Movie review thread...
-
<p>Was going to check out Don Jon. I have Julianne Moore in the same category as Tilda Swinton, i.e. terrifying to imagine waking up next to. Tony Danza play the dad doesn't he?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Butler is boring, Oprah character is an unlikable cow and for some reason they completely missed out the most decent president of his time in the White house -Carter .</p> -
<p>oh yeah, Tony Danza was in it, didnt recognise him initially either</p>

The Rapture was shot in the 90's..<br><br>
Watched Pain and Gain. Apparently Michael Bays best work. There are some things I liked, Tony Shaloub was fantastic as the hate able victim you'd love to fuck over yourself. The Rock is excellent, channelling but toning down so it actuall worked this time his character from Southland Tales. When he's coked up its incredibly believable....probably because he full to the gills of roids.<br><br>
Everyone else, star Mark Wahlberg included, are just there, in the background. Not really adding much else but going through the motions.<br><br>
Michael Bay is a horrible director. It was really just Bad Boys without Will and Martin and Tranformers with Robots. Thankful for the unearthing of Bar Paly...look her up!<br><br>
5/10 -

I never got the point of southland tales, should give it another go I guess.<br><br>
There are two bars worth checking out Bar Paly and Bar Rafaeli -
<p>I watched "Lawrence of Arabia" again last night. Best of the "epics" i reckon, a stunning movie. </p>
-
<p>watched Gravity last night, was keen as I'd heard some good reviews, but was left a bit disappointed, although TBH, I think a movie like that was as good as it was ever gonna be.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One thing that had me a little confused;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]The scene where where Clooney floated off, when they were attached by the tether, in space once you 'stop' or arent you basically motionless'or once you start in one direction you just keep going, with no force (like gravity) pulling him away or slowing you? [/spoiler]</p> -

<br />
Check out The Massage, basically spends the entire movie with them out and they are an impressive sight<br />
Why do you think Tom Cruise married her? -

<p>They were never really motionless, they were always travelling in some direction even when attached to satellites (that were also moving).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I thought that was a great film, about as good as you can do that idea.</p> -
<p>but if they were travelling with the satellite, the motion going with the satellite and no force pulling the other way?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dunno, that scene just didnt seem right...? (cos I am a Rocket Scientist and all...:) )</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On TV...I agree, it was as good as they could have done with the idea, not that I didnt like it, more a solid 6/10 for me.</p> -

A willingness to stay tight lipped and doesn't mind being sent out of the room when Toms is having his important meetings with his fellow Scientologist male friends. You know going over scripts and shit... -

<p>Have a read through that when you're bored at work. I'm not sure of the guys accuracy though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]The next big physics gaffe is when George Clooneyâ€
s character has to let go to let Sandra Bullockâ€s character live. The idea is that their joint momentum is too much for the parachute lines sheâ€s got her foot in. The formula for (linear) momentum is just mass times velocity, so it is true that the two of them together have roughly twice the momentum that one of them would have. But as shown in the film, she seems to have already pulled the parachute lines taut and stopped their joint forward velocity. There is really no reason to let go at that point. But this is a case where we canâ€t get too nitpicky. Clearly, you can imagine what they were going for, even if it wasnâ€t perfectly achieved in the visuals. And the characters have to have some time to say their goodbyes. So we have to allow a little dramatic license.<br>

Actually, she was the one who introduced him to Scientology. -

Now I never said she didn't. I did actually know this too. But who grabbed the bull by the horns.
