Just saw The Hustle on Netflix. It's almost a take for take copy of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, which is one of my favourite comedies from back in day. Except not half as funny. That is the second week in a row when I've watched a film and wish i never bothered, which is why i tend not to watch a lot remakes. Expect for this one I did know it was gonna be a blatant ripp off of film I liked so much.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Godzilla King of the Monsters. They have failed to get the right balance in these films. In the first film directed by Gareth Edwards there was not enough Godzilla and too much time spent with mostly boring human characters. This film has loads of awesome monsters and spectacular fights. Some of them can be a bit difficult to make out what is happening with the mist, water, debris and such getting in the way. The last half hour was an immense, rollercoaster assault on the senses, and was fantastic cinema. Unfortunately we still have the boring human spouting exposition scenes, with some really bad dialogue and making some really stupid decisions. Is it too hard to make some interesting characters that you care about? Jurassic Park managed to do it all those years ago and still have exciting dinosaur stuff. Despite this I still enjoyed the film , just hope they can make the humans more interesting in the next film.

Netflix have started adding Studio Ghibli films to the service. There is only a few on there at the moment, but I read somewhere that they will add one a week. Not sure if it will be all of em, but i think there will be 28 of them in the end.

@Pzvejas Well, I'm happy that Parasite won those awards as well as Jaoquin Phoenix winning for Best Actor In A Leading Role and Joker winning for Best Score. Nice to see Taika winning for his screenplay for Jojo Rabbit as well.
Can't speak for some of the other categories like Best Actress In A Leading Role and Best Actress In A Supporting Role since I didn't watch most of the movies the nominees were in.
What did you guys think about Brad Pitt winning Best Actor in a Supporting Role? Personally, I couldn't decide between him, Al Pacino, Tom Hanks and Joe Pesci.lol
@Jaz007 I heard it was OK but I have an unnatural dislike for all things Harley Quinn. Not a film I would pay money to see and I reckon plenty were burned by the dumpster fire that was Suicide Squad.
Just watched Love Exposure. It’s the greatest 4 hour romantic comedy I’ve ever seen. Honestly, it’s incredible but really hard to put into words. It’s 4 hours, Japanese and utterly insane.
