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?

It's on Netflix or other alternatives. I'd watch it before looking at 2 as it does provide the background.

Dune 2 seems to be well regarded but Dune 1 was average enough.

Watching The Iron Claw. What the f**k was Zac Efron on to get like that?!

Dune 1, was setting the scene for the franchise. Building the story and characters. This can be laborious. You'd expect Dune 2 to have more freedom.

Good show.

I was forced to watch Legally Blonde the other night and believe it or not it was a pretty decent comedy.

First one is quite good, I was forced then to watch the second one, probably better to poke your own eyes out, awful shit

Thanks for the warning - I was kinda thinking 'Is there a sequel?'.
