I've struggled through an hour of it - I guess I'm too old and have lost my sense of humour. I'm going to bed :?

Yes, I think it was just a sense of humour failure on my part. My son and his wife were having belly laughs from about 5 minutes on.

Like you, BB. After an hour I was scratching my head. Don't have a clue what it's about.
I read somewhere that 'westerners' have problems with this movie whereas Asians tend to get it immediately!

For horror movie fans, try
'Drag me to Hell' from 2009. One of the scariest I've seen in a while. Impossible to doze off while watching.

Easily in my top 5 favourite horror movies that. It's on BBC iplayer at the mo too, just recently watched it again for the hundredth time. Sam Raimi at his best. He also directed the new Dr Strange movie, so I'm hoping there's a decent horror element to that.

Had some dire reviews - so hadn't bothered. Might just attempt it now, if only to extract the urine afterwards with regards to your movie choices.

Forget the reviews. It's mindless, over-the-top, action packed fun. Armageddon meets Independence Day meets (insert more disaster movies). Some big name actors in it too.

If you're looking for a clever, meaningful movie... this ain't it. :D

:cheers:
I got around to watching Moonfall last night. It wasn't a classic, but very watchable. Certainly a lot better than the reviews/IMDB rating. I guess there weren't enough special effects for sci-fi freaks.

We watched Fatherhood yesterday. A nice light hearted movie with a few funny bits. Enjoyed it.

As it is in most of the world with a few exceptions, Thailand being one of them.
