Movie review thread...
-
[quote name='Razbra']I agree he was fine. thought this movie was good, not great but good.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Was certainly an improvement on the AVP movies and going back further alot better than Predator 2.<br />
<br />
Adrian Brody is a strange choice for an action lead, started with King Kong and i wasnt sure if he was suited for that role either. -
Watched anime series/movie Afro Samurai & Afro Samurai 2: Resurrection. Samuel L. Jackson voices the Afro Samurai. Fucken brilliant. 9/10.

[quote name='Sneakdefreak']Watched it over the weekend. Didn't get why all the Gods looked like members of some 80s glam rock band. 5/10<br />
<br />
Worthington was bad in what should have been a fun movie. All Aussie actors seem to think they're tough if they talk in a deep, husky voice.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
He he, yeah that was just shit. My idea of Zeus is certainly not Liam Neesen. The guy playing Poseiden looked particularly ridiculous. <br />
<br />
Worthington is one of the luckiest farkers on the planet. Most of the Australians that make it big in Hollywood are genuine talents but he certainly bucks the trend. -
Two movies that are relatively new - are quite similar.<br />
<br />
A-Team and Losers.<br />
<br />
A-Team - not a bad remake of the original. Thought they did pretty well with getting characters to match the originals. Not a bad movie as far as corny action movies go.<br />
Losers, follows a pretty similar story. Ex CIA operatives who have been framed, fight back to clear their name. Not as many stars as the A-Team, but I probably enjoyed this one more.<br />
<br />
Both worth a watch. -
The Experiement - Adrian Brody, Forrest Whitaker<br />
<br />
Dude loses his job and meets hot girl. she is off to India for enlightenment, he answers an ad for an experiment to be put into a controlled Prison environment for 14 days @ $1,000 per day. <br />
<br />
6.5/10 -

This is a remake. The original was pretty bloody good. Better than 6.5/10 IMO. Haven't seen this version but if you don't mind subtitles you should give the original a watch. -
will have a look fo rit...watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, am sure I can handle another subtitled flick...speaking if them, anyone seen 'The Secret is in thier eyes' is an Argentine Thriller, won best foreign film at the Academy's this year, keep thinking I should hunt it out at the dvd shop!

It's a bit hard in the A Team to compare the two, The Losers gets an automatic extra point just for having Stringer Bell in the cast (idris Elba). -

WTF, am I reading that correctly? You haven't watched The Wire? Go to church say a thousand hail mary's and a thousand how's your fathers.<br />
Go to DVD sore, online, Tivo,whatever and watch the bloody show.<br />
<br />
Your quality of life will have improved immensely.<br />
<br />
Ps: I've seen the first ep of Luther on an AirNZ plane. It was goodish. -

Do watch it (it's very, very good), but feel free to skip the final season. -
[quote name='Tim']Do watch it (it's very, very good), but feel free to skip the final season.[/QUOTE]<br />
Nah, you have to watch the final season, just compare it with Sopranos and Mad Men, not with the 4 previous seasons. In fact just remove one of the subplots and it's back up to the same level. -
[quote name='Bones']Think I watched the 1st episode, then got distracted by Generation Kill and never got back to it!<br />
<br />
As it happens, the Church has moved around the corner to Clapham...[/QUOTE]<br />
Generation kill occupies that one wrung just below The Wire. The key with it is that you have to concentrate. -
The Last Airbender - visually this was pretty cool, some cool effects. Story and acting was so-so, not sure I'll bother with the next movies when they come out.
