<p>A review of the new <em>Transporter </em>movie:</p>

<p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.avclub.com/review/transporter-refueled-winningly-stupid-224839'><strong>The <em>Transporter: Refueled</em> is winningly stupid</strong></a></p>

<p> </p>
<p>Can stupid be an aesthetic? <i>The Transporter: Refueled</i>, the Jason Statham-less fourth entry in EuropaCorpâ€
s signature franchise, may be the hands-down dumbest movie of the year—an unnecessarily convoluted chase-heist-product-placement flick that climaxes with the hero flying feet-first off of a jet ski and straight into the passenger seat of the villainâ€s G-Class Mercedes. By this point, of course, suit-and-tie-clad courier Frank Martin has already fended off goons with a medieval battle ax, <strong>blown up an Audi with a self-destruct remote that proceeded to <i>also</i> self-destruct</strong>, impersonated a doctor, and gotten away from the cops by driving his car up a jetway and straight through a terminal, blending into the sparse taxi traffic of an airport arrivals lane as though it were no big deal.</p>

<p>I had the pleasure of watching "Leon: The Professional" last night. Even now, 21 years on, it's a brilliant movie, with 3 awesome performances by the leads. </p>

<p>Luc Besson seemed like he may have been headed for greatness with this movie....</p> -

<p>Rose Byrne staring into the camera is awe inspiring in this movie. She is still bloody awesome too.</p> -
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="Virgil" data-cid="513615" data-time="1441486044"><p>Mad Max - Fury Road<br>
Kinda slow, needed more action tbh, bit of a chick flic/rom com..<br>
Just fucken insane, agree with previous comments, was more about Furiosa than Max<br>
10.5/10</p></blockquote>

<p>Its because i enjoy slow paced chick flics/rom coms ;)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I guess my original post was too subtle!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was a fucken mad movie, i recommend checking out the behind the scenes stuff, its insane the trouble they went to with the stunts and creating of the cars.</p> -
<p>I loved Max. Saw it on the big screen, the storm sequence alone worth the price of admission, as close to the feeling of tripping on acid as I've seen in a cinema in a long time. </p>

<p>I thought it was damned average! Even Charlize didnt help it, which is saying somethign! </p>

<p>Agreed, it lived up to the trailer for me, which I thought was shite and others were raving about.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You're not allowed to say you don't like it in Oz - I made that mistake, although I was at a party with a number of people who worked for one of the effects companies' when I said it, which was kinda dumb.</p> -
<p>I didn't like the trailer, was dragged to the movie, farkin' loved it.</p>

<p>Ah crap, now I can't say it in Wellington either.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Saw The Gift last night. It's one of those old school thrillers about a couple who bump into an old school classmate of the male who turns out to be a bit off. Was pretty decent.</p> -
