Damian Lewis certainly has quite the eclectic filmography.

I watched A Family Affair on Netflix. No comment on the movie BUT seeing that Zac Effron has had work on his face made me feel SO OLD! The internet says he broke his jaw and needed surgery and that's why he looks so different - I assume the lip fillers must have got in there by mistake then....

[Macros]

we saw him in something recently and thought he looked a bit odd.

Ricky Stanicky, was surprisingly funny

Hold me closer Tony Danza ...

A sequel to Space balls? Well obviously I'll be watching it but I never thought they'd make one...

Yeah this sequel is a series, and it feels a lot more like Drunk History than it does the original movie -- probably because Mel Brooks mostly passed the baton creatively to some relatively younger folks.

This is a terrible idea.

“Keep firing assholes!”

Fingers crossed.

Is the movie industry dying or am I just more choosy. Five years ago I feel like I could see a movie every weekend. Not all of them would have major blockbusters but things would have enjoyed seeing.

Now I check the local theatre to see what’s showing, scroll through the 8 options and can’t find anything worth the trip (time) or expense to go see. Last two movies I saw were Deadpool (excellent) and alien Romulus (which was already a borderline choice). That was 3 months ago.

A bit of both. There's a lot more of everything out there, and while it means there's statistically likely to be just as much - if not more - good stuff, there's also a lot more shit. And sorting the wheat from the chaff is annoying, so we rely on our friends and some reviewers we might follow.
PLUS, times are tougher, so we're more choosy about where we spend our money.
Recently I went to the cinema for the first time since ... Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves. It was to see Deadpool and Wolverine. With my 11 year old son. Who I had made watch the first 2 in the preceding week so he would be up to speed (not that he resisted, mind you). I am such a lousy parent ...

Anyhoo, I was not aware Switzerland had a coast, or is that just a very big lake? And that it was so multiethnic in the 14th century. And Swiss women were such badass swordswomen? But there you go, as usual I display my woeful ignorance.
Unless it's a send up like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? It does have Ben Kingsley and Jonathan Pryce though.

I just watched the movie "Lee". I heard it was Oscar fodder with Kate Winslet doing Oscar level lady acting so was expecting some strong Acting. It's all there but I can't believe that I never would have thought a woman would be out there doing that stuff during WWII. And the fact I didn't think it leads me to a massive fuck you to the patriarchy.

Watched not another teen movie there, first time since it was in the cinema probably.
Captain America looks so young!
It's a bloody stupid movie but we wanted stupid comedy and it hit the note perfectly for that

I sense this one would get the rare, highly coveted QT/PG double thumbs up.

[Tsundoku]

Looks like the classic story done straight up.

[Macros]

Oh I'm in for that

[Tsundoku]

Oh wow, this looks absolutely terribad.

[Mezla PigDog]

I watched The Holdovers. It hadn't appealed to me as it sounded kind of dull and my attention span isn't what it was. It is very good. One of those quiet movies that says a lot without saying a lot. Mr PigDog enjoyed it as well so it has male and female thumbs up.
