The title sounds...
The title sounds like one of those old x rated jobs where every title had to be a play on words.

I hadn't planned on it as her stellar work in "Mad Max:Fury Road" spoiled me.
What is this? Some sort of meltdown?!

I hadn't planned to. Despite that, yesterday's newspaper review wasn't that bad. As always, I'll wait for it to show up on Redbox, hopefully with rent one, get the second one free.

Actually I would rank this pretty much a dead heat with Mad Max-Fury Road regarding the acting prowness of Ms. Theron
Like everything else remotely passable, I'll probably grab it up from the library when it hits DVD.
Mad Max was kind've...interesting. It's like somebody made a MM movie, based solely on somebody else having told them about it over dinner one evening. The sped-up action sequences put on modern film were just jarring. The story was meh. The cars were a bad interpretation of what they're supposed to have been--they totally missed the "low-effort tribal" motif.

Thanks for the spoiler alert,Caj, even though any title with "Blonde" in it would automatically be a thumbs down.
Apparently you Southerners are still a sucker for that kind of thing.

I'll take the heat and give an opposing view. Saw it with the wife Friday night. The entire reason for this movie is stress relief. After a week of rude people begging to have the snot slapped out of them, you go to the matinee and see Russians, Germans, English, Americans and a Blonde get it done to them! There is no Academy Award winning dialog to use the few remaining brain cells you have after a hard week. If you blood pressure and cholesterol can handle the large bucket of popcorn at $8.50, relax and take in a mind numbing, action packed and totally unbelievable movie!
The sound track: In the time frame that this movie takes place in, I worked a second job painting apartments either starting a 4 AM or starting after my regular job, until 1 AM. To keep moving I would have the radio cranked to the "Progressive Rock" station (at that time), every hit song with a fast beat is in this movie, Including the only German rock song I know!
Is it a John Wayne film? ABSOLUTELY NOT! They just aren't making those anymore. Do you feel stunned at the end? Even scratching you head? Yep! Is this John Goodman's shining performance? Nope! But you will be remembering scenes and lines for days to come! That is all you get from Hollywood these days!
Maybe this will help those who have seen it: When she calls John Goodman a C.S.: that is a espionage novel term for "Traitor!", not just an insult.

Nope, nothing atomic on the list, but my middle grandson called me last night to make a date to see The Emoji Movie.
At least he's old enough now that I don't need to sew superhero capes for him to wear to the theater anymore.

The trailers made the movie look like Barb Wire MkII. Nothing wrong with that if all you want is a movie that involves shooting and butt-kicking in stilettos. Cult goofiness for viewing after pub time, I suspect.

Net Flix gives it an average rating of 3.7. Usually anything over 3.2 is decent. I'll put it in my cue.
That sounds like the name of a novel by Tim Dorsey.

No but I was hoping to see what she was hired for but didn't get that either. What little there was was hidden.Dude, honestly do you think she was hired for her acting ability.......
Don't get me wrong, I knew what it was and expected to see a woman "John Wick" movie but it didn't deliver. I liked John Goodman though.
His character reminded me a little bit of Walter
