Movie review thread...
-
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.<br><br>
Hunger Games 2 - enjoyed it more than #1 and even looking forward to the next one -
<p>Amazing invention, but how can you identify woodwork teachers at school if not through counting their fingers (8 or less)?</p>

<p>It munts the machine a fair bit when you do end up with your finger in the blade and it clamps everything up. You'd think they'd be way more popular than they are though.</p>
<p>Is this on the right thread btw?</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>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>

<p>I didnt think Redford did that much wrong actually. Found it a pretty good exposition on man's determination to survive. Obviously they had to take dramatic licences otherwise it would have been a 2 minute film. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yacht hits container EPIRB is activated Yachtie is rescued tout fucking sweet isn't much of a narrative after all. Other than that having been in a couple of big blows I found it a bit too close to the bone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>End was a fucking cop out though. Old guy battles pointlessly to live one week would have been much more satisfying.</p> -

<p>I guess with no dialogue it is tough to know what he has or hasnt done, but like most events that lead to something like that need some seemingly poor decisions to be made, not to mention he remained far too clam for pretty much the whole movie, I'd expect plenty of shouted expletives to vent!! :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for sailing on your own, jeepers, no thanks, must have to be very strong mentally.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Woulda been gut wrenching seeing those container ships!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yeah the end was a massive cop out!</p> -

<p>Andrew Fagan from the 80s band the mockers who does a radio show with his partner Karen Hay has done a couple of solo round the world trips, I was pretty surprised when I found out about that. Apparently he smoked Russel Coutts in age grade comps a few times too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This was an awesome book and I hope the movie is as good <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460766/'>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460766/</a></p>

<p>I thought it was pretty poor ... I actually liked the previous one better. Then again, aside from The Avengers I struggle to enjoy superhero movies these days, they're all a bit same-same to me, so maybe I'm not the best poster to be replying to this!</p> -

<p>Really was looking forward to it, but ended up very disappointed with the logic/ lazy writing flaws. Didn't need the first 15mins either tbh.</p> -

<p>Wow! I expected more of a reaction TBH.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have seen Stripes, Ghostbusters,Animal House and Caddyshack hundreds of times each. This of course means there will never be another Ghostbusters movie, with original cast anyway. Probably sentiment aside for the best. No one wants to watch another Dan Ackroyd movie but Bill Murray and the rest of the cast offset by dislike of him so it probably still would have been cool</p> -
<p>sorry, i would have posted, but i am in mourning. have been watching clips from Groundhog Day and Caddyshack pretty much all day</p>

I've seen it and it's fucken weird. I saw the reboot too and that was also extremely weird. <br><br>
Lots of animated sex and glam rock tunes. Now that I have been weed free for a number if years I doubt it would be as interesting as it was when I was baked. -
