What is the truth .

Have to admit I’m inclined to believe that it’s OK since Niamh has confessed to liking the first Suicide Squad movie, which was barely watchable

…I didn’t realise that there were two Suicide Squad movies …Suicide Squad and The Suicide Squad, how confusing…it’s been coming up on my Netflix watches and I’ve ignored it, thinking that I’ve seen it before but that’s another version….I’ll give it a watch now that I know…

The Mule

Clint Eastwood (88!)

7/10 imdb
7.5/10 LT

Due to financial issues, horticulturist Earl Stone becomes a courier for a drug cartel. Slowly, he grows closer to his estranged family, but his illegal activities threaten much more than his life.

Really enjoyed this cant believe Clint still acting and directing at 88. Great ending too.

…The Girl in the Bathtub….…this was quite weird, it’s hard to know how to feel about it in a movie version like this….it’s something I could more imagine being an ‘unsolved crime’ and as an unsolved crime, it would probably spark lots of thoughts….a bit like the story of Elisa Lam…?…it was bleak, it was dark…there really was no light to be found in it but I was intrigued by the synopsis and it does hold your attention….with it also being a true story…?…it’s very difficult to rate because the ending can’t obviously be anything other than it was and the whole story couldn’t be anything other than it was ….I wanted to see it through and know the story …but…bleak….

I feel like the characters are better handled as well. It's a shame it's kinda bombed so far though, but I guess people aren't that excited about DC films given how they're more likely to be stinkers than winners these days.

They probably could do with a reboot at this point, WB needs to find their own Kevin Feige to shepherd a cohesive vision for the DC films really. They should keep a few of the actors on board (I honestly can't see anyone but Margot Robbie playing Harley these days), but they need to clear the board.

I agree although the thing with DC and multiverse is that they can soft-reboot without a full reboot which allows for keeping some actors on. Although, casual viewers (ok viewers who aren’t big ol’ geeks) might struggle to understand that sort of shift compared to full recasting. I think Momoa has really “owned” the Aquaman role too and made a believable superhero out of one that was thought of as a bit of a joke. I also think Cavill is a good superman, although I wouldn’t be totally against a new supes. The suit itself is iconic enough to carry the character.

I strongly suspect they’re doing Flashpoint or something Flashpointesque for The Flash movie so they may well be going down this route. There’s footage going about of them filming a chase scene from The Flash in George Square (Glasgow) recently and it features Batman on a bat-motorbike so pretty much confirmed there will be SOME sort of Batman in that movie - but I don’t think it’s Batfleck.

Porridge, with Ronnie Barker.

My Texan husband recently discovered the TV series and thinks it's the funniest thing he's ever seen, so we found the film. Although dated now, it is still very funny.

…Extra Ordinary…if there’s something strange in your neighbourhood…who you gonna call…?…really touching and sweet characters and lovely and hugely fun paranormal comedy story…Maeve Higgins, Barry Ward, Claudia O’Doherty../…all gorgeous….…

Hmm, I thought Affleck had huffed his way right out of the franchise . Maybe they enticed him back with a paycheck and a promise that the reason he's in it is to hand over to his replacement .

To be fair though I still think he plays "Batman on the brink of retirement" quite well in Justice League. It was just a bit of an odd decision to go straight into a DC "Movies Universe" with a "late stage" Batman who has already fought and beaten all of his major villains, met, fought alongside and lost his Robins, etc. .

Candyman

Absolutely brilliant. I expected a remake but this was a sequel to the original. I would suggest watching that on netflix first, they explain it well enough if you don't but I watched it and enjoyed this a lot because I was familiar with the original.

The original is brilliant.
It's rare to find a remake that is good.
I really want to watch this now,

The Batman from the Flashpoint comic...

Spoiler:

...Wasn't Bruce, but his father Thomas Wayne. In the Flashpoint universe, it was just Bruce who was killed in the mugging. Thomas became Batman, and Martha became

Spoiler:

Joker.

Flashpoint is set "now", so Flashpoint Batman is kinda old. Despite being in an aborted timeline, he pops up now and then, trying to make Bruce retire from Batmanning so he can be happy.

Instead of landing on the Kents' farm, Supes ended up being a government test subject

Yeah, the ole Weather Butterfly's wingbeats were really messed up by Barry's mum being saved

Mirage - 8/10

Spanish and subbed, but Netflix does have an English dub if you prefer.

Back in the eighties, a 12 year old boy (Nico) witnesses a murder across the street. He runs out,and gets hit by a car. He used to film himself playing guitar, and had a big suitcase full of tapes.

In the present, a young couple (Vera and David) have moved into Nico's old home. Vera finds his old TV and tapes. They notice the timestamp shows the last tape was from that date, but in 1989.

A friend of the couple knew Nico as a boy, and tells them more about him.

Both of those nights -Nico dying, Vera finding the tapes- are connected by the start of a 72 hour electrical storm. So let's just say three hours into the storm in the present is "the same as" three hours into the storm in the past.

Affected by the story of Nico's death, Vera is re-watching the last tape on his old TV. But the parallel storms mean they can see and hear each other. She earns him that if he leaves the house, he will die.

The next morning, she wakes up to fix everything is different.......

Wow in the Flash TV show all that really changed was that he somehow inexplicably gender-swapped John Diggle's baby (Sara Diggle was replaced by John Diggle Jr) . Although I think that was actually after he went back and undid it, and came back to find out that everything was "close" to back to normal but some minor changes had occurred that he couldn't fix (which served as a lesson blah blah blah). Although IIRC Oli Queen in post-Crisis Minecraft Creative Mode actually brought back Sara Diggle when he created Earth Prime and they now both exist as twins.
