How did you watch 5 movies on a flight? Did you not sleep? I think the only way I could pull that off is if the flight is largely empty, I have a row of seats to myself, and I choose to watch 4 movies simultaneously on the backs of 4 seats.

Black Panther was always a bit-player in the Marvel comics universe, but even back in the 70s it was a good gesture by Marvel to introduce a Black Superhero as to not alienate market-share comicbook fans.

The fact that Disney have spent big $$$ on his own feature was a huge gamble but I hope it found it's target audience. It's worth a look if you are a fan of the Marvel movies, if not, you'd be like WTF is going on here...
I was into Marvel Comics when I was young but guess I missed Black Panther and I was saying to myself, "WTF is going on". :lol: :lol:

Death Wish remake with Bruce Willis. It was brutally violent and other than that it was pretty much on script as per the Charles Bronson movies. If you like blood and guts, this is for you.

My daughter told me about one, "A Quiet Place"

I might give it a look.

Went to the Movies today (yes I have finally paid). Went to Gold Class to watch Start Wars Solo. I have read a plethora of reviews which some bag it and some like it. We thought it was a great movie with action, laughs and a story line. Honestly does Ron Howard ever have a bad movie? 9/10.

I saw Infinity War last night - it was entertaining. I especially liked the talking raccoon and the tree.

The best moment, though, was when the giant "dwarf" forged Brodie a new hammer. I came out of the cinema and saw on the replay that he'd used it to smite the Bulldogs into submission, too.

Great fun.

I watched "Wild Card" last night on Netflix. Jason Statham action flick, thin on plot, some of it seemingly borrowed from John Wick, but not as good.

Very slow start, nearly turned it off but left it on while I played on the computer and it picked up. A bit.

One scene where he wins $500k at blackjack, goes to the counter to cash out, then instead walks back to the table to put the whole lot on one hand had me seriously yelling at the TV.

Not recommended unless you're after something you can largely ignore for 80% of the movie and just watch the 3 action sequences.

Did you realize this was an Eastwood-directed film, with the novelty value (not a success, according to the critics) of featuring "actors" in the film who were actually characters in the real-life event?

If not (or if so), how does that affect your thoughts on the film?

And I love Eastwood films!
