What on earth is a cat III HK movie? Assume the HK means Hong Kong?
Not willing to search it on a work PC
Cat III is Hong Kong's 18/R rating. It's basically where all the ultra violence and sex is.What on earth is a cat III HK movie? Assume the HK means Hong Kong?

The Thing https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084787/
I've seen parts of it before, but never the whole thing.
Loved it. Surprisingly robust special effects, and although they clearly look dated now,
it... well... it kind of works. Very impressed. One of the best movies I've seen in a little while.

Red Dawn (2012). Quite good in places (once you get past the ridiculous base concept) but the decision towards the end (about who survives) just kills the movie. I can see the character arc they were going for but it really trashes the movie.
5/10.
P.S. Watched because my wife spotted that it had Chris Hemsworth in it.

Nice one, never heard of this film - will give it a watch!
A while back 3 hour films were quite few (The Godfather, Heat, Gladiator) all are absolute classics. Whereas nowadays, 3+ hours seem a regular occurrence for films that I wouldn't expect.A film should be 2 hours max.
But I do have the attention span of a flea
Stallone had the right idea for Rocky 3 & 4 (New challenger rocks up, get angry, training montage, KO) job done in 90 mins!

Thanks to those who recommended These Final Hours. I love a decent world ending film and this really hit home with me. Them Aussies know how to do a good show/film, must be so much out there you just don’t hear about that’s quality TV.

But you're right about rocky being the perfect length! Lol!

Midsommar was on last night so I have recorded it.
Really hope I'm not disappointed by it as I've been looking forward to it for ages!

Obligatory 'have you seen Mr Inbetween?' recommendation.
Glad you enjoyed the movie, I imagine it's small enough scale to have passed most people by when it was released.

I think I was one of the few who put up a review for Mr Inbetween before it became mainstream*

Ah, didn't know that. I only discovered it start of this year and already consider it in my top 10 TV shows ever.I think I was one of the few who put up a review for Mr Inbetween before it became mainstream*

Think it was summer of ‘21 I watched it. Will have heard about it from here though I’m sure.

Having a look in the TV thread, it was first mentioned in 2019, then quite a few of us watched it summer of '21.

I thought it was pretty dire. Usually Dwayne Johnson is a pretty safe bet due to his on screen charisma, but the character in this is played deathly serious so you don't even get that.
just as i thought myself, got a new big tv and a nice sound system looking for a awesome film to watch tonight ?
