How could you forget Titanic?

Nah too much lovey dovey story. It overshadowed the disaster.

I mean she threw a valuable piece of jewellery into the water. Dunno why?

Quite place- day 1 is very good. Just had one flaw that stopped it being epic imo

Nothing does tension like a quite place movie though. Almost jumped out of my seat at one of the jump scares

There’s alot of issues with the movie.
It is quite boring but is a baby ever quiet during the concluding part of labor?

Watching Batman Begins.
Batman turned woose after he left league of shadows.

Is Emily in it?

My wife is a huge Celine Dion fan. I…and I’ll be nice here…am not.

However, the new I am Celine doco is very very different from what I feared. Actually, for much of it , it was exactly what I feared. There is a fair chunk of her ego and strange perfectionist quirks in there. But the largely absent makeup hints at something else, and the final scenes flip it all, and brutally, harrowingly contrasts what she once was, the expectations and demands of herself that she still carries - or wants to carry- and the reality of what she now is. And is almost certainly to remain. At best. For a long time.

This isn’t your standard promo-fest, love her or not.

Nope. All new people

Set in the same universe, but all different people in a completely new setting

Had a couple of drinks last night and sat down to watch the latest Mad Max Fury Road and a hour in waiting for the action to start I realised I was watching Road Wars Max Fury!
Would not recommend!
Hope you all are having a great weekend, remember drink responsibly!

Extreme Measures
Thriller about Guy Luthan (Hugh Grant), a British doctor working at a hospital in New York. He starts to make unwanted inquiries when the body of a man who died in his emergency room disappears. The trail leads Luthan to the door of eminent surgeon Dr. Lawrence Myrick (Gene Hackman), but Luthan soon finds himself in danger from people who want the hospital’s secret to remain undiscovered.

Should’ve used his real name as his stage name.

@GrenvoldsGang - are these movies you’ve just watched and recommend?

If so - appreciate the thought and will look them up.

I looked at the trailer for that and it seemed incredibly predictable and clichéd. It only rates 6.2 on imdb, although Roger Ebert quite liked it. Was it actually any good?

Are you referring to Extreme Measures? If so, yes it’s ok, depends what you like in a movie. It’s a mid -90s flick. I’d probably give it a 6/10. It’s under two hours, held my interest, but it’s certainly no academy award winner. Of the three I’ve watched at the in laws this week, it’s bottom of the three (that’s also included Woman in Gold and A Night Train to Lisbon).

These are three I’ve watched this week while at the in-laws. All three are watchable. The synopsis I’ve included are from IMDB. It depends on what you want in a movie. I’d rank them:
A Night Train to Lisbon
Woman in Gold
Extreme Measures

Night Train to Lisbon’s a good film, rewatched it quite recently.

Have just started watching a movie called
The Last Dinosaur.

It’s almost as bad as No Retreat No Surrender 3
