interesting" personalities in. Just my thing really. Can understand why it might not be popular though.
It was a shame they didn't have more of Tesla but it was really about the currents.
Science wise we ended up with the correct result as a grid (at the time - I won't start on micro generation versing macro). The yanks f'd it up with voltage but again, at the time. End result has actually been that they were both correct I think. All airliners have both, they just serve different purposes, and DC is safer than AC in some regard. The movie displayed that I think.
4 ACs out of 5DCs on a Back in Black scale (which you didn't seem to like as a film style).
