    Its more than about the money with the cult dude they use them to compromise powers that might not have agreed with them previously

    Spinning Gold 6.9/10

    About independent american record company, casablanca records and their success in the 70's.

    It's alright I suppose but couldn't get into it as I'd never heard of Neil Bogart and there wasn't much of a story to tell or it just seemed like it.

    One more to add to the Westerns genre ... Ulzana's Raid ... Burt Lancaster very good in the lead role ... ironically once playing an Apache himself in the film of the same name ... both films based on true events ...

    Bumblebee reboot was decent but seems the new Transformers film is not great. Expected really.

    Hypnotic- turned it off after half an hour.

    I rate Affleck as a director but he's a poor actor.

    It was one of those that’s ‘alright to watch’ but it feels like all transformer movies have a similar plot just with different characters.

    Arrival just started. Might just keep this on.

    Haven't seen it since it came out and remember I thought it was decent.

    So, me and the fiance went to see Barbie. I thought it would be a bit of a comedic film with some over the top effects and jokes in the middle. It's certainly is NOT a kids movie, in fact, anyone who seemed below 12 had left before half way through. It's absolutely an adults film.

    It's extremely political. It's about feminisim, the patriarchy, capitalism everything. It's about everything at once.

    The first half of it is actually quite funny, Ryan Gosling is especially really good as Ken.

    So, spoilers;

    In "Barbieland" Barbies rule with an iron fist, they have every single job, every single political position and the Kens are nothing more than hot men who are purely there to try and impress and get the attention of each Barbie. This is commentary on our world, geddit?

    Barbie and Ken have to visit the human world and there, Ken realises that unlike in Barbieland, here he a hunky, handsome and confident man can get ahead and people love and respect him for just existing. BUt Barbie, a sexy, confident and friendly woman, does not - she's HATED. Especially by other women. Ignoring the fact that the actor, Margot Robbie, built her entire career from being a sexy, confident and friendly woman.

    Ken, falls in love with "patriarchy" and attempts to get a job. He enters a hospital and tries to become a doctor. The female doctor tells him no, as he's not qualified ... He then attempts to go to a bank, who tell him the same thing. Which, kinda tells me there ... ISN'T a patriarchy. Except, when Ken says "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PATRIARCHY" the bank manager replies "OH THERE IS ONE, WE JUST HIDE IT BETTER HERE." Actual dialogue.

    The film is concluded by Ken turning Barbieland into the "Kendom." But a female saves the day, by listing a long, long, long list of things that sucks about being a woman and everyone cheers and the Kendom is returned to Barbieland. The final line is "you kens can have a political position, but not supreme court justice, how about ... I dunno, a congress seat?"

    Again, a line from the final.

    TLDR; Its cringe, don't recommend.

    3 Pregnant Barbies out of 10.

    Was never going to watch it.

    Sounds even worse than I could possibly have imagined.

    Spent a lot of time on that review. I'm not watching. It's clear the guy just likes pink.

    We were wrong about one thing, mate, Margot is absolutely stunning in this one.

    Her legs are unbelievable.
