Dazzler 5419 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I watched the beekeeper the other day. Basically just a John Wick rip off with Jason Statham doing a terrible attempt at an American accent for the first five minutes before the director clearly got fed up and had someone ad lib a line about him sounding British so he could sack it off. Someone kills his bees (and makes an old lady he barely knows top herself) and he goes on a rampage. It's proper shite and entertaining in equal measure. I submit it for consideration to the academy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it as men or women in charge equals bad and that the whole Barbie world needed both working together to be successful, so the very definition of equality. That said the film was a bit shit, however had a handful of moments that genuinely made me laugh. Some of the meta fourth wall breaking shit was well done, like Barbie crying because she was ugly and the narrator taking genuine offence at Margot Robbie being cast in the role and then crying about being ugly.

Ayatollah Hermione 12757 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I thought Barbie did what it set out to fairly well but it was definitely desperate to tell you how clever it really was. No wonder Fish likes it 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my Sci fi, especially the more "realistic" stuff which this was portrayed as. But all I could see with this was science and tech stuff that made no sense to me at all. A poor man's 2001. And yet it gets rave reviews, so aye, fancy seeing what I'm missing after a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 4833 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Interstellar is superb. I rewatched it last week. I also watched The Martian as well, after I read the book a few years ago. Both the book and movie are good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17723 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Loved the Martian. It was plausible. Just started "For all mankind" last night. Was okay but a bit boring tbh. Just checked and it gets 8.1 on IMDb but it's 40 episodes long! Wtf, I can't commit to that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
