    @Rembrandt it looks very funny. The reviews have been quite polarizing

    Looks like The Guardian has panned Waititi's new movie, I mean what was he thinking making fun of Nazis?! That's tantamount to being an actual Nazi in 20currentyear!!

    A charming turn from the on-a-roll actor is the best thing about a thinly etched second world war satire

    Heh definitely on my must-see list now!

    I don't really like his movies but Guardian reviews are pretty worthless .

    The Balkan Line - a movie based on/dedicated to the secret operation to capture the Slatina Airport in a province of Kosovo after the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.

    Is a pretty decent action flick, although the copy I had, subs were pretty poorly translated with some of them not making any sense at all, while others you got the gist of what was said.

    Falling Inn Love. (The NZ-set Netflix one)

    Yikes. Ok, scenery is gorgeous, and a bunch of ex-Shorties got a paycheque. Other than that, ummmmmm. If you took a shot for every NZ slang term shoehorned in, you would die. The plot is beyond ridiculous (one contractor and one newbie renovate an entire derelict two-storey BnB...in two months.) Also, the small town folk do shit like offer a foreigner 90 day store credit to rack up bills to pay for renovation supplies. And they are all clumsy.

    Don't even bother with this, it's not fit to smooch Always Be My Maybe's boots. Unfunny, terrible dialogue, idiot plot is not saved by aforementioned gorgeous scenery and a few cute moments.

    Ok, for my sins (I got out-voted, although TBF I was curious to see how bad it was) I watched this movie.

    Oh my god it's awful - for all @Mokey mentions above and more. For one they live in the most bustling rural town ever that somehow has a bus stop on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. Seriously it's so bustling that the local cafe is always packed and any town shot has multitudes of people walking around the streets at any given time.

    You can hear the Aussie dude doing his best Kiwi accent, TBF most of the rest of the world will have no idea, but they shoehorn that he went to Uni in Oz just in case I presume. I think the Aussie probably said 90% of the above mentioned Kiwi slang.

    Presumably showing how rural it is, no shop in the town has a cash register made after 1930 and none of them have eftpos. This is despite the fact that the "Inn" way out in the sticks has high speed internet and half the characters have iPhones.

    Listen to @Mokey and don't be a dumb arse like me and watch it out of curiosity. The chick is hot though.

    Luc Besson is a one-trick pony but it's a good looking pony which moves well.

    @Snowy It's the singer Christina Milian. Find a still shot/music vid and save yourself the agony of the movie.

    My wife has seen the preview for this and has decided we should watch it. I'm doing everything I can to convince her otherwise but she won't listen. How do I stop her?

    @No-Quarter Do what you must. Nothing is as bad as this movie. All she'll get out of it is the 3 second shirtless dude moment, but that can be found online. Seriously. SAVE YOURSELF.
