Movie review thread...

<p>"Some drama ensues."</p>
<p>You really should go pro as movie critic.</p> -
<p>is that the spelling bee one with Jason Bateman?</p>

<p>Took the kids to the movies today, and because they will be seeing Big Hero 6 and Paddington during a school holiday programme, I drew the short straw and got to see Night at the Mueseum 3...was ok, some laughs, looked like it was garanteed to ne the last in the franchise, but they may have opened the door for Rebel Wilson to take it over from the awkward Ben Stiller.</p>

Hmm Scarlett Johanson, you guys remember there was a cool poster on the fern that used to have a Scarlett J avatar... -
<p>22 Jump Street. Even better than 21 Jump Street.</p>

See from the Sony leaks that the next sequel is supposed to be a Men in Black crossover? Crazy enough to work. Maybe. -
<p>The imitation Game: I thought this was bloody good, obviously they took some liberties with the 'true story' but that's to be expected with this type of movie - which might annoy some people but it didn't effect my enjoyment of it like The Butler. Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightly were bloody good (Knightly seems to have figured out how to act in the past couple of years) and the supporting cast were good as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think it was a good overview of Turing without being a complete life story obviously.</p> -

Nope. Doesn't ring a bell. Must've stopped posting -
<p>Movies i watched on holiday</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edge of Tomorrow: Fucking awesome until the last 2 minutes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lone Survivor: Guns! Black Hawk Down in the mountains. Makes falling down mountains look not very hazardous</p>
<p> </p>
<p>22 Jump Street: Stupid movie with 2 scenes so funny i cried with laughter. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Paddington: As said earlier, top kids movie</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Thought this was bloody good actually, great action film, if a little heavy on the obvious imagery. </p> -
<p>If you have boys, take them to see "Big Hero 6" it's wildly entertaining.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Finally caught "The Wrestler" the other night. Bleeeeaaak. Nice titties. Bloody good movie actually. </p> -
<p>The Equaliser - Denzel Washington, Martin Csokas</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great popcorn action flick, lotsa shooting, blowing shit up, fighting, just a bit more eye-candy and it woulda been awesome!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hope they dont, but ended like they were setting it up for a sequel+ kinda deal...</p> -
<p>Battleship - it's what it says on the tin. Loads of action, loads of bullshit and loads of CGI. Enjoyable.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>American hustle - typical academy awards nominee. Deep, well acted but a pretty boring story overall. Thought Bradley cooper was horribly miscast. </p> -

<p>I genuinely liked it. Not quite so preposterous as to have you shaking your head saying tone it down a bit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Watched that Lucy movie. As suspected it got rapidly worse to the point it was a steaming pile of shit at the end. Pity, because the underlying premise could have been good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One more review: Predestination. Think Six Monkeys + Looper + Crying Game.</p> -
<p>Yeah I thought the same of Lucy, promised so much, failed to deliver, but Scarlett.</p>
-
<p>Besson must be laughing all the way to the bank with Lucy, it raked in huge dollars. TBF to him he wrote 80% of a decent movie, if he'd stuck with the generic story instead of trying to go - wherever the fudge he went - it would have been awesome. I'm not the biggest Scarlett fan around here, but she was mighty tasty in this.</p>

Interesting to see some negative reviews of Lucy from what I can only assume are the wives/partners of regular posters here. <br><br>
It had Scarlett in it and she looked really hot so I stand by my original review . My only quibbles with the movie were her not dealing to the crime boss when she had the chance and the gunfight in the museum was a tad silly. I thought the ending was quite good, had me thinking for a while afterwards about what she became and what she gave. Morgan. And she looked smoking hot.
