Finally saw Straight Outta Compton. Very well done. Ice Cube's son looks so much like his dad. Movie does a good job of touching on most of what was happening around NWA and each member as they left to start solo careers during that time. Nothing revelatory about what the movie portrayed, but it was a lot of fun nevertheless. I give it 4 F the Police out of 5.

Does it cover the bit where Dre straight up beats the crap out of a woman?

Which time?

Did that happen during the NWA / Chronic era of Dr. Dre? Also, as both Dre and Ice Cube have a producer credit for the film, I'm guessing they would leave that history out.

The film does portray both Ice Cube and Dr. Dre as "grinders" who are trying to do better for their families, which I'm guessing is what is called "creative liberty" with the facts in film making parlance.

At the end of the day, leaving out any domestic abuse drama, etc. the film was really a lot of fun. I recommend it.

Bah, so there's to be no Hellboy 3.
So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Just watched Siege of Jadotsville.

Was totally unaware of the story it's based on so was nice to be made aware of this history there.

Not a bad film, although Dornans accent was all over the place which really baffled me, he's usually pretty good at spring southern accentd. Strongs accent being poor was less noticeable to me (and more understandable given he's English).

Have no real idea how accurate it was but as a 'light' war film it's pretty solid

Technically no. Mignola has had to clarify on FB after the fact...there is no HB3 WITH Del Toro involved... Mignola said that this does not mean there isn't more Hellboy with someone else.

Just watched The Arrival. It's a beautiful film. I can see why people like it. I'm not sure how I feel about the last third/the ending though.

Would Ron even still be able to handle the action if they did 3? I'm sure one day it ll get the full reboot treatment. 2 was so cool, I like it more then 1st.


Ron would cope! It's mainly from his twitter feed that I'm getting the info. He says if it's not GDToro he's not doing it.

So ok another Hellboy might be made but it just wouldn't be the same.

Last week I watched all the Star Trek (original cast) movies as well as the Spockumentary from Adam Nimoy. To be honest, I liked all the movies, even the flawed ones. I'd rank em 4>6>2&3>1>5. As far as the documentary goes, it was pretty solid. A little bit of talking head stuff (friends, family, fans), a decent chunk of Nimoy biography, a lot of focus on Spock the character. What's there is good, I just wish there was more of everything (particularly reminiscences from people who knew or admired him). It was a Kickstarter movie though, so for the budget it had it's well made, a solid B.

Sausage fest had a couple chuckles. Not what i would classify as "good". 2 gratuitous food sex scenes out of 5.



Hell or High Water was alright though. Nothing groundbreaking, but the performances were very solid. 3.5 "is that really Ben Foster?" out of 5.

Just a reminder. Gene Hackman is fucking phenomenal in Unforgiven.

Especially the jail scene. "Duck I says."

Finally got to see HACKSAW RIDGE, and really enjoyed it. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Mel Gibson does not direct bad movies.

It’s a very affecting story, especially as a true one, and is executed with aplomb across the narrative. The actors are all very good at their roles…my wife said that it was hard to take Vince Vaughn seriously as a sergeant though. She said she kept excepting him to be joking. Typecast is an understatement. Having seen RETURN TO PARADISE though, in which he was largely being dramatic (and very good at that) I bought it mostly fine. Garfield was fantastic, and deserved the nomination he got.

Next up MOONLIGHT.

Logan is incredible, perhaps partially because it was nothing like what I thought it would be. The best superhero movie I've seen in at least a decade.

Is he all old and haggard in all of it? Because that would just be a darn shame.

I saw Fences today at baby cinema. It's really really good. You can tell it was originally a play which occasionally felt a bit annoying to me but good old Denzel and Viola keep you with them. Proper acting.

Camera leak of some kind of screening of a Deadpool 2 teaser scene. It's awesome:

Watched Moana and Moonlight.

Moana is great. Maybe one or two cliche plot contrivances along the way, but overall great story, character design, and animation (which is full of neat details). Music is strong, especially the song Jemaine Clement sings (surprised he didn't write it since its vibe is very Flight of the Conchords-in-Bowie-mode).

Moonlight - what can I say? This movie is near perfect. It's honest, romantic, hits a number of emotions dead on, and is almost unbearably tender at points.

Can those who have seen Logan tell me if I need to have seen X-Men Apocalypse beforehand? Want to see Logan on the weekend but haven't actually seen X-Men yet.
