Movie review thread...
-
I too saw Jack Reacher. Thought it was OK. My big problem is that I'm just bored watching Tom Cruise. It's the just all the same stuff. The way he walks, stands, looks - seen it so many times.<br />
<br />
The book is much better than this, particularly the denouement. I couldn't understand why they hadn't gone with the setup in the novel. It's way better. Bit of a miss really. Nepia: the literary Jack Reacher is a lot tougher. -
I thought Liam Neeson might be a good fit for Reacher but he might be a bit on the old side . Liev Schreiber would be my first choice,I can picture that guy being Reacher a lot easier than Cruise.Not that I didn't enjoy Reacher and Rosamund Pike especially.<br />
After reading the books there's no way I can see the Rock doing it.<br />
<br />
Btw if anyone else here has read the Shipping News do you reckon Neeson would have been a better choice than Spacey? Quoyle was described in the book as a huge shambling oaf of a man , Spacey was a fucking awful fit. -
Iron Man 3 - loved the whole fighty, techy gee-whizz bangy swagger of the whole thing.<br />
<br />
But left the cinema muttering: "leave it, leave it, don't think about it too much."<br />
<br />
Because you shouldn't watch a movie like this and think about it too much. It's not healthy. Sure there are a lot of things that will boil your piss if you dwell - the thing with the kid for instance, or how helicopters can get close enough to a billionaire industrialist and former munitions magnate's cliff-top home to loose of a storm of rockets - but you don't need to do this. Just settle in and watch RDJ do his thing.<br />
<br />
But the absolute best thing is Ben Kingsley. This is worth watching the movie for alone. I'll say no more, but trust me on this, the Mandarin is sensational. -
Watched Chernobyl Diaries which was like The Hills have eyes set in Chernobyl.<br />
<br />
My Brother the Devil - a film festival type film, was fine, nothing special about it, but decent enough film. -

Saw Chernobyl Diaries while back could have been not half bad but was boring in the end.<br />
Caught Sinister last weekend, with Ethan Hawke wasn't bad solid 7/10 had a few decent freak the shit out of u moments. -
Watched Oblivion. It looked great, but the story was confusing. I think there might have been some sort of Illuminati subtext, but I don't want to think too hard about it. Those drones look scary!

What. The. Fuck. I was flicking through channels last night having been bored shitless by the first half hour of the "Total Recall" remake (no amount of hot chicks was saving that turd) and went past World Movies on the way to the sports channels. The first thing i see is Willem Defoe's hard cock smashing into his wife (and i mean his actual hard cock. and balls. screen size. on a 42" plasma). "a bit different" i thought as i looked over the shoulder to make sure the wife wasn't watching. While all sorts of dramatic music played, The Green Goblin fed it to his on-screen wife. Then their toddler got out of bed, and watched them, and then fell out a 2nd story window. I pretty much got as far as that before it got canned. Called "Antichrist" i believe, apparently won some sort of award. Movie people are weird. Who makes this shit? And more to the point, who actually enjoys it? Freaks.<br />
<br />
(Edit: Ok, i just IMDB'ed this fucking thing. Goddam am i happy i turned it off. The bloke that made this is one sick motherfucker.)<br />
<br />
On the plane last week i watched "Warm Bodies" that zombie movie where they start to come back to life, because one gets the hots for a chick. It's pretty fucking amusing actually, i enjoyed it. -
Watched Resident Evil: Retribution in the weekend...<br />
<br />
Shit.<br />
<br />
Utter shit.<br />
<br />

The mrs went away and I let my son choose the dvd for saturday night.<br />
He chose Nazis at the centre of the earth , this epic tale of Zombie Nazis living under Antarctica was criminally overlooked by the academy. Apparently shot on a budget of $200000 we lasted about 20 minutes before my son told me it was and I quote "frickin crap dad" and we turned it off.<br />

M4life, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antichrist_(film) looks like a good one to chuck on to clear out the guests after a party. -

from the IMDP plot synopsis of "Antichrist"<br />
<br />
[i]"She attacks her husband mid-coitus in the shed, crushing his genitals with a block of wood. While He is unconscious, She masturbates him until he orgasms, ejaculating blood onto her shirt and face"[/i]<br />

See it has something for everyone! I give this film two severed genitals up -

Who takes those acting jobs on and thinks " this will be good for my career"?<br />

What's worse is the some fuckwit probably thinks its art.<br />

Bizarrely this is also in the wiki article <br />

According to Von Trier, Green was positive about appearing in the film, but her agents refused to allow her. The unsuccessful casting attempt took two months of the pre-production process. Eventually Gainsbourg turned up, and by Von Trier's words she was very eager to get cast: "Charlotte came in and said, 'I'm dying to get the part no matter what.' So I think it was a decision she made very early and she stuck to it. We had no problems whatsoever."[/size][/font][/color][sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antichrist_(film)#cite_note-9"][[/url][/sup][/quote]<br />

4 minutes included "cleanup time" then? Right after you saw Little Willem and his Arabian Goggles make an appearance... -
handy tips. Clean up times can be significantly reduced by using a drop sheet.<br />
<br />
and according to wiki, it wasn't Sgt Elias' cock, they had a stunt cock -
To try and get this thread back on track I'll discuss a movie without genital mutilation ....<br />
<br />
Robot and Frank.<br />
<br />
Set in the near future, Frank is an old fulla who has Alzheimers or dementia and his son gets him a robot to help care for him. I'd advise you not to watch the trailer as it gives away the whole movie.<br />
<br />
Was pretty good, funny in parts and Frank is played by Frank Langhella. Liv Tyler was in it as well, not sure the last movie I can remember seeing her in.
