Man from U.N.C.L.E. 7.5

An excellent retro-style portrayal of the 60's series.

Illya Kuryakin: I was briefed on your criminal career. Your balls are on the end of a very long leash, held by a very short man.

Napoleon Solo: I wonder if it was your father's shame that gave you such drive... Or was it your mother's reputation? I understand that she was extremely popular amongst your father's friends...

thought this was a lot of fun...Ex Machina girl was very good and the 2 dudes hit the right notes with their buddy cop routine. Kinda bombed at the box office and after they made all that effort to set up the sequel.

Walked out of this one and decided to watch Antman.
Both sucked. Need to revisit as I was shyte faced at the time.

Cop Car (2015) 6.5/10

"A small town sheriff sets out to find the two kids who have taken his car on a joy ride." Kevin Bacon's 1st movie role back after his good job on 3 seasons of The Following. Interesting story; if a bit slow; & very easy to catch on; does not pretend to anything else.

Not sure on that stache Mr Bacon

Bad Milo! 2013 (6.5/10)

Official IMDB description is: "A horror comedy centered on a guy who learns that his unusual stomach problems are being caused by a demon living in his intestines."

I don't think this movie is well known locally but it's such a weird one; not as way out there as Tusk (2014) but still downright unusual & entertaining if rather stupid. Btw the demon resides in the lead characters ass; he comes out when the guy is stressed & kills people & then goes back up in his ass!

We also see Dinesh from Silicon Valley fame as well. And Peter Stormare such a versatile actor; always enjoy his supporting roles.

The demon; Milo; has an 80's Gremlins feel to it.

If you saw this movie give me your 2c

Crimson Peak - 6.5/10

Pretty decent watch. Del Torro as usual oozes style. It's beautifully made and sucks you into the atmosphere very well.

Bit light on the story, but the performances from Hiddleston and Chastain make up for it. Haunting stuff.

Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015) 7.5/10

Built up on where Ghost Protocol left off. Good story & constant action; some CGI elements looked slightly subpar but a great Sunday night movie watch.

Special mention to the hot Swedish chick; Simon Pegg always up for a laugh & Tom Cruise molesting the **** out of that M3; coupled with the in your face BMW product placement.

Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015) 7.5/10


Special mention to the hot Swedish chick;

Swede???

Rewatched it yesterday and there's some really dumb scenes not really found in other series.
Like giving a skilled agent a high performance motorcycle so she can escape.

I hated this movie. Could not understand how it got such good reviews. Think I watched an hour or so and switched it off.

Some dumb scenes yes; some shoddy CGI ties into my negatives.

And yes the lead chick is Swedish dude; born in Sweden; check Wiki & IMDB.

But it's a good high action; good story watch.

:wtf:
Stunt driver molesting the **** out of the M3, or if you must... Ethan Hunt molesting the **** out of the M3. But not ole Tommie Cruise believe me.

Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015) 7/10
Better than some of the previous MI movies. This movie is purely for action fans and not for movie conneuseur snobs. Don't expect too much. This movie is all about mindless action and not much more. At times the movie feels like a Bond wannabe movie. Not bad, but not great. I was never the less entertained throughout.

Visions (2015) 6/10

"After moving to a vineyard to start a new life with her husband, a pregnant woman begins to experience terrifying visions." Slow paced thriller with a bit of a twist at the end. Isla Fisher & Sheldon from TBBT who hardly does any movie roles.

The Factory (2012) - 4/10

Serial killer movie that started off good but then devolved into a generic storyline and a stupid twist which you can smell coming a mile away.
