Because of all your talk about Ms Collins I had to google her. Fuck me she's a ratbag. I blame you fluffy bunnies for making me see those images.

<p>Back on topic...</p>

<p>Walk of SHame - Elizabeth Banks, a straight laced news reporter shooting for the big job gets hammered and has a one night stand and ends up lost in the rough streets of LA. Has some good laughs, Ms. Banks is easy on the eye (no boobies M4L)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Welcome to the Punch - James McEvoy is a rookie cop, comes so close to catching one of the biggest criminal/assassins around, but all is not as it seems. Not too bad</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Robocop - Abby Cornish, Samuel Jackson, Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman. Still deciding if I like it or not...tough to stack up to a childhood favourite!</p> -

<p>I saw Clark round Akl Uni in the late 70's when she was a Pol Studies lecturer.<br><br>
She was <strong>in the same way as Nick is a paid up member of the Richie McCaw Appreciation Society.</strong></p>

<p>I watched this last night after reading your review ... I should have taken more notice of the 'bad'. ;)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Actually, not too bad is probably apt ... interesting how all the London films film in the old Docklands area now as it looks all fancy and bright ... it went all US action film at the end and the seemingly serious issue they looked to be aiming for at the start was quickly dispensed with.</p>

<p>I quite liked Mark Strong in it.</p> -
<p>Flying Air NZ means watching films I would otherwise not watch.</p>

<p>Lego Movie - Morgan Freeman is funny as the wizard, the whole story is adhd, I saw old lego characters I use to own, and that awesome song got stuck in my head for 3 days. 8/10</p>
<p>Inside Llewyn Davis - About a failing folk singer in the 60s, it is a Coen Brothers film so I felt I missed some key moment in the film that explained the ending, the songs were actually quite good. 7/10</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Tokorev - Fern fave Nicolas Cage is a reformed mobster trying to go straight. On a night out with his new wife, a house invasion results in his daughter being kidnapped... Was alright, except the scenes of Cage screaming in pain of the loss of his daughter silently with music over the top.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Art of the Steal - Kurt Russell (looking old) Mat Dillon and Legartha. Russell & Dillon are art stealing con man brothers, and Dillon, in an effort to save himself hands the Police his brother. When his brother gets out he tries to go straight...again, ok, while trying to be a bit clever.</p> -

<p>As for Her, what's his name Phoenix has become like Daniel Day Lewis to me, I can't watch him without laughing anymore, so while I want to see it I'm not sure if I should bother.</p> -

<p>As Tim said, it's neither. It is just an interesting concept that is really well executed.</p> -
<p>ah ok, I just re-read the brief synopsis on IMDB and see where I went wrong :)</p>

<p>Here I was saving it for the right moment to unleash on the wife and show all the movies I pick aren't for me....</p> -
<p>[i]Sorcerer[/i] (1977)<br><br>
Very good movie, a top-notch thriller. The negative must have been very well preserved, because it looked amazing in 1080p for a 70's film.<br><br>
Not as good as the original though - especially the tragic explosion scene. The original had much less resources but executed it brilliantly. Also, the (great) soundtrack was underused.</p> -
<p>Death Race 2000 - If you remember the controversial Carmageddon video game of the 90s, it was based on this film. Stars David Carradine and Sly Stallone as two road racers who compete in a race across the US where you earn points for running over people. Actually a very funny film to watch. 6/10</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Death Sport - Another b-movie starring David Carradine. Bit of tits 'n' ass in it but just a run of the mill 70s sci-fi film about people trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. 2/10</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mad Max - Mel Gibson. Aussie cops chasing Aussie gangs, who in turn start chasing the Aussie cops, until Aussie cop Max gets mad. 4/10</p>
