Watched the new Roadhouse movie yesterday.
I do not recommend. So grim.
Reminded me of the action movies we left back in the early 90s for good reasons.

Watched the original Road House movie at the weekend. That wasn’t exactly a barrel of laughs either

Sometimes a movie is so bad it’s good. We left our sense at the door of The Road House and thoroughly enjoyed it (apart from Connor McGregor obviously).

I totally get that.
I think his performance (Connor) was absolutely spot on for that type of film - totally cheesy - but I’ve seen Jake Gyllenhaal do some pretty incredible acting so it’s jarring seeing him do such a weak character.

Looking forward to watching Monkey Man and Civil War at some point over the next couple of weeks!

Watched the latest Mission Impossible last night.
Fairly decent compared to other MI films.
The only thing we spotted is the main baddie is useless at hand to hand combat so feels like the choreography has been adapted and filmed at specific angles to make up for it. Excellent at playing the creep though
Going to watch the Dungeons and Dragons next whilst on the trial and see if theres anything else worth watching. Possibly Star Treks and Turtles

Rewatched The Talented Mr Ripley, as the new show is on Netflix.
Had forgotten how good it is. Brilliant performances all round and the Italian setting works so well.

Wait there is a show now?!?
Oh Ripley is the same premise.
Very disappointed with Ripley, I’ve watched five episodes so far and there’s still no alien.

Damned with faint praise. It was really awful, but entertaining.
Rebel Moon 2 looks worse. I’m two minutes in and already rolling my eyes at the voiceover and the seventies style rope-lights-as-tech.

Don’t tell Dune 2 that I was gonna watch that but decided I was a bit sleepy and Rebel Moon would do instead.
In fact don’t tell anyone.
Same, it was drab.
My friend watched 2 last night and said it was great, but he likes drab stuff

Dune 2 - am I right thinking this was better than the first film?
By far. But by design too - it’s a progression of the story.
Part 1 - character introduction & growth
Part 2 - SANDWORMS!
I read the books before I saw the 1984 interpretation* so I have a certain mental image of what they should’ve been in a film. But Denis Villeneuve captured my mental image perfectly.
Although… the 1984 version still has a lasting impression - there are only (IMO) 2 sci-fi films that have a unique visual signature - Dune (1984) and Flash Gordon (1980) - Flash being the most visual film ever. Both in the days where FX were imagined & created properly rather than CGI

These were great!
I’ve never read a book, never mind this book.
I don’t remember much from the first movie, just seemed very slow and not much to take in (possibly wasn’t paying great attention if it’s slow pace).
They got some gut riding those sandworms though 
Also, a certain death near the end… I expected it to be a little more drawn out than a knife to the throat given the character

It could be worse, you could be watching the latest Godzilla, it was very meh imo.
Sadly even the kids forgot they had been to see it which was the whole point.
