I watched a classic tonight with my Mum. Strangers On A Train directed by Alfred Hitchcock. it was made in 1951, an old black & white film. I missed catching Hitchcock's cameo, well I didn't see his face... I was probably looking at my sweet & salty popcorn. I won't say where/what the cameo is just in case someone here wants to watch it. the movie has aged pretty well. I was picking up plot holes and pointing them out to my Mum. like ' oh, that wouldn't happen' but overall it's pretty good and the guy playing the wealthy sociopath was really good, Robert Walker. never seen him before till this film. 3.5/5

Can't remember that much about it except that they're at some theme park somewhere near the end. Pretty sure I enjoyed it.

Pretty sure I enjoyed it. yeah, that's the one. for a movie that was made 26 years before I was born, I quite liked it. some scenes went for too long, like the tennis match. I thought that could be cut shorter.

Top Spin
Cool little documentary following the best ping-pong players in the USA as they try to qualify for the 2012 Olympic games. These kids sacrifice a lot to follow their (and their parents) dream. The speed and agility of these players is highlighted with some nice super slow motion filming. I had know idea ping-pong could be so intense.

^ pretty much. Those Asians really take that shit next level. This one American kid travelled to China to be trained by the best and was quickly put in his place and came running home crying.

The Meg Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. that looks like a great popcorn movie. I watched ' Goodbye Christopher Robin' last night. 3/5, it's a pretty good film but not one I'd want to watch again.

I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore
It loses a bit of steam towards the end as it enters the wacky hilariously absurd dark comedy stage, but starts from and finishes at a very real place and was overall a good watch.

Game Over Man
Hahahaha
DieHard as a super comedy. Severed cocks, exploding heads, drugs, a Metallica tune. Lots of graphic violence. Very cool movie based off the show Workaholics. A definite Must see.

If you like SuperBad, Pineapple Express style comedies, you will laugh your ass off to this one. This is NOT a kids movie, don't worry.

Warcraft
Not bad. The story was way deeper then I expected and interesting enough. Some shity acting with a few characters, but the CGI was really well done and the dark magic undertones where satisfying. I like the occasional Fantasy movie and this one kept me watching. More interesting then LOTR by far IMO.
Worth a watch if you like orcs and stuff.

Warcraft ... More interesting then LOTR by far IMO. what the? did you get hit on the head recently? Three Billboards Outside Ebbing wherever the feck it is... the best parts of the movie are in the trailer. I wish they wouldn't do that. at least give me a laugh that I don't know about. plus the ending ticked me off I don't mind that they don't know who killed her daughter. but don't drive off to get some bastard who's probably a rapist and not let me see what happens. that's a lame thing for the director to do. he should of had them find the guy and we watch as they interrogate him... then end on Frances holding up the shotgun. so then we don't know if she kills him... that would've been better. not a ffecking drive off to Idaho crap.

You shut your mouth bunny, Three Billboards was the best movie of the year. Frances was great but you don't leave an audience hanging like that. I didn't expect them to solve her daughters murder but when Frances and Sam Rockwell go to get that bastard that threatened her. movie fades out and I knew it was going to end like that as the music started to play. my ending is better.

The movie ended the way it did because The idea is that they probably didn't even end up trying to go after her daughters rapist. The whole theme of the movie is about turning the other cheek and not fighting fire with fire. Like in the hospital scene where the guy helps the guy who beat him up. Not saying the rapist should get away with it, but let justice take its course and don't become so filled with hate and let it ruin your life is basically what the message of the movie is. In that ending scene the lady is sort of finally letting go of all the hatred and starting to move on with her life and finally be at peace.

Murder Party
Very low budget, 80's style horror/comedy. Was OK, nothing great. Had some good laughs, some jokes that went on too long, and a lot of blood splatter. This dorky guy finds an invitation to a murder party on Halloween and goes only to find out that he is going to be part of an artistic project involving his gruesome death.

Everyone should go watch Sleepaway camp. Terrible low budget horror movie but the ending is insane. You can't fast forward throughout the movie or read anything about the ending or it will lose its punch.

I went and saw the Jimmy Barnes film last night. I would normally read the book first before watching any film adaption but as this is a true story and one I already know a part of I figured I would just head out and take a look. Man, the guy had it rough but growing up like that was not rare. Bad home life, abuse, alcohol and lots of dodgy people. A lot of his stories really hit home with me and took me back to my young days and recalling the tight spots us kids would find ourselves in, survive and move on, forgetting about it by the next day. Things could have gone real bad for some my friends and myself and I spent the rest of the night reflecting how close we were to being possible victims. BigBunny , did you post here about seeing this film when it first came out??

Deadpool 2. Very enjoyable popcorn movie. Some scenes are unnecessary and too long. Some jokes aren't funny at all and predictable. But overall it is a cool flick. The first one is better though. This one tries too hard.
