My wife and I saw Trainwreck today. It's a scream,,,,well worth the money...

I hadn't been following the movie closely and really wasn't in much of a hurry to see it but my brother was far more keen than I was so we checked out a 3D screening. Overall a very, very entertaining movie with a good mix of laughs, drama, action and ties to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. The cast is all very good but Michael Douglas really anchors the movie and Michael Pena steals every scene he is in. The 3D is also quite good in this one with a few fun pop outs and a nice sense of depth for most of its running time. The movie has a lighter, breezier tone than most of these Marvel movies but still fits nicely within the larger world and, of course, there are a couple of post-credits scenes that should be checked out. Fun and highly recommended.

Yes - it had a similar tone to GotG, with not too many serious moments.
Took in a matinee showing of Ant-Man, and I enjoyed it greatly--it's simply unpretentious fun, minus the pain and gravitas we're supposed to expect in most super-hero movies today. C'mon, it's a dude in a suit who can shrink--lighten up! That said, it actually got me to feel sorry for the death of a carpenter ant. . .and I've hated those things since they tried to eat up one of my bathroom walls!
It's as stupid as it could be. Sharks attack Universal Studios, sharkna dos all start to form one big Sharknado, Fin meets his NASA dad played by Daid Hasslehoff and they go into space to shoot a laser at the giant Sharknado wall, then the Sharks come into outer space and Fin uses a lightsaber chainsaw to defeat them and then he and his pregnant wife (the most annoying person in history) go back to Earth in a shark. She gives birth inside a shark and cuts her way out using the chainsaw she has hidden under her robot hand she got from the second movie. Most entertaining pile of s*** I have ever seen.
) I've only seen the second Sharknado film and I too thought it
Was wonderfully, silly fun. I want to watch " Iron Sky" Nazi's
On the Moon, which sounds just as silly fun.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Loved it. My new favourite pixar movie. A very clever, interesting and moving film. Might be too complicated for kids though... but I'm an adult so yeah. I enjoyed it that much that I watched it twice.
It was pointed out to me today, that Disney's " Inside Out" is very like
The Numskulls, from the Beano. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Numskulls
I had totally forgotten about them, until reminded.

First time watching it, very impressed. Anthony Hopkins is great as Lector, makes me wish he was a Bind villain, as originally planned for Dalton's third outing.
Seriously. Go watch this movie! This movie kicks-ass. It's not a B- movie Spy movie, It's one of the best, funniest and smartest movies I've seen in years!

I saw this at the cinema too... my son went and saw Ant man.
Inside out was great... and very clever - and I agree, it might be a bit wordy for some kids, but there were some real laugh out loud moments!
My son thought Ant man was brilliant!
Came home and Layer Cake was on Sony TV... Love that movie - Daniel IS SO Bond, even in that movie -{
Going to watch CR tonight, on a 75" curved screen home entertainment system. Vespers are at the ready -{ :x

a bit of a home cinema, as the screen ( with HD picture) can be
Enormous.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Just saw Mission Impossible Rogue Nation, the most Bind like entry in the series and also the best. Everything about it is great, definitely recommend.
Sightly Terminator related, last week talking to a bloke in the cinema
He told me he was in with a bunch of young teens, on an adventure
Club holiday, he was helping to look after them and had taken them to
Terminator.
He'd gotten bored " You've seen one Terminator, you've seen them all"
and as heading out for a smoke, the funny thing I though
Was he sad the hardest part of looking after the teens was keeping them out
of each others rooms at night to " Stop them humping each other" ( his words) )
I just told him, you can't fight hormones.
With the new Terminator film, I'm waiting until it comes to DVD .
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
That was my plan, but a recently separated friend needed cheering up so we went to see it. I was prepared for the worst, but it was better than I expected. As chrisisall says, there's no way it would beat T1 or T2 but it does beat the next 2 films in the series. Arnie was just pure fun, but there was one MAJOR plot flaw I can't discuss without spoiling the film.
) a friend of mine who is obsessed with the Terminator movies
Sat me down and went through all the plot holes and paradoxes
Of the series once. stuff I'd never noticed or had even thought
about.

I went to a 10am screening of Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation this morning.
I'm not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but some of the plot points eluded me. I found myself yawning during certain parts of the film. The "agent going rogue to finish a mission because of an unconcerned bureaucracy and political infighting" theme is getting a bit tiresome for me.
To be clear, I enjoy watching movies. I do not, however, enjoy the cinema because of people who just won't shut up and have to discuss every thing that appears on screen, have to get up two or three times during the movie and brush their arse across the back of my head, or can't help but read every word that appears on the screen out loud. Which is probably why I don't like watching movies with my wife, arse comment notwithstanding.
All in all, it's worth a viewing, but I would have preferred to wait until it came up on Redbox so I could rent it on the cheap and watch it on my old rear projection TV without all of the annoyances.
On my own Bond Girl scale, I'd give it a Barbara Bach.

Very poor and very, very dark ... and I mean the lighting, not the content !!!

Liam Neeson as an ex cop, investigating a series of killings. Nothing
special, an average thriller, with no surprises.
I meant to get that at some point though probably not worth bothering with then.

Yup, my feelings too. It's nowhere near as bad as it could have been (or as the critics said).
