They were both difficult to watch.
The sinking of the Titanic in the movie, l am told coincided with how long the original took to sink.
On Terminator, l saw the original in a cinema in the city with a mate l was teaching with. Neither of us knew what to expect and both of us came out a little shocked. Him probably more than me, as he refused to accept that it was science fiction. We didn’t find any of the deaths comical.
Quentin Tarantino is pretty good at those aspects as well. There’s a scene in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood where the camera tracks a guy on horseback cantering quite a long distance back to confront Brad Pitt that’s technically very difficult and done brilliantly without any show or flourish at all. Cameron is much better at getting the pace and structure of the whole movie right though.
That was just hamming. No acting required. Just get carte blanche to swear your head off. I could do that.
And getting an Oscar is based on what do you think exactly
Acting

Don’t bother with the new Mel Gibson movie called On The Line. It’s absolute rubbish, you’ve been warned

Horror movie ‘Smile’ is genuinely creepy.
IMO, incredible performance from lead actress Sosie Bacon (daughter of Kevin).
Melbourne born actress Caitlin Stasey (on the movie cover) absolutely nailed her brief appearance.
Recommend…
watched the national lampoons holiday movie (wallys world) - recreation with Rusty as the dad.
was kind of funny, but not as good as the original. Decent try though.
I would have gone like cobrai kai though, get all the original cast members back.
not just the parents. nice seeing a cameo from chevy chase though.

Chris Hemsworth was a cracker in that film 
I agree not as good as the orignial but did get some laughs out of it. yeah Cobra Kai should be the template that movie studios should follow when they want to make a reboot or sequel to an old franchise.
Bill and Ted Face The Music was one movie that did a great job.
This movie was considered a flop, but I genuinely thought it was hilarious in parts. Very slapstick, but I mean, so were the originals.
The Korean car bit was phenomenal

yep i had to google the tartan prancer.
Just finished watching Poker Face (Russell Crowe’s new movie on Stan).
Also has Liam Hemsworth with a cameo role from Jack Thompson.
I enjoyed it…goes for about 90 minutes, has suspense, seems well shot, plausible storyline…would watch it again some day.

Watched Unhinged on telly last night.
I had a few issues with it, but Crowe was very good.
I’d heard it was a bad film, and I kind of get that, but there’s no denying it was engaging.

I usually like watching bad movies as they always seem to have some redeeming characteristics that make them fun to watch…. But raw deal is possibly the worst bad movie I’ve ever seen.
Have you seen Roadhouse?
Purportedly it is in the same category. I am asking as l haven’t seen it, and won’t due to it having such a bad reputation.
As a retired food inspector they certainly had some compliance issues.

I will be content to take your word for it.
I also had issues with 9 1/2 weeks but as it was a private residence it was hard to take it much further.
Unless Mickey Rourke sold fridge contents at a county fair in part 2.
