For the record, Barbie - was way overrated, my wife and I thought it might be good with all the hype, but an overly musical fluff piece with a few funny gags but ultimately dragged on too long.
I do look like comic book genre, I still dont mind some of the Marvel movies, but there have been a few post end game failures. I actually thought for DC the Flash was better than I was expecting.
Lots of movies delayed by the strike, think I read only maybe Deadpool might be completed for next year for Marvel, the remake of Blade also pushed to 2025
in saying that haven't been to a movie theatre in about 6 months

I hope this is good. Crowe is perfect for playing a fat bastard that used to do impressive things. Herman was a WW1 ace
Nuremberg: Russell Crowe and Rami Malek to star in film about Nazi trials
Historical drama will focus on US psychiatrist tasked with deciding if Hermann Göring and others were sane enough to face justice

Post of the year.
It’s like he looked at latter day Marlon Brando and then thought “hold my beer”
( not too long, he’ll want to chug it then and then plow through about 20 more after that )

Göring had a chin at the Nuremburg trials. Going to take some discipline or powerful CGI to achieve that.

I thought black was supposed to be slimming ?

Russ missed out on the part of Himmler but got Goring instead

Apparently the new John Woo movie is good.
Disappointing. Just watch Hard Boiled or The Killer or Bullet in the Head or Face Off or even Broken Arrow.
Violent Night was much better.
Just make your protagonist an ex special forces dude. The learning to become a bad arse through watching vids etc was fucking stupid and took up the bulk of the runtime. -
Matriarch (2018)
British low-budget horror film I saw on a late night horror slot and recorded it on the off-chance it wouldn't be shit - and it wasn't. Great premise, some good acting and some genuinely unsettling moments. Bit of a hidden gem.
Just under 4 rabid werewolves out of 5 Ed Geins

A solid effort from Netflix
Great cast, good acting, interesting storyline
3.5 Friends out of 5 foes

I've heard rave reviews from several people. Might be our pick for the Christmas Eve movies. Surprised its IMDB score is so low.
-
@MiketheSnow Slow to start with, but got better as it went. Cinematography was a bit irritating and needlessly showy/ clever. The consistent use of ominous music was irritating.
I get the feeling the deer were added just to ensure the audience were held in suspense but their inclusion and behaviour made little sense in the end. -

i saw a head line about a "huge plot hole everyone missed"....have saved it as want to see after we watch it....probably just clickbait

The interplay between the lead characters was good and the human side of the plot written and acted really well. Agree on the cinematography and the weird angles used though.
4 Family Weekends out of 5 Holidays from Hell
I thought the deer sequence might have been about humans coming together to support each other when in danger. It contrasted with the conversation between Ruth and Amanda on how terrible they thought humans really were. -

In the last week I've watched the previous four Indiana Jones movies in the lead up to seeing Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny for the first time tonight. The original three movies are still classics, and even Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was better than I remembered. I had forgotten that Pat Roach had multiple roles in the 1980s movies, even playing two different characters in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
The most recent instalment is definitely the weakest of the five, but was still a decent watch. No reason to watch it again though.
My ranking would be 1, 3, 2, 4, 5.

I’d reverse 4 and 5 but correct aside from that. Mutt just about makes the movie unwatchable. Fuck I hate that talentless fluffybunny who plays him.
The gulf between 1-3 and 4 and 5 is massive.
Pat Roach was the man, the scrap in Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the best movie punch ups ever. Was hoping for something similar in the latest one with that giant baddie. Not to be.
