Yeah I've got this and Immaculate on my watchlist. Both in the cinemas but it's difficult for me to get to limited late showings. Will have to wait for stream release.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
I don't get the criticism for this. It has some funny moments and a plot which they don't try to over complicate.
They also managed to keep it below 2 hours.
It won't win any Oscars because movies like this are more about having a bit of fun than making a movie for the ages, like Dune 2 for example which was the opposite (though I think overhyped).
My only negative against it would be that they overloaded the cast a bit. The original Ghostbusters didn't need so many people!
And I don't have anything against James Acaster but really, what was he doing in there?!
It's just a middle of the road 7/10, doesn't deserve the hate.

This wasn’t on my radar but it sounds and looks interesting, thanks for the heads-up.
This sounds cool! It's out in a few weeks in Spain, I'll have to check it out when it hits the theaters.
Speaking of @Dirty Schwein :saw 8mm yesterday by chance for the second time. Gets better every time. Classic for me by now and totally slept on it for many years.
Yeah I really like this one (feels strange to say that).
It‘s very American in that you actually don‘t really see any kind of sexual acts yet a lot of graphical violence. Really like the grittiness of it.
Had already forgotten how many familar faces were featured next to Cage and Phoenix: Gandolfini, a very young Norman Reed (?, dude from Walking Dead)..and that port worker from The Wire as nothing less than „Machine“. Guess I missed some more too.
If I find the bluray I‘ll watch me some French Connection today.
Norman Reedus... He is a very, very strange man in real life.
In what way? He's definitely not the archetypal media friendly celeb in that he's obviously very introverted and shy, but he seems quite nice from what I've seen (his Criterion selection and clips from his show with Keanu Reeves).
Great to hear. Looking forward to seeing this one.
Well, we were filming an ad for The Walking Dead season 2 launch and then had to get some interviews with a few cast members.
He refused to do it unless he can do it topless for some reason
and after the interview he just kept tensing his biceps and looking in a mirror 
He wasn't a dick or anything... Just very strange.
Jon Bernthal was so nice though. Very shy and self-depricating for some reason but overall, very pleasant and accommodating. And Lauren Cohan kept touching my jumper and saying how nice it was... I keep reminding my partner of this

And Bernthal being to go to badass being very shy fits. Love him as the Punisher.

Good lord I would have erupted right there.And Lauren Cohan kept touching my jumper and saying how nice it was... I keep reminding my partner of this
Yeah I have a massive crush on her. My partner didn't realise why my interest in vampire diaries was only when she was in it
Dude, give it a rest! Your AI girlfriend is not a "partner"!Yeah I have a massive crush on her. My partner didn't realise why my interest in vampire diaries was only when she was in it
Also, did you skip over Torrey DeVitto?Yeah I have a massive crush on her. My partner didn't realise why my interest in vampire diaries was only when she was in it

Nice story. I also imagine you were playing WW meanwhile, going for long bathroom breaks every other moment.
Everyone at work knows that I spend about 30-40 minutes in the toilet in the morning and afternoon. I don't even try hide itNice story. I also imagine you were playing WW meanwhile, going for long bathroom breaks every other moment.
I wanted to run a game soon but can't currently as I'm mega busy at work. One of those rare times.
Equaliser 3
Falls somewhere in between the decent first one and the terrible second. I have an issue with films that position the protagonist as untouchable and we don't see them having to overcome many obstacles. I genuinely don't know how this became a trilogy and why Denzel made these past the first one. It did have some good moments but not many 4.5/10

My co-worker saw it two days ago and was telling us how entertaining it was - didn‘t really believe her though.
Came into the office this morning all set to make her watch 8mm but she‘s been in vacances already.
Watched a bit of the old Equalizer series some years ago. Was ok but the format didn‘t really age well.
Banging theme tune though.
Constantly reminded me of Clooney's underrated THE AMERICAN.
Alien 1979
Everything has pretty been said about this film already but still it really is perfect.
10/10

Needs to be marked down for not being called Threequaliser.
I thought it was utterly crap. As you said, the guys untouchable. He's an OAP who walks around murdering countless people with barely a scratch and very few consequences. Just utterly brainless.
Pignorant.
Documentary on Amazon Prime about the holocaust of the Suidae family. Some absolutely harrowing footage involved.
Bacon, though.

Agreed. I had the exact same issue with Beekeeper (amongst other things). That's why I love Indiana Jones and John Wick... The heroes in those films are constantly one touch away from death and barely survive whereas films like Equalizer feel like playing a game with infinite health cheat on.
I agree but the last John Wick took a similar direction to the said criticisms mentioned.
I enjoyed the environment but think the film lacked in the gravity in the plot, very neighborhood hero meets local villain schematic and not much depth outside of that context. This was the film he was most vulnerable in spending much of the movies inception recovering from a GSW which if anything was elongated more than necessary.
Don't think I agree. I remember Keanu limping from wounds in every scene!
Yeah it's definitely in my all time top 3 I'd say. Probably watched it more than any other film.
What I find funny is it was made in 1979 yet somehow feels way less dated than Prometheus already. Probably all the dumb CGI and sound engineering from that era, and well, because of how shite it was too I guess.
I think a big reason why 70’s & 80’s sci fi look less dated is everyone in that era thought the future would be analogue and industrial. The workers ship in Alien is full of a million different big chunky buttons which looks great on film. Where as Prometheus it’s digital weightless interfaces/holograms.
Hahaha!! That is very weird. Sounds like a cool as shit job, though. Good on ya!Well, we were filming an ad for The Walking Dead season 2 launch and then had to get some interviews with a few cast members.

(he was a fluffer)
There’s some news that Coppola new $100+ million self funded film Megalopolis is completely insane.
It is a very long time since he made a decent film so ...
