Movie review thread...

<p>The Matrix is my favourite movie ever. Point Break is the nuts. I love Bill and Teds. That's a shit of a lot of goodwill. </p>

<p>I saw John Wick on a transatlantic flight and also watched Taken 3, Kingsmen and John Carter on Mars (it was a long flight). John Carter on Mars was rubbish and I couldn't watch it all the way through. The other three were the usual mindless and improbable violence but I just felt that John Wick was pretty crap. Keanu hasn't done much for a while now that's any good. 47 Ronin anyone?</p>

<p>John Carter on Mars, Taken 3 were both shite, Kingsman was awesome!!</p>

<p>I am very tempted to add you to my ignore list, I'll give you one last chance....</p>

<p>What is your favorite Sarah Jessica Parker movie?</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#40e0d0;"><span style="font-size:8px;">hint - there is only 1 acceptable answer</span></span></p> -
<p>Yes Jegga and M4L. You're both right. Point break and the first Matrix are effin awesome movies and the two Bill & Teds are good too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Perhaps I should have bolded the <strong>"for a while"</strong> bit. Just to make it stand out a little?</p> -
<p>TR, my fave SJP (see, I'm down with the girls here) movie was I think Godfather Pt1. I'm pretty sure that was the one. Her head was in the bed anyway.</p>

<p>I think it's a waste watching films like that on a flight, you need a big screen and for Kingsman, Taken and Wick you need them not to be cut. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I haven't seen 47 Ronin but know a bunch of people that really like it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As M4L notesThe Matrix, Point Break and Bill and Teds (along with Speed) build up a lot of goodwill. He also made a good doco about the transition from film to digital which was good (as an aside Chris Nolan came across as a bit of a dick).</p> -

<p>Haha, I was wrong, there were 2 correct answers, the other being Mr Ed!</p> -

When I was 5 Mr Ed felt like a movie!

<p>Do they cut movies on flights anymore? I watched Ex Machina on a flight recently, and while I enjoy gratuitous nudity as much as the next guy, when the 20 rows behind you can see your screen - not so much.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And John Wick was great satire, was good because it didn't take itself seriously. One of the many highlights was was Goon No 70 complaining "It was just a bloody dog" as Wick slit his throat/blew him up/shot him/dropped a car on him (delete as appropriate).</p> -

<p>I wonder if it is airline dependent? I was on a flight with a Chinese airline and I'm sure one of the movies I watched was about 1/2 the running time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I really like Alicia Vikander, but glad I watched Ex Machina on the projector at home rather than on a plane for the reason you mention and the pure size.</p> -

<p>Straight Out Of Compton: The story of NWA, or more accurately the story of Easy, Dre and Cube. DJ Yella and MC Ren are merely supporting players in the movie and Arabian Prince doesnâ€
t rate a mention. The movie was produced by Dre, Cube and Easyâ€s widow which may explain that focus.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Itâ€s mainly about their early years, how they got started and then the fall out when Easy and the manager Heller seemed to be the only ones making any money. Has quite a bit about Suge Knight too - the dude is a bit psycho.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ice Cubeâ€s son plays him in the movie and front on he looks heaps like him – he was pretty good at playing his old man.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Obviously the soundtrack was bloody good. There were a bunch of other era appropriate songs not from NWA. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed that era of rap.</p>

<p>I have actually managed to watch some of the English Patient and will admit that I'd rather sit through John Wick again.</p>

<p>Ok I actually watched this movie the other night and it is fucking awesome . Judging by your review I take you're looking forward to the new Bridget Jones sequel Cato?</p> -
<p>I won't watch the sequel until I've seen part1. I'm currently searching the remains basket at my local DVD rental for that one. Nothing so far though.</p>

Fixed that up a bit for you. -
<p>Does that mean there's a part 3? Oh my. So much to do now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The mix up about the Director's cut you refer to reminds me of a true story.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A good friend of mine (divorced woman) absolutely loves musicals, anything with John Barrowman in etc and her particular favourite is The Sound of Music, so much so that she likes to iron whilst watching it as she can just sing along whilst pressing the linen. (As an aside her sister prefers to do the ironing on Bennies as it just seems to go so much quicker).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, my friend had recently retrieved her DVD of The Sound of Music from her widowed Mother, set up the ironing board and put the DVD on. Imagine her surprise when rather than Julie Andrews belting out "My favourite things" she was assaulted by a previously unseen film entitled "Big Black Bone". She has no idea how this DVD got into the SOM cover and cannot countenance the possibility that it may have been a mix up by her widowed Mother. All possible suspects in the substitution have trumpeted their innocence with the statement of "I wish I'd thought of that" ringing from all and sundry. The SOM DVD has yet to be found.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And no, I do not know what she has done with the Big Black Bone DVD.</p> -
One assumes with big black bone, you can kinda guess the genre by the title?
