The neighbours sequel is work a watch too. Maybe not as funny, but has a better heart to it.
Definitely a surprise entry in the "decent comedy sequel" category

Nice one, I had no idea there was a sequel!

Saw this post and thought it was from the Box Sets thread.....was seriously questioning you and life in general tets.

I don't think I've watched an entire episode of Neighbours in the last 20 years.

But, everyone needs good neighbours. With a little understanding.

You can find the perfect blend Nigel.

They've been occasionally known to become good friends.

A Quiet Place (2018). Was on RTE 2 tonight. A sci-fi horror from John Krasinski. Probably the least amount of spoken dialogue I've ever seen in a film, but a fairly gripping watch from start to finish. Well worth a watch

Who is this Oppenheimer and why is his movie so long.

**the 12 th man** · 23/07/2023, 7:20 PM

Mission Impossible ,Better than expected and a good bit of escapism,this series of films either does or doesn't do it for you and this one certainly doesn't let the franchise down.

8.5/10.

Really?

I'm kidding. I used to work with Dorothy Vanderford, nice person.

So who's seen Barbie? Can't wait.

Watched a couple of movies last night.

Uncut Gems - Adam Sandler puts in a good turn as a messed up, jeweller and gambling addict who is in trouble with the mafia and keeps making worse and worse decisions. It is a chaotic film, no quiet moments and at times made me feel uncomfortable with its intensity - but would recommend.

Baby Driver - good cast, great soundtrack and I’m a bit of a sucker for Edgar Wright movies (and Lily James). Feels like a play sometimes but a play with some brilliant car chase scenes and a good bit of violence. Yeah, I liked this a lot.

Having not been to the cinema in ages, I've recently gone to see Oppenheimer, Barbie and A Haunting in Venice.

A Haunting in Venice the weakest of the three, still entertaining enough, but I don't think you'd miss out on anything by watching it on TV. Probably a 6 or generous 7 out of 10.

I really enjoyed Barbie. It's maybe not as deeply profound as made out to be by some, but it's good fun and I thought it got the balance of having a message but still being funny about right. I'd watch it again and it was a 7.5 or so out of 10.

Oppenheimer didn't feel like over 3 hours long, which is maybe the biggest complement I could give it. Had more lighter moments than I expected, or maybe I've just got an odd sense of humour. It builds tension well and the timelines are not too disconcerting to follow. Downey Jr and Murphy are both excellent. It's a good 8 out of 10 and I'd say it's one that really benefits from being on the big screen.

Very enjoyable considering how bad it could and probably should have been. I feared the worst but the concept was good for a movie about a toy. Watching Margot Robby is never dull.....ditto Ryan Reynolds tbf.....

Haven't seen Oppenheimer yet. Thanks for reviewing.

Indiana Jones and The Dial of destiny :Got a bit of a mauling by the Hacks but I thoroughly enjoyed it,I thought they were going to go mad with the de-ageing process but thank God they didn't and normality returned for the rest of the movie. 8/10

Barbie : I can't put into words how bad I found this,watched about 30 minutes and abandoned ship.Just over my head I suppose.

Meg 2 : Exactly as you would expect with a rerun of Part 1 with bells and whistles,if you like this kind of crash bang wallop you'll enjoy 6/10

The Popes Exorcist: Russell Crowe chews the scenery a bit in the title role but entertaining on the whole,I think partly shot in Ireland 6.5/10

Scottish Mussel (2015)

Just stuck it on Saturday night for something easy for me and the wife to watch. Decent cast really but absolute rubbish all round - story, script, acting, production. There was two scenes where you could actually see the big hairy boom mic come into view. It was hilariously bad. Talulah Riley does change into a bikini quite a lot in it though so it is not without its merits. 3/10 (2 for the bikinis and 1 for the unintended laughs!)

While I'm here...

Mad Max: Furiosa - not a huge fan of the previous ones and the genre overall but this was brilliant. Really enjoyed it. Anya Taylor-Joy is a phenomenal actress.

A Quiet Place: Day One - another one i saw in the cinema. Typical fare if you've seen the other ones, I suppose, but also very enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.
