i dont know what to make of that review, is it satire, are you really old..
Well, I did first read Dune in 1973...
It was much, much better than the awful David Lynch version, but I still struggled with the opening 20-25 minutes

Poor Things
Lasted 30 mins
Wasn't prepared to see this one out like I did Barbie.
From the 30 mins I endured anyone who thinks that Stone's performance is the best of the year is as deluded as the characters in the movie who think her character Bella Baxter is the most beautiful woman they've seen.

Latest Ghostbusters - I can't tell if this was an actual bad movie or just an average movie. Either way it wasn't good.
@MiketheSnow Early on I was wondering how they made an attractive actress look so unattractive.

Tossing up whether to see it. Very mixed reviews. But, how about Ernie Hudson. Holy sh1t!

Yeah, he looked much better aged than Akyroyd and Murray.
If you're a big Ghostbusters fan it might still tick the boxes for you.

Tbf Murray has looked like shit for 50 odd years.

I had the misfortune to be exposed to 30 minutes of the Road House remake. What made-for-streaming, cheap, shitty looking garbage. Slow as fuck, under lighted and just terribly filmed, the women were all absolute dogs. I bet nobody told another man that they used to "fuck guys like you in prison."
The original was shot by the great Dean Cundey, and the rest of the crew was from Die Hard. It was deliberately over the top, knowingly camp and homo-erotic as it tweaked action cliches, full of great performances, and the violence kept escalating until it almost turned into a slasher movie. Fight choreographers were brought in from Hong Kong to make the most of Swayze's dance derived grace and acrobatics.
Fuck everyone involved in that new slop.

A very enjoyable watch
3.5 'I did not know thats' out of 5 'to be or not to bes'
-
Really nicely paced with some very dark humour
3.5 'don't buy any long playing records' out of 5 'let the music play'

@Tim did you stay until McGregor made an appearance?
Thought the CGI was shit, especially with the car crash and the 'croc', was really odd how they all referred to the alligators, as crocs, cos they have Crocs in Florida.
As to McGregor, was cartoonish and like GTA character the way he moved with pumpkins under his arms.
Almost like they deliberately made it shit.

Perhaps in homage to the original?

Oppenheimer
I’ll freely admit to not being the sharpest tool in the shed so I knew I wouldn’t follow any of the “science” side of things in the slightest but by Christ the rest of it absolutely fucken bored me to tears.
Very disappointing, I often love War era movies but this to me was just rubbish. I think I could only manage about half of it so won’t give it a rating.
I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised, whilst some absolutely brilliant movies have won best picture Oscars it’s fair to say some absolute Turkeys have as well.

That is a very refreshing review. Haven’t watched the film yet but it is on my list. Sorry WAS. Still might watch it but these days I’m looking to be entertained, not educated.
I have a wife for that.
