I've nothing against him as an actor though - perfectly good at what he does but his dumb action flicks aren't even that much fun or stupid enough. They're just a bit nuts and bolts dull.

300 is probably the exception. That's an interestingly done, hugely stupid and often fun pile of absolute shallow nonsense.

Thought he was quite good in Law abiding citizen, or maybe it was the story itself that was good. Not an a actor you'd see much though when the Oscars are being handed out.

Yeah I hear you, Jurassic park storyline is basically the same throughout all the films but with a different angle of how the dinosaurs break free and eat people

I heard they tried a few things:



This one obviously didn't make it to the final cut.

My all-time favourite too, alongside 2001.

full of mega goosepimp moments...but the one that always gets me a little emotional is after Arthur sips from the Grail, and his brother goes GUARDS! KNIGHTS! SQUIRES! Prepare for Battle!

Cue that epic Orff music, which despite being overused in the decades since still has unbelievable power in Excalibur.

As an aside, for years i thought the lyrics of that music had "THE KING WILL COME!", which really fit! But at some point got the entire Carmina Burana on CD, all the lyrics are in Latin

'The King Will Come' is actually Hac in Hora ("at this hour"). The text is from the 13th-century (hence Latin) and is a helpless ode to how we can't control our fate & fortune (hence, O Fortuna).

The rest of Carmina Burana is really good stuff. Sounds almost comedic at times, like the choir are hedonists and just larking about. None of the other pieces ever match the dramatic peak of O Fortuna.

Unrivalled throughout time

Another trip to the cinema this morning by virtue of having to keep 9 yr old grandson occupied.
This time the new Jurassic adventure. I can see why the franchise has been popular not that I've seen an of the other films.
Definitely one for the kids though if only for heightening their interest on all things prehistoric.

[Obes]

The Lost Boys.

Maverick-loved it, needs to be seen in a cinema 8.8. Hussle-not bad but very predictable, worth a watch if you like Sandler, NBA 6.8

 

[Davidoff]

Finally gave in and watched The Nice Guys. Really never fancied it despite the positive reviews - it's so so so good, just wanna watch it again now

The Black Phone, with Ethan Hawke.

Wasn't expecting much, turns out it was a really enjoyable film.

Richard Jewell.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

One of my faves. Gosling is hilarious.

I’m a big Wes fan but didn’t rate this one much.

The Black Phone, with Ethan Hawke.

I like Ethan Hawke, give him a good script and he’s a decent actor.

He’s fantastic in Siniste.

You can't actually tell its Ethan Hawke in the film, he's bulked right up and wears a couple of really freaky masks in it - well worth a watch I'd say ??

Bohemian Rhapsody which was excellent , much better than Elton's Rocket Man which I didn't like although the book is brilliant .
