Scarface
It's pretty flawed and Al Pacino plays such an unlikable arsehole but shit it's an all time classic. Definitely a pleasant surprise to sit and watch after scrolling Netflix. Some good moral messages about not getting too greedy, not to get high on your own supply and if you're the star of an otherwise quite realistic movie you can become Rambo/Commando when the script demands it ( or maybe the bad guys just happened to miss all his vital points ? )
In saying all that I have to give it 4.5 cockroaches out of 5 little friends

Right.. This is part Hawt, part movie review...
I'm working from home today, so stuck on 365days on Netflix to see what all the fuss is about whilst I'm "working" and child free.
The story line is actually pretty good, fed up girl "meets" mafia boss, lots of danger and drama, and although perhaps weak script, the acting is well... forgivable. Biggie cliffhanger too! Beautiful scenes around what looks like Taormina and a visit to Rome.One for you (Anna-Maria Sieklucka,and yes she's Polish @Snowy )
One for me
Jesus Michele Morrone , although I adore Italy I've never really been into Italian men but oh my...that man.
Both of them are much better looking in the film and obviously they are doing a lot of, ahem, intimate things.... 🤭No idea how I will concentrate now and already searching Prime for an English version of the books😂
5 Italians sleeping with the fishes out of 5 stereotypical fern polish girls. Loved it!

Target of Opportunity: The US navy SEALS and the murder of Jennifer Evans
Fuuucken hell. What a mesmerising and absolutely infuriating doco. Think making a murderer along slightly different lines. Fucken yanks.

The Outpost - based on the true story of an American base in Afghanistan...imagine you find the most obviously indefensible spot to put an army base, well that's where this is set.

Finally got to watch John Wick 3, just what i needed lastnight. Was late to catching these movies but glad I did. Just a superb mindless pleasure with ridiculous gory violence. Love it
The wife complained when she looked up from her book about it so that made it even better. Killing a man with a book in the library ffs. Not sure what I was more impressed with, his use of horses in the stables or Halle Berrys attack dogs.
You could watch all 3 back to back to back and not regret a moment of it.
Just crazy cool shit, 4 something of 5 something -
@Virgil JW3 is better than JW2 but the first movie is easily the best.
I'd like to see Keanu and Charlize reunite to do an action movie.
Speaking of mindless violence, I also watched Rambo: Last Blood a few days ago. Apart from the original First Blood, none of the others in the series will be remembered for acting, just good old fun action. You've got to give Sly his due for making a career out of mumbling his lines.

@R-L im not going to watch this movie but I will ask. I thought it glorified Stockholm Syndrome? Not the case at all?
Also funny how the story Beauty And The Beast is exactly that. I know Im not the first to bring that up but it's still funny.

Greyhound
The new Tom Hanks movie about an inexperienced U.S. Navy captain leading an Allied convoy across the Atlantic while being stalked by German U-boat wolfpacks. This has just dropped on AppleTV+, and I can understand Hanks' disappointment the public won't be able to watch on the big screen due to Covid-19. Plenty of action and suspense but felt a little incomplete due to its short length. Don't be expecting another Das Boot but it does depict the chaos and excitement on the bridge.

I’d give it a more generous rating than you, I thought it was really good and was impressed with the short running time. I liked that it was both tense but also moved at a fast pace when the action happened. The only issues I have was the awful CGI at the start, and some slight mawkishness at the end.

I have just watched The Old Guard. An enjoyable action flick but not quite as good as I was expecting based on the trailer. I will watch again though.
Good way to spend 120mins. Villain is a bit cartoonish with eyes way, way too close together. Charlize looks great.

The Festival
Odd British movie about a boring, insecure fella that splits with his missus and then goes to a festival with his bud to get over it. Pretty shit to be honest, but is kind of watchable. Has some odd scenes in it which are pretty unexpected

Monster - biopic of serial killer Aileen Wournos. One of those films I'd never quite managed to see
Astonishing performance from Charlize Theron - Christine Ricci was pretty good too. Pretty dark tale and absolutely riveting.

Target of Opportunity: The US Navy SEALs and the Murder of Jennifer Evans (2011) ⭐ 7.4 | Documentary, Crime, Mystery
I did enjoy it though.
