<p>If Willis can keep Dying Hard then Im sure Gerard can carve out a mildly successful franchise/career by Falling everywhere.</p>
</div>

<p>Can I unlike this? Olympus Has Fallen is not even half the movie Die Hard is and Butler has about a 10th of the charisma of Butler (Willis). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe I dislike this movie so much because I paid $18 to go and see it when a fairer value would have been about $3?</p>

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote"><em>Warm Bodies</em> - as a self-professed zombie nutter I had to suspend my disbelief for the whole "come back to life" thing. Really interesting premise though, and Hoult and Palmer along with Malkovich did a great job.

<div>I really enjoyed this movie, but then I'm not really a zombie nutter - I prefer the Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead, World War Z types, to the old school zombie flicks.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Palmer makes the movie all the more enjoyable as well ....</div> -

<p>I, Frankenstein - supernatural action movie, 6.5/10, was decent enough, bit different to other Frankenstein movies, more super-heroish, is based on a graphic novel I think.</p>

<p>Watched 2/3 of "The Lone Ranger" on saturday but turned it off as it was a complete steaming pile of crap. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Watched "Elysium" last night. Had wanted to see it for ages, now wish i hadn't. What a load of crap. </p> -
<p>Monuments Men: This had bad reviews everywhere but I really enjoyed it. It's a comedy drama and some of the reviews I read took it way too seriously. I'm now reading the book which is interesting.* The one issue I agree with is that it lacked a focuses narrative ... which I think it could have done quite easily by having them work towards one goal ... which they kind of did near the end.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jack Ryan Shadow something: The latest Jack Ryan movie with the everywhere and overhyped Chris Kline as Jack. I find it odd he's a big star as Gerard Butler would out charisma him just picking his nose rather than shouting "This Is Sparta". Wasn't a bad movie, also had Kenneth Brangah as a russian baddie, Keira Keightly as Jack's girlfriend, and Kevin Costner as his mentor and boss. TBH, a movie based around Costner would have been more interesting.</p>

<p>*I've been reading a few books based on TV and movies lately. Orange is the New Black was a good read. I'm struggling with Lone Survivor because although the guy seems quite bright and well read he comes across as a cliched USA is great war mongerer at times ... whereas in other parts of the book he seems to be a really thoughtful guy. It's a bit weird, and every time he gets gung ho I put the book down and wait until I've got nothing else to read before picking it up again.</p> -
<p>Pretty sure Brannagh directed Shadow Recruit too??</p>

<p>Yep. I watched it because I just watched the Graham Norton show that had him and Knightly on it the other night.</p> -
<p>For the Bat-Geeks out there. A sneak peak of the new Batman and Batmobile from the set of Batman v Superman</p>

<p>I watched this last night, was decent enough, don't think Kline pulled it off though, someone <em>like</em> Chris Evans, Butler or Superman woulda worked better IMO.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nepia, I believe 3 Days to Kill is a movie of similar nature with Costner as the lead...I have it but haven't watched it yet (just over 2 hours)</p> -

<p>Agree on Chris Evans (actually Butler probably would be better too although I'm not a big fan of his). I've only seen Superman in Superman and didn't think much of that film so I'm unsure how he'd go, he might be too massive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've seen 3 Days to Kill, it's not really like Jack Ryan in any way. It's a bit of a mish mash ,,, which is understandable considering that Luc Besson wrote and produced it. It was a decent watch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Save the Date: Watched it because it had Annie from Community and Lizzy Caplan, it was an indie rom com. It wasn't very good.</p> -

<p>Bite your tongue, that's a classic cowl. Nice to Batman looking like Batman instead of an amoured motocycle rider. </p> -
<p>Wrong way round but check out photo 2. That cat has got to get his own movie.</p>

<p>Watched Conan for the first time since I was a kid. Pretty sure it's mandatory to watch <em>Highlander </em>now.<br><br>
Maybe Boorman's <em>Excalibur </em>too.<br>
