<p>Predestination might just about be the best movie I have ever seen.</p>

<p>Finished watching this and thought it was really good but unsure if I lost a bit in my split viewing of it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler] Was it supposed to be a big reveal that Ethan Hawke was John near the end? They played it like it was but I thought it was pretty obvious early in the movie. [/spoiler]</p> -
<p>Continuing my movie watching:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Gunman - Like TR says, a pretty decent action flick and Penn is ripped to fuck. It was clearly funded by Tobacco companies because there's a bunch of smoking scenes in there that clearly don't need to be - even if one is a device (a poorly handled one) to show a character's physical flaw. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now that I've seen it I definitely want to see the Neeson, Denzel, Keanu and Penn Avengers style movie. The four of them kicking ass in a movie would be awesome. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Age of Adaline - Um, Mokey might like this one. So, I made an error with this, I thought it was a thriller with an interesting concept (a woman who doesn't age), but it was actually a romance with a woman who doesn't age.</p> -
<p>Smashed Palace is airing on The Box:</p>

I may have found the worst movie ever. It's called "Never Back Down" and it's Rocky but waaaay gayer and 25 times worse in every way
-
It's now reached 47 times worse
-
It's so bad the story line makes no sense AND Amber Heard hasn't got her tits out.
-
I take it back. This isn't like Rocky but worse. It's like Mortal Combat but worse. <br><br>
And why isn't Amber Heard's top off? -
We've reached fag factor 5 captain
-
<p>Don't tell me you watched that crock of shit aaaaaall the way through?</p>

Would be interested in this movie having red <em>Into Thin Air</em> on Crucial's recommendation. I'll second his opinion. Excellent book. Haven't read <em>Left to Die</em> but may have to.<br>
Will be interesting how they depict the story in a movie. -
The Dark Horse - movies is pretty good, but the underlying story is also pretty sad, more so that it is based on a true story. <br><br>
Cliff Curtis is very good, as is James Rolleston (aka Boy and that Vodafone guy) -
<p>Dallas Buyers Club is pretty good aye?</p>
-
Olga Kurylenko's predilection for getting naked is a credit to her, and a bonus for us. <br><br>
Also Hitman is stupid fun -

<p>If you are trying to un-out yourself from watching Never Back Down all the way through you're going to have to do better.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The "reboot" of Hitman is out next month, with shit Jeremy Renner in the lead. It looks awful, but explodey, but with a Chinese chick in the lead so it works in China, so 110% less nudity...</p>

<p>That's not Jeremy Renner - it's the dude from Homeland, he could be quite good in the role. The chick doesn't look Chinese either.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did you actually watch the trailers? ;)</p>

<p>I know hes not Jeremy Renner. He's "shit Jeremy Renner." He looks like Jeremy Renner, acts like Jeremy Renner. Plays similar roles. But he's the guy you get when you can't afford Jerenmy Renner - hence he's "shit Jeremy Renner"</p> -
<p>There is a step down from Jeremy Renner? That's a pretty low bar to set. Also, that movie will suck. </p>

<p>Fuck, you make one bad decision on the beers, and you never live it down... seriously, even a bit pissy that movie sucked so hard. </p>
