"Haven't seen Prey but is it ""woke as fuck"" because it has a woman as the protagonist, would you say the same about aliens or Terminator 2 if so?"

[New Jersey]

"Went to watch Elvis last night, thoroughly enjoyed it! Austin Butler did a great job as Elvis, particularly the Vegas years, you would have thought it was him. Tom Hanks was his usual brilliant self as Col Tom Parker."

[Mad Dog]

Saw prey last week. OK at best.

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

"I watched Prey yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it, even though it was woke as fuck. I wonder if the woke makers of the film realised that in no small part my enjoyment was due to a beautiful and sexy young woman running around on the screen. They probably did, which makes me normal and them a bunch of hypocrites."

Saw Day Shift with Jamie Foxx on Netflix and that was an enjoyable enough romp albeit ot quite on the same level to John Carpenters Vampires and of course the magnificent Salem's Lot.

[Mr Kenzo]

Calm down Barry Norman

[Northern Sold]

New Ron Howard film ...13 lives... very good... telling the story of the rescue of the Thai football team submerged in the caves. Still one of the most remarkable rescue missions ever..

[Northern Sold]

Surprised the shit out of me.... I think it's something about girls with axes.... i was the same with Lizzie Borden....

[Council Scum]

"Watched Prey last night, very good."

[Lee Trundle]

"I agree, Sold0. Watched it over the weekend, and it's definitely one of the better Predator movies they've made."

[Northern Sold]

https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/prey/ Great fun on a Friday night... thoroughly enjoyed it... and loads of Frenchies get chewed up... great fun.

[Sniper]

"Finally went to see Jurassic World : Dominion with my son. Not half as terrible as critics etc have made out, it’s certainly better than the second part of fallen kingdom. But a disappointing lack of any memorable deaths at all and a real waste of some good ideas and characters too. Felt strangely rushed. Always hard to make the idea of ‘dinosaurs now live in the real world’ really work, and chucking in a storyline about engineered locusts seemed a bit unnecessary"

[ted fenton]

"We watched ""The Grey Man"" last night so very far-fetched but well worth it for the special effects."

[Alfs]

Mark Rylance is superb in everything he does.

[Northern Sold]

Yeah Grey Man was a good grin... highly entertaining couple of hours... not a Golf fan but loved the Phantom of the Open... Mark Rylance superb in it... what an amazing story that is

[zico]

"The Grey Man- Indeed worth a watch, entertaining enough and leaves it open for another one. Has Billy Bob Thornton always looked like he is in his 60's!!"

[ted fenton]

"Watched ""Elvis"" last night really enjoyed it."

[Manuel]

"The Grey Man is a good hoot, worth a watch for sure."

[zico]

"Thanks Ted, at least I know I'm not missing anything now. Going to try The Grey Man on Netflix tonight after being advised earlier."

[zico]

[ted fenton]

"Zico, I love Tom Hanks but I found ""The Greyhound"" to be very poor."

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

"When you see a leading actors name also in the credits as 'executive producer', especially if it happens after several seasons of a long-running series, it usually means they have gained a degree of creative control over the character they play (probably not so much over the other characters or general storyline). Mark Harmon in NCIS, Ellen Pompeo in Grey's Anatomy and Claire Danes in Homeland would be good examples. As Alf's said, it's also a way of paying them more money, particularly when attempting to circumvent a salary structure applying to an ensemble cast."

[Manuel]

Alfs - Yea I've noticed that in recent years that the main actor is also a director/producer.

[RBshorty]

I would say the folks over at Disney would disagree with you there Alfs.?

[Alfs]

"It's all changing, Manuel, and there has been a shift in power. A and B list actors are no longer just guns for hire. They now Executive Produce so they are in control of the scripts, the cast and director choices, etc. It also means that they get more money, as well as tax breaks. It's win, win, which is fair enough as it's their pulling power that gets bums on seats. The Studio system of old is in mid collapse, with the exception of Marvel franchises and the like, as the studios have spent billions on the rights. It's a bit like Bosman fucking up the football clubs greed, but with film and tv."
