I never figured out why she did what she did. Like, why subject yourself to all that?

Money.

Money.

Umm uhhh yeah but there could've been easier ways than the things she did.

Superman: (2025) 7.5/10

1. This is a popcorn movie. Fun for a watch!
2. I think he's really Karl Urban cosplaying as Superman
3. They REALLY nailed the look of Superman flying!
4. Love me some Alan Tudyk!
5. Mr. Terrific was awesome! Great mask! Next movie needs to be a buddy cop movie with him & Superman. Great fight scene. Reminded me of the Quicksilver scene from X-men.
6. Killer graphics. Metamorpho looked awesome! Mr. Terrific's spaceship looked real. We take great CGI for granted these days!
7. Nathan Fillion's haircut was AMAZING lol. He needs his own movie!

I was really disappointed with this film and I wasn't expecting a lot tbh. My favourite bit was Nathan Fillions Green Lantern, he got the character well.
The rest of it was a bit charmless. Like it didn't know what it always aiming for. Mr Terrific was ok but they seemed to vacillate between him being a geek or a ninja and not knowing which to pick. Hawkgirl was pretty unused.

It was a definite meh out of ten for me.

What surprised me was that the actor is actually REALLY good:

I would love to see him shine in more dramatic roles.

The Water Diviner - 8/10 (2014) Russell Crowe

It's a very subdued, low key movie about an Aussie soldier/farmer. He loses all 3 of his sons at the battle of Gallipoli (Turkey) in WWI and returns a few years later to try to recover their bodies.

So, the plot is a little bit of a bummer but often very light hearted. Very much a sleeper.

another good film !!!!

I watched Bank Of Dave - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14308636/reference/

English comedy-drama (and it works, for once), based on the real life history of the titular Bank "on" Dave.

Local Burnley entrapreneur Dave has been helping his community for years with private, legal loans, and gets convinced to open a small, regional boutique bank; this requires clearance from the egregiously corrupt Financial Regulation Board, which are abhorred by the idea that a "peasant" could be allowed to open a bank - only THE BOYS get to own bank, not the working plebs.

Well acted (if fairly composed), well paced, well directed, nice music, great story, good dialogues, the ending's a bit weak, but overall a great little film. YMMV if you don't find the yorkshire accept particularly funny.

7.5/10

Apparently the bank is fictional. He never got the licence.

That right there is the lovechild of Jim from the Office & John Mullaney

it's now a lending company called "Bank ON Dave" because this was it doesn't give the consumer an impression that it's an actual bank.

The Wikipedia page goes into a fair bit of detail into what is correct and what is fictitious in the film.

And there's an actress called Naomi Battrick that is absolutely gorgeous. I would say it's worth watching.

I did watch the movie and it was enjoyable.
