Another Round
Was decent. Great performance by Mads. That ending though, is now cinema classic.

Theres quite a few things i would have done differently (and im sorry but better) in The Dry. I still say the second to last scene was just stupid af and very disappointing.
Will keep an eye out for that film. Parents finally getting nbn i should be able to DL it there..?

There's Something About Mary.
First watch in 20 years or so, remembered it as being hilarious, but its dated really badly. Still some funny bits but at 2 hours and 10 mins way too long.
At least Cameron Diaz never wore a bra so her nipples kept my attention for the whole film
5/10

Watched For a Few Dollars More last night as it was on Fox Classics. Van Cleef terrific but guy who plays Indio stole the show. Leone a genius, the music, shots, dirt and sweat...brilliant

James Cameron's The Abyss (1989)
I think i watched the directors cut because it was almost 3 hours and IMDB has it at 2 hours 20 mins. Great film, brilliant special effects for a film made that long ago but i found the last 20 mins or so which i found ridiculous. Still worth a watch. Best described as Alien under the sea. 9/10 for the first 2 1/2 hours. 5 out of 10 for the ending.

Ammonite - Francis Lee's follow up to the great LGBT film God's Own Country, this features Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan as the noted 19th century paleontologist Mary Anning and geologist Charlotte Murchison. Entirely fictitious, it is about their relationship working together, progressing into a romantic attraction between the two of them. This film was a little slow going, but I enjoyed it and found the two great leads worked well together. While not as great as Lee's prior film, great performances from two of the best actresses of their respective generations make this worth watching.
The White Tiger - based on Aravind Adiga's Booker Prize winning novel, this tells of a young man in India's rise from poverty into great economic success. Worming his way into becoming a driver for a wealthy family and realising how taken for granted he is by them, he plots his way into becoming indispensable to them and then for more. With themes reminiscent of Parasite, it isn't quite as enthralling and shocking a critique of the modern corrupt, capitalist system as that classic masterpiece is, but still a very good movie, with a protagonist who remains charming and someone you're cheering on, no matter how increasingly awful his actions become.

Crazy. Him going down that deep to find the aliens at the end was an awesome pay off.

The special effects ruined it for me though, They were like a bad 1970s cartoon.
I think it's an underrated film but your points about the effects and the slopping final third mean it probably always will be.

Bill & Ted Face the Music
It wasn't the most excellent movie I've ever watched, but it certainly wasn't a bogus journey either
. I've read opinions where the second half was better than the first half........... I thought the first half was better myself though. The daughters were good in parts, average in others (granted I thought the blonde/Bill's daughter was too try hardish, while Ted's daughter was bang on in the mannerisms.... not so much in speaking though).
3/5

Like reading these for an idea but reading plot reveals is average such as the Abyss^^^^ end payoff
