Thought the jungle book was an excellent film

Orior

Had the misfortune of watching Abbott and Costello go to Mars yesterday. Back in them days funny appears to be slapping each other a la The Three Stooges. Not one joke worth repeating and certainly not in the Who's on First Base category.
Cover me in chocolate and feed me to the lesbians

The Iceman

Watched a show called "Colonia" last night. Loved it. Not the greatest cast but solid performances and harrowing content. 8/10

Watched Mad Max last night. Too much action and not a lot of script. Basically a chase scene for two hours.

The Iceman

Made it to the cinema to see Captain America Civil War. Definitely enjoyed it but wasn't crazy about the ending - thought Spiderman stole the show when he was around, great comedy double act with Stark.
Entertaining 7.5/10

The script was drier than the drought there.
Afair,  there wasn't even any sex.

Never beat the deeler

Went to see 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople' at the weekend. It's a New Zealand movie from Taika Waititi who also directed 'Boy' and 'What we do in the shadows' (Eagle vs Shark too but I haven't seen that one yet).

Would really recommend it. Had already seen the other two mentioned above and love his brand of humour.

Sam Neil plays one of the lead characters, and you will notice some familiar faces if you watch Flight of the Conchords. Similar to Ireland I guess, it's a small community so a lot of the same actors would be in different things.

light-hearted, touching, and laugh out loud funny

Caught the Nice Guys at the weekend there, wasn't what i was expecting to be honest. Really enjoyed it, it is what it is stupid funny with a paper thin plot line but Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling worked really well off each other, if you want light hearted comedy, give it a go!

Just watched 10 Cloverfield Lane. Decent movie. Also saw The Nice Guys. Really good comedy.

The Iceman

Triple 9 - solid cast, not a bad show at all 7/10
Midnight Special - not sure what to make of it - one of those films that sits with you afterwards - 6/10 worth a look

Seen a very odd French movie there last night called Holy Motors. Can't for the life of me make out what it was about. Very strange. Kylie Minogue shows up in it.

Watched Margin Call as well . Film about the subprime crash. Very watchable.
