Checked out "Uncut Gems" on Netflix over the weekend. I found it a decent enough movie, yet oddly would completely understand if someone else found it terrible. It's a pretty gripping, edge-of-your-seat tale that revolves around Jewellery store owner owner Howard Ratner and the high stakes bets he places weighed up against his increasing debts to loan sharks and pawn shops. Whether you like the movie or not, I'd be surprised if we didn't all agree on how surprisingly good Adam Sandler's portrayal of the central character is. Without seeing the other nominee's, I'm surprised he didn't earn an Oscar nom for his performance which was exceptional, and a far cry from what we've seen from him before. This flick can be slow in parts so I watched it over two sittings and actually think for many that might be the best way to go about it.

I'm curious about this one, I hate Adam Sandler but everyone is taking up his performance in this film, keen to see how well he transitions to non-comedy.

It’s worth a look just for that .. Kevin Garnett does alright too, but Sandler is the highlight

Joaquin Phoenix won the Oscar for best actor for his role as the Joker.
I didn't love the movie but wow he was fantastic in it IMO

I never used to like it much but we watched "Step-Brothers" again the other night and had a good laugh.

Daddy's Home II was funny as and I stumbled across the Benchwarmers over the weekend too which is always good for a stupid laugh.

American Reunion was on last night, the shit in the esky was gold as was Jason trying to sneak the neighbour back inside.

I think it had something to do with my step-sons watching it when they were probably a bit young for what was going on, I was a bit blind-sided to the style of humour.

I didn't love the movie, but Phoenix was exceptional, drew me in. Thought the movie was a bit slow as it played out the story but when it finished I appreciated the build up and how it all came together.

Went from 0-100 real quick at the end.

Enjoyed it in the end, but didn't love it.

actually we are going to interview as a team!! We are here to f*** sh*t up

Did you just fart?

"Hey Derek, you know what's good for shoulder pain?"
"What?"
"If you lick my butt-hole"



"I have a belly full of white dog crap in me and now you lay this crap on me?"

Boats and Ho’s

watched it again last night!!! So funny!!

Watched the long awaited movie conclusion to Deadwood last night. Was a bit of a weird feeling on several fronts - Re-acquainting with characters I hadn't seen in more than a decade and watching something that was filmed for movie purposes rather than a weekly series (can't really put my finger on it, but there was a noticeable difference). Then there was obviously the age changes to contend with (which were surprisingly stark in some, yet not as pronounced in others).

Anyhoo, what started as a trepidation filled view fairly quickly slipped right back into the zone of yesteryear(s) as soon as you heard those glorious references to "Swedgin" and "F***ing Woo". By the time the film was over it seemed a well told story that added closure to the series and for most of the characters.

It's likely prompted me to find time to start the series again from S1E1, such was the great quality of cast, story and dialogue. If you were a fan of the series then it's definitely worth a look, and for others I'd suggest smashing out the HBO weekly stuff before watching this flick.

@Jimmy_041 have you seen this mate, and if so what'd ya think?

I saw this a while back on Foxtel and I couldn't believe the age differences of the characters from when they were in the series. Shit they'd got old. I enjoyed it though. I loved Deadwood.
