Movie review thread...
-
<p>watched Dredd last night. it was ok, plenty violent, too much slow-motion shit in it though (yes yes i know, i mean aside from the obvious bits). Lena Headey picked the wrong movie to try the oscar-bait "hot chick made to look ugly" role. </p>

<p>Hobbit, one of the most disappointing movies I have seen this year.<br><br>
Added in unnecessary crap (Elf/dwarf love triangle WTF), minimized The Murkwood journey and also. Beorn's character.<br><br>
Mind you, Smaug was shit hot!</p>

<p>Pretty much how I found it. I actually enjoyed the 1st movie more. The Elf/Dwarf love thing is fu*ken ridiculous. I also didn't picture Beorn looking like they had in the movie. He's supposed to be a bear of a man, not some lean Scandinavian. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Agree about the dragon. I never expected it to look that good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't believe Jackson and co should've made these movies. Would have been better to get new blood on the project I reckon.</p> -

<p>Gimli seemed kinda infatuated with Galadriel in the last series, and unless I'm mistaken, Aragorn hooked up with Arwen, so there's a lot of inter-species perversion going on in Middle Earth.</p> -

<p>Wasn't that actually the plan? Jackson didn't want to compete with his own LOTR legacy, hence the directing initially going to del Toro before constant delays saw him leave?</p> -

<p>It was totally the plan. And without Jackson & Weta, it likely wouldn't have gotten made. When del Toro departed, the entire project was in limbo, and managers of actors would not commit to the project without a director. Jackson accepted the position to ensure the project didn't collapse. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Btw, have you seen the Smaug design artwork that was going to be del Toro's version? </p>

<p>That's a dragon?!</p> -
<p>Special Forces; Diane Kruger and Djimon Hounsou</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoyed this, it would be classed as a foreign film with it needing subtitles for most of the film unless you are fluent in French</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kruger is a war reporter who gets kidnapped in Pakistan, cue the Special Forces head in to rescue...seemed to be some realistic scenes along with some usual BS ones</p> -
<p>you had me at "Diane Kruger"</p>
-
<p>I watched Runner Runner last night. It wasn't very good. Has some Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck in it and a story about an online gambling mogul/crook - I actually like both actors and they weren't the problem with it. The story was just shit. The tension just didn't feel real.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>M4L - no boobies on display but the actress in it was Gemma Arterton who is fairly attractive.</p> -
<p>Gemma Arterton is hot, but has the acting ability of a bench top</p>
-
<p>Rachel Weisz is fucking hot. I would cut off two fingers of my left hand for 10 naked minutes</p>

<p>Rachel Weisz got hotter as she got older .... I didn't think much of her until I saw The Constant Gardener, which since this is a movie thread I thought was a disappointing movie but I had just read the book.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now, M4L, I hope you mean real life naked minutes and not movie minutes, because I'm pretty sure she was naked in Stealing Beauty and I don't want you to lose some fingers. </p> -
<p>yea, real naked minutes. she's nude in a movie? I was happy when I saw her arse in "Enemy at the Gates"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>to google, and one-handed browsing...</p> -
Plenty of actresses could see their careers sky rocket by getting nude...I'm looking at you Ms Beckinsale

<p>I think mariner may be busy for a while she's been naked lots according to google images.<br><br>
Rachel McAdams stop being so selfish and follow ms Weisz example please</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p>A little bit of googling finds that Ms McAdams went topless in a flick called - My Name is Tanino. She is very pale.</p>
