Movie review thread...
-
Watched the Avengers last night.<br />
<br />
Loved the hulk. Especially the "puny god" bit. Thor "he's adopted" bit was also very funny. This movie didn't take it's self at all seriously and that worked really well.<br />
<br />
Captain America is probably the most boring character and that was a follow on from a not bad but still kind of boring character introduction film last year. <br />
<br />
Hawkeye was probably my next favourite.<br />
<br />
Loki was a great villain too.<br />
<br />
Also watched Battleship<br />
<br />
Not great but loud, action packed pop corn movie. More right with it than wrong. Just don't compare it to the game. -

Just when I've started to think you might have something worthwhile to say in most of your posts it all comes crashing down.<br />

Yeah I got bitch slapped at work for that as well. In my defense I was watching from the kitchen while cooking for guests. My kids loved it and what I saw looked good. -
Battleship is what you expect it to be....

Farking funny movie - random characters, fart and swearing jokes, Seth McFarlane funny as ever.<br />
<br />
Either your immature or your not when it comes to comedy. I'm very immature, and thus a big fan!<br />

I assume you have to watch the unedited version? I have seen trailers that seem to have been heavily adjusted for the prudish market. -

I saw a brief making of clip for that film. They were filming a scene in which they rival national navies were playing a soccer tournament. But this was no ordinary soccer tournament, it was hard core fighting soccer in which only the toughest prevailed. That was enough to convince me to never watch that film.<br />
<br />
Madagaskar 3: Hopefully the last. Jumped the shark/nuked the fridge in a big way.<br />
<br />
Headhunters: Not bad for a Norwegian flick but that hiding in the outdoor shitter scene was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. -
This is a real movie from 1987.<br />

THE LOST '80s MASTERPIECE OF TAEKWONDO ANTI-SANITY RETURNS TO THEATERS THIS NOV<br />
Tickets and theater listings here: http://bit.ly/RUdrOr<br />
<br />
The year is 1987. Motorcycle ninjas tighten their grip on Florida's narcotics trade, viciously annihilating anyone who dares move in on their turf. Multi-national martial arts rock band Dragon Sound have had enough, and embark on a roundhouse wreck-wave of crime-crushing justice. When not chasing beach bunnies or performing their hit song "Against the Ninja," Mark (kung-fu master/inspirational speaker Y.K. Kim) and the boys are kicking and chopping at the drug world's smelliest underbelly. It'll take every ounce of their blood and courage, but Dragon Sound can't stop until they've completely destroyed the dealers, the drunk bikers, the kill-crazy ninjas, the middle-aged thugs, the "stupid cocaine"...and the entire MIAMI CONNECTION!!![/quote] -

<br />
Really enjoyed this (I am a huge fan of Paul Schrader though). Interesting and engaging atmosphere, superb cinematography, art direction, and sound. The central plot is of course ridiculous, but an interesting and "fun" film was made regardless. A hint of mystical giallo to it, but none of the gaping plot holes. The editing was a little jarring at times, but the mood carried it through this. There's some good gore FX, but it's pretty restrained by today's standards. A 21 yo Nastassja Kinski looked just the part, especially when naked and killing a rabbit. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /><br />
<br />
I should add that this was a 720p rip from the HD-DVD release. It looked wonderful.<br />
<br />
7.5/10 -

Ha I watched about 20 min of this 2 nights ago. No word of a lie. I was watching it on NZs bastardised version of Netflix. -
That Miami Connection looks like utter shit , therefore I think I simply must watch it . Looks like a trip to Alice In Videoland is coming up .

Watched The Cabin in the Woods last night, seems your usual teen slasher bore fest until u see guys in an office type set up manipulating the teens throughout the film. Can't say much else without giving it away but thoroughly enjoyable watch especially the last 20 mins or so when it all turns to shit some great moments of gore and laughs too

Ha! Classic. It's worth sticking with dude. Did you see the guy get his arm ripped out of socket?<br />

<br />
I seem to have missed this part. I'm going to sit down and watch it tonight. -

Just watched it. Mrs Luigi turned to me at the end and said: "Well, what a load of shit" but I liked it. Classic Whedon, taking all the horror cliches and turning them on their head. -
I loved it, so many laugh out moments. The killer Unicorn was a great touch.<br />
Only down side is its a tough film to describe to people without giving it away.<br />
<br />
Another film i caught last weekend from Prometheus..not really sure where to start on why it let me down so much... -
Hangover 2: Some good laughs but otherwise pretty cråp. Pretty much the first film but in Thailand.<br />
<br />
I hope they make a new film but with new writers and freshen it up a bit. As ordinary as the film was, those guys really work well together.
