Movie review thread...

@Tim Mr Brooks I thought struggled as it was made in such a way that it didn't define it's genre. It's sort of a hybrid arty/thriller movie. Which mean it didn't quite excel as either. Don't get me wrong, great flick, but I don't think it really reached it's potential as a story.
-
@MajorRage I thought it was pretty ridiculous/silly, but it was entertaining as hell. I was cracking up at Demi Moore as millionaire cop etc, but it was some of the most fun I've had watching a movie.
Worked out OK as a thriller (in its own way) too.

A Good Day To Die Hard
In summary: ridiculousness.
In detail: much better when there was no dialogue excluding any line containing the word "motherfucker".
So explosions. Many death. Much crashes.
3 yippe-kai-yays out of 5
I'm not too keen on the original Die Hard so can safely say there's absolutely zero chance I'll be watching this. I found Bruce Willis a bit of a joke as an action hero which is odd considering he's one of the best things in Pulp Fiction in my opinion.

It has Diane Lane in it, so automatically gets +1 on the whatever out of 5 MILFs scale you use.
Winslets or Hayeks?

Well no but she likes to get naked on screen and she is a milf. I'm thinking Vergaras is probably a good unit of measure.

Cranked out some old-school Keanu over the weekend. If you had to choose between one of Point Break or Speed for having survived the passage of time which would you choose?
Point Break - dated horribly. Keanu cannot act at all, he's truly awful. The story and Swayze are as good as they always have been, but this movie really doesn't feel like it's standing the test of time. It's still a classic though, so it' gets 3 bra's out of 5 ex-presidents.
Speed - Bullock is annoying, but there is solid action from the get go and it never lets up. Keanu plays the hero a bit better too, having matured a bit. And Hopper is a great baddie. I'd probably give it a 3 if was released today, but given it's 22 years old, it's a solid 4.5 saggy Sandra Bullock Tits out of 5 shitty Keanu lines.

Watched the original Jurrasic Park with the boy in the weekend. Wasn't sure if it'd scare him or not (it scared me when I watched it as a kid) but he loved it, got really excited when the T-Rex was trying to eat the kids in the car... perhaps he is too young to fully understand how truly terrifying that scene is.
Still a great movie, very watchable. I was obsessed with it as a kid, had all the merchandise and collected every single one of those cards. Pity the 2nd and 3rd were cake, thankfully the 4th was fucking awesome.

watched three movies over the weekend
Inspired by Nepia, I watched Godfather 1 & 2, will watch 3 sometime this week. Still great movies, full of style and violenceAlso watched Student Services a French movie on SBS on demand (showed up as one of the popular picks) about a young woman who turns to "alternative" means to fund her education. Lets say it was a gripping movie to watch.

I'm on annual leave. Yesterday was spent at a dance championships thing supporting Miss The Aussie - it was 12 fucking hours of mind-numbing shit interspersed with wondering if attractive dance instructor(s) from some other school(s) had legal status or not, and whether I was concealing my unabashed admiration suitably. And whether Mrs TA was in line of sight.
The boy and I were permitted to ditch that shit today, and got to hang out. Its 9PM and the chicks are still on their way home.
So in the grand tradition of dudeness, it was cheese toasties for dinner (Mainland Colby you'll note), followed by a movie.
X-Men Apocalypse was no longer available for rent on Google Play, so fuck those guys.
WarCraft: The Beginning
I found this pretty entertaining to sit down and watch with a 12yo who, like his old man, digs the sword and sorcery gear.
I'm a fan of Travis Fimmel, and the CGI was pretty fucking good. Haven't played Warcraft since the original so didn't have any hangups about the story line or other shit. Things went boom. Skulls were crushed. That's all I need.
3.5 out of 5 tragic deaths.

I guess it's more awkward for me attending those events than you seeing as I don't have any kids.
