Film recommendation.

That had been suggested to me too... also read a bit about it online and earmarked it as the next cab off the rank ;)

Any Scorcese fans out there?

Great movie to watch before a game of paintball.

I quite liked The Killing by Kubrik.

There was an awful 80's Paintball thriller called Masterblaster. Does anyone remember it?

And don't watch Eyes Wide Shut

Or AI. what a stinking heap of shark that was

Casino was a good long film, Goodfellows was brilliant

I just watched "Bambi" with my young fella. What a classic worth watching again. I hope the hunter that killed Bambi's mother choked on the venison.

mmmmm, venison.

The Belier Family. Excellent French comedy, great music, heartwarming story line.

I am looking forward to seeing that flick "Joy" looks interesting and not my usual type of film.

I took the Mrs to the movies on the weekend for our anniversary. Her choice, so we ended up at Sisters. Just before the start of the movie I look around and notice that I'm the only guy in the theatre (though one other did arrive with his Mrs 30 seconds into it). Wasn't the worst movie either, kind of like a Will Ferrell movie but with girls.

Recently saw Sicario with Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro. 

Brutal (in places), lush visuals, amazing soundtrack and decent story line. Pretty good thriller.

Watched "Ted 2" last night and I thought it was very funny. A different storyline to the original which was a good move. Not rehashing the first too much. 

Came across a film by Matt Dillon called City of Ghosts. I am not sure if it is that great a film but...   I watched it all.
 
Safe to say that he packed in a multitude of cinema cliches.

The soundtrack is worth a listen if the film doesn't do it for you.

Soundtrack example.

Just watched Anchorman again. It never got a mention when everyone was wetting themselves over Leo DeCaprio fighting a CGI bear in The Revenant. Anchorman has a much more realistic fight scene

 At least the News Team actually fight real bears!

Spotlight. Outstanding movie about the journalists who took on the Catholic church to expose bad priests.

I watched the Charlie Brown / Peanuts movie and loved it. It reminded me of the distant passed when we got the rare cartoon as a kid on TV at Christmas time. I reckon they really did Schulz a favour with this film. It touched all the bases.

Hunt for Wilderpeople.  Great little kiwi movie. Plenty of laughs in the theatre

Eddie the Eagle.

Fluffy, false, fudgeing brilliant soundtrack.

The Big Short was brilliant. All star cast about the housing bubble that led to the GFC. Pretty crazy stuff. Steve Carell was amazing. He's so good in dramatic roles.

watched it a couple of times now, but if you haven't seen the Big Short, it is a must

You won't be voting for Don Key after watching that one

Captain America Civil War. Watched it today. If you are into the Marvel universe then you will love it. Introduces 3 more heroes. I enjoyed it. 2 1/2 hours too.

Am I the only one that got most of the "in Jokes" including the 4th estate when watching and loving "Deadpool" ?? I thought it was confused the first time but the second time it all fell into proper place. Yes, I knew during the first time that it jumps back and forth in time.

Just saw Tickled. What the actual fudge?!

Perhaps a spot of competitive tickling at the BB next season?

Just got in from 3D  Independence Day. 8.5 out of 10. Most of the original cast and a simi,ar story but it is also adding new charactors and a decent plot. I enjoyed it. 2 hours of escapism and ignore the odd plot hole.

There's a new kiwi sci-fi comedy - trailer:

This Giant Papier Mache Boulder Is Actually Really Heavy

It won best comedy in Boston and London.

Premieres July 3 at Devonport, Auckland.

My Flatmate just got back from it and said it was complete dog shark

Perhaps he was expecting an academy award performance. It is a sci fi action movie. Cornball like the first one but a fun ride regardless.

it's pretty bad. But there is a 25 minute or so period where it's quite entertaining. 

A bit like watching the nix. 

Maybe that is why I enjoyed it?? Familiarity breeds contempt?

as you said, it was a bit of escapism. It's not exactly trying to win any academy awards. 

I thought it was great to see Jasmin 20 years later, from pole dancer to dr. She wS smoking hot 20 years ago and still looks good.

Whiskey tango foxtrot The little prince Both very good watches.

Oh and Next Goal Wins - about the American Samoan soccer team. Fantastic film.

I watched "The Lady in the Van" last night. Was an excellent British movie based on a true story. The author of the original book whom knew the lady, makes a cameo at the end of the film. Maggie Smith at her best. I love these sort of films, some real gems. Best Hotel Marigold was another good one too.

I went to David Brent: Life on the Road. If you liked The Office, you'll love this. Brent at his cringe worthy best. The songs are quite catchy as well with hilarious lyrics

The Lobster.What sort of mind thinks up that?Very strange movie.

Someone was telling me about this recently. Sounds super messed up but it's on my watch list
