Whether you've seen it before or not, Tucker and Dale vs Evil is on Horror channel tonight at 9. It is brilliant. That is all.
Give reasons.The Murray medley continues:
What about Bob? This is great! Right up there with Stripes in my book. Bill plays a neurotic guy who annoys his psychotherapist. Very funny and likeable character. 10/10.
Rock the Kasbah. Bill plays a talent scout/manager who finds talent in Afghanistan of all places. It's an interesting storey set in an interesting location and it does get you thinking about human/female rights in a place like that, which really saves the film, because the comedy wasn't that good. 7/10.
Kingpin. Woody Harrelson plays the central character as a champion bowler with Bill Murray as his rival. The humour is very...icky... I can see teenagers loving this film, but I wasn't crazy about it. Quite a few scenes had me grimacing. I would have found it funnier after a few beers I think. A film of dislikeable characters. I was disappointed with this one as I like watching Woody Harrelson usually. 5.5/10.

Hacksaw Ridge
Forrest Gump meets Private Ryan.
An above average war film with plenty of gore easily matching PrivRyan's Normandy opening, but this time in Okinawa.
Based on true events, our hero was a truly brave soldier and the cameo interviews with the original guys makes compulsive watching to hear their first hand recollections.
Basically in two halves - our hero's childhood, upbringing and background leading from his training to the second half which is the intense combat scenes. Not for the squeamish.
Well worth a watch 8/10.

Last night watched The Arrival and Dirty Grandpa
The Arrival was ok, obviously 1996 X-files-esk story line but not a bad watch, would say higher than the Netflix rating gives it - 6/10 from me
Dirty Grandpa - think Dude where's my car but with Robert Dinero - some genuine laugh out moments, especially the insults on the golf course, 7/10

Dirty Grandpa is brilliant, the bit in the strip bar is hilarious The Arrival was ok, obviously 1996 X-files-esk story line but not a bad watch, would say higher than the Netflix rating gives it - 6/10 from me

What with all the discussion about La La Land and musicals I thought I would watch Little Shop of Horrors, a film I have been aware of since childhood, but never sat and watched. Got bored during the singing bits, started browsing the web, film became an annoying distraction to the browsing....switched off. 1/10.

The Lego Batman Movie - 8.5/10
Loved it, captured the fun and madness of the Lego Movie really well. Batman fans will have a field day, waaaaay too many references to take in during one sitting.
Chris Harris (Monkey) tweeted earlier someting like - if you've got kids go and see the Lego Batman movie... if you haven't got kinds go and see...Loved it, captured the fun and madness of the Lego Movie really well.
