Knives Out which is a "who done it" murder mystery film. The film has loads of stars Daniel Craig (James Bond) plays a southern detective, Jamie Lee Curtis (Baps out in Trading Places), Chris Evans (Captain America), Don Johnson (Miami Vice) and Christopher Plummer (legend).

Uncut Gems is brilliant. It's out on Netflix. The previous movie these people did is decent as well.

How was it? I have been interested in the movie, but it's not one I'm expecting much out of what with no Kubrick and all.Quote:

So far it seems Apple isn’t doing much with Apple TV, I haven’t tried it myself but From what I’m reading it’s rather blah.Quote:

John Wick 1 was silly.

Good stuff right there.Quote:

Lawless (2012) 7.5/10
Superb cast with Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Guy Pearce, Mia Wasikowska, Dane DeHaan and Gary Oldman. Based on a true story.
The Last Witch Hunter (2015) 7.5/10
Vin Deisel is not a good actor, but others in the cast such as Michael Caine and Rose Leslie are much better. Nicely directed, good special effects, never a dull moment.
Within (2016) 5/10
Keeps one's attention, and has a good idea for a movie, but the story leaves too many loose ends and the characters behave stupidly in dangerous situations.
Occupation (2018 ) 5/10
Somewhat entertaining in parts and has a good cast, but I would not recommend this one. The story has too many inconsistencies and the direction is amateurish.
I still think people including Stallone give 5 a hard time. The music is horrible but with a directors cut and proper music I think you have a fair film. I like that it shows a man learning to adjust to life beyond glory in the face of hardship. He makes mistakes, but learns. It has much more story and depth than 3 and 4. 4 was a 90 minute film with a 20 minute fight, 20 minutes montage and 14 minutes James Brown/Creed dying. The worst one for me. Nothing there.Quote:

A death at a funeral, British version, was funny.
Instead of watching TV, I often watch a movie after getting home from work and having supper.
Annabelle: Creation (2017) 7/10
Well-written with a good cast.
Sobibor (2018 ) 7/10
Good locations and direction.
Devil's Gate (2017) 6/10
First part was very good, went downhill in the second half.
The Crucifixion (2017) 7/10
Very nice performance by the main actress.
The Bling Ring (2013) 7/10
True story, realistic and comical.
guns akimbo, reminded me of crank
John Wick 2 and 3 are silly. Just like Matrix the 1st was good and they go and spoil it. There is going to be number 4? Madness.Quote:

The story really did not make much sense but it had some memorial funny moments and good action scenes to make me care to watch it to the end.
the hunt
Been meaning to watch this. It's on the list.Quote:

Oh my God how fucking naive and gullible can one family be?!?!? That dude just manipulated the shit out of all those people. I mean hell yeah I feel bad for them, but at the same time I'm thinking ARE YOU INSANE?!?!?! Why are you allowing this predator to drag you like this? As the great philosopher George W. Bush once said...Quote:

Watched Ip Man 3 which had Mike Tyson in it and some of the best martial arts action in it that I have ever seen. The main storyline was overall weak but the side stories were more interesting and moving.
Ip Man 4 was when he was older and had the character of Bruce Lee in it. Ip Man got hit and hurt more as he has aged which made it more real. It had more shorter fight scenes in the film but not as good as the other films.
Van Helsing which is an old film now 2004 starring Hugh Jackman and a hot Kate Beckinsale was still very good and not dated.
The Secret Life of Pets 2 is very funny and worth a watch.
I need to line some films up.
I wonder if some films that were due for cinema release may be released to stream etc like they have with Invisible Man and The Hunt. 16 quid doesn’t seem too bad.
Wonder if they released Bond film for 25 quid how many households would pay ? They won’t because of the illegal streaming but this will be the future anyway.
I’d pay it for a cinema film I wanted to see.
The Hunt - funny satire about lefties and righties and social justice warriors and what not. Without the political aspect it's a fun killing spree type film as you don't when and where anyone is getting popped off.
Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel which is a film about ....time travel. There are 3 friends out drinking at their local pub, 2 nerds and a sceptic, who go on an adventure together. Has good funny jokes in it.
The movie wasn't as bad as some were saying.Quote:

Transformers 2, silly but Megan Fox is just awesome and can watch her all day.
You are a pervert
The cinematic affects in slow motion make the Transformer films a good watch. That is all I was commenting on and you are gay.Quote:
