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.

First was great. 2nd was awesome. Third was a turd.

Nepia

Watch these three over the last few nights:
 
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.
 
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. 
 
Rush: Really enjoyed this and helps that I had little idea who Hunt was. I thought that Bruhl who played Lada was brilliant.

Luigi

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

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 .

Bones

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. 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 .

Bones

Brilliant cameo by Channing Tatum too.

Haha, I thought that was very average! But that kind of humour needs 2 things IMO;
1 - to like that kind of humour (I do usually)
2 - be in the right mood (probably wasnt....)

I loved this film, perfect send up of their celebrity images, great cameos.

taniwharugby

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!
 
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.
 
Seems to me alot of the story is based on some dumb decisions by the main character (Redford)
 
It was surprisngly decent though!

Sudden Death was on TV4/C4/Four a few nights back. Ice hockey + terrorists + JCVD = gold.

I thought they blew McBride, they just let him be his usual 'character' where I reckon they could have got great mileage out of him being straight laced.

I thought 'This is the End' was a great example of a film that had a good concept and a pretty decent ending, but just got lost for about 45 minutes in the middle. First 15 minutes is hilarious though.

I quite liked him being the social reject who thought he was popular and then found he wasn't which probably led to him being the head of that gang . 
That was pretty brave of Channing Tatum too, did not expect that ,

Which to me is every Danny McBride role. I definitely think my idea is the best ... if only they'd have consulted me first. ;)
 
Tatum seems like a good bloke, I think he was heading for a Paul Walker style career/rating of his acting but then he met Sodenbergh and it seems he's more Clooney/Damon than Walker.

Bones

I didn't know McBride was in it, but when his 'entrance' started I said to the missus that I hoped it was him. I thought he was brilliant in his usual role.

Luigi

This has all sorts of awesomeness written all over it.

Homefront - Jason Statham, James Franco, a rough Katie Boswell and winona Ryder. Statham is an ex DEA agent who has gone into hiding after being undercover in a MC gang. Starts a bit slow but otherwise what i expected and a decent watch. 
Hunger Games 2 - enjoyed it more than #1 and even looking forward to the next one

Stockcar86

Amazing invention, but how can you identify woodwork teachers at school if not through counting their fingers (8 or less)?
