Meet Joe Black. It’s been a very long time since I saw it. Just brilliant. Superb film making.
That's a great film. Tried to introduce a girlfriend to it but she never got into it, think you really need to switch off and commit.Doofus said:

The Batman
For me, this was the best version of Batman I've seen yet. The tech was mostly-believable but really I just enjoyed the investigative nature of the story, and the darkness of Gotham without the "humour release" of the other portrayals. I thought Pattinson perfectly suited his relentlessly brooding nature.
I especially loved the Batmobile - my favourite of them all - again mostly because it looks like something that is "possible". Reminded me of Stadium Trucks when it landed from that jump over the fire on the freeway.
Yes realisitic. Buuut.....For me, this was the best version of Batman I've seen yet.

All he does is beat up a few thugs. He clearly isn't preventing anyone from committing crimes - it's made clear everyone has heard of him yet they're not scared into going straight.
He's not a good enough detective, even with GCPD's help, to stop anything the Riddler does.
So what's he good for?

Midsommar or however they spell it.
What a load of predictable b
ks. If you've seen the trailer, you'll have guessed the concept. All the film fills out are the small details.
4/10
I loved this, late screening in a dark cinema on my own was a pretty cool experience. Totally get that it's not for everyone though. Also, don't watch trailers!What a load of predictable b

just re-watching Talladega Nights - not a big fan of Will Ferrell but there are some moments of genius
as an addendum to this was Daryl Waltrip the inspiration for Ricky Bobby?

King Kong BBC
For 1933 it's awesome.... Clever tricks employed everywhere , utterly ground breaking for its time
I can't be the only one who has ever wondered what a 1930's audience so terrified of something like King Kong would make of an iMAX full colour screening of something like Jurassic Park.For 1933 it's awesome.... Clever tricks employed everywhere , utterly ground breaking for its time
I just can't imagine how their brains would process such an experience. Defibrillators would need to be on hand
for sure.
Speed Zone (AKA Cannonball Fever)
No Burt, very little Sheikh, a little Brooke, one of the Good ol' boys and John Candy helped along by a post 'Max' Frewer add up to pretty much exactly what you'd expect.
2 Covins out of 5.

Possibly much like the very first cinema-goers reacted when they witnessed a train coming towards them and ran out of the theatre screaming for their lives. I just can't imagine how their brains would process such an experience. Defibrillators would need to be on hand

Although, actually, I suspect that even by the 1930's people had become used to the concept of "it's the cinema; it's just make-believe" so they would more likely to simply believe it was a real thing that had been filmed as opposed to think they were in genuine mortal dangers like with the train.
Just channel hopping and landed on ITV4 and 'Never Say Never Again ' is on.
My gods it feels dated. Really dated and awkward.
I forgot that Max von Sydow was in it. And Barbara Bach is still gorgeous. But apart from that, dire.
(Might hot 'record' and come back later for the Streethawk bike and the R5 Turbo. Even though the 'tailgate ramp escape' bit irritates the hell out of me.

Barbara Bach is not in never say/w never again?
Sorry, I meant Barbara Carrera, who played Fatima Blush (only she says it Fatima Blasch).And I can't blame that one on autocorrect. Can I blame it on red wine please?
