Batman Forever
- Stoned, coz Val would have wanted me to
- 5 minutes in - this could go very well, or very poorly. Over-the-top 1990s camp over-acting live-action cartoon while blazed... either going to enjoy this too much, or... I don't know what the other option is
- watching that cast list flash over evidence that every single one of those names is going to ham the shit out of this thing... sweet...
- 10 minutes in - shit, I'd forgotten this was actually a 90s homage to the Adam West Batman. I was hoping for Nolan-Batman-Plot with Burton-Batman-Style
- Fucking hell this is ridiculous.
- So bad
Titwatch of zero. Boo.

They are having a deal at the moment (or did a couple of days ago)
$3.99 per month for 3 months -
Cleaner
Not the Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, Eva Mendes one. Instead this has Daisy from Star Wars and Clive Owen (briefly).
Best summarised by pointing out they stole the plot from Die Hard, made no effort to develop characters thoughtfully and instead relied on laughably pathetic plot devices such as immediately available, detailed background information about our protagonist, lengthy discussions with the chief of police who clearly has nothing better to do during a terrorist situation. The villains are caricatures whose motivations are both overexplained and underdeveloped. But they're not fighting for money, this time they're motivated by love of the environment. So it's modern and complex.
And of course the reluctant hero is a 120lb special forces operative turned skyscraper window cleaner who easily fights everyone else.
Just rewatch Die Hard as you should be doing anyway.

Having two hot girls does not reduce my interest either.

A director with a catalogue of awesome. A great cast featuring an all-time MILF and an embodiment of the reason I learnt Spanish. And a great genre; mystery adventure!

yeah, i signed on the dotted line very early doors as well

Watched Chef with Jon Favreau. Nicely acted, feel good road trip film, with lots of cameos and small parts for well known actors like Sophia Vergara, Oliver Platt, Dustin Hoffman and Robert Downey Jr.
And The Old Guard, a action film from Netflix that didn't actually suck, about immortal warriors starring Charlize Theron
-
@antipodean haha I think that summarised it perfectly 👌
The Red One - pretty good cast with Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, JK Simmons, Lucy Liu
fun movie where Simmons is Santa and the Rock is his head of security as Santa is kidnapped.
3 fighting polar bears out of 5 mythical beings

I've watched this a couple of times. Good fun. A sequel is due to be released in July.

I’ve seen Chef about 10x, great flick
I love cooking movies even more than Mariner loves treasure hunt ones

Let’s get some more recommendations going!
I loved the Hundred Foot Journey, and a quick search tells me I need to watch Tampopo and Big Night. Can’t sleep on Ratatouille either…
