King Kebab Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 The Expendables 2 - 3/10 I was lying on the couch, and it came on last night, the remote was on the other side of the room and I couldn't be arsed getting up to get it so ended up watching this in its entirety!!! Poorly scripted and poorly edited with a couple of continuation mistakes that bothered me more than they should have. Jet Li baled out of this film (literally) in the first 5 minutes and was never seen again, I probably should have followed!!! None of these guys are ever going to win oscars, in Stallone's case, again, but surely somebody must have had a final say as to its suitability for release!!! If you were willing to overlook the shitty production it was actually an enjoyable block of brain cheese, definitely has plenty action, plenty of bloody overkills and sometimes some very smart one liners and although quite two dimensional, I did find Van Damne to be a quite enjoyable villain!!! Out of the three points I've given it, one is for the idea, one is for Schwarzenegger & Willis in their escape car and one is for Chuck Norris - just because!!! The Expendables 3 is on Ch5 on Tuesday, I might just watch it!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Netflix) Watched Breakfast Club for the first time in a couple of years last Friday. It's still great, even if Judd Nelson is about the same age as Carl the Janny. Tomb Raider -- The plot is bobbins and the baddies are cardboard cut-outs and there is an awful lot of Lara Croft hanging on to ledges and it contains some truly awful dialog ("Sacrifice one ... to save millions!" says Lara's dad sounding like a Mitchell & Webb character), but dammit it was enjoyable and Alicia Vikander is amazing. Much like Game Night, the more you think about it, the less sense it makes and there's a scene pretty much at the end when they're positioning the sequel that pretty much renders everything before it as avoidable. Alicia Vikander, tho. Aye, out of two, likes ... (6/10) Edited March 19, 2018 by MSU 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite as good as inside out - felt Coco took a bit too long to set up the story - but potentially another one of pixar's greats IMO. Good twist (although my 8 year old suspected it), and a classic Disney ending. One of best original soundtrack from Disney in a while too. 8.5/10 Ferdinand- enjoyable if a bit formulaic in places. Few decent laughs as well. 6/10 I need to watch some grown up films soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I disagree. Jolie always had that quality where, at a moment's notice, she could go mental. Like Suranne Jones in doctor Foster, you wid but with extreme trepidation. I'd put her top. I, Tonya was much better than I expected and Allison Janney was superb. 8/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's much of a contest. I'd happily plug away at Alicia Vikander until the cows come home. She's the robot lassie from Ex Machina and (I'm sure I don't have to tell you this) she does a Gregory's Girl in that one (TBF, the lot). Don't recall many folk complaining at that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Jolie is clearly the correct answer. Jolie in her Tomb Raider days obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
