I've seen A Quiet Place the other day. It's actually pretty good. I'm not that into horror movies but this one isn't too scary. I'd say the story is the best part of it.

Deadpool 2 at cinema.... good but like all sequels slightly less than the original 7/10
Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket - Eric Hoffer
This is not about a movie, nor is it a review, but this seems to be the least inappropriate thread.
Sacha Baron Cohen, of Ali G and Borat fame, has a new show starting 10.30PM Monday on SOHO "Who is America". Cohen has been interviewing various US "personalities" such as Judge Roy Moore, Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney, all unaware of who he was. Dick Cheney even autographed Cohen's "water boarding kit". Sometimes the cringe factor in Cohen's shows gets right up there, but he can be very funny.,
Anyhoo now you know. OK it's nearly wine o' clock. Enjoy your weekend.

I'm torn. He is a really clever bastard (let's not forget he is a queens council lawyer), but bullying is bullying. If he 'dead pans' his interviews (as the sadist in me would like), he could take the piss for hours without them realising.
On the other hand, some of these cunts are horrible people...and I hope I'm smart enough to see where they are being made the fool.
Incredibles 2
Nice arse. Decent cartoon bike scene as well but mainly nice arse.
IP Man 2
Not a bad martial arts film if you like that sort of thing.
Two sequels in one day. Would not bother looking out for the first one but would watch the original Ip Man if it was on. Think IP Man 3 is on Viceland next week.
Deadpool 2.
Oddly, after all the positive reviews I found it "underwhelming". The plot seemed too scattered-about with unnecessary characters who distracted from the storyline. DP1 was a lot more "focused" and a lot funnier.
6/10
The Hitman's Bodyguard.
This movie was great. Two full-noise loud mouth lead actors and a couple of great supporting actors who kept the movie rolling along happily. Even a bus full of penguins was entertaining...
8.5/10
TOP QUOTE: “The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.”
Sacha Baron Cohen's TV show "Who is America" has given birth to its first law suit. Judge Roy Moore is sueing Cohen for US$95 million for calling him a paedophile. The skit showed Cohen as a former Mosad agent waving a "paedophile detector" which started to beep when it got close to Moore.
Moore apparently had a reputation for hanging around the local Mall trying to chat up school girls when he was a thirty five year old District Attorney.
Anyhoo, more sober legal minds say the action doesn't stand a chance.
Moore's other recent claim to fame was when he stood for election to the US Senate and on polling day turned up to vote on horseback. This gave thousands of grateful people a genuine opportunity to say, "Fuck you - and the horse you rode in on".

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs on Netflix.
Great entertainment, a series of short stories all set in the old west, has Liam Neeson as the only "hollywood" name and he says nothing at all. Is a Cohen brothers production. Recommend!

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. ( edited)
If you were brought up on a diet of black and white TV, trips to local cinemas to see Westerns and War movies plus like American cars and Neon signs this is for you. Attention to detail is excellent.
Spoiler Alert:
The VW beetle that they jump up on down on in the Manson Ranch is at least a 1968 or later and not an earlier rusty wreck as portrayed.

DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
Uh, you mean ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, right? because ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST is also an excellent movie but does not have Charlie Manson in it.
I have not seen OUATIH yet because the film festival is on here and I am seeing shit you... people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

If you havent seen OUATITW you should, its excellent. Sergio Leone, Henry Fonda ... a few film festivals ago they had a newly restored 70mm print of it. It was fan fucking tastic.
I love Westerns too.
