<p>Cuban Fury: Salsa dancing movie with<strong> Nick Frost </strong>(the fat fulla in the Simon Pegg films) and Rashida Jones. I found it funny and Jones was stunning, she has always been hot but they always give her a stupid fringe on Parks and Rec. A good light film.</p>

<p>I've always found this guy really funny and Pegg nothing but irritating. Not in a funny way either, just really fucking irritating . Rashida Jones is hot though, I'll check this movie out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just so we're clear there is no Pegg in this film though?</p> -

<p>A very brief cameo where he says nothing, you'll be sweet.</p> -

<p>I was trying to convince my wife to bring my son (he's seven). Instead, I'm waiting to buy it on DVD and I have to edit out some of the non-kid friendly bits. Sigh.</p> -

<p>What kind of non kid friendly bits? Although my nieces are teenagers so that wont matter. Is it a PG or M rating?</p> -

<p>M, but nothing that a teenager would be worried about. Bit of swearing, some Groot OTT impaling of faceless bad guys. All very cartoonish.</p>

Going on the "special reel" presentation that Kirwan had compiled with all the Scarlett Johansson bits his wife has never seen -

Don't forget his "Kate Winslet the early years " chapter . -
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote"><p>I think my favorite thing about Golan and Globus was how, after they split, they released two different films exploitating the Lambada dance craze ON THE SAME DAY. PS Golan's Lambada film was WAY better, since "The Forbidden Dance" features Sid Haig as a Brazilian witch doctor (!!), a safe sex message, and an ending that features a message about the plight of the rain forest.</p></blockquote>

<p>Caught some of Michael Moore's spiel "Capitalism: A Love Story". </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Look, whenever you watch this bloke's stuff it feels like tabloid current affairs, but jeez he makes some good points about how rampant capitalism creates a complete screaming dud of a system. The unbridled corruption running through the halls of power in the financial sector in the USA is mind boggling. And you can see it happening here as our political systems become more lobby-oriented, run by fools who answer to rich men in the shadows.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thankfully we still have some fairly tight regulation of the banking sector in Australia (and in NZ too from what I know of the consumer protection policies) that would head this sort of thing off in the first instance. Usually whenever you see "A Current Affair" (tabloid journalism as stated above) and some bogan whining about the bank ripping them off, its because they didn't read the Ts & Cs.</p> -
<p>I watched "The Good Shepherd" for the first time the other night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A 3 hour spy movie with zero suspense, awesome. It was interesting i guess, but takes itself faaar to seriously, and is actually pretty tedious at times. </p> -
<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' class="bbc_url" href='http://thedissolve.com/features/exposition/707-comrade-rambo/'>The soviet <em>Rambo</em> (II). </a>

<p>Starred Up - gritty and brutal Brit drama about an extremely violent teen that goes from juvenile lock up to full on adult lock up, where his dad is also a imprisoned, as his father tries to look out for his boy, he tries to make his own mark.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good film</p> -
I watched Michael Crichton's <em><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' class="bbc_url" href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082677/'>Looker</a></em> last night. It was a lot of goofy fun. Some of models were outstanding.

<p>I watched Her and The Double in the past week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Both movies were interesting. Phoenix wasn't too annoying in Her, and it was a watchable movie, but I don't think it lives up to the hype.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Double was pretty out there, I haven't read the novel so unsure if it's exactly the same. I'm still not really sure of what was going on (there are a few theories but I'm can't say one makes more sense than the other). I did like the look of the movie, I thought it was going to be set in the UK anytime when the old tube trains were in existence but it was it's own time and place with a kind of The Hour look and feel.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For my next movie watch I think I'll just watch one with a straight ahead narrative. </p> -
Glad I wasn't the only to not really get The Double

<p>I read a few message boards to make sure I wasn't the only one too. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was shocked when it started because I'd only seen the scene where they're ordering the scrambled eggs (on Graham Norton I think) and I didn't take that much notice of the clothes/cafe so I assumed it was a contemporary story.</p>
