Watching “Vacation Friends 2” and it is actually pretty funny even if the father-in-law schtick has been badly handled. It’s weird, L’il Rel and John Cena are still incredibly likeable so it’s worth pushing through.

Yeah, thinking back maybe I was a bit harsh on it... I watched the first one right before the second one so maybe that clouded me a little. The first one has a lot of "heart". Second one has very little "heart" but some of the jokes are alright, and it is good to see the characters again (especially the L'il Rey/Cena interaction as you say)

Overall it’s pretty fucking funny, it just doesn’t give Buscemi any really good material and that is a great shame. I still enjoyed it, there’s actually a lot more heart in it towards the end of the film.
I remember really enjoying the first one because it was so daft and John Cena is just a good guy, might watch again now. |

You gave it a 6/10 and I’d give it a 2.5/4 so we’re pretty much in agreement that it’s a fine way to spend the time. I like John Cena. I never really watched him wrestle and I can say the same about Batista but Cena is picking projects that I can actually enjoy. I think getting his toe wet in comedy was the right way for him to get into Hollywood, he could realistically transition into drama if he has any interest. The guy can act, I think he is actually the best actor out of the wrestlers-turned actors. The Rock is fun, Batista is fun but John Cena is actually gifted as a performer in a way that makes me think he could be the top dog if he keeps his trajectory. Cena man… I cannot say I saw him as a great actor but he has done so well I can’t even doubt him now. |

Cena has really found his niche I think.
Don't really remember him too well playing the serious villain role in Fast 9... but in Fast 10 they had him move into his "niche" of lighthearted funny guy. |

Reversal of Fortune 6/10
Drama/mystery starring Glenn Close, Jeremy Irons, Ron Silver and Annabella Sciorra, based on the "true story" of Sonny von Bulow, and the appeal of her husband's convictions of attempted murder against her. Close and Irons provide some fine performances, but there is something unsatisfactory about the film, which I can't put my finger on. |

That's just disheartening to learn, Seanny One Ball. Not a day goes by that I don't loathe seeing someone I looked up or enjoyed to be ousted as a predator. Luckily, as I go through my old cassette collection, I am comforted by the fact that I can always rely on the Backstreet Boys. They'll never let me down.

“Hard Eight” is a great film. I’m glad you enjoyed it, it knocked my socks off too. I’d say it’s his most naturally played film, it works because you just go with it given the setting. Gwyneth Paltrow was never better.

Confess, Fletch was a fun watch. John Hamm was delightful.

He is much more suave than Chevy Chase but roughly as funny. Chevy always pulled the same faces.

Oldboy (2003) - 8/10
Going into this i was expecting an action film. The action is ok so i was initially feeling pretty underwhelmed by it. But this is the kind of movie that lives and dies on the 3rd act reveal and it really delivers. The acting in the final sequences is really really strong. I know there's an american version but i cant possibly imagine it working |

It was a bad remake over all. Much worse than the Spike Lee one.
