Yup sure did I remember 'blasting' that on tape back in the day <br />
Wasn't a bad movie, certainly one of Arnies silliest tho -
<p>Secret Life of Walter Mitty - entirely average, thought it looked good in the trailers....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am Soldier - a story about a guy who is trying out for the SAS and some of the stuff he has to go through to get there, aside from the entirely cheesy ending, I thought it was decent.</p> -
Better living through chemistry - Olivia Wilde, Michelle Monaghan, Ray Liotta, Sam Rockwell Even a few scenes with a half clothed Olivia Wilde couldn't save this. A few chuckles but just a bit slow IMO, could have been quite good, 6/10<br><br>
Oldboy - Samuel L. Jackson, Josh Brolin.<br><br>
Brolin is abducted and held captive for 20 years, once finally out he sets about seeking revenge. Some brutal Tarantino-esque scenes as he goes about gaining revenge. <br><br>
As you find out the reasons behind his kidnap, you get set up for the reveal of the final twist.<br><br>
I liked it (twist aside - which was sorta predictable in that I had thought about it, but dismissed it) -

<p>Last Action Hero - an Arnie film which came out at the same time as Jurassic Park in 1993. Jurassic Park won. Still a fun movie to watch if you're killing time on a Wednesday night. 7/10</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Transformers: The Movie (1986) - Remember seeing this in the movie theater when I was 4 or 5 years old (my sister had to take me). It is 2005 and a gigantic transformer planet (voiced by Orsen Welles) is eating other transformer planets. A lot of original Autobots and Decepticons met their Tomy maker in the sky and a new leader has to emerge in the Autobots' darkest hour. Smashes the gay stuff put together by Michael Bay and Shia Lebeouf. 9/10.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also included great bad 80s theme tune.</p>

<p>Can't stand the Michael Bay/ Le boofhead stuff.</p> -

<p>I almost added this short 15-min. doc to the "Awesome Things" thread, but on second thought figured it was a better category here.</p>

<p>After the Dark - sounded very good, and was for about the first half, and then kinda dragged out, with a pretty lame final 5 mins or so.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A class of Philosophy students in Jakarta are given a task by thier professor that 10 of the 20 of them have been given the opportunity to live in a bunker following an atomic blast, and each is given a profession and it is up to them to decide who lives and who doesnt.</p> -
<p>Just saw Divergent, was pretty good if you like the hunger games you'll enjoy it I think. One thing that irritated me was there are four male characters that look fairly similar and the main star is one to watch out for in the future, I think she's pretty cool.</p>
-
<p>if the 4 females are similar, and hot, judging by your previous posts, I'd have not thought you would see that as an issue! ;)</p>
-
<p>Unfortunately it was the four male characters so pretty much wasted on me.</p>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also the trailer to this piece of shit screened beforehand, I'd rather remove my eyelids with a rusty butter knife than sit through but judge for yourself.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> -
<p>ah my bad...I didnt see the 'male' bit and then saw the main character was a female....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ride Along - Ice Cube, Kevin Hart - was ok, a few laughs.</p> -
Get Him To The Greek<br><br>
The Vegas hotel scene is fucking brilliant -
<p>Side effects - Jude Law, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Channing Tatum</p>
<p> </p>
<p>decent enough thriller about a chick who tries to kill herself and is prescribed drugs to treat her, with interesting side effects. Mostly predictable, but still a decent watch.</p> -

<p>Is that the one where Catherine goes all sapphic on the other chick? Must watch it again.</p> -

The Grand Budapest Hotel: Wes Anderson at his wacky best. Visually stunning murder whodunit caper movie set in the mythical East European country of Zubrowka just before WW2. <br /><br />Who's in it? Who isn't in it. The usual Anderson suspects from the royal tennenbaums, Rushmore, life aquatic etc, plus Ralph Fiennes in the lead. <br /><br />Great date night movie. <br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
