Been looking forward to seeing Moon, actually.
We did a write up on this movie a couple of months ago Jack, dont know if you had a chance to read it or not? I thought it was a VERY good movie. And Bobcat shown through with flying colors. I think the majority agreed with your evaluation though.
That sounds interesting Jack,might have to check it out.
Just watched a clip. The only thing I can speculate on is if the ending is as obvious as it appears then I dont want to see it. PLEASE, everyone else watch it and then post whether my guess is true to form. If not, then Im there!!!
Well since im not telepathic,i don't know how you think it ends.
Besides,it's not just the destination,it's the journey.
The Hitcher (1986)
With C Thomas Howell Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Classic movie. 10/10

I saw Jaccobs Ladder whe it first came out.You get me man.......you really get me. :D
It was a mindscrew at the time.
The Sixth Sense wasprobably one of M Night Shyamalin's best movies
The Sixth Sense wasprobably one of M Night Shyamalin's best moviesI would even say "Only" decent film.
But overall it's pretty fun and Harrelson is hilarious...
Frankly my dear ( ;)) the consequential question is: Which heroine did you like best?Blanche DuBois vs Scarlett O'Hara??
I finally watched Adventureland. It wasn't bad, it wasn't great... therefore it was just sort of ..blah. It had a couple of funny lines.
I never cared for Gone With The Wind.
I had to study the damn movie , To Kill A Mockingbird and The Scarlet Letter in High School English class.
That kinda killed it for me.
I cant even stand The Hobbit anymore becuse of that.
No wonder you posted that opinion of Ryan Reynold..... ;) i thought that movie was a 3/10
Scarlett later in life = Blanche DuBois.
I hadn't caught that. I thought x meant scarlett vs melanie? I agree with your assessment if it's her against BD. There are parts of Scarlett that are bearable. And you can almost see times when she'll push through and turn out ok.Hmm Scarlett vs Melanie... Melanie of course, she was so nice. But then that's probably the reason she was only a supporting character, being entirely good is so boring.
When I was little I always wanted Rhett and Melanie to go f'it, and run off together :DThat would've been something.
Signs good 7/10
I also watched 2 films loosely based on a true story 1 Essex Boys 7/10 2 Rise of The Footsoldier 8/10
It was only on further study i realised i'd seen one of the blokes on a couple of occasions,as i lived in various parts of Essex for years,not to mention i'd lived in London a couple of times.
Anyone from the UK will remember the triple murders in a village called Rettendon in Chelmsford Essex,in which 3 men were blasted to death while sitting in a Range Rover,in December 1995.
Gotta know where the line is,,it comes in handy sometimes
Just watched a clip. The only thing I can speculate on is if the ending is as obvious as it appears then I dont want to see it. PLEASE, everyone else watch it and then post whether my guess is true to form. If not, then Im there!!!I watched it twice when it was in the cinemas. The second time sucked because the screening room was full of people and they made eating noises as well as coming in late and whispering loudly.
How much of that film is true?
Further FYI XTop. Its is first and foremost a horror movie. :D I do not know what you enjoy watching in the movie category so.....My prediction is it will definately be a cult classic for teens.

...if I can keep my jerk of a sister from ripping it off.
In beteen practice quizzes I have been watching movies to clear my head.
#1 - SAW 6. Do I really need to say anything? Utter poo but I do love some gore to take my mind off of things. 3/10
#2 - 500 days of summer. I dont do tear jerker movies per-say but this was really cute. Wouldnt watch it again for the above reasons but Im glad I saw it. And watching Joesph Gordan-Levitt with a bit of a buzz on is always nice. 6/10
It's always a matter of taste.
I watched "Up" for the first time last night too. I thought it was a really good movie, but not as fun/interesting as some of Pixar's other films.
I thought Doug was really funny.I love Dug :D he's so cute "POINT!"
My favorite line is - it is funny because the squirrel gets dead:D It was pretty awesome that Christopher Plummer voiced Charles Muntz (who looked very much like Errol Flynn)
The Big Lebowsky comes in second.I don't get that movie :-\
My favorite line is " A human toe? you want a human toe? I can get you one ( looks at watch) I can probably have it by 3:00!"
Watch it sometime Skadi,, youll understand.lmao
I don't get that movie
I watched "Up" for the first time last night too. I thought it was a really good movie, but not as fun/interesting as some of Pixar's other films.
I saw Pandorum. And I got to say one thing about your review of it. You are spot on accurate!
Its like they tried to make a Ridley Scott movie and failed miserably.
It was a movie they should pay YOU to sit through.
I watched about 20 minutes of it and decided that it was lame. BUT,,,I allways triy to find the good points of every movie.
For one,, I liked the creatures,, or whatever they were,, no one ever really said.
I think thats about all I liked,,no ,,wait,, I liked the girl that made it out at the end,, she was kinda cute.
I think that was the only redeaming value the movie had. If you can call it that.
I dont go to theaters anymore.
How is it legal?
They just host the links.similar to another site i have been told to use
2012
Watch in theaters. Or on blu-ray.
Seriously, the effects are amazing.
The story is extremely cheesy, but the special effects are so good that you forget about the plot holes and the bad acting.
It is a movie to be watched only for fun.
I enjoyed, but if I had watched a DVD Rip of it, I wouldn't have.

I just got Fright Night on dvd.
I forgot how good that movie was way back in 1985 or so when it came out.
I need to find Fright Night 2,,,it was even better.

I have Surrogates and I'm seeing a bit every other day. I don't think I'm going to end up watching it now. :D
Watched Surrogates last night. Was pretty disappointed in it.
I bought The Return of the Living Dead recently and had forgot how good that was.
And is there any love out there for Savini's 1990 remake of Night? I think it's better than the original myself...
It's because it was remade in the 90's. It would have been politically incorrect if the female character was a catatonic useless helpless woman. ;) ;D ;D
I disagree. I was really looking forward to that remake, but found it more of a re-imagining. The character of Barbera was completely unrecognisable from the original. in the original she was almost catatonic with fear throughout,
( im kinda an expert on zombie flicks,, sorry).
Dawn was a good effort comenting on our consumerist lifestyle that has just gotten worse.
Day was talking about the Reaganistic philosophy of millitary might in the civilian world and Land was about the Bush/Cheney regime sweeping thier mess under a carpet hoping no one finds out.
I just watched A Scanner Darkley by Phillip K richard.
The ending was great,, and twisty as hell as far as Im concerned.
I never thought a shitter disaster flick than Titanic was possible.
See, now this sucks. I've heard a few RL friends say 2012 wasn't bad but I trust you guys more for the fairest review. Now to the "this sucks" part. You know I'm gonna watch it, even when I believe you guys saying it's horrible. It's John Cusack ffs, and I'm not ashamed to admit that he's my man-crush. So I'm gonna see it...eventually.
John, I wish I could quit you.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm Mathilda May ;D
The Prestige (2006)
Hugh Jackman Scarlett Johanson Christian Bale
A magician and illusionist indulges in a one upmanship game with tragic consequences.
Pretty good 8.7/10
What fanboys? If you mean the kids who actually think it has something to do with the anime, IT DOES NOT. It is a completely different story, and I just couldn't convince my buddies today to see it, dammit. :( They all though it was a poor adaptation of the anime.
They all though it was a poor adaptation of the anime.
Did you check it out because I posted it in the Movie thread?
And I'm going to see Avatar tonight...
Here's hoping it isn't 2.5 hours of suck.
Why didnt Bolt do better in the theaters? I just watched it and it was wonderful. I would strongly recommend it to adults and kids alike. 7/10
i saw avatar it was okay
so.. what was lacking? The story?..the script? I haven't read any reviews yet.
Haven't seen it but looks good. The character seems like the usual madam that dies at the end. Don't tell me. I might watch it. :)It's supposed to be film noir, but it's debatable. Gene Tierney is... :-X watch it ;D She had a bangin' body :o there's this scene that looks like it's right out from James Bond.
No, actually, Avatar is beautiful and fantastic in all ways.
But it'll depend on who you are and what kind of movies you dig as to whether you're really going to like it, honestly.
I'm still having difficulty focusing my thoughts on it yet, but I will come back with something, later. In fact, you may have to ask me to stop talking about it... :D
But, without a doubt, see it in the 3-D IMAX version if you can. I normally wouldn't advocate that, but the 3-D effects are really amazing and are used more to create atmosphere (literally in some cases) and mood rather than to just shove things in your face.
Suffice for now to say, if you liked Aliens, Terminator 1 & 2, The Abyss and to a lesser extent Titanic, you really need to see this movie. In IMAX 3-D... :D
More tomorrow...
It's supposed to be film noir, but it's debatable. Gene Tierney is... :-X watch it ;D She had a bangin' body :o there's this scene that looks like it's right out from James Bond.
Now, I might grab Heaven Can Wait. :)
why was vincent price ughhh?If you've seen the movie:
Generally:
He is a bit melodramatic.
Why do American movies always make actors adapt an American accent though? The lead and one of the supporting actors were Irish and Scottish and had a freakin fake accent. I hate that. 6/10
I have the same feeling when I see Argentinian actors in Spanish movies. It would be funny if it wasn't so annoying. I think it's underestimate the public.
I have a 720p version of Inglorious Basterds,which i watched last night.
Superb vintage Tarantino 10/10
I haven't seen Inglorious Basterds yet (not sure if I will). I'm not a big Tarantino fan, mostly because I think his acting is poo and his "homages" in Kill Bill seemed more like rip-offs, but I digress.
I wouldn't exactly call his homages rip offs.
His acting's ok,but as a director,my opinoion is that he's original with his movies,there's no other director quite like him.
He's the best of recent times......well i think so anyway. ;D
But most Argentinians have Italian or Spanish roots anyway don't they?
I believe a little of both of those to ideas. It bugs me that his 'homages' are so over appreciated because so many people haven't done the work and sought out what he was inspired by. But, he is pretty good at what he does. He's one of those people that I take for what he is.Inglourious Basterds was a homage to Sergio Leone's westerns, starting with "Once upon a time in..." and the opening scene was almost exactly the same as the opening to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly with Angel Eyes.
Well, the fact that Tarantino directed this was the main motivation for watching it in the first place. But alas. His bit part was pretty freakin funny though.
It is a recurring feature of Tarantino's movies for the director himself to appear in a cameo role.
I justbought District 9.
I saw it in the theater,, but since I bought it im going to go crawl into it tonight.
I loved that movie ( i know,, another I liked that no one else did,, but I saw alot of social relavance( sp) in it)
Along with Up and Avatar, District 9 is in my top 3 favorite films this year.
Speaking of which, good to see that Avatar is getting some love, too. I really thought people were going to hate it... 8)
And I was totally right about the 3-D, eh goldshirt? ;) :D
I've seen a few other decent to terrible flicks in the last few days, but I'll post on 'em later...
Hence CMF's comment. :D District 9 was....well it just wasnt that good. To me that is.
cause there is right? RIGHT???? You can't end it like that!!!!
(the other way does not necessarily work though: most of the stuff Jack does not like is great :D)
You have movies in Finland? lolThanks to internet i have lots of choices. ;)
Is Zoe Saldana going to be the new Sigourney Weaver?Summer Glau looks like Sigourney Weaver, they could be related.
Summer Glau looks like Sigourney Weaver, they could be related.They do have similar jaws lol
I got the Japanese version of Shutter and it blew the American one away.
Rodley Scott is slated to do the next Alien movie.I hope to God he reads my post! Summer Glau could play a young Ripley and when the Aliens get out of control, she could chew bubble gum and kick ass and then be all outta gum! (yeehaw!) :D
Its a prequel to the original Alien where the aliens are shown to be a bio weapon used by other aliens.
I just saw The Invention of Lying.
Funny movie.
I got the Japanese version of Shutter and it blew the American one away.
Something tells me that wouldn't be too hard.
Oh wait! Dianne Fossey's daughter! She could play Dianne Fossey's daughter who ends up being one of them greedy business types and it'd be like A Christmas Carol, but with Gorillas! AWESOME!
I saw Heat with AL Pacino and Robert Deniro.
Awsome movie,, still one of my all time faves.
I just saw The Invention of Lying.
Funny movie.
Not a typical Gervais movie at all though. It was more of a romantic comedy. I love him so I liked it, the concept was very creative.
Goodfellas,,,awsome true story with Robert Dinero and Joe Pesci and Robert Logia.QFT.
Awsome movie.
Summer Glau looks like Sigourney Weaver, they could be related.
I just saw Sherlock Holmes.
Dammit, I really wanted to not like it. I really needed to hate this movie. Why? I just cannot accept a violent version of Sherlock Holmes. I am used to the old nerdy Sherlock from the cartoons.
But I must admit that the movie is kick-ass!!! It is indeed very entertaining and has a catchy story. Great acting from both Jude Law and Downey Jr.
I cannot wait for the sequel. ;)
I sense a series of Sherlock movie in the future. ;D
I didnt like the last Indiana Jones movie,, it just didnt sit well with me.
They got a new Mummy movie comming out,, theyre in south america,, and guess what? They find more MUMMYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... and make a second one even better.
^ I didn't like it either...it lacked heart. And ..I think I skipped the last Mummy movie completely.
I really wanted to see Sherlock Holmes.. I heard it was well executed.. but the script could have been lots sharper. Hopefully they'll pull it all together, and make a second one even better. I still want to see it though.
District 9 was awesome. I'm glad I finally got to see it.
Told you District 9 was good.
I think you are both insane. I cant find a single good quality about that film. Of course IM the minority here.
I've got Braindead and Bad taste,both his Kiwi movies,they're superb too.
I think you are both insane. I cant find a single good quality about that film. Of course IM the minority here.District 9 is insane movie.
I loved District 9.
And I found Wilkus a lovable and very funny character.
I got to sit down tonight and watch 28weeks later later on tonight.
I loved that movie,, the scary thing is the millitary involvement in the recolonization of London.
The only problem with the movie is that the battle armor was ripped off from the Rifts rpg.
I bought 28 Days Later (with Christopher Eccleston), but haven't seen 28 Weeks Later yet. I'll have to watch it, to see if it's worth a buy.
Seems like a really minor complaint, actually... :D

Outlander
i watched the boat that rocked.
No Country For Old Men (2008)
Coen brothers film superb as usual.10/10
outlander - disapointed to be truthful.
Me and the Fam watched "Where The Wild Things Are" last night and it was about as disappointing as it could get. If I were to truly write a critique I would be here till the next new year - but in essence it was how distant it was from the sentiment of the book that really annoyed me.
I think you are both insane. I cant find a single good quality about that film. Of course IM the minority here.You should watch Moon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/). I've not seen District 9 yet, but Moon received some good reviews as well.
As mentioned, to each his own, different people can see different things in film and literature. Where you were disapointed, I on the other hand was not. I was pleasantly surprised.
Great when two different opinions can appear on the same thread without trying to intentionally overshadow one another isnt it?
...In my opinion great books that are made into films (no matter how short), should attempt to do them justice.
That's one difficult task.
Anyway it's so much better if you can read the book first and then you watch the movie in question.
This has nothing to do with you or I and is purely my take on Spike Jonze attempt to reflect his own vision of a neurotic world we live in. Whilst the film may do this and even do it well,
outlander - disapointed to be truthful.
"Where the wild things are" is less than 200 words I believe but it was full of excitment at even that. I wish that Sendak had been part-director of this film rather than part-producer, as it may have been just as colourful as his book if he had.
I know that book intimately (like most kids of my generation), having had it as a reading book at infant school, loving it so much I pestered my mother to buy it for me (which she did) and reading it (and copying drawings from it) so often it fell to pieces. I even replaced it as an adult (with a softcover version) - which I still have.
When I heard they were making a film, I couldn't see how such a short story could be made into a film and assumed it would literally be a completely new story based on the books characters (almost like Max's return visit to the wild things), so I've not bothered watching it because I think I'll be disappointed. If the kids ask to watch it, then I'll watch it with them, otherwise I'll probably give it a miss.
The Hensonesc costumes
I saw District 9 and thought it was pretty good. Was it a good social commentary on immigration or multiculturalism?
I have 2 copies of the book within reach at this moment.
If you forget the book for a moment you may well enjoy the film.
There is none of the gleeful "rumpus" and frivolities like the uncommented, illustrated part of the book (which in my view is where they missed a trick as that part was begging for some creative licence), but the quite serious and depressed tone of the film that replaced it did make it strangely endearing to a degree.
The Hensonesc costumes are near perfect but you will notice that their expressions are that of the troubled adults that feature in the film - which I believe was Jonze's aim.
I remember discussing this indetail after the film swept at the Academy Awards. I still dont get it. But i am the minority here, mos people really liked it.(http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k246/ohcheap1/Smileys/repuke.gif) 5/10
Sounds interesting. :)
Im waiting for the new Rodriguez one Machete.
I agree. That man can scare the poo out of anyone. And the older the scarier.
I'm looking forward to seeing Fantastic Mr Fox. :)
I watched Under the Tuscan Sun last night. A bit too saccharine for my taste, but worth looking at for the landscape.
Death Defying Acts (2007)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472071/
Terrible = 1/10 --- Avoid !
Ben Affleck is particularly bad in this movie (and let's face it, he's bad in a lot of things - Pearl Harbor anyone?)
You should watch Moon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/).
last night i watched The Thing
hope to god they never remake it.
They're not remaking it, but they are making a prequel.
We're talking about The Thing (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084787/), right? The same short story also inspired The Thing (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044121/)? So in a way it was a remake.
Frost,, we need to get together some time and write a book about movies.
And I guess I need to look at Pirate Radio again because I didn't hate it as much as everyone seems to have... :D
With those actors it can't be that bad I guess.
They're not remaking it, but they are making a prequel.
Yeah, but that black & white film version, while sill pretty cool, really needed a remake.
The John Carpenter version is virtually flawless, so it does not need a remake - which is what I think goldshirt was getting at... Hell, even some of the special effects by Rob Bottin are still amazing and even look better than CGI at times.
Okay, but if I have to correct your spelling and grammar I want a 60/40 split on all the profits. :D ;) :P
And I guess I need to look at Pirate Radio again because I didn't hate it as much as everyone seems to have... :D
The main cast look very young and I wanted to wrap them up in blankets and bake them chocolate cake.The local tv network showed the HP series recently, there were all so cute when young. I love Malfoy especially :D
HP6 was poo >:( read the book, it's far better, the story actually makes sense.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
I can't rate the film, I spend most of the film thinking how adorable them younglings look.
Yeah, watch Moon. It's awful.What? Im to lazy to check but werent you the one that recommended Moon in the first place?
Yeah, watch Moon. It's awful.
Yeah, watch Moon. It's awful.
Really?You rated it too low, I'm going to request you get a warning >:(
I thought it was pretty cool...
blood: last vampire i really liked and i saw Julia & Julie FINALLY. i liked that 2 ! meryl streep is my favorite ! i wasn't to crazy about amy adams but she did okay. I absolutely hated her hair cut/wig .
I really thought they should've ditched the Julie part and just made a biopic that followed Julia Child. Meryl Streep and Stanly Tucci were far more interesting than Amy Adams and Chris Messina...
I just got that burned to disc today,, nice mmovie,, not too bad. I could have done better though.
To which film are you referring?
I think i gave it a 7 or 8/10.Oh, I thought you gave it a 10! >:(
I dreamt about my behaviour on this thread last night. I can't remember the details anymore.
500 days of summer was really boring ... i thought i would have liked it.
Yeah, I need somewhere to write it all down before I forget. Especially the dir... err... never mind.
500 days of summer was really boring ... i thought i would have liked it.
So, in case you didnt notice I watched Moon tonight. I really liked it alot. As previously stated, many, many times, a good ending makes a movie for me and this had a brilliant ending. I loved the movie and I realize that it is not for everyone, but it was SO for me. 7.5/10
as good or better than the first movie.Maybe you've accidentally mixed it up with New Moon, the one she saw is a completely different story not based on a book. It was written by Zowie Bowie and some other guy and is a really good watch.
All this talk of "The Hurt Locker" makes me miss MaxDreamer. :'(
the one she saw is a completely different story not based on a book.
If I recall correctly, there is one scene with some heavily blurred out nudity
Yep, this is a different "Moon" What nudity? Maybe my version was different than yours. I saw his bare booty in the shower but that's all I remember. ???
Saw IV
I don't usually watch any movie series past #3, but Saw IV was on last night so I thought I'd give it a go. It's a while since I'd seen #3 and I was worried I wouldn't remember what had gone before but I needn't have worried. This was the same bless'ed flick. There was really nothing new in this that hasn't gone before, except the surprises were absent. Pretty run of the mill. 5/10
I've just gone and seen the trailer of The Echo and it looks fantastic.

Ah! Well i've heard lots of negative comments on the redux,what's your opinion?I think the only bad thing I've ever heard about it is it's time. Many years ago, I wanted to show off my shiny new DVD and decided to watch it with friends. They thought it was boring and far too long. I personally loved it and watched it again. And then again.
Why can't film critics on TV say this kind of stuff. :D
Sherlock Holmes
I'm so glad they made Watson a bad ass. Watson isn't a blathering buffoon! Rachel McAdams was pretty kickass too, but her line delivery seemed strange for some reason. Not usually a fan of large franchises, but I want to see the sequel.
Jason Isaacs for Moriarty please! (Gary Oldman for a second choice)
Jason Isaacs for Moriarty please!
The Cove was one of the best movies I've seen, for multiple reasons.
What did you tink of the script Fi? Was the talent underused on so/so average lines?I think the lines were pretty good actually. I chuckled more than a few times because of all the innuendo and double entendres, but no one else at the cinema did :-\ maybe they didn't get it. But the lines were wittier than the usual Hollywood stuff. Maybe they didn't make it too dry to appeal to more, but it was offset by more physical comedy (big hammer vs little hammer).
No, Jason Isaacs for me please! ;DHe's pretty DILFy as Lucius Malfoy :D
Elaborate please. I read the IMDB page on it and it has an 8 star rating so it must be decent. Sounds like a bit of a tear jerker though......I have to be in the right mood for that.

I enjoyed Contact a lot, for most of the same reasons Skadi mentioned. One thing that did throw me though is 1) Matthew McConaughey being religious and 2) knowing his reputation in RL for being a bit of a dog, how he'd be attracted to Jodie Foster.
I just feel I'm missing something because it got over 7 on IMDB :-\

I may watch Contact in a few years from now, it's not often I dislike science-fiction.
Star Trek (2009)I reckon it's mostly this. Although it's entirely possible later events (such as the crew's meeting with Lucifer at the centre of the galaxy or TNG, DS9 and Voyager) will happen, it may not happen in exactly the same way. I can't remember how much Starfleet training they said Kirk received in the new film, but they've changed his past now.
the movies are now in an alternate timeline from the series
In Groundhog Day he always wakes up in the same day. In 50 First Dates the girl has a medical condition that causes memory loss when she goes to sleep. Every day when she wakes up she thinks she's living the day in which she had the accident.Oh, so it's like Groundhog Day, but in reverse
the main actor in hurt locker is a little stereotyped though.

Although it's entirely possible later events (such as the crew's meeting with Lucifer at the centre of the galaxy or TNG, DS9 and Voyager) will happen, it may not happen in exactly the same way. I can't remember how much Starfleet training they said Kirk received in the new film, but they've changed his past now.
i have moon to watch later in the week.
The old one, or the remade one?The TV series apparently thought up and outlined by Gene Roddenberry before he died. It has Hercules taking lead as the captain of the Andromeda and Rommie is the computer's AI - and by Spock's beard, she's the most attractive mechanoid in sky-fie!
In the new film I got the idea that he basically had none :D Or.. only a couple of weeks, or maybe a couple of months... Is that not right? Maybe they'll make him backtrack and go do some more training. Has anyone heard about a new script for a sequel?Don't forget, Kirk is a genius!
Orci and Kurtzman explained the dilemma for the sequel was whether to pit the crew against another villain, or to have an "exploration sci-fi plot where the unknown and nature itself is somehow an adversary." On recasting Khan, Orci questioned "why take the chance?"[181] (http://trekmovie.com/2009/06/20/orci-kurtzman-talk-star-trek-sequel-and-the-one-after-that-too/) Paramount is planning to release the sequel on June 29, 2012.[182] (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=62201)[183] (http://trekmovie.com/2010/01/08/breaking-star-trek-sequel-tentatively-set-for-june-29th-2012/)I hope the next one is an "exploration sci-fi plot where the unknown and nature itself is somehow an adversary", many of my favourite episodes of the series were like that.
Don't forget, Kirk is a genius!
Wikipedia says:I hope the next one is an "exploration sci-fi plot where the unknown and nature itself is somehow an adversary", many of my favourite episodes of the series were like that.
^ true.. like the Horta.. or The Companion.I was thinking more like the automated fix-it ship from the Enterprise series, that was one of the few episodes from the series I liked :D
District 9
I liked this film very much, it was very watchable and kept my attention. The robot was very cool.
7/10
Sherlock Holmes 2009 9/10
Very good movie.
Now I am waiting part 2,maybe professor Moriarty get bigger role.
I cant figure out why I was so bored with it when I watched. Obviously an issue on my part because the rest of the world loved it.
There is definitely some issue with you, because I saw this movie three times and I can still watch it again. :P ;D
twas ok nothing special :)

p.s. I hope the rumour I heard that Brad Pitt will be Moriarty in the next one is nothing more than rumour. That would be awful.
sounds like daybreakers. a lost opportunity
watched the wrestler on sunday night for the first time.
my god what a fantastic film.
excellent story , excellent acting.
should have won an oscar no doubt.
Bad thing abpout that movie Goldy,, Is that the movie hit alot of true points.
Ive done the wrestling thing alot longer than I care to imagine,, and ive seen everything in that movie happen in real life to me or others.
I watch it and I get cold chills for the realism to the subject.
well worth watching.
He'd be the right age to counter RD jr. as a nemesis.. and.. people still think about him in Snatch.. and he's not bad at playing disturbed/deranged people.. so, I suppose I could think of worse choices ::)I heard that Guy Ritchie has said Moriarty is gonna be a British actor. I totally approve of anyone on this list:
Fargo is still the only I can standMost people I know say the opposite :D

http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/44210581.html
Most people I know say the opposite :D
I need to go read some factual details about Moriarty. For some reason I always picture him matched equally in age to Holmes. And..i've got an image in my head. I'd have to think of the people on the list...I've always thought of Moriarty as dorky but badass. Kind of like Hans Gruber, but I don't think Alan Rickman wants to be typecast lol and he's too old compared to RDJ.
No Country For Old Men,is superb,i'd give it 10/10
I didn't love it. I think it has astounding performances by superb actors but otherwise is just another movie. I found it too long and the end... well, lets say I didn't like it.X2 :)
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra 8/10
Gran Torino (2008)- the least racist racist i've ever seen.
whiteout - :-\ poor movie, the best part is the beginning with the shower screen ;D
district 9 - at the start i thought "what the heck" but as it progressed i found it is an excellent film. if you haven't seen it i'd say go get it.
...I wouldnt of cast Daniel Day Lewis in the role...
Dont cry. I have it on DVD,, you can come over and watch it anytime you like. lol
You know,, when I talkd about District 9 way back when,, people hated it.I still think it sucked. You and JackFrost were in agreement on this one.
I loved it myself,, but others found reasons to dislike it.
hmmm,,,, ( thinking )
Why is that? (I haven't seen the film)#1 reason: He isnt a singer and he isnt Italian.
And I haven't seen Gran Torino yet. *xtopave runs crying in shame*
I still think it sucked. You and JackFrost were in agreement on this one.
#1 reason: He isnt a singer and he isnt Italian.
---And you should be ashamed. :D You need to see Grand Torino.

Not Bad, But not as good as the other two

Capitalism A Love Story.I think MM's heart is in the right place but he never tells more than one side to any story which leaves his words/idea a bit hallow in my book. But if people feel motivated by his work then more power to him.
Docu film by Michael Moore 10/10
........if you have a soul, deep down in there, you will be one with this movie.

Halloween 2 7/10I agree! Both films were SO much better than the originals. I dont think I have EVER said that in my life. Now, the originals were precident setting films in the horror genres but the remakes do them justice plus!!
Hes doing nothing diferent than CNN, Fox News, or any of the other syndicated news companies.
Michael Moore's films can't rightly be called "documentaries". He takes a lot of stuff out of context when he "presents" his side. I think he does more harm than good.WOW!!! I didnt know Americans were allowed to question Michael Moore?!?! I always thought I was the only one. Glad to hear someone else speak up. I dont know if I agree with "more harm than good" but I do wish he would show more than his side of things. Like Dweez said, "does not a documentary make"
George A Romero's Survival Of The Dead. (2010)
Not as good as it's predecessors 6/10
A Single Man
Maybe a bit too glossy and aesthetically perfect to be a great film, but it's good nonetheless. Colin Firth is phenomenal. Julianne Moore is amazing as usual. Never got the appeal of Mr Darcy, but after this movie Colin Firth is marked down as a DILF in my book ;) Makes me want to watch Wong Karwai's work. The difference between Wong and Tom Ford is that all the extra shots of smoke curling to the ceiling and a super close up on someone's eyes in Wong's films add to what the characters convey, but for Ford it's just more pretty. Still, see it in a cinema because the pretty is just too good to miss, and Firth's performance. Well deserved Oscar nom and BAFTA (?) win.
the blind side
ok not too bad , killed an hour or so.
a feel good factor film,but not worthy of an Oscar in my opinion.
L?t den r?tte komma in (2008) aka "Let the Right One In"
Greatest movie I've ever seen.I concur
Some Like It Hot
I'm probably the last person to have seen this. Great comedy.
Some members here have expressed there dislike for "old" movies. ;D
Heaven Can Wait (1943)
Delightful darkish comedy by Ernst Lubitsch. Urbane and witty.
No, you're not. Some people haven't seen it and never will. Some members here have expressed there dislike for "old" movies. ;D
I don't dislike older movies, I just don't like them. There's a small subtlety there, but it is still there. :-[
and have seen one episode of the 1957-59 Series
Which featured 'Robby the Robot' ;D
Speaking of urbane.. have you ever seen any of the Thin Man movies?Nope, not yet ;D After exams; I'm weaning myself off watching movies for the time being. :-\
No, you're not. Some people haven't seen it and never will. Some members here have expressed there dislike for "old" movies. ;DWith my sister, anything older than 2000 she says "Ew." immediately :(
doesn't matter the age to meThat's my philosophy :)
a god movie is a good movie.
I don't dislike older movies, I just don't like them. There's a small subtlety there, but it is still there. :-[
There are also some classics that are way overrated. :-\
Like Citizen Kane (1941)Citizen Kane may be absolutely technically brilliant, but it bored me to tears. I'd rather have Fritz Lang any day for technological brilliance on film. Though I gotta admit, I totally loved Orson Welles' monologue in The Third Man.
Citizen Kane may be absolutely technically brilliant, but it bored me to tears. I'd rather have Fritz Lang any day for technological brilliance on film. Though I gotta admit, I totally loved Orson Welles' monologue in The Third Man.
Like Citizen Kane (1941) and other Welles stuff
+ nearly all of Woody Allen's stuff
Ducks + Runs for Cover :D
No kidding,, I like off the wall things,, but Woody Allen did something possibly perverted to get into movies.
Another person thats over rated is Angelina Jolie.
A mediocre actress( at best) getting by on her boobs.
Planet Hulk (2010)
I liked it --- Though it took a while to get him up to full power :D
I'd never come across the Horsey Thor = Beta Ray Bill
Apparently he was the Silver Surfer in the Mag ---
Why the Change ?
7/10
Slipstream (2005)
Avatar (2009)
I watched this last night with my 14 year old daughter and while I thought it was pretty good, she loved it. Visually it looks excellent, so it was probably right it won visual effect oscars, but I'm not sure why it was touted as a possible best picture oscar. The acting was good, but the plot premise was formulaic. I've heard it's the same plot as Pocahontas, but never having seen Pocahontas I can't really comment on that, but it kept reminding me of the Tarzan flicks - Jane comes from a supposed more civilised society, visits the jungle, mingles with the locals, embraces the local lifestyle, falls in love with a "primitive", helps the locals against her own people and stays behind.
Good film to look at but a more original plot would have made it much better. The kids will love it though if my daughter's anything to go by.
7/10
... could give 2 rat turds ...
Could be a new interesting way of rating movies too.
I saw Beerfest (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486551/) the other day. I'd give it 5 rat turds to it. ;D
Sunset Boulevard
Dogtooth 2009
IMAX: Hubble 3D --- I think I had an orgasm in the cinema.

Mongol (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416044/)
It's a very good movie. The cinematography is fabulous. The costumes are astonishing. The performances are good. The story leaves you the sensation that it lacks something but sometimes that happens with biographical/epic films. I'd recommend it.
It Happened One Night
Funny.
Nick Frost needs to lose some weight.
Have you seen Bringing Up Baby?Yep ;D I enjoy watching awkward Cary Grant more than suave Cary Grant.
Hors de prix (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482088/)I liked it too. It's a nice fun movie.
I enjoy watching awkward Cary Grant more than suave Cary Grant.
Me too!!Yay! :D
Death at a Funeral (2007) - It has been quite a while that I haven't laughed that hard. Does Britain have some other such hidden jewels? :P
How come this movie is hidden?! :D
Not like that awful Taxi remake. urgh.
The Hollywood version of 'Insomnia' was not Bad
Can't really recommend it and will prob... never see again

Yeah, PoP was much better than I thought it was going to be. I really enjoyed all the parkour action (freerunning) too. Jake G. did a pretty good job.The parkour was really good. Jake Gyllenhaal had one of the Americans with a more consistent English accent :D
I haven't seen PoP yet but I have been an avid fan of the game series since 'The Sands Of Time'. The one thing I was a little suspicious of was it's age rating, as in the games there is chopping up of minotaurs a plenty.
A 1080p copy of Leon.any good ( not the film )
Prince of Persia is probably the best movie adaptation of a video game I have ever seen.
But then again most of these movies suck.
I didn't know that Persians spoke such good English. :P
And, ostriches in Persia! Really?
The comic relief got kinda annoying sometimes with his taxes. I usually like Alfred Molina as a comic relief, but in this case I had too much of him.
At the very least, whoever makes the next Batman movie needs to pay close attention to the editing and choreography in the fights scenes.Also whoever makes the Bond movies next.
The Road - heavy but gripping .I just wanted a happy ending after all the duo went through.
i know it was never going to happen but :'(
touched on the cannibal side quite well without too much gore.
another powerful performance from V M again.
Eagle Eye (2008)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1059786/
Total balls :D
But an enjoyable Yarn -
if you can suspend disbelief
7/10
The Road will only have a 'happy' ending if you know how to see it.i wanted to a HAppy ending as in farm food etc etc. although i knew it would / could not happen.
The fact that The Boy never adopts the out-and-out mistrust of The Man and accepts the help of a stranger which may lead to The Boy to having a better life overall.
Green Zone (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0947810/) (2010)
7.5/10 Scored higher cuz I'm a Matt Damon fan but just takes a lot of "creative license", I guess, with facts.
green zone
not to bad , passsed away an hour or so.
never really kicked in for me.
not bad but expected better.
I thought it was a bloody good film personally.wasnt bad but i expected more.

Anybody read it ?
Stardust (2007)This is hardly a children's movie, so fantastically awesome.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486655/
Slightly more enjoyable flick ---
certainly multi-dimentional ;)
8/10
Stardust (2007) :Never said it was --- But it was a PG :
This is hardly a children's movie, so fantastically awesome.
Never said it was --- But it was a PG :I just meant that most people look at it on the rack at HMV or something and will probably misunderstand it as a children's movie.
Session 9. WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED? And dont ask Jackal because he is no help at all. If anyone watches this can you please write your interpretation down for me.
duh, he was dead the whole time....wait, wrong movie
(http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo51/dw33z/LOL_Pics/87d15d98.jpg)
When did Sam Worthington move to Oz
and how long was he there ?
Coz he still had the accent ;D
apparently he's hot property at the moment.I really wish he isn't. He ruins every movie he's in. Hollywood needs to realise this asap. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.
i just saw SALT and i really liked it.never heard of it until now.
I couldnt even make it 20 minutes Max, but your ability to watch "military" things far exceeds mine. Just couldnt get into it.The first 20 minutes was pretty snooze-worthy. :D
I saw it this and Fight Club in the same night two or three years ago and thought why didn't I see these movies sooner? I liked both a lot. I don't like Christian Bale (or Chlo? Sevigny) either so that's probably why I avoided seeing this. But CB was brilliant as Patrick Bateman. He was creepy as hell.

Sky High
This film was fun and silly. I liked Kurt Russell, because he's Snake Plissken and I wanted that fire guy to end up with the flower girl, but they don't get together.
Unfortunately, you don't get to see as mush Kurt Russell as I'd have liked. I wouldn't watch it again.
4/10
But Michael Angarano is great in it (as in every movie I've seen him in).
Films like this are one of my "secret pleasures" (same as "10 Things I Hate About You" and "Drive Me Crazy"). I loved Sky High.
centurion
a brutal blood and guts movie about Romans trying to get home from scotland.7 / 10
It was loosely based on Don Quixote so maybe I should read that and see if it clears things up.
I believe Zac Efron is going to star in the US remake.
The Magnificent 7 / Battle Beyond the Stars
and A Fistful of Dollars
were Good ;D ;D ;D
Insomnia was OK
and
Point of No Return was not bad
The Magnificent 7 / Battle Beyond the Stars
and A Fistful of Dollars
were Good ;D ;D ;D
and Ben affleck wasn't horrible usually his acting makes me grind my teeth.
whats the difference ?I'm no expert, but when I did kung fu (the teacher lady called it Wing Chun), the Karate classes looked more aggressive and seemed to require more physical exertion. Of course, these are only observations made upon walking past the classes, but it made my kung fu lessons seem a bit tame. The karate people even got to say the "HAH" thing they do on TV.
whats the difference ?
I saw The TownUh, speak for yourself, mishca! :D ;D ;)
I liked it although there wasn't a lot of eye candy.

Btw don't waste time on this film. The scenes from the end titles are funny though.
Ahhh, I really liked Ninja Assassin. You can't go into it like it's an American film.Exactly.
The Town.
gritty bank robbery / love story.
well played , nice speed , excellent ending.
similar to Heat but played by a lower class of people.( Heat is playing on the TV in a bedroom ;D :D )
good acting
The Happening (2008)
Not Terrible, but Not Good either...
Ben Affleck's acting is painful to watch sometimes :( which keeps me from seeing his movies now. Which is dumb, because I think he's a likable guy. So, I might eventually see it..I thought the same about Ben Affleck, but he was pretty good in the film. Definitely see it.
Predators 2010
I just can't see Adrien Brody as a tough guy after that great film The Pianist.This is why I thought something was off about the film. :-\
I watched Predators some time ago and while it was a pretty good and worthwhile action flick, I just can't see Adrien Brody as a tough guy after that great film The Pianist.
He pulls it off quite well,and i have The Pianist will watch soon.
I agree he did pull it off (he's a quality actor after all), but seeing him as the timid, quivering perhaps even cowardly character in The Pianist creates an image of him that's hard to shake. In some ways that made his performance in Predators even more admirable.
Bride & Prejudice (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361411/) (2004)I was going to be an extra in that film, but in the end they wouldn't have us. But we still got paid for eating their food :D
The plot according to IMDb: Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice gets a Bollywood treatment.
This film is from the director of Bend It Like Beckham. It was beautifully done and delightfully cheesy. I enjoyed it so much I even watched the extra BTS from the film which are equally delightful.
7/10
can i have you autograph ;D ;D ;D ;DMaybe it was because it was the first meal I had that day, but I thought the food was awesome :D. And here:
hope the food was nice .
^ so Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was the best of the bunch?So far, yes. It's a very enjoyable film. The idea of the quiet, shy guy getting the girl just appeals to me. For some reason. ::)

I've only seen the first two, think I'll give the others a miss if they're as bad as you say.There is 8 Hellraisers,only 2 first are good,then quality goes downhill and fast as usual.
Wow! Why didn't they take you? Did you see the film, what did you think of it?They said we didn't look right for it :'(. I haven't seen the film yet, it's fun to claim I'm boycotting it. My traitor friend has seen it. The traitor!

I think the abs are real but the pecs are either padding or CGI. I'm sorry, that's steroid pecs right there and I doubt CE would 'roid out just for a role.

Maybe she's talking about 30 Minutes or Less (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1622547/)?
My husband always fells asleep in movies. He fall asleep watching Goodfellas. I think he only saw the titles. 146 min of snoring and drooling. Unbelievable.

I watched Everything is Illuminated ... Which I liked.

I liked the movie too , I feel like that was the last movie I saw eljah wood in.

Hate those 'everyone is beautiful' flicks
horrible bosses http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1499658/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1499658/) not too bad had funny moments .
green lantern http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1133985/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1133985/)
hate the main actor with a passion, reminds me of work college who kisses a**
I forgot I saw Hereafter. Ill admit I fast.forwarded.through the frnch womans.part.because I thought that story was.boring . The ending was nic and some.scenes.made me cry. I feltsomewhat sorry for mattdamons character . Overall it was nice movie
So why do you think it didn't get overly good reviews? Was it the plot content of that subject is too hard to deal with if people don't get specific answers they want? or, was it the boring part?possibly because people wanted clint to give them a answer and he didnt ???
Being a fairly hardcore comic fan, it takes a bit to look paste the discontinuity.
Thor (2011) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800369/)

Ah, that's torture. Having it all right there in the boxes but not letting you at them is maddening.

Not a 'Supporting Role'
Crazy Stupid Love
There are worse romcoms. Ryan Gosling's abs are unreal. Emma Stone is hilarious. How does Julianne Moore not have ALL THE AWARDS yet? (Not necessarily for this movie)
I just got crazystupidlove, I havent watched it yet but the reason I got it was for his abs. hes such a hottie.::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D i thought it was a laugh , worth the watch
I know some people here might want to eat my liver for what I'm about to say but Green Lantern is a BAD movie. Maybe it's that cult thing that doesn't touch me. Beh, maybe it's just me.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)totally agree.

I liked it, although the plot was strangely familiar...
and Superman was drawn too young.
8/10
Bad box office performance doesn't necessarily mean bad movie. Shawshank Redemption was a flop, as was "It's a Wonderful Life". Cutthroat Island lost a pot-load of money, as did Sahara: I (and a couple of others) enjoyed both of them.
My sister said she was surprised at how good the John Carter film is. She said you wouldn't expect a film with a name like that to be worth watching.
The Three Musketeers http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1509767/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1509767/)
Although every major acting roll is taken up by known reputable actors / actress I found it
very disappointing . Way too much money thrown at it just wooden. 4/10
I still prefer the earlier versions http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072281/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072281/) .
The movie is not that good but the costumes are breathtaking.
Might give it a bash one rainy, Sunday afternoon then.
It's not boring. Logan Lerman's haircut is a bit disturbing though. ;D

THE AVENGERS
Loved it. solid 9.9/10. best damn superhero-movie of them all.
- 0.1 because Captain America's costume looked silly to me.
But since that is the only thing I disliked, I would recommend it.
That comment may even convince me to go to an actual cinema to see it, since the last flick I saw at one was "Se7en" (I can't believe that was 1995?!).
You'd better take some smelling salts along for when they tell you the price of the ticket.
Days were when you could chip in for one of your mates to get in, and he'd open the fire escape doors and let the other 13 of us in.
:o Shocking :o
You'd still need money though to buy a choc ice from the ice cream lady during intermission.
Actually when did popcorn replace ice cream as the main cinema snack? I didn't realise it was happening until it was too late. >:(
Actually when did popcorn replace ice cream as the main cinema snack?
Chocolate-coated Raisins = Yummmmm
Ice cream??! That's new to me. The classic cinema snack around these parts of the globe was chocolate-coated peanuts. I feel ancient right now. :D
When I go to a theatre, I always get a mega-large drink (hate having to miss part of the movie to get a refill), a small back of popcorn (I can't share as I don't use my hands to eat the popcorn...just one of my quirks), and a box of Raisinettes. The mix of salty and sweet is a nice combo.
Just Saw Haywire I think Gina Carano is awesome ! but I didnt like the voice altering thing they did to her voice.I'm still debating that film, al over the place with the direction.
I like goobers and pop corn but don't you have to go to the bathroom? I tried to hold it while at lord of the rings when it first came out and I was telling myself okay its going ot end in 5 mins , he's going to throw the ring in the lava….nope. So , I totally try to avoid getting big drinks at the movies.

here's a article about it.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/haywire-gina-carano-mma-channing-tatum-281229
when you watch her speak her lip movements did not match up in all the scenes
That's encouraging as I'd hate to let a CGI film pass me by.I wouldn't trust my sister's choice of film, she likes films I don't. :))
looks good, but a big flop at the box office, it seems a lot of times big budget movies flop, they later go after downloaders with copyright lawsuits.Wikipedia says it received "mixed" reviews, which I normally take to meaning you'd need couple pints beforehand (and maybe a couple more during) :)). But, yeah, they'll blame the pirates with their big made-up numbers and try to get even more of the internet censored >:(.

I haven't watched it myself but my mother-in-law took the grandchildren to the cinema to see Real Steel and she never mentioned there was anything inappropriate. What she did mention was she was pleasingly surprised by this movie.
I am surprised it was not a 'U'ditto
Prometheus.
Awesome.
I now require everyone else to watch it, so I can discuss the plot, continuity, and philosophy in it. I demand you all go and watch it now.
I'll wait.

.... if you thought it was good (awesome)....
I'm glad it's good. Star Trek disappointed me enough to not risk paying for another sequel/prequel/spin-off.
It isn't an "effects" movie. It is a "story" movie.
Avatar (for example) had a so-so story with magical effects, Prometheus is an interesting nearly-back-story to a well-loved and well-regarded bunch of movies, and the effects are barely noticeable. They are staggeringly well done, but you don't "see the join" so to speak: they definitely don't get in the way of, or detract from, the storytelling.
Ergo anyone wanting a whizz-o effects driven extravaganza is bound to be disappointed.
Charlize Theron is gorgeous by the way. (I don't consider that a spoiler)
....a pretty mediocre sci-fi tv series.
You're cracked.Heh, yeah, possibly! :))
Don't watch :I'm going to have to watch it now, damn it!

Angry yes. But I notice you didn't refute my statement. :D
I find it incredible that with all the advanced special FX and CGI jiggery-pokery these days, a 9 year old can be as awe inspired by something made in the 60s.

Brought to mind :
"Don Gato y su pandilla (2011) aka Top Cat"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1821680/
which has not been well received
even by kids who liked the old toons
I bought "Plan 9 from Outer Space" the other week from the pound shop. I'm still not sure if it's really bad or so bad it's good, but the Missus thinks I was ripped off. :(
Just watch the bits with Bela Lugosi in it. I'm also a little worried that someone called Dudley Manlove would be cast as Eros.
Only Ed Wood would have the temerity to make a film starring a man who'd been dead and buried for three years.
You forgot Carl French:QuoteMan (Michael Palin: (Jarring cord)...Well, this time you've crawled too far!
Woman (Terry Jones): Oh, Jeb, Jeb! Why did you do it? You could have destroyed the tapes and none of this leftist clap-trap would have happened!
Interviewer: (Michael Palin) An excerpt from Carl French's latest film. Carl, we're all a little mystified by your claim that your new film stars Marilyn Monroe.
Carl French: (Graham Chapman) It does, yes.
Interviewer: Who died over ten years ago?
Carl French: Uh, that's correct.
Interviewer: Are you lying?
Carl French: No, no, it's just that she'e very much in the public eye at the moment.
Interviewer: Does she have a big part?
Carl French: She is the star of the film.
Interviewer: And dead.
Carl French: Well, we dug her up and gave her a screen test, a mere formality in her case, and...
Interviewer: Can she still act?
Carl French: Well... well, she-she's still has this-this enormous, ah-ah, kinda indefinable, uh... no.
Interviewer: Was decomposition a problem?
Carl French: We did have to put her in the fridge between takes.
Interviewer: Ah, what sorts of things does she do in the film?
Carl French: Well, we had her lying on beds, lying on floors, falling out of cupboards, scaring the children...
Interviewer: But surely Miss Monroe was cremated?
Carl French: Well, we had to use a standin for some of the more visible shots.
Interviewer: Ah! Uh, another actress.
Carl French: Dead actress. But Monroe was in shot the whole time.
Interviewer: How?
Carl French: Oh, in the ash tray, in the fire grate and vacuum cleaner...
Interviewer: So Marilyn does not appear in the film?
Carl French: Not as such.
Interviewer: Mr. French, you're one of the film world's most arrogant queens. I mean not just homosexual or merry or anything, I mean you are a raving queen.
Carl French: Well, yes.
Interviewer: I mean, a real screamer, a real "Whoops! Get out! Don't mind me dear!" limp-wristed caricature.
Carl French: Is that not in order?
Interviewer: No, no, that's fine. And I understand that you married the beautiful black heiress Hueyna Tanoy partly for the publicity but mostly to cover up the fact that you prefer going out with little boys.
Carl French: Look, really!
Interviewer: Carl, you're an effeminate little poof, a mincing merry-bar loiterer, a winnet-covered walking perfume shop and an evil perverter of innocent little boys!
Carl French: What!? Really! Is this part of the interview?
Interviewer: No, no, I just wanted a few contacts.
Carl French: Well-well, shouldn't we be talking about the film?
Interviewer: We've been off the air for ages. Now, where'd you find them?
Carl French: Look, I think we are still on the air.
Interviewer: Oh, sod the bless'ed air! I just still get locked up with that sort of thing.
Carl French: What about the film?
Interviewer: Just a few addresses, please...
Carl French: Look, we got James Dean in it, in a box!
Interviewer: I-I can turn the microphone off if you...
Carl French: And bits of Jayne Mansfield...
i still can't resist checking out Steven Seagal movies, hoping for a decent one, but i'm rapidly learning its not going to happen.
did they use a commodore 64 to do the CGI for Lockout?

Wrath of the Titans. 7/10
not as good as Clash of the Titans, but i liked it. if you like Lord of the Rings type movies, you'll like this.
I can't say I didn't like it but I've found the plot quite dull.even the main actor Sam Worthington critised the movie.

Man on a Ledge http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1568338/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1568338/)
not too bad, twists and turns as always. enjoyed for a hour or two.
Chronicle (2012)finally watched Chronicle on the weekend, was good, but found it a very dark movie, you can't help but sympathize with the main character.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1706593/
Good Sci-Fi Action Flick
Actors a little old for High School
but such is the Hollywood way :-\
Did it need the 'Found Footage' gimmick ?
--- NO, but at least it did not spoil it.
A solid 8/10 maybe 8.5
Haywire (2011)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1506999/
Another Good Action Flick
Derivative perhaps, but so what !
The weakest part for me was -
Ewan McGregor - unbelievable? I did not notice anything...
A solid 7/10 maybe 7.5
I'm still waiting.tick tock tick tock
I'm still waiting.
I watched Prometheus today. I liked it!! It got me hooked for the 2hrs. and that doesn't happen to me frequently.
I saw the chestburster scene from Alien at the theater when I was around 10 yrs old. I'm glad I'm a grown up now or that Noomi Rapace scene would have marked me for life. :D
Rapace and Fassbender are fantastic. Charlize Theron is the ultimate ice queen (although plays a secondary character that imo it only exists to make you doubt about things).
One observation and one question.
- Who sets up such a mission with people who don't know each other? It'd jeopardize the mission.
- The holograms: Do they trigger by themselves? I didn't understand how that happened.
Btw, I see another movie coming up.
:oI
that's what the reviewers were saying, lots of action and special effects, but crappy storyline. all in all though, they recommended it.That describes pretty much every action film that comes out nowadays. :D ;D
A little long, one scene in particular
could have been lost...
When they mentioned

Good, but not as good as I was expecting
Damned Hype...
The Bourne Legacy:
Overall I enjoyed it...
I wouldn't have minded more action, but first in the story needs to build a little character development. Looking forward to the next Bourne movie(s).
Finally watching all the star wars movies. They're ok so farJust out of curiosity, what order did you watch them in?
The proper order to watch them is Episode 4, Episode 5, Episode 6........then stop.;D ;D ;D ;D
Dark Knight Rises
Although I have been really disappointed with the leading ladies that have been casted for throughout the trilogy Anne Hathaway did an alright job. Christan Bale is awesome. Tom Hardy uh I really like his face and his body and I couldn't tell if his voice was his real voice , his character wasn't bad so he mustve done a good job.
anywho it was good movie.
Well crap.... Thats not what I meant to say
Hathaway is the best part of this film in my opinion
I don't remember much about the miniseries. The movie is long and a bit slow at times but yeah, worth the watch. The lightning, scenery,costumes are incredibly well done.
Total Recall 2012- better than i expected. Kate Beckinsale was an absolute madam is this movie, what a bad ass.My sentiment exactly. She was the saving grace of the film.
My sentiment exactly. She was the saving grace of the film.
New Spiderman- I really dislike Garfield but he was perfectly cast for this role. I think I like him best. Feels creepy to even say that. The movie was adequate but the casting was goodod.
Dredd 2012
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm I think everybody had best give up on the notion of making a decent dredd movie.
Moon (2009)
I quite liked that movie. I hadn't expected much as it was so underrated, but I thought the effects had a good budget as it stayed interesting enough to keep watching until the end.Was a ok movie. Some of the original and this film mixed together would have been a great film.
I was pleasantly surprised.
I thought flight was dreadful and couldn't wait for it end and I thought it was to long.
I know its week but what can i do ;D

To Quentin I say: Leck mich im Arsch
Thing is, I generally enjoy his movies but it's all gone to his head. He needs to grow up and he'll never be the Directing God that he thinks he is.
Iwatchedtried to watch The Man with the Iron Fists last week. Didn't make it all the way through due to it sending me to sleep, and I am not going to bother retrying. I was really looking forward to to watching it too.
Twilight Breaking Dawn II - as the other films really,I wont hate it just to be trendy.Passed an hour and tied the story up nicely.
It took me two attempts to watch it, Made me laugh to be honest,
Modern day kung fu film ;D ;D
Lincoln - Strong powerful performance of Daniel ( worthy Oscar).
Silver Linings Playbook - Fantastic film.loved it, worth Oscar winner again. :D :D
Twilight Breaking Dawn II - as the other films really,I wont hate it just to be trendy.Passed an hour and tied the story up nicely.
Safe - Jason at his normal best.
The Divide - post apocalyptic movie.Chaos ensues with a little bit of murder.Twas ok
Dave - A nice little romantic movie.
I don't believe I hate it to be trendy. I have hated the entire series mainly because I was such a fan of the books. They casted so terribly, but I had to watch them all to see where they went with them.I didnt know you had posted anything about the movie's ??? :) :)
I'm dying to see silver linings play book.fantastic acted movie with a good story.
Damn son, did you have the whole week off?all but 3 movies i watched as my wife was at work. I dont watch much TV so i watch a movie :)

I guess I can see why some would like Cloud Atlas but for me it was kind of meh.
a shadow of a doubt http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036342/?ref_=sr_1 interesting movie, but unfortunately I'd already read about what would happen. Still the acting of Uncle Charlie's character was strong and creepy
I think it's a bit overrated. Idk, it lacks...something. Probably just me.I read a few reviews from people who had too high expectations going into the movie .. it being Hitchcocks fav movie and all.

This really speaks bad of the flick then. *Note* See dweez's previous opinion on QT
Had Anne Heche as Depp's long suffering wife. I just never could warm up to that actress. She's technically good, but there's something missing.
Jack Reacher http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0790724/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0790724/)

He's weird in that movie. Kinda like an extraterrestrial. Oohhh, maybe he is an ET! :Ddoes scientology count
does scientology count
Oblivion
I'll be kind and say 7.5/10. Basically the usual special FX with a thin plot line we've seen a dozen times before.
It got a lukewarm review from Manola Darghis of the New York Times. Tom Cruise sends me running in the opposite direction. He's not much of an actor. Seems to have one speed.
Do you say that because it was written by Stephenie Meyerboth ;)
Or just from the watching ;D

Did you ever see Run Down? It was pretty entertaining.
Blasphemy!
Nah not really. Evil Dead is like the failed Evil Dead 2.

In 'The Cell' maybe

"Android" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083557/)This film is difficult to acquire. It is en route, mais lentement :(
Not a bad movie, but not great either. As far as sci-fi goes, the story is good.
The acting is rubbish, the main role is played by someone who calls himself Max 404 and plays himself. I guess Klaus Kinski was okay.
Pretty sure it was a post-dub affair as the voices didn't sound like they were in the rooms the scenes were filmed in.
Finally, I'm curious as to if the actor who plays Sheldon in Big Bang Theory has seen this film as his stilted movement is a lot like that of Max 404.
If you like sci-fi, get this one.
This film is difficult to acquire. It is en route, mais lentement :(
I'd rather watch a bad action flick than a classic love story.
I watch some really bad films looking for the gold.
Brain Damage (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094793/) is one of those really bad films. Brian meets a worm like creature that lives in his arm pit (or somewhere like that) and squirts blue liquid into an hole at the base of is head. It sends Brian into a moronic state of running around hooting like a simpleton at the fun fair and seeing things in goofy-vision.
The creature lives off brains and while Brian is high, it sucks the brains out of unsuspecting people. Except if the victim is female. Oh yeah, almost forgot about that scene, which is pretty much softcore rape porn.
And there is your reason not to watch the film. Not because the acting the worst I've seen in a while, not because it is basically a 2 hour anti-drug advert. Even though Basket Case and Frankenhooker were great, I don't think I'll be watching any more films directed by Frank Henenlotter.
Check PM's
I think when your drug days pass you some of these classics just arent as funny anymore.
Ricky 6 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0156020/)
There isn't even any good music in it.

it needed more hair metal.
haunted house with marlon wayne. I could not make it past 30 mins , had to switch it off it was so bad.
Shogun Assassin and Xtro have often been mistakenly listed as video nasties,
though neither film ever appeared on any official DPP lists.
Xtro was rated 18 (1982 Film / 1987 Video) then re-rated 15 (2007)
World War Z (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0816711/) I liked the Resident Evil movies better than this zombie apocalypse thriller.
World War Z. I thought it wasnt as bad as all that.Action / mind numbing fun.

Saving Mr. Banks *** 1/2 stars. One of the most brilliant scripts Ive seen in decades. Acting was great and film as very good but this script. Oy..... masterful.Viewed last night- Strong, powerful, addictive, I would guess not as brutal as it could have been.

Good and very watchable,

I think that one day--should we last that long as a civilization ;)--we'll be talking about Alfonso Cuaron in the same way film enthusiasts discuss Hitchcock, Welles, or Kubrick.

One day he will have an Oscar written script for him to excell at filming, but Gravity wasn't one.

It was probably because all the copies of Ticker were already rented out.

What I loved about A Walk Among The Tombstones was when he dropped his gun right at the beginning and when he fell down the stairs (and other bits that could be spoilers). It's rare that films are made that truly resemble how things are in real life. Great direction in my opinion.Agree he did seem a little more human.
I envy you, guys (with an envy that borders on hatred :D) bc you have time to watch movies. But tomorrow is the day. I will entrench in my room and go on a binge of movie watching till my eyes hurt.
I watched Inherent Vice (2014) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1791528) today. The time and place is fantastically achieved. The costumes, hair, make-up are truly remarkable. Brolin and Phoenix performances are very good. BUT this is a 2.5 hs movie. It hashundredsthousands of characters and the plot is unnecessarily complicated (I suspect the novel is way better than the movie). It tries to be psychedelic and ends up being narcoleptic. The music helps a lot in that regard. I can't say it's a bad movie but I'm writing this so if you decide to watch it you do it with both eyes open. Until you fall asleep.
I spent much of this morning reading about that movie. After reading the summary, I couldn't figure out what it was actually meant to be about. Even the synopsis was overly complicated.

Seventh son ....sucked so bad I fell asleep, on the plus side it was the best sleep I've ever had at a movie theatre. Right after seventh son went to see Jupiter ascending it was amazing compared to seventh son. Channing Tatum acting was top notch but it was probably because he didn't talk much.
Wedding Ringer was mostly funny even though Im not a fan of Kevin hart.
The interview was total crap. Fast forwarded through most it but it reconfirmed how annoying I find Seth rogan.

Spy was funny, definitely better than wasting money to see terminator or magic mike.
I wonder who could have played Jason Strathrom sp? part ?
Derivative of the Numskulls, in my opinion.
I watched Jurassic World yesterday. The story was predictable. The characters were predictable....
But you must admit it's a great vehicle for product placement.
The star is not Chris Pratt, but a lineup of cars including the new GLE, the G63 AMG 6x6 and a small army of Sprinter vans and Unimogs.
Parts of the trailers look like thinly-veiled Mercedes ads.
They always remind me of "The Little World of Don Camillo" from when I was young(er).
U Turn.
Typical Oliver Stone acid flashbacks style & assorted cinematographic horseshit; he used the same tricks he used (to better effect) in Natural Born Killers. A good cast wasted in this self-derivative foray into... ?

I liked Straight outta Compton.
One thing is for sure, T, is that you have some real staying power.
I'll nut a film off in the first 10 minutes if it's crap.
Watching a movie once isn't a real measure for me: anyone can sleep/ catnap/ daydream all the way through a crap picture once. I measure success by rewatchability. I have watched (e.g.) Armageddon dozens of times (one day, maybe, Harry Stamper will survive ...), but I cannot bring myself to watch Prometheus again. That is despite thinking that I had enjoyed Prometheus when I first came out of the theatre.
I have to watch the thing all the way through and then let my subconscious decide if it was worthwhile, as obviously the conscious me makes poor decisions and I wouldn't want that to happen only ten minutes in!
(There are many, many pictures for which I cannot remember what happens much after the opening credits. I don't rewatch those, either.)
This is especially true of Segal movies.
I would think that would be evident from the movie poster.

The Witch - im not big on horror,me also but this isnt a horror really, more of the time it was set and what they believe. Poor really.
Do you find the movie poor, or the culture of era, maybe something else?
I rather enjoyed seeing the time period acted out, I loved the dialect. It's a subject I'm interested in, a fantasy, and still holds historical root. I could not decide between two theories i predicted to happen, and for once I didn't care when it answered to neither, yet gave a fully descriptive ending.
The Huntsman: Winter's War 2016 - basically a waste of time
I have avoided batman vs superman, as I did alien vs predator, Jason vs Freddy(hate obvious winners - Jason doesn't sleep.) And all superman movies, so far I prevail.
The Witch - im not big on horror, I kinda dig thrillers and " spaghetti gore/horror" I pretty much despise gore movies, no matter if they by chance have a plot...
Although I did like a lot of nineties horror, scream types, summer of Sam, rob zombie flicks.. Most which fall under speghettie horror to me. the classics of horror are a go, scarier than modern movies are my prefered favorite in oldies. This was none of these really, i read it described as hard to watch, as in, you feel like you shouldnt be watching it. but I did, and I admit to enjoying the story no matter the graphic content. Usually I love movies that posses the quality to make me feel it's something I shouldn't see... The words should & shouldnt are over used, to say in the slightest..
The filming was very well, actors were very well, and a solid ending with no need of a twist to keep you pondering some of its mysteries well afterward.
Eddie the Eagle: I really enjoyed it but it's kind of a goofy movie.
The Revenant: This movie had me fully engrossed. I was sitting, so absorbed in it, then I realized Leo hadn't even spoke in over 20 minutes. The bear scene was pretty wild.

I genuinely wondered how the Assylum managed to pay for the famous faces on this shitfest of pseudoscience garbage, slightly more cerebral than such unforgettable movies as Sharknado and Sharknado2 (SIC) it contains too many inaccuracies for even the pretty CGI to detract from though I am sure there is enough to keep the idiocracy blissfully happy in their ignorance...
For those with a higher IQ than a glass of water the inaccuracies pile up in an intollerable manner so that you dont even get to exercise your suspension of disbelief before the next pile of badly thought out pseudoscience comes along, it is true this is a roller coaster ride but not in a good way think of that really bad hang over you had and some evil sonofabitch first force feeds you with every greasy thing in the kitchen and then puts you on a roller coaster ride and you are too busy trying not to vomit on yourself to enjoy the ride, for anybody that understands even the most fundamental scientific principles this film is like that....
OK it has a little intrigue, it has conspiracy, it has pretty CGI and it has explosions and some action but all that is lost because you are still reeling from the last pile of pseudoscience garbage...

(some of the) Aerial shots were done over Gosport.
I looked up to see the aeroplanes, yes.
A submarine in the latest Transformers movie was shot in Gosport, too.
Yup. The precise geographical centre of absolutely nowhere.
Smurfs: The Lost Village. (with a six-year-old)
I don't know what to tell you.
The Foreigner 2017 IMDb: tt1615160 9/10
When I saw that Jackie Chan was in this my expectation was that whilst he is good in comedy and light action movies I didn`t know what to expect from him in a movie like this, I was pleasantly surprised, throughout Jackie Chan delivered the perfect performance as a grieving father with a fixation on bringing the murderers of his daughter to justice...
I heartily recomend this movie, it shows Jackie Chan can do serious acting and has a depth of acting ability I hadn`t thought possible for a glorified stuntman but he has truly acquitted himself very well on screen and proved my previous thoughts erroneous...

Armageddon. A shame Harry didn't make it.
-- oh, and TLJ - I enjoyed it. I particularly enjoyed the call outs to other movies: the flux capacitor, and the jurassic park ripple to name but two.
bright in Netflix was pretty good.it entertained me also
Did you mean Beyond Skyline?
If so I agree it was fun to watch and so was Kingsman - The golden circle ;D
That isn't the one with Merida in, right?Merida ? had to google that ( def not bikes lol). correct its with Jason Momoa
I watched Wonder Woman.
... other than that, and the fact that DC appear to have forgotten that you can shoot film in colours other than muddy brown, it was OK.
Ill be glad to read what you think if that movie, Six. I've thought to check it out eventually.
Still binge watching shameless, I'm on season 5 now, maybe six, idk. Netflix keeps track for me.
I watched Armageddon yesterday.please. spoiler alert required
Harry died. Sad.
I watched Armageddon yesterday.
Harry died. Sad.
I miss you. Ha!!
... and I got a telling off for spoilers!
Maybe I'm a little behind but I've just finished watching Black Panther and I'm left think "what the golly was all the fuss about?".tried to watch turned it off, will try again when not so drunk ;)
Maybe I'm showing my age, but I liked them best with Peter Gabriel.
Maybe I'm showing my age, but I liked them best with Peter Gabriel.
Strangely, I am nearly certain that I saw them in Chicago right before Gabriel left the band. The Auditorium Hotel is an historic theatre with remarkable acoustics. I'd never heard of them before that concert. A friend took me along.
Lamb Lies Down tour. I saw it in Southampton."Maybe"?
Fair point.
Ok. Made the big mistake of ignoring the reviews and watched A Wrinkle In Tme with the family.
Half the family bailed, one fell asleep and my daughter and myself struggled on which was not a wise thing to do.
It was totally pants.
And then some.
Sicario 2. The copy I watched lacked subtitles. Much of the film is in Spanish. Part of the film is in sign. I don't speak Spanish or sign.
Pretty shocking opening, I'll say that. Trump's wet dream, and of course the state department shits the bed.
I guess it's a good movie? the lack of subtitles ruined it for me.
I have to admit I probably wont see the latest Jurassic park. the originals are too firmly stuck in my brain and Chris pratt is eeehworth a watch if nothing on the tv.

Life lesson: don't snort anything.
Apparently it's the first time Denzel has done a sequel, and one wonders what made this the series he wanted to return to.money ?
Had to look up who the vanisher was, just looked like generic white guy when he died."he" looked a little like brad pitt when he electrocuted himself
We saw 3 flicks while on hols: Skyscraper, Alpha and Darkest minds.
Darkest minds was a whole heap-o-crap. Both my daughter (who is 12 so it's not a generation thing) and myself couldn't wait for it to end. It was so boring and over melodramatic that had I'd not been in a cinema, I'd have bailed half way through.
Skyscraper was a lot of fun and I can't fault it. I could fault it if I'd gone to the theatre expecting great acting, a coherent storyline, some idea of whether I was watching a thriller or a comedy, but I didn't. I wanted the Rock, and I got the Rock.
Alpha was an interesting watch. Kinda really liked it, but not so much that I can remember a good deal about it.
Armageddon. Then the end again on +1. I keep watching in the hope that one day Harry is going to let AJ stay.I wont spoil it but
After a reccommendation from Jock I watched "Kajaki" which is a true story of British soldiers whose patrol took them into a russian mine field left behind after the Russian occupation of Afghanistan.
Jock knew some of the actual guys this happenened to and it was very true to life (No dramatic music, no faux heroics and the humour in the face of adversity was typical of army humour, dark but somehow uplifting for those around).
A solid 10/10 but not for the faint hearted as the make up and effects are realistic.
Kilo Two Bravo?
Wowee zowee.
Bohemian Rhapsody. What a train wreck of a movie. It was like a Wikipedia article set to film. No character development, no logic, no insights. Just the facts, ma'am. After 59 minutes, I made an economical assessment. What was more valuable to me? Another 61 minutes of this sad effort, or a good hour of sleep? I opted for the latter. Rami Malek is a cute guy. He's like Mr. Robot in the 70's. Cute, and singing. Freddie Mercury he ain't.
Not something I'd fancy at all but I find it interesting that it gets high review ratings pretty much everywhere and has already earned about 10x its budget.
Perhaps it's akin to Springtime for Hitler.
Yes, but could you elaborate?So bad it hurts.
Samuel L Jackson just named his favourite five film roles. Number 1 was Long Kiss Goodnight!indeed a classic
I assume you haven't seen Mr. Robot?
Private war looks like a movie you'd watch when you're too happy and need to lower that level.Agree with A private war comment
How was Velvet Buzzsaw? I noticed the robot changed what he said. During the crowd scene he says "I cannot help you"
Then when he's all creepy storage unit terminator, he says "I can help you".
I was guessing the trailer was just going to be a hook and have nothing to do with the robot, dream sequence, etc...
Overlord 2018Have watched was OK thats it
The Highwayman was ok not as bad as i thought and loved the photos of the original people at the end.
Full of Known actors, how truthful I have no idea.
Accents a little hard to understand at times (or i am just going deaf). Enjoyed
John Wick III. It was bad. I made a thread about it, but boil it all down, It was bad.but it was suppose to be BAD ;D ;D
That bloke is a nutcase. I felt for his wife.
Sam is comic relief more or less everywhere, nowadays.
Have you broken your photobucket account, sir?
the homesman, Tommy Lee Jones, loved him and Jennifer Garner's performance so far,have also watched that, love a unusual movie (not run of the mill)
It's OK - no-one else knows how true it is either.Fair enough
So, Skip Solo. It's not even worth trying. The only reason I loaded up was to try and drain my cell battery, and it was even bad at that.
Derivative of Guardians of the Galaxy too.
Oops - sorry - accidentally let the monster out from under the blanket. Apologies.
Breaking Bad got two fantastic Finales, and GOT couldn't manage one.
I think that has by now been established the Mr King is better on the page than on the screen.
I am sure that I have posted pretty much the same post as this sometime ago, but I can't seem to find it.
I was thinking that the first screengrab was more like California with the hills in the distance and that part of the road is on a pretty steep hill making me think of San Francisco, the other screengrabs come from a part of the film that looks remarkably like South Africa with its corrugated metal roofs and the architecture it looks like one of the smaller townships.
Have a word with the management.
There hasn't been much call for the thumbs-up icon for many a year. I believe it's knee deep in cobwebs and why dweez might not be able to see it straight off.

All of them, at the same time, no doubt.;D ;D though i would see that again ;D ;D
I finally got round to watching The Lobster tonight.
Some time in the near future I'm hoping my sanity will return.
I quite liked The One and Only Ivan as it was well made and the true story element made it more heartwarming than it might have been had it been a tale.Must watch.
Stardust.Totally agree, but what will be
Great, but not as good as Princess Bride.
Has anyone seen Dune yet?I just have, but the original, cannot wait for the new version
Yeah. The first Dune movie was pretty lame. The new one does not have much of a bar to clear to be better.
Yeah. The first Dune movie was pretty lame. The new one does not have much of a bar to clear to be better.there was lots of behind the scenes difficulties on that one
I liked the book. I liked several more of the books, too: I thought the second and third books were better than the first, to be honest.
I think that the book series (or at least the original series, before the family turned it into a soap opera) would lend itself to a long-term six/ seven/ eight season show to take us from the beginning and then quite a long way into the saga. It doesn't really have enough pizzazz to be like the MCU movies, but has plenty enough interest to be a Babylon 9/ BSG style long form event.
I think the movie is doomed, regardless of quality, because in this age of internet annihilation it will get destroyed by whichever set of "fans" it disappoints, and there are too many disparate group to satisfy all of them.

You're a better man than I, goldie. I couldn't even finish the trailer.Don't mind her but love it 😅😁
Maybe it's because Sex and the City gave me an aversion to Sarah Jessica Parker. Although she's a talented actress, she has taken too many roles that are just the same speed and one tires of her quirks. The same could probably be said of Diane Keaton.
I haven't seen a movie in a long time. Maybe we just fall asleep too soon. I did love "Bad Santa."
I feel like SJP is a better actress than the roles she is either offered or picks. She doesn't appear to be as insufferable as Gwyneth Paltrow, but she apparently isn't a joy to work with, which is sad.
I read the Wikipedia article on that movie, and I would have hated it. It's a genre straddler with the needle buried on tearjerker.
The Transvestite Donkey Witch poo on South Park, I don't get. Maybe they offered her the McCarthy role in baseketball and she told them to golly off?
Watched last night, Harry still didn't make it :'( :'(
Such a classic movie
Release or chronologically? I've never actually watched the Norton Hulk. I think it got referenced in Avengers, Stark says he bought the bottom general's favorite bar and tore it down just for spite fun.
California rents are out of control and housing prices are ridiculous. You might as well be living in central London. So, many people are moving out of state to less expensive markets like Idaho and other similar places. They are driving the real estate costs up there, rendering themselves unwelcome.
About a decade ago, we managed to get together with the other tenants in our building and buy the place together. The value of our apartments has doubled in that time. There's no way in hell we could buy our place if it were on the market today. And we live in a modest 1 bedroom place. Rents in this area are now more than double what we paid initially as tenants. And there are no jobs to pay enough to support such costs. It's not surprising that people are opting to live in their cars.
Something in this country is really out of whack and I don't see the people the most affected doing anything but supporting the very party that is dedicated to making it worse. I shake my head in wonder at Trump's supporters. It's comical to think that this man, utterly devoid of any compassion or human sympathy, would have their backs or advance their interests in any way.
I was paying a mortgage in those days, and to add insult to injury I moved to the US for work. I couldn't afford to sell the house, as I would likely never have got back on the housing ladder. As it happened I got home five years later and the house was worth half what it had been. The market collapsed in the early 90s! The situation was precipitated by something called MIRAS* (or at least its reduction and then removal).
*Mortgage Interest Relief At Source: You used to get tax relief on the interest part of your mortgage, back in the day.
took the plunge and watched Zack Snyder Justice League cut.
For 4 + hours length it moved on pretty quickly.
Some parts could have been left out but enjoyed.
I started watching it one evening and about 1.5 hrs in checked and saw it was 4 hrs so finished it the next day. I enjoyed the character development but feel Marvel did it best, doing it in solo movies before releasing the Avengers movies.well apparently the Avengers / Marvel directors have gone over to DC to make their films more Marvel.
I struggle with movies (or stories, in fact) built around "the irresistible force meets immovable object" principle, as resolution isn't based on logic but on the director's (/author's) whim.
Every superhero story involves a superhero coming up against a super villain that is stronger, but for no apparent reason the hero beats the villain.
This actually means you're a poo boxer with no right...
This is correct. Rocky was a lefty.
I see so much of the Rocky syndrome in movies these days whereby you get the poo kicked out of you for 14 rounds, but just about manage to get one decent punch in during the 15th and win the fight.
If you pull it off, you aren't playing with mine.

Stick to "Long Kiss Goodnight", 8ully.Quality
Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
I found the entire movie unpleasant. Like when people say "It's a turn your brain off movie!" I can believe it with this one.
And it only gets worse from there.
...golly, I should have wrote that instead of this stupid essay.
I just watched Tenet. Very exciting, but I haven't got a clue what was happening, even though every twenty minutes or so the movie stops so someone can explain what is going on. The explanations make no sense, so that didn't really help.like yourself, loved the movie but the Time paradox thing ?????
"Time-wimey-wiggly, bad guy, horcruxes, SAVE THE WORLD!
The Ice Road. Loose story, Liam being Liam but was a ok film.
We found that the worst movie Liam has ever had the misfortune to find himself in. There were more continuity errors than you could shake a stick at.
So you have a go at me for watching Nobody without you, and then you watch a Liam film without me? Cannot believe this betrayal.

Back on topic, Nobody is a great film.
Hey, it was always going to crap from the get-go. We were just trying to separate the wheat from the chaff before you got home.

Mortal Kombat didnt even faze me, I knew it was gonna be poo.
Huh, the difference between faze and phase. That was an interesting read.

Typical Family Disney, either from a ride or will become a ride.
At all turns of the film you know what will happen, Fun for the famiy
I found that about 2 hours too long and virtually unwatchable. All 4 of us wanted to fast forward it just so it would end sooner.pure Disney ;D ;D

It's all weirdly similar, like how fanfic authors recycle their old poo. That Kate movie seems a lot like the assasin movie they already did with mads mikkelsen. (Criminal use of Richard Dreyfuss in that one, but it was funny.)
It was Polar. Actually looks like that one was more interesting than kate, and dropped sequel bait.
Still, 19% approval rating on polar, that's abysmal.
Watched Armageddon again. .Funny you posted that I watched that as well a few weeks back
Watched Edge of Tomorrow again. Looked familiar.
That's why I keep watching.;D ;D
M Night Shyamalan. It would be a surprise if it was what anyone expected!agree but even i was surprised at this ending and the moral high ground some may take. ???
I'll watch it when it reflects the complete book, but not until then.
then you will never watch it.
That would be a costly failure.
All Michael Crichton books make better movies than books, as I think he only writes them as seeds for screenplays.
Not necessarily. I've yet to find any movie adaptation of a book fully satisfying, with the exception of Shawshank Redemption.
Dune wouldn't appeal to a mass audience, and this film as per the first is a sort of "fan" film.
I will go to the pictures to watch but many wont even with the big stars. I do hope im wrong
What makes Dune great for me is also its biggest issue. Dune (the series of books) is set up for the long haul, to ask the question "what happens after the good guys win?", Dune (the first book) sets that up by having the good guys win. Dune the movie just establishes who the good guys are. Not enough to be worth the entrance fee for me. I would love for a AppleTV+ 100-part series of Dune á la Foundation, but until then I am prepared to wait for at least the first book to be completed (although I think he should go for the trilogy and make a third movie of Dune Messiah, as that makes a convenient place to stop).
I thought that it rang a bell. It was called "Welcome to the Jungle" on this side of the pond.
Isn't that a one-line summary of anything related to Downton Abbey?
The premise doesn't work for me. Harry Stamper would have saved us.
I fail to see how Hogwarts can be celebrated without Ms Rowling and I find her cancellation appalling; especially by these little tykes that owe everything to her.

The Kingsman 2021/22 Enjoyable as per the first 2
Thanks. I wrote it before I had caffeine. I must be getting old. These young un's all look alike to me after a while. :D
As far as I'm concerned, everyone is Stanley Tucci.
Against my better judgement I watched Dune Episode 1.
Looked good, thoroughly enjoyed it: but I have no idea how anyone that hasn't read the book will have had a clue what was going on.
I was tickled that there was a complaint from the middle eastern and northern African actors guild (or whatever it is called) complained that the fremen were too white/ black. Really?
I don't quite understand how a film set on a distant planet in the distant future is a film about Middle East culture.
Has anyone seen Aquaman? Is it worth the bother?
We recently watched The Godfather for the first time. Al Pacino is so young. It must have been groundbreaking.Thought that film was a must for anyone growing up.

It sounds like the kind of movie I'd watch on an airplane if I didn't have something more compelling to read.
I hope for your sake that is 2 minutes and 19 seconds.
Vesper 2022, A bit of a shock tbh, didn't know what to expect and it did surprised me.
We watched Vesper and while it was quite enjoyable, it did smack of one of those film that was openly seeking cult status.Wow that budget ?, Yep spot on with the cult thing
That may not be a hanging sin, I know, but it did feel like it could have been tidied up a bit considering its €5,000,000 budget.
The first one is epic. Not seen the second, as I don't want to tarnish my memory.
It's hard for me to watch Tom Cruise, despite the fact that he's been in several good movies: Risky Business, The Firm, Minority Report, Interview with the vampire, etc. He's also been in some crap films, but his antics with scientology, jumping on the couch on Oprah, etc. kind of put me off.
I wouldn't have watched "Triangle of Sadness" based solely on the poster.
I did watch "Amazing Maurice", though. And "The Great Escape".
.... I did watch "Amazing Maurice"
I'm absolutely sure that he would have hated it: I didn't enjoy it. But Pratchett was designed for the printed page, not for the screen. I thought the the "framing device" would be a clever way of dealing with footnotes. But it wasn't. (I hated "Good Omens" too)
Yup. It was blindingly obvious when "not-Pratchett" was plotting, and to add insult to injury I'm not really a Gaiman fan (he is too dark for my preference*), so his bits were like nails on a blackboard.
*Except Stardust, which is OK.
In general the problem with the TV/ Movie industry is that they all want to show how clever they are. Which is bad enough when they are, but becomes a real issue when they aren't (... and most of them aren't).
I watched the last Bond movie. I quite liked the easter eggs, but otherwise I thought it was by far the worst Craig Bond.
I am not sure that I approve of baddies driving Jaguars!
The fundamental underlying problems of democracy are:
a) voters are predominantly stupid, and
b) anti-democrats have the same voting capability as democrats.
Combine this with the fact that religion and democracy are fundamentally diametrical opposites. Religion is faith-based, and voting is reason-based (or at least that is by definition how they should be). Faith and reason are incompatible.
Apparently, they have a thriving industry of dental floss ranches.
Top Gun: Maverick. Not as ground breaking and innovative as Top Gun, obviously: and could be considered a little derivative (they stole half the plot from Star Wars, Dambusters, 633 squadron and half of the dialogue from the original), but it was an entertaining use of a couple of hours.love the flight scenes and of course it has Jennifer Connelly in it.
The bit that caught my eye was about woke reviewing. I tend to watch a movie on its merits, rather than considering all of the things it doesn't do, so I miss most of the "issues", but one that particularly bothers me is the concept of "blackface" (in all its myriad forms).
I see no earthly reason why an actor or actress (I have no truck with calling ladies "actors", either) can't act as something they are not, regardless of what that is. That is why it is called "acting". Young people should be able to play old people, and vice versa. People of any sexual persuasion should be able to play people of the same or different sexual persuasions. Abled can play disabled, and vice versa: actors/ actresses of a given race can (within bounds of credibility) play outside their birth race. This appears to be another of those things brought on by the politics of jealousy: gay folk are happy to play straight (and they expect to be allowed so to do, as that is evidently the majority of roles), but they have a visceral hatred of straight people playing gay. When I was younger there was a flood of women playing male roles, and blacks playing white roles, presumably in the interest of "diversity", but woe betide a white man taking on (e.g.) Othello. This philosophy seems to have taken ludicrous hold over the industry, to the extent that it is deemed inarguable.
I also have an issue with historical revisionism: history happened, get used to it. People's attitudes were formed by their environment and society: almost no folk in (e.g.) the 1700's had the same attitudes as today's people - but it is almost impossible to make a movie set in that period where the vast majority of the cast haven't got 21st century views (the exceptions being the bad guys, of course, who will be universally cleansed before the end of the movie). People are no longer allowed to view Fawlty Towers unreacted, for goodness sake.
What is possibly a little sad is that starting WWIII was only the McGuffin to hang a buddy movie on. But I thoroughly enjoyed all the set pieces, and the flying so I can happily ignore the warmongering.
... as an aside, I was mightily amused by Team America: World Police. This pokes fun at the tendency of American heroes to destroy pretty much everything - and kill pretty much everyone - in non-American countries as a by-product of the "policing" that the main characters feel empowered (required?) to do whilst being buddies (Like Godzilla does in the orient). It is difficult to see action movies (qv. Tom Cruise, James Bond) in the same light after that.
I watched a near 50-year old movie the other day about a rubber shark and three mad people that (eventually) kill it.
Quite tense.

Are you talking about this:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt23553310/
Michael Bay's audience appears to be the same as the last (and next?) President's: blue-collar, not-so-bright people that are convinced that everything is run by the illuminati/ freemasons/ space aliens/ deep state to the detriment of the average football fan and are equally convinced that they - with no skills or other confirmatory evidence - could do a much better job (of anything and everything) than the relevant so-called "experts" with their brains and fancy-dan educations.
For politics, I think the blue-collar crew may be right; but for science poo, I'm not so sure.
... but it is a helluva movie. Next time AJ gets it, fer shure.
Bay's Wikipedia entry is pretty entertaining. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bay (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bay)When required are such fun !
And I agree with the assessment of an audience that thinks there's no adverse situation that can't be cured by shooting it or blowing it up. I'm reminded of our former President's idea that we should nuke hurricanes. Sure. That should work.
I've heard people have and continue to shoot hurricanes/tornados.
It hasn't worked yet...
The police in Florida actually released an article telling people NOT to shoot at hurricanes.
I've heard people have and continue to shoot hurricanes/tornados.That sounds pretty routine for Florida, from what I've heard. What could possibly go wrong, really, aiming a small missile into a weather phenomenon that consists of rapidly cycling winds?

They evacuated everybody from the (Florida) Keys and everybody leaves except for one guy who’s gonna stay there and tie himself to a tree on the beach, to prove a point; and the point was, he said, that at 53 years of age, he was in good enough physical condition to withstand the wind and the rain of a force 3 hurricane. OK, let me explain something to ya: it isn’t that the wind is blowin’. It’s what the wind is blowin’. If you get hit with a Volvo, it doesn’t really matter how many sit-ups you did that morning. If you have a "Yield" sign in your spleen, joggin' don't really come into play. "I can run 25 miles without stopping." "You're bleedin'." "poo!"
I'm not sure that Goose's wife is right for Mulder.
I only get to watch movies with my wife nowadays, never the star of the movie!
I still think he peaked with "Cheers".
We really enjoyed S1 of True Detective, but were so warned off re S2 that we never even bothered.
I think that Moonraker is actually a biography of Elon Musk. They obviously changed his name (although not by much!) to Hugo Drax to avoid getting sued.The one redeeming character in Moonraker is Jaws. He eventually finds romance. I confess that I generally enjoy those films. Maybe because I initially saw them with my father and it was just mindless fun.
But that's diamonds are forever, not moonraker.
So you're saying musk is more of a blofield. I could see that.
I was going to make a joke about how Moore's bond ought to have scooped up those diamonds on the way back to earth, but the movie actually accounts for that! Bond is otherwise occupied up to "reentry" as Q put things.
Just wrapped up Octopussy, and much like FYE, it is far too long a movie. Oddly enough, I was under the misconception that kitty Galore would be a returning bond girl in this one. Nope, wrong... bond girl.
Onward!
Funny you mention A View To A Kill, that's next!
Are you referring to Contagion?
It's more prescient than a documentary.
Filmed in 2011, unless you are referring to something else.

How was it? Sounds like it might be decent with that cast.
They. Cut. The. Battle. Pug.
Dune 2.
I read a film review post about above film on a sadbook, and a person stated in the posts that
"it wasn't culturally represented" with the choice of actors.
The replies were funny.
They again defended their post stating that as the author drew his storyline from "the middle east" they should have been more representation from that area and religion (never read the books, so assuming that the religion was Islamic).
I left it there as it went from funnily interesting to not.
