Movie review thread...
-
Watched Salt (Bourne Identity with a chick instead of F.A.G. member Matt Damon) and Prince of Persia (Pirates of the Caribbean with "Persians" who had English accents instead of pirates) this weekend. Both pretty meh. Mindless entertainment. But too formulaic/predictable for Salt, and not enough killing/blood/splatter Gladiator style for POP (it is a Disney movie after all). Watch to relieve boredom, but don't expect too much.

In my (juvenile) state, I can't say Matt Damon. I always say his name using the TA:WP Matt Damon voice. Mmmaattt Damonnnn.<br />

Just saw The Expendables. It's awesome in its b-grade awesome-ness!!! Muscles, terrible dialogue, big guns, lots of dead South American soldiers, non-shot good guys. All the ingredients are there, it doesn't pretend to be anything other than a homage to the movies that made them all famous. It's fucking cool and i loved it.

[quote name='red terror']The slo-mo-ish slam-dunk where he plants his dagger into Australian wrestling flameout Nathan Jones was kinda cool.<br />

Yeah I have to say the fights were very cool. With more of that + more of Kruger and less of Pitt and O'Toole the film could have been much more enjoyable. -
watched "The Bank Job" last night and would highly recommend to those of you who enjoyed the likes of Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels. It's a yarn about a Bank robbery that is successful far beyond the imagination of the robbers, with lots of plot twists and a layer of laughs for good measure

not to mention based on a true event....

Disengage Brain. Try not to pick holes in Worthington's "acting". Ogle hot chick. Enjoy fun mytholigical adventure movie.

[quote name='MN5']Gonna get out 'Clash of the Titans' tonight after missing it at the movies. [B]Can anyone give me a quick review[/B] ? my mates opinions have been a bit of a mixed bag.....[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Shit.<br />
<br />
Just a flat movie to be honest, 5 mins after you finished watching it you forget it.<br />
The Original is much better (from my 10 year old at the time self!) -
I'd say disappointing was my reaction, so wanted it to be awesome....

Cheers men. As the wife is going out drinking tomorrow night for the first time in a million years i'll get it then and report back. M4Ls review is the most promising and don't worry, I didn't try to pick holes in his "acting" in the latest Terminator either ! -

This. Big time. A couple of hours I'd rather have back unfortunately. -
Piranha (3D). Boobs, asses, more boobs and some of the goriest carnage I have seen in the movies in a long time. Better than I had any right to expect. 8/10

I watched "Taken" for about the 4th or 5th time last night (its one of those movies that whenever it is on, i feel compelled to watch it). Liam Neeson is a fucking bad ass. So violent, it's great fun, in a dark, desperate vengeance sort of way.

Big fan of this film, it should be shit but it really isn't. Good throw back to 80s style of films, but with a bloody good actor. -

<br />
With [I][B]Piranha 3D[/B][/I] already in line to get a sequel, [COLOR=red][B]it's time to admit that penis-severing is the special effect of the year[/B].[/COLOR] But the [B][COLOR=red]now-[/COLOR][COLOR=red]infamous piranha cock-chomp[/COLOR][/B] wasn't the first. Let's contemplate its forerunners, shall we?<br />
<br />
I said this was NSFW, but it's a lot more that that. You will probably go insane if you watch all of these videos. You might need to take tomorrow off to recover. Don't say I didn't warn you.<br />

<br />
[COLOR=red]Those of you lucky enough to see this movie already know that its penis-chomping scene is one of the best[/COLOR]. When a coke-snorting pornographer falls in the piranha-infested Lake Victoria, his favorite body part becomes fish food. In fact, two piranha fight over it - so [COLOR=red]we get [B]the full 3D chomper effect[/B], especially when one of the fish burps out the remains [B]right into your face[/B].[/COLOR]<br />

You can watch penis-decapitating scenes from that entire list here:<br />

I watched a movie call "After life" a couple of nights ago. Interesting film with Christina Ricci and Liam Neeson in it. Good plot, decent acting and Ricci spends about half the film (seriously about half of it) wandering around topless. Definitely worth a watch
