How can a movie where Emily Rogakowski exposes herself only get an 8/10 ? It's a tough call between her and the chick from True detective for most talented actress of 2014 for me.<br>
Pike was very good in that, I don't really remember any specific stupid stuff in it. -

I woulda told the cops straight away when I foind the clue that lead me there...so no idea<br><br>
I thought it was just a domestic abuse thing?<br><br>
I remember coming to a conclusion at the time, but cant recall now, and not really the kind of movie I'd watch again to jog my memory...<br><br>

[spoiler]Why would any sane person stay with that thing. - because Afflecks character was an idiot. And quite a believable one I thought. <br><br>
Why did they not dispose of the stuff in the shed - perhaps they were under too much surveillance<br><br>
Why was the point to hitting her self with the hammer(to make herself unrecognisable?) Her story on the road was she was on the run from an abusive partner. She was playing on the good will that people afford victims of domestic violence. A big bruise to the face is also a solid ice breaker with other women and gives her story more credibility.<br><br>
Why would the FBI agents not let the lead detective question pike.<br><br>
Who honestly has sex in a public library... I havent and wouldnt, irrespective of the woman and her physical attributes but I know lots of people who are ruled by their genitals and not by their brains (you know the sort, the ones that make really bad life decisions and wonder why shit always goes wrong for them). Plenty of folks out there get off on the thrill of potentially getting caught[/spoiler]</p>

<p>John Wick. I liked this movie. It opened the door for Keanu to reinvigorate his career and I think everyone has a soft spot for Keanu. There were some disappointments, the character back stories specifically everyone except Wick were a bit flat. But the lead gangster was pretty cool. 8/10</p>

<p>Dracula Untold. Shit 1/10</p>

<p>Watched The Judge last night. Good cast, average writing - seemed confused as to what genre it wanted to be. Not a lot to commend it really. Save it for a rainy day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Watched (most of) Fury last night. I'm a sucker for war movies and this is good. Gritty, well written and acted. Some excellent cinematography and if you've ever wondered what a lot of MGs and medium armaments look like, the effects are superb.</p> -

71 - A dark and violent movie set in NI, I assume in 1971 ;)...about a young soldier who gets left behind following a riot on the streets.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Pretty simple story as you follow him after the riot as he tries to stay alive, but told pretty well largely with the tense atmosphere throughout.</span></span></p> -
Transformers 4: Fuck you Michal Bay for once again ruining this franchise. Christ what a shit film.

<p>So, saw the final Hobbit film last night. It was, um, well, good? Not great, just good. Plenty of battle scenes and action and shit, but again, too much pointless shit, and some of the CGI was terrible. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Overall, i give the trilogy about a 7. The Lord of the Rings was fucking amazing, and changed how people viewed filming fantasy. Pete put his heart and soul into that trilogy, his attention to detail was bordering on psychotic. And they had a lot of material to use for 3 movies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This time? you could tell his heart wasn't completely in it. And to be honest, there is probably 2 very good movies in that 3 good ones, if you cut out the stupid shit. Could they not decide if they were doing a dark version, or a light version? All 3 movies veer wildly from one to the other. Glad it was made, glad i watched it. Will probably watch the 3 in a marathon when the inevitible box set comes. But it's not going to hold the same level of reverence as i do for the Rings movies.</p>

<p>However, Evangeline Lilly as hot female elf #1 has taken over from Trinity as #1 in my "sexiest movie character" stakes. </p> -
<p>Yeah maybe even 1 film if they stuck to where the book was going. While all the songs and dancing-merrily-through-the-woods high fantasy shit wasn't going to wash, things like Tom Bombadil must have been a borderline call. It was good that they elaborated on the Dol Guldur (Sauron as the Necromancer) but I wouldn't have missed it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The fact is, the books were all male-dominated as fuck, and were never going to make great movies without some serious fucking around in terms of draping it in ovaries and hoping women would turn up. But the nerd girls would have anyway, if only for the homoerotic tones of Sam and Frodo bitch/butching it up around Tongariro.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, top job Jackson and NZ in general. I reckon it was about the only place you could have made that movie, despite the whinging of a few Pommy purists who had never seen the joint.</p> -
<p>have yet to see the final installment of The Hobbit, but felt they made it (needlessly) darker than the books, and obviously making 3 movies from 1 book when they made 3 movies from 6 (in my book set) books</p>
-
<p>right you are, it has 7 books in the box...still, 3 movies for that vs 3 movies for The Hobbit, a book he wrote for his kids</p>

<p>Scarlett Johanson in those movies where she beats up people in a tight black costume. I don't know the name, its not important.</p>
