Just watched border town, starring Jenifer Lopez. The film is about the rapes and murders of women in a mexican border town.
It a true story, with the usual dramatising. It was not enjoyable because of the subject matter, however it was gripping and makes you realise how unlucky some people are, for those reasons well worth watching.
Woke up this morning breathing that's a good start to the day.

Jungle Cruise

Really solid Disney movie. All star cast. Dwayne Johnson on a jungle expedition. Can't go wrong really, thumbs up.

There was a review of this on the BBC a few days back - I hadn't thought it was even released yet!!

Looks like fun, so I'll certainly give it a go - thanks for the heads up :thumb:

Pretty recent. It was released July 24th! I think I downloaded it around the same date.

I watched A Quiet Place last night in the early hours... all alone... in the dark... and silence...

Part 2 tonight. Probably. Unless I lose my nerve...

📢 Whoop whoop, I see the new Suicide Squad is out for download. Cracking reviews all round.



I'm having trouble accessing the usual yts.mx but I found it on a clone site here https://yts.rs/movie/the-suicide-squad-2021.

I got it from YTS a few days ago. No problem at all. In fact it came down at 32 mbps (express vpn)

Great movie and very funny.

Don't know why I can't access the normal yts. Been down for a day or two now, but the other site is fine anyway so no drama now. :D

Edit: Ah feck, I must have accidentally flipped the 'use vpn for private tabs only' switch on the vpn settings. It's working fine now. Ho hum, I'm a couple of days late to the suicide squad party. No biggie. 8)

Enjoy! :D

I thought the first one was just ok. Got a rotten rotten tomatoes score. But the 2nd one is supposed to be a cracker. You don't need to have seen the first to watch the second apparently. They're not connected.

Not usually my cup of tea but will give it a go and not because of Margot Robbie(if I was fifteen I would be spraying all over the room :laugh: :laugh: ).

There is a shiny copy of F9 (the one that was shot in Thailand) on YIFY: https://yts.mx/movies/f9-2021

F9 has really bad ratings, and I mean BAD. However, I'll probably give it a go just because it was filmed in Thailand.
