The Dry The best Australian film since Rabbit Proof Fence and probably the best film bar none this year. Eric Banna is superb. 9/11

Godzilla vs Kong
Terrible movie with laughable acting and nothing characters. Started to regret putting it on about 3 minutes in and that feeling never ended, even after the film actually ended. I can't believe a cgi mutant ape has more of an acting range than 90% of the actors in this movie. There is one girl in this who has one single facial expression for 2 hours.

So it's good? No one cares about the shitty human characters for this movie. Do the monsters beat the hell out of each other? That's all anyone cares about.
Well human characters make up the clear majority of this film so no it's not good. Even if you discount most of the movie and care only for the monster scenes those are also shit. There is no weight to anything in this. Watch it if you hate Hong Kong I suppose.
Godzilla vs Kong
I really enjoyed it. Good popcorn movie, awesome soundtrack for a stream; loads of overhead and bass. Godzilla looked a bit ropey in some scenes but could be the stream.
8/10

I never thought I was pretentious.
Yeah, the ferry was very gimmicky, also the way it brought the main characters from the other movies back...
I started the movie but stopped it as soon as King Kong started scratching his butt. Probably 1 minute in. Absolutely zero desire to keep watching after that.
Cannot wait to see this. I just find Anthony Hopkins so brilliantly compelling in everything he does. I have heard nothing but marvellous reviews of this.
Sounds like you guys need to watch Rampage. I think it'll be right up your street.
Hitler: Eine Karriere (documentary)
I'm currently still watching but I just had to write a post because all the footage is fascinating. I was a bit surprised at how much footage there is of Nazi Germany in the 30s.
That being said, the stage designs and rallies were something else. Flags, eagles, costumes, lighting, they sure put a lot of effort into making themselves look ominous as hell.

Where are you watching this?
Netflix. But you're American, right? I'm not sure if the American version of Netflix has this documentary.
Shit. We just have Hitler - My Career. Damn. It sounded good. white
this has made me want to watch it
I see we do have it in Canada, for what it's worth.
Oh, he anyway answered in the meantime.
It's worth a watch!I see we do have it in Canada, for what it's worth.

Yeah - thanks for bringing it up.
We don’t have it. We only have Hitler - My Career. white againI see we do have it in Canada, for what it's worth.

Is a 45% rated movie really that good?
I watched "The Accountant", currently available on BBC iPlayer:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000m82y/the-accountant
It was an interesting film but I can't get away from the fact that the majority of films which involve an character with autism, grossly stereotype certain traits. The vast majority of people on the spectrum are not mathematical geniuses and certainly not "savants". For a good number of people you would probably not be able to tell they are autistic as well. So whilst I tried to enjoy the film, I couldn't stop thinking about these issues.

It's a fair criticism. As was mine of theShots fired
Maybe I've watched so much dross in recent years that I went a bit high. 100% on rotten Tomatoes albeit at sub 8.0.
I enjoyed it a great deal though.
You have your score as 9/20.
Logan (2017) : I have been making a run through the X Men series by Fox recently and while there are some very fun flicks and some boring ones, this one stands out as it has a different tone to the rest of the series. I felt the first 30 minutes were a little bit slow but after that it's almost near perfect in what it wants to offer, which is a one last emotional ride with aging Xavier and Logan and exploring their characters at such stage of their life. Of course, the villain could have been better or more memorable as he's forgettable for the most part, but he's not the main focus here. Best to look at this as a character driven story rather than a big plot. The chemistry between the characters and their dialogue was just fun to listen to.
It's just a well crafted movie. 9/10.

I suppose you're joking - or is there really also a My Career film? (It's called A Career on my Netflix.)
Soul:
Excellent.
In the same vein as Inside Out, in that it tries to distill the human condition into a digestible cartoon format. It's should be required viewing for every kid.

Yep, joking.
Bad Trip (Netflix)
Really funny. Kind of like Dumb & Dumber but with Borat-style hidden camera/unsuspecting public stuff.
8/10

Sorry! I was drawn to the review as it was not of the typical silly, kiddie-oriented, monster, superhero drek variety. It has gone into my mental viewing queue. I am a fan of Eric Bana, yet somehow forgot he was Aussie.Harsh
I mean 9/20 was a harsh review. Sorry - shit jokes are a speciality.
It isn't an especially groundbreaking film but I enjoyed it more than a little.
No I feel like I fell for it anyway.
It's because you repeated it in the second post. I blame you entirely.I checked his 2nd post for white text!No I feel like I fell for it anyway.
That's how I knew.Loved this as an action thriller. The car scene on the farm is brilliant.

Bohemian Rhapsody
Thoroughly enjoyable. With these music biopics I’m not looking for much beyond great music and a good sense of the era and general atmosphere. This ticks the boxes nicely.

Overlord
A violent WWII movie about some troops on a secret mission turns into Re-Animator: Nazi redux.
Fast-paced, gory, entertaining genre mash up that won't strain any brain cells.
