    Nice to see something that is not a sequel or an existing franchise. He's turned this up to 11.

    Gladiator meets DnD meets star wars with Nazis

    I'm in

    "I don't want no trouble"---obviously nobody in Star Wars ever watches Westerns.

    I previously thought his greatest movie line was “you’re a big man but you’re out of shape and for me it’s a full time job” from Get Carter

    that wasn't Caine's greatest line that was Sly's to Caine, I thought.
    One of us is definitely having memory trouble!

    The sequel was "We Still Steal the Old Way" - not as good IMHO. Both are fun films, don't set out to be high art but have some great set-pieces.

    New Michael Mann:

    Bilge Ebiri  /  Dec 25, 2023  /  Movies

    In Ferrari, Adam Driver Is a Force of Steel and Death

    In Ferrari, Adam Driver Is a Force of Steel and Death

    Michael Mann’s long-gestating movie is elegant and restless, with a sense throughout that something horrific is lurking around each corner.

    Paul Schrader's Affliction (1997).

    Hadn't seen it since it was originally released in NZ (1998 or 1999?). Absolutely devastating, and the performances were great. Sissy Spacek was maybe overlooked, but she was so good in this. A true shame that there has been no blu-ray release.

    Nolte was overlooked for the Oscar for ... Roberto Benigni.

    5/5

    Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

    Nazis, Mads Mikklesen, time travel, re-discovered tombs, Harrison Ford playing a Grumpy Old Man. What's not to like? Really enjoyed this - great popcorn movie. Only complaint was the Short Round sidekick character which really didn't work.

    4.5 Dangerous Artifacts out of 5 Reincarnated Hitlers

    Pitch Perfect 2.

    Not seen 1, daughter watched, thought it would be shit so swerved. But I was tired last night so watched the sequel.

    Laughed. My. Ass. Off. Honestly it’s really funny, so many stupid moments and good lines. Rebel Wilson is just the wrong side of annoying / funny but the script saves her.

    4 split trousers out of 5 German techno groups.

    Real sleeper this one for me

    If you’re giving this such a great score then how do you rate the original trilogy ?

    Well, I'm interested in film and watch a lot of stuff by different directors etc, but you just can't beat a good popcorn movie.

    Speaking of popcorn movies, finally watched Fast X. (Fast and the Furious 10) .
    Actually not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Momoa actually has the personality to play a twisted villain. Fun, as long as not taken too seriously.. even if it is a part one movie. Story is always the same really
    3 impossible stunts out of 5 infinite sequels
