Brilliant film, the sequels aren't the best though. I think there was a remake/reboot recently.

The Handmaiden - Korean film. Same buck who made the original Old Boy.  Should add that I watched this on a crowded Qantas in-flight app on the work tablet on a morning flight.
The film is set in the 30s or 40s, a drama, lesbian show, brown nipples and women in the bath etc.
Some craic at that hour of the morning. 

The Handmaiden is definitely worth seeing on a bigger screen than that haha. Great film in every way. That same buck has an incredible filmography to his name, never seen a bad one from him.

Cool film, reasonably enjoyable, watched it a heap of times when I was younger.  Cube 2: Hypercube, however, is relentless dogshit, so much so it is actually worth watching.  So dense it is gas.

Haha, another mate just told me almost exactly the same thing  :laugh:

Great flick. Cheesy as hell and some, eh, unique acting shall we say, but such a cool idea and a fun film.

Watched District 9 on DVD with my 12 year old there this evening.  Movie of the Year sez he.  Bit gory in spots he had his head under the blanket at a few of the early scenes!

Fookin prones! Great film, a sequel was in the works but never materialised in the end.

Don't forget Cube 2: Hypercube as well

Never saw the follow up.

Further 90s schlock missed out on first time round with Toy Soldiers last night. Man, Hollywood really had Sean Astin pegged to grow into something he absolutely didn't!

"Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning" - way, way too long and not good enough by a long haul to justify the run-time.

"Mission Impossible: Dead Boring".

 

Sure, it's basically just a build up to the next one.
I still enjoy al the MI flicks, for the most part.

Watched The King last night. Based on Shakepeare's Henry plays (not very historically accurate as a result), it tells the story of Henry V's rise and ultimately the war with France. Surprised by how much I enjoyed it, it disn't look great from the trailer but I saw a clip during the week that intrigued me. Nice and slow-paced, perfect for a Sunday hangover. Yer man Chalamet is mighty.

Finally got around to John Wick 4. It's grand, just more of the same. Probably time to let it go now, though.
