Just watched blackhat, on neon I think. Its about hackers so of course it has people feverishly typing on keyboards without ever making spelling mistakes or swearing about missing a control character from a command.

I think I need to get my hearing tested as I missed some of the dialogue. The other explanation could be actors mumble these days.

It's a bit average - 4/10.

Old Guard!

Don't really remember much about it.

There was some biffing and shooting, a goggle-eyed baddie and the rest is fuzz.

It wasn't so bad. The Old Guard was a good entertainment. Teenage daughter loved it, perhaps because of the female lead.

The Old Guard - 7/10

Enjoyed the movie. Good action scenes. Really like the swift movements from the soldiers. The bad guy was a generic disappointment though.

Did anyone else realise that its Dudley from Harry Potter?

Just saw it two days ago and already can’t even remember the bad guy!

Looks like Christopher Nolan's Tenet will release internationally before the U.S.

Probably a good commercial argument for a release in NZ given that we can all go to the movies here...

I was reading that the studios have a concern around piracy, if this gets released outside of NA first...the box office is potentially going to get hit if people have already seen it via Torrents or whatever.

Personally, I think they would be better to release it to markets where people can go to the cinemas and make some money while they can. The US is toast for a long time...it'll end up on the shelf indefinitely if it doesn;t get released soon.

which version ?

i recently watched a grindhouse/raw scan of an original print of empire - so refreshing to be free of Lucas' later meddling.

a proper 4k scan is in the works, meanwhile scans of star wars and return of the jedi have been done and look amazing.

The Last Black Man in San Francisco 8/10

Made for US$2 million. Danny Glover and Rob Morgan in supporting roles. Brad Pitt had a role in production. Arty with wider appeal. Nice views and perspectives of San Fran. Best movie I've seen this year. Neon.
