Yeah I like once upon a time in Mexico too, partly for that reason!

Just watched Manson family vacation! It gets 100% positive reviews on rotten tomatoes. It's on Netflix's. Hmmmm, strange, very strange, like a car crash you can't look away from!

What, you mean the people employed in that medium can actually apply themselves to the task required for at least two hours, unlike our cricketers who plan their attack with the work ethic of a lobotomised baboon?

Enjoyed Ghostbusters, good fun.
Definitely not as good as the original but not as bad some critics said.
Cameos by some of the original cast and bonus Chris Hemsworth eye candy - the guy can do everything even bust a move.

Bastille Day was a not too bad action flick including the anti foreigners tensions in Europe as part of the premise for the film. Liked Irdis Elba as the broody 'hero' of the film.

Yep, I love the girl-next-door qualities of Kristen Wiig. *sigh*
Ghostbusters not bad for a re-boot, and didn't deserve all that bad press.

Loved Hemsworth spitting out the coffee scene; he is actually a very good visual comedian, on top of his role in Vacation...

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Hacksaw ridge

Mind blowing story,

So well made, Gibson may be crackers but he sure can direct.

Everyone should see this movie. Terrifyingly real.

19 year old saw Dr Strange at cinemas on Saturday in 3D.
He and his mates enjoyed it but agree that some parts were a bit mind blowing.

Just been watching Yaaba, a movie from Burkina Faso about a boy's friendship with an old woman who is ostracised by the local village. One of the best African films I've seen:

I was one of the idiots who paid good monet at the cinema in 1990 to sit through Joe Versus the Volcano. Still waiting for my refund...
I may have to torrent it again to remind myself exactly how bad it was.

And WILSONNNNNN!!! The self-dentistry scene was more nauseating than anything we endured in either the Hostel or Saw series...
