    Fury (2014) - tanks in WWII.

    Solid film, great action sequences. Brad Pitt chewing scenery. Captures some of the insanity of war, but with an overlay of hollywood cheese.

    That said, good fun. A solid 4 Shermans out of 5 Tiger tanks

    Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

    Just exactly how far up his on ass is QT? He made a nearly 3 hour movie that is about nothing.

    As far as i can tell, the whole thing is a vehicle to prove just how much of a cool motherfucker Brad Pitt really is.

    Oh, and that Margot Robbie is a decent looking sheila

    i was pretty bored past halfway.

    @mariner4life yeah, my dislike of not finishing a movie once started only just outweighed my boredom, acting was great....it was just a story that didn't need to be told...would rather have seen what he could have done with Star Trek

    looked good, great acting, sounded good. but that's it. Not even that QT snappy dialogue. it just meanders along.

    apparently you have to love a certain period of Hollywood to really appreciate it.

    A few genuinely outstanding scenes ( all involving Brad ) I do remember that much, but yeah also some seriously meandering bullshit too. I've only seen it once, will have to see it again to assess where it sits.

    I love that film and don't love that certain period of Hollywood.

    I'm a fan of up his arse QT though.

    Shoehorning Zoe Bell into every movie is beyond cringeworthy though, what the fuck is up with his fascination with her ?

    TBH, she's never a problem for me and clearly QT just likes her.

    @nepia yeah ditto, I don't see what the problem is? Some people just like to get offended eh... 😉

    Watched Villains. Couple on a car journey crime spree end up trying to burgle the wrong house. Prolly could have been much better than it was, but was a decent enough watch for most of it. Feel like they phoned the ending in though as ran out of ideas.

    2.5 Kyra Sedgwick out of 5 is budget Julia Roberts.

    @mariner4life It's the first Tarantino movie I've enjoyed since Jackie Brown. I've watched it three times already, and I generally hate everything new.

    I felt there was a good 30mins that were unnecessary but the good bits were brilliant.

    Also Jackie Brown is vastly underrated.

    I rate it pretty highly

    I Care a Lot, starring Rosamund Pike and Tyrion Lannister

    I really enjoyed this - original plot, and well acted. Pike makes you properly squeamish at how cold she is.

    Lots of silly moments as well, but overall good fun.
