@voodoo yep, put my hand up there too!
@Kirwan I thought Negan was fantastic in his first season, but after that...might have been the 2nd season after he arrived I gave up, which was at least a few years ago.
I gave up after the first Negan season as he was so tiresome a character and the storylines reached peak stupid.
:::
Apparently he became almost a "goody" in later seasons.

The Walking Dead went on FAR too long, As others have said Negan went from awesome to fucken ridiculous in one season.
Did he die in the end ? Actually I no longer care......Like GOT that part of my TV watching life is in the past never to be seen again.
I’d happily rewatch Banshee, Penny Dreadful and Breaking Bad though.

The Little Things
It was either that or Wrong Turn and the other half won the coin toss and chose. Not too bad, good atmosphere and the three main actors ( Denz, Rami and J Dog ) are all terrific but it’s far too much like Seven ( and not as good ) and the ending left me a bit unsatisfied overall.
Worth a watch but not outstanding.
3 little things out of 5 big things.
Stay tuned for next weeks review, God bless cheap night at the movies.

Sentinelle. English dubbed (badly) version of the French La Sentinelle. Female special forces soldier in gone wrong operation in the ME goes back home. Sister gets drugged and raped. Soldier goes on the rampage, heaping revenge on rich Russian rapist. Olga Kurylenko is the lead, looking hot and fit as a butcher’s dog. Mild sapphic sex scene. No tits. Poor story, writing and acting.
2 hot Olgas out of 5 predictable plots.

Watched the Foreigner on Netlfix tonight. Jacky Chan plays the father out for revenge who has a hidden past, Pierce Brosnan channels his inner Gerry Adams to play a Northern Irish politician and one time IRA member. Set in London and Belfast, the movie has a gritty feel to it, Chan is quite the opposite to his usual smiling Rush Hour style character. Great action, suspense, and a high octane ending. A solid 4 soda bottle bombs out of 5 viet cong style death traps

@kirwan do we really need another zombie film? I know I'll watch though.
This is quite fun....

This review makes it sound quite compelling. There’s tonight’s movie sorted. Brosnan is actually pretty decent when he’s not being James Bond.

Boss Level:
A video game repeat the same day/levels action film. An action Groundhog Day, or a more game orientated Edge of Tomorrow.
This was actually a fun action film. Stars Frank Grillo, Naomi Watts, Michelle Yeoh and Mel Gibson.
Yep, enjoyable film.
3.5 I am Guan Yin and I did this out of 5 K.Os

I've mentioned it before, The November Man is good fun if you like modern-day Pierce Brosnan. It also has Olga and is directed by another Kiwi, Roger Donaldson.
The godfather of NZ cinema. Directed & produced Sleeping Dogs - the first Kiwi feature film in decades and the first to be distributed internationally.
Still holds up today as a pretty OK film

I want someone to re-make Sleeping Dogs today. What was funny when first watching (on video/TV in the late 80s/early 90s) was I kept thinking that if it was made after 1981 they could have just substituted footage in from the Springbok tour.
Donaldson is also an Aussie poach for us to balance out the others going over the ditch.
I think his best film is No Way Out.
Also, I thought Brosnan was fine as Bond. Goldeneye is still the best Bond movie of the after Moore/Connery era.

Yeah it has plenty of tension, a great plot and Will Patton was excellent.
But The Worlds Fastest Indian is his best film for me.
