I watched some movies...
JCVD. I loved this. Jean Claude VanDamme (playing himself), pretty washed-up and going through a custody battle with his ex, goes to get some money out and things don't quite go according to plan and the police arrive and now it's a bank robbery in progress. It's a simple film made wonderful by VanDamme and how he portrays himself. I had heard he was good in it but I wasn't prepared for how good he came across. Not a big fan of the desaturated look of the movie but, otherwise, I loved this movie.
Drinking Buddies. A sort of romcom with Olivia Wilde and some guy and some other guy (he was in Idiocracy I think...). Improvised and that added a layer of interest to it. I quite enjoyed it because it wasn't typical. It felt a little fresh. An easy watch that's really about the characters.
The Outsiders. I had never seen this. It was made in the 80s but the vibe of the film is so much older and, to be honest, I struggled a little with that. It felt like a film that starred so many great actors of the 80s and yet at the same time felt like a film that was made way before I was born that might have been on ITV on a Sunday afternoon back when I was on a kid. It's an interesting watch but I found the vibe just a little odd. Maybe it worked great at the time.
