Hidden Figures

great all around movie set in the early 60's about a trio of black female mathematicians that worked for NASA and their struggle for equal rights and their contribution to the space race

really enjoyed it and as a NASA / Space buff it was of interest to me
well worth a watch
also a good one to watch with the Mrs

9/10

Sicario - 7/10

FBI, CIA, Mercs, Mexican drug Lords

Had some fantastic bits, but also plenty of slow paced, dragged out scenes as well as some WTF.

Good film, could have been excellent.

Hunt For The Wilderpeople - 8/10

Yeah, another typical Kiwi film of quirky rebellion and feelgood with dodgy vowel inflection.

I liked it.
Those are so typical of NZ people.
Also, that they had called the ute "Crumpy" (it's a Kiwi joke, really).
Pleased to see Sam Neill returning to his roots.
Not seen him in a kiwi film since Sleeping Dogs, I don't think.

Another film in the same gruff comedic nature (in case anybody is interested in watching it) is called The Insatiable Moon, very good.

Don't Hang Up 8.5/10.

Old school scary slasher type movie, very much on par with the 1st SAW film. Really enjoyed it, good entertaining film, surprises and twists and turns.

Would be interested in what RHYNOCZ thinks?

Sausage Party

Why did I watch this?
Didn't cut the mustard with me.

2/10

I enjoyed it, wife did not. She thought it was low budget rubbish. Tension was good, story was good, very enjoyable and I would watch it again.

Was having a bit of a Royal evening on Netflix last night:

The King's Speech 9/10
Didn't think much of Tim Spall's Churchill, and I usually like Tim Spall - but the very do-able Helena B-C as the Queen (Mum) was quite good, although I may be biased. The lovely Colin Firth looking nothing like his usual fanciable self, but well acted as a frustrated stutterer George VI.

A Royal Night Out 8/10
In fact, returning to the subject of the Queen (Mum), this queen mum played by Emily Watson was especially stroppy. Fun times for the princesses. Apparently it really happened, but probably not quite exactly as portrayed in the film

Army of One - 5/10

Apparently a true story of a 'merican man, who decided to find and capture Bin Ladin. I must admit, this was not the worst film Nicolas Cage ever did. It had its moments and being a true story helped, at least a bit. The film even reminded me of Leslie Nielsen slapstick comedy films, to a certain extent.

The Founder - 7/10

Story of McDonalds and how it all started and progressed... if it's true to events, it was a very interesting film and I like Michael Keaton, he's not in many things these days.

Doctor Strange - 7/10

I really enjoyed this as well, loved all the CGI effects of buildings and cities morphing with kaleidoscopic effect. Also loved the idea of a dark realm and multi verses.

John Wick:Chapter 2 - 9/10

More penatration than 51 shades of Ghey
Hugely entertaining with fluid action scenes & a fully developed & imersive "World". Beautifully shot, amazing choreography with great supporting cast.

If you enjoyed the first film, this will not disappoint.

Independence Day: Resurgence

5/10 - Absolutely terrible sequel. Belongs on the sci-fi channel. Scary alien invaders get too much screen time. Totally detracts from the 'scary hostile creatures' aspect. They've been anthropomorphised.


Underworld: Blood Wars

3/10 - Apparently these moves used to be good but I was never keen in the first place.


Honestly I don't understand how people can get the funding for some of the shite that comes out these days. They must have friends in the right places, or lots of their own money to throw around.

wish id seen this thread earlier - love films me, heres one from last night

Passengers - 8/10

would have scored more if it wasnt for the obvious corny hollywood ending., nice concept, flowed throughout, and JLawrence is so fucking hot it might have clouded my judgement[/b]

Arrival - 9/10

A solid movie, A little headfucky towards the end when it all slots into place which made it a 9 out of 10 instead of a 7 for me.
