Centurion - Fassbender, Olga Kurylenko, that Davos guy from GoT and Dominic West among others.
Good flick, though personally once I went across the river to kill some Picts who were chasing me I would have stolen/killed their horses as well. Stupid Eyeties
Edit: no tits from Kurylenko which must have pissed off her agent as I'm sure nudity is a contract requirement.
-
<p>she is ridiculously hot that Kurylenko. her best work is surely "The Ring Finger" (thank you World Movies)</p>

The Matrix is on. Fuck The Matrix is awesome. The Matrix is without a doubt my favorite movie ever.

<p>actually i quite like "Reloaded" it has some unreal sequences in it, and the storyline is still pretty cool (plus Monica Belucci). Revolutions was a let down though. Was always going to be hard to follow that first movie though, expectations were set. </p>

<p>Thanks for putting that one on my radar Tim.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In addition, I saw bits of the relatively new crime flick <strong>Mystery Road </strong>(another Aussie thing) the other night. Looks decent.</p>

<p>Was ok, just didnt really get going until the very end and story line was pretty simple, while also showing a glimpse of the darker side of life in the Outback towns? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also watched Apocolypse Now (extended version >3 hours) a week or so back (over a couple of nights) and it stands up pretty well, barely recognised Harrison Ford in his brief scene!</p> -
<p>Dallas Buyers Club - as with other comments, a pretty harrowing story, but McConaughey was pretty good in this. Amazing to think the lengths these actors do go to for some roles, and the effects are there to be seen in True Detective. Quite an eye-opener being reminded of the prejudices that were about over HIV when it became widespread and then how the FDA and I expect other similar agencies in other countries acted possibly irresponsibly (naively?) in regard to the drugs*, and I expect it probably still happens.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>*I realise the movie may have exaggerated it, but I dont believe for a minute that stuff like that doesnt go on.</p> -

<p>The Crash Reel. Very much worth a watch. A documentary about Kevin Pearce, one of the best snow boarders in the world who was set to challenge Shaun White at the 2010 Olympics. He suffered a traumatic brain injury training before the games, and the film is about his comeback from the accident. Riveting, and very hard to watch at times.</p> -

<p>First was great. 2nd was awesome. Third was a turd.</p> -
<p>Watch these three over the last few nights:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thor 2: Well, I hope that the next Avengers is awesome or this might be it for Superhero movies for me after I found Superman to be pretty poor as well. There was nothing wrong with Thor I just didn't find it interesting.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Family: De Niro and Michelle Pfieffer and their 2 kids are in France as part of witness protection. Tommy Lee Jones is their head of protection. I thought it was quite a good movie although it had a weird tone, part comedy, part thriller and part action film. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rush: Really enjoyed this and helps that I had little idea who Hunt was. I thought that Bruhl who played Lada was brilliant.</p> -

<p>That sounds pretty cool. Will have to check it out.</p> -

<p>Yes Nepia, watched Rush last night and really enjoyed it, even though I think the rivalry was a little overblown.</p>

<p>If wikipedia is to be believed they actually flatted together and were friends as they came up through the different grades, personally I thought that might have made for an interesting movie .</p> -
This Is The End. Rogen, Hill, McBride, etc all playing themselves in LA just as an apocalypse hits. Thought it was fucken hilarious. I had pretty low expectations though. <br /><br />Keep an eye out for the great scene that includes the line "tears from the end of my dick".

That was hilarious and "dude , I'm a freaking cannibal" and "something happened last night and it wasn't cool" were standout scenes for me too . -
<p>Haha, I thought that was <strong>very</strong> average! But that kind of humour needs 2 things IMO;</p>
<p>1 - to like that kind of humour (I do usually)</p>
<p>2 - be in the right mood (probably wasnt....)</p> -

<p>I loved this film, perfect send up of their celebrity images, great cameos. </p> -
<p>All is lost - cant recall the entire cast for the movie, oh wait I can, it was Robert Redford, and if I thought long enough, I could probably remember the entire dialogue from the movie!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For some reason I thought it was based on a true story...anywhoo, Robert Redford on a sail boat in the middle of the Indian Ocean and his boat is hit by a floating container.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Seems to me alot of the story is based on some dumb decisions by the main character (Redford)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was surprisngly decent though!</p>
