@gaseousclay I've heard a rumour that the new Batman film is supposed to be set in the nineties, so it's a prequel featuring a younger Bruce Wayne.
In any case he's about the same age as Christian Bale was in Batman Begins, and that didn't turn out too badly.
In other movie news…

The Terminator franchise has basically been remaking the same film for years, and so far this one hasn't deviated from the template. I'm not sure how they could shake things up. Either expand the universe, as Blade Runner 2049 did, or go full mental like Mad Max Fury Road.
Of course, I'll go see it anyway.

And westernized protagonists is a thing in Asian cinema. If you watch anime you can note the good guys always have rounder eyes than the bad guys.
Not sure about other cultures, but as far as Japan goes I'd argue that depends on genre, and may be specific to anime. Show me a Kurosawa film with a Western protagonist, for example. And looking outside Japan, films like Hard Boiled have, at least to my recollection, an entirely Asian cast.

We watched the girl in the spider's web. We enjoyed it. There is a really original sniper scene that was well 'executed'…It brought a few nice new ideas to an otherwise exhausted genre.

Zombieland was great. And I don't even especially like zombie movies.
It was written by the same guys who wrote Deadpool too
Watched DEADPOOL and DEADPOOL 2 yesterday… Currently watching ZOMBIELAND... Now there's some good ole American FUN...

Those guys also wrote the script for Life, that sci-fi horror film that came out last year. Also features Ryan Reynolds [emoji106]

^Wasn't feeling it tbh. I would prefer Shaun of the Dead when it comes to this actor duo.
Loved Shaun of the Dead.
It's getting harder and harder for creatives to reinvent the zombie genre. World War Z (the book) was amazing but the movie absolutely sucked. It bore no resemblance to the book except in title only.

I loved Rambo 2008 and I hope this movie is equally as cheesy and violent. I think the 2008 movie was one of the goriest movies I have ever seen.

Mission: Impossible Fallout
7/10
Pretty decent if you like action flicks. Tom Cruise always delivers the goods imo.
