Bad Moms. Was OK, got a bit bored in the middle of the movie. Sisters was better.
Kubo and the Two Strings. Animated movie using stop motion animation rather than all computer generated. Animation was great and enjoyed it very much.
Last week watched The Dressmaker. Loved the wacky characters and bonus Hemsworth sans shirt. Very good.
Finding Dory. Pity we had to wait ten years for the sequel but if you liked Nemo you will enjoy this one, as did all of us.
The Nice Guys. This was a bit different with the 60s styling and one stage I thought it was too much wine as I lost track of what had happened (the scene with the giant bee). Good movie though.
Central Intelligence. Good fun with Kevin Hart and the Rock. _________________ If you are foolish enough to be contented, don't show it, but just grumble with the rest. - Jerome K Jerome |

Django and Hateful Eight were better films, despite the bloodshed.
Inglorious basterds was still entertaining, with a nice little change to the WW2 historical timeline. _________________ M I L L A N E 4 2 forever |

I thought the same at that point, but then when you realised later what was going on (when Ryan's looking for the ankle gun) it was laugh out loud funny, IMO, my sister & I were still laughing at that bit the next day.
I really enjoyed that movie.
And the Dressmaker - think Kate Winslet did a very good Aussie accent, and since she'd never even seen an AFL footy before did a pretty good handball as well. Judy Davis was also brilliant. |

Watched The Accountant last night. Stars Ben Affleck and the very cute Anna Kendrick. Action/Thriller, decent storyline, entertaining enough 7/10. _________________ Need a pen? try Pen Island. www. penisland. net |

Stui! You must get Hateful Eight queued up pronto! Stat! Schnell!
If you don't like it for some odd reason, log-in and tear strips off me!
Going back to late 2009, when I bought my Sony 46" LCD TV, the Kill Bill movies were the first two I watched on it. Now everybody got 55" TVs! _________________ M I L L A N E 4 2 forever |

I will have a look at the hateful 8, I liked the previews I saw, and i don't think I'll need to tear strips off you old son. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Stu, load up with the beverage of your choice, bags of munchies, and strap yaself in sir for 2-1/2 hours of revenge bloodshed from QT.
And they are a low bunch of pricks, these characters. _________________ M I L L A N E 4 2 forever |

Gotta say Tarantino has never done it for me – though I haven't seen anything of his since Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, so perhaps I need to give some of the newer stuff a try.
I saw (director of Basic Instinct, Showgirls and Starship Troopers) Paul Verhoeven's new film Elle the other day and wasn't that impressed. It sells itself as a transgressive black comedy and everyone's been raving about it, but in the end it seemed pretty safe and formulaic to me. Isabelle Huppert is the best thing about it, even if she is playing essentially the same role she does in every other film.

Watched:
Inferno, Tom Hanks carries the movie and worthwhile watching. 5/10
The Magnificent Seven - Great movie. Not as good as the Original but worth watching. 7/10 |

Watch Django.
His leaning back to the old spaghetti westerns comes shining through. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |
