Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre (2023)

It had a bunch of great moments but I have seen better films by Guy.

Tried to watch The Girl on the Train. Erased it after 10 minutes because it is trash.

You should try the book.
It's a doozy.

Highschool of the Body Snatchers
aka
The School where Clichés Come to Die

I mean,
The Faculty


Kinda good, actually.
Well written characters (a captain of the football team who doesn't want to be a jock? What?!)
Give it a try.
Or not.

Whatever you do, don't fall for this girl:

Tomb Raider (2018)

It works pretty good as an origin story.

7/10 for me.

Bullet Train

Entertaining but not memorable.
Good to see Brad Pitt playing such a positive guy.



What a nice family portrait!

Monster Hunter (2020)

Only Milla Jovovich made it worthwhile to watch. The monsters looked good.

It seems that the new Scooby-Doo adjacent show is the worst thing ever.

have you seen it?

[Kyriakos]

have you seen it?

No, but it has 7% vote at rotten tomatoes and literally all the reviews on youtube laugh at it. Even Pitch Meeting (which always mocks stuff anyway) was unusually brutal ^^

[Kyriakos]

I just saw a mocking review of it :o

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

9 April

Danish Army shows how to do a Fighting Retreat all the way to the end.
Perfectly realistic.

Seriously, what is up with these helmets, son?

[Kyriakos]

I guess no one is watching the Last of Us?
Reasonable. It collapsed even faster than Walking Dead.

[Kyriakos]

Saw Knock at the Cabin.
While I didn't like the end, it has some good moments imo up to that, and Bautista certainly can act...

[Flinn]

It's Batista, dammit

And yes he can act, I also watched the movie and it's a 9 for me for his acting.

[Kyriakos]

I don't get it :/ It is Bautista. Iirc he is part Greek too. But yes, he CAN act and I hope he continues to do awesomely ^^

edit: I now read he was using "Batista" as a wrestler, but his surname is Bautista.

[Kyriakos]

Last of Us ep5 was (like ep2,3,4) crap.
Using very extensive fast forward, but I will likely not watch more eps of this.

Michael Crichton was way ahead in general, happened quite the same with the Timeline movie

Agree 100%.


Infinity Pool

Not really what I expected.
Weird concept but cool visuals.
Also Mia Goth = FIRE.
