Roadhouse. I've never seen the original so I lack nostalgia. This is about a 3/10. But every scene with mcgregor lowers the score. Hopefully that is his 1st and last film.

I love the original. Brilliant 80s nonsense, helped in no small part by casting the likes of Swayze, Elliott and Ben Gazzara.

New one looks shite from the trailer.

Original was miles better. This one was pretty poor and seemed to use CGI a bit in scenes where it wasn't needed. McGregor was terrible.

The original, I think, is very good. I don't know whose idea it was to put Conor mcgregor in this but it was a very bad one. The guy is a muppet.

It wasn't really a stretch for him. "Okay Connor in this scene I need you to act liked a swaggering coked up moron."

Both points are bang on, McGregor is a complete nob.

Setting that aside Jake Gyllenhall was in some nick.

Defo on the PEDs for that!

Look-Up!

Unfortunately the yanks might lap up McGregor's character. Only saw the trailers but he looked more like a paddywhack baddie Mike Myers might play in Austin Powers.

Took the kids to see the new Ghostbusters movie last night.
Didn't really live up to the expectations, but was still a solid 7/10.
Lots of really obvious nods to the originals and cameo's from the original team helped it along.
It was just a little slow moving.
Kids loved it.

Watched a great Australian horror film called Talk to Me, really good for that type of film. I'll give it a year or 2 b4 it gets a Hollywood remake.

Is that the one with the hand? Great movie. I'm not a massive fan of horrors but watched this at Halloween and really enjoyed it.

Thought that one was crap myself.  Usually enjoy Aussie horror, but not this one.

Watched it on Monday. Absolutely class.
Does it matter if I haven't watched the first Dune film or read the book,to enjoy Dune 2?

Absolutely need to have seen part one.
