Turned out to be a RomCom with Simon Pegg (who Im not usually a fan of) but Lake Bell was in it (she'd be on the laminate card) so was happy to give it a go. Wasn't a bad flick, had a few pretty funny moments. And did I mention Lake Bell?

Started watching this at lunch time but had to go back to work. Looked OK. So did the movie.

Yep, spot on JK. I also found it to be quite a disappointing film.

Took the Mrs to see Tim Burtons newest movie. I didn't have high hopes, but I was still disappointed.
Very slow build up. The acting wasn't great. The relationships between characters seemed forced, and the signature Tim Burton creepiness was very lacking.
Top that off with boring climaxes and it was pretty bland and forgettable. I actually forgot I had seen it until someone asked me what I'd done over the weekend. My first response was "did nothing on Sunday".
Also, towards the end, something simple and obvious happens, that if happened at the beginning, would've solved everyones problems straight away.
Gonna give it a solid 3/10

At 3's it should probably qualify for the 'Worst movies' thread...

Based on a true story of an inside job robbery from the US mid 00's, pretty solid cast and performances and some interesting characters within the move.
I'd give it a 6.5/10 and suggest there'd be worse movies you could queue up on Netflix.

Speaking of movies based on true stories from the mid-naughties, saw "War Dogs" on a flight recently. Jonah Hill and someone else I can't recall as two young guys who get involved in the dirty business of selling arms to the US government.
7/10. Worth a look, but with most adaptations from the truth it's hard to know what's really true and what's been doctored for dramatic effect.
