The Accountant was ok, nothing special but an enjoyable watch, the little twist at the end was predictable, nothing new but still an ok film.
I'm just watching Don't Hang Up at the minute, a truly terrible horror film which is basically Saw + telephone and internet.
I just finished Assassin's Creed. It was well done and kept me entertained. The ending left it open for the usual sequel.
Passengers definitely needed the Fishburne cameo, without him they wouldn't have known the ship was funked which justified the weirdo perverts decision to open her pod (as she would have snuffed it without knowing anyway) and gain redemption by saving everyone.
National Lampoons Vacation.
I love Beverley D'Angelo, I'd let her poo on me. These films age really badly. Whats a bit of casual racism/paedophilia amongst friends.
The role was essential to the plot but it seemed they wanted to pad the movie with stars to sell it.Quote:

Have you seen Daredevil (the TV show), Jessica Jones & Luke Cage? Ironfist will be next.Quote:

I've checked out 'Sin City: A Dame To Kill For' but haven't finished it yet. I really enjoyed the storytelling in the original 'Sin City' and I think that really set the table for the shows we see now. I haven't checked out 'The Spirit' yet either but it's done in the 'Sin City' style....I really wish Frank Miller would do 'The Shadow' because he has a knack for everything to do with that genre and that era.
Gotham is ok but the seasons are too long. The Punisher should be alright as he was pretty good on Daredevil. A Dame to kill for just didn't have that appeal of the 1st Sin City. I haven't read a comic for awhile but I used to love what Image were doing.Quote:

XXX return of Xander Cage. Lots of big names in the cast. Entertaining action movie. Nice to see Tony Jaa & Donnie Yen on the screen together.
Zootropolis excellent movie and jungle book there is only one Bill Murray.
My youngest was watching 'Sing' a few weeks ago. OMG there was so much singing (obviously) but geez even she was struggling. Neither of my kids really got into Zootopia. They enjoyed Jungle Book. I haven't sat down to watch that yet. A really good family movie was Pete's Dragon. The missus was a bit teary at times during that one.Quote:
