Movie review thread...

<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?
-
<p>Indeed. Rather like Ronseal, it does what it says on the tin.</p>
-
<p>Cum drops on faces and also on titties</p>
<p>blonde girls with fakies and no hair on bitties</p>
<p>Hard brown sausages making her sing</p>
<p>These are a few of my favourite things</p> -
<p>typical Australians and your selective reporting, no wonder you like the Daily Telegraph so much</p>

<p>I watched Avengers. Age of Ultron a couple of days ago. Thought it was OK but something of film looking for a storyline. Just a bit disjointed really.</p>

<p>(Back in the day every ratified organisation got a $250 grant from the Students Assoc. $250 was enough to have one decent party. I formed lots of Societies. Winnie the Pooh. the Jetsons....)</p> -
I went to the Hundred Acre Wood and threw sticks off a bridge...

<p>Saw Everest last night, really well done and very sad to watch. Some of the shots of the mountain and things like the Hillary step etc were incredible.</p>

<p>I thought it was well done too. What is funny is that my memory had gotten the story a wee bit mixed up in the intervening years. The climbing scenes were pretty spectacular and confirms to me that I will never ever do that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Emily Watson's NZ accent was god awful but I thought that Kiera Knightley's was pretty good. Jason Clarke was pretty good in the lead (of a pretty decent ensemble cast), I've been watching him since he was on Brotherhood and he's carving out a decent career for himself.</p> -

<p>Pleased to see the focus wasn't on Krakuer and was more on Withers, Krakuer even admitted when he first met him he thought he was a rich republican asshole but he turned out to be a good man . Also that Russian was a hard bastard and he came out of the movie better than he did in the book.</p>
<p>I havent seen Jason Clarke do dud movie yet but I havent seen the new terminator movie to be fair.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And the climbing scenes. Why, just why? What is the attraction? Incredibly well done though, the scenes with the storms etc.</p> -
<p>I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest last night for the first time in probably 25 years. Holds up great. Still awesome.</p>

San Andreas, big disaster film with the Rock.<br>
Cliche after cliche (estranged ex wife and daughter he sets out to rescue)<br>
But if you like seeing big buildings crumbling into each other and shit then you would like it. <br>
Clearly 98% of the budget was spent on cgi and the rock but I didn't mind it.<br><br>
Using the Mariner scale 2 titties out of 10, the daughter has a nice set and you see her for like 30 seconds in a bikini and a low cut tank top a few times -
<p>Saw Pixels on the weekend - must be great being Adam Sandler. What should we make a movie about? I know, lets make a movie about all the old video games we played as kids! Great idea!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Was a decent watch, liked Peter Dinklage's character!</p> -

<p>Lots of studio interference, has made Wheddon call time on his future directing in the Marvel universe.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They insisted on that weird Thor in a cave scene that mad absolutely no sense.</p> -
<p>Add me to the list that didn't mind Pixels. The kids loved it, i laughed a couple of times, not a bad way to spend a Sunday arvo.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That Michelle Monaghan is pretty hot</p> -
<p>I see Marvel are looking at remaking Blade. I loved that movie as a kid, Wesley Snipes was bad ass.</p>
