Yeah it was entertaining. I did have 8+ beers but far out if I wasn't into financial markets I would have walked out in the first 15minutes.

Good adaptation of the book no doubt given the topic but book trumps as usual of course

I thought it was a great movie. Not great in a cinematic sense but a good movie. Will watch it again in HD

There are actually some good guys on Wall St? Dam.

Read a couple of books by Michael Lewis. He's a pretty good story teller.
 
Peculiar Children trailor

I watched the latest James Bond blockbuster "Spectre" the other night.


I wouldn't say it was a great film, to much stuffing around without any apparent reason.

Too long and fairly anti climatic at the end.
 
The Brothers Grimsby

Almost made myself sick from laughing so hard.

If you are into Cohen's toilet humour, this one takes it to a whole new level..... even more provoking than the birth scene in the The Dictator
 
I took my nieces to see Zootopia on the weekend, and was surprised at how good it was, I think this movie is as much for adults as it is for children.




Shakira does the song for the movie,

Don't tell me you watch Chris Tuckman's reviews too. Or you watch trailers and movie review because who else wouldn't find that the next best thing to actual movies.

Saw Superman v Batman... it's not as bad as some are saying. Not good either... kinda messy and long for the wrong reason... Not sure I'd want to see Justice League after this one. Well I'll see it, just not on the list.

The new C.America is practically Avengers though. I know it's not, but the entire team ex Hulk and Hawkeye is there. Guess they shouldn't mess with a multi-billion dollar formula ey.

I don't normally watch reviews, but I watch a trailers if I am excited about the movie, and I check rotten tomatoes

I think I will wait for superman vs batman to be on Netflix, lol.

I think Hawkeye is in c.america civil war isn't he? I am just glad Sony loosened their grip on spidey, and let him back into the Disney marvel universe.
 

Oh yea, Rotten Tomatoes for what's coming up and overview of critics reviews.

SvB isn't the kind of movie you'd want to see on an iPad. Wait, Chromecast... don't tell me you got a cinema at home too dude. I'm just starting to be allowd some sound on the TV.

Spidey is pretty cool, though I prefer Venom. Never read comics, just collect cards way back then but Venom looks way crazy... until they ruin it in te last outing. He has a movie coming out too right?

Winter... it's like Xmas again.

I access Netflix via an Apple TV unit plugged into my big screen, it's also handy for watching you tube, ten play, Bloomberg or downloading movies directly that aren't on Netflix.

I just watched Spider-Man 3 tonight for the first time, Venom is in that one, he is a pretty crazy character, I liked it.

Spidey 1, 2, 3 and 4 are all on Netflix at the moment.
 

Where we're going we don't need Netflix

The kids just got Google Chromecast from my brother recently. Much like AppleTV I'm guessing. Pretty awesome. Also got us a Bose Bluetooth speaker... amazing all these gadgets isn't it.

Oh yea, Hawkeye will be in the new CA:CV.

---
No Spidey 4. It was a reboot. I know, do we really need an origin story. They did the same in Superman v Batman. Focus and advance the story dudes... but Batman was awesome though.
 

Yeah, I just watched spidey 4, I mean a slightly different version of spidey 1 tonight, it was ok, but I think I prefer tobey as spidey, I do have a bit of a thing for Emma stone though, lol.

Emma Stone is definitely more likeable than what's her name from Interview with the Vampire. btw, didn't know Stone was half Japanese, half Hawaiian.
 
Hell or High Water

I thought it's a very good movie. A bit like No Country for Old Man. Less violent, a bit of fine social commentary in a film about family, brotherhood.

Ben Foster is pretty good. Like his work in 310 to Yuma. Probably will check out his other movies since.
And the new Captain Kirk is not so annoying here. Though is character is a bit of an a hole now that I think about it.
