<p>Sabotage - Arnie, Sam Worthington plus a few other reconisable faces.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Crack team of DEA steal 10mill of a drug cartel, but when they go to get it from where they stashed it, it was gone...then, one by one, they start being killed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>lotsa shooting and shit!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Arnie is looking a bit old for this type of role.</p> -
<p>So, Interstellar, what did we think? It looked cool, but is it one of those movies that loses a heap when you don't see it on the big screen?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ideas were pretty cool, but i am not sure how much i liked it. </p> -
<p>Black Mass - Johnny Depp in the movie about James Whitey Bulger. Good film, good performances especially from Depp and Joel Egerton. Had a really good cast, every new scene a well known character actor or TV actor seemed to pop up. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, the best thing about this was that the cinema stuffed up the first 5 minutes of the film, bare with me, - they left the curtain closed, and the dance music playing while they started the film. At any rate they restarted, but at the end they gave us all a free movie ticket. What was even better was that as part of my membership my ticket only cost $5 and I got a a voucher to see a film for $9 as well. So basically it's going to cost me $14 to see three films.</p> -
Watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit with my kids the other night. Hadn't seen it in well over 20 years so wasn't sure what to expect. Kids loved it and I probably enjoyed it more when I saw it at the movies. Surprised they never made a sequel.

<p>Knock Knock - Keanu Reeves</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some pretty average acting in this (some wont be surprised given the lead) but the story is every males worst nightmare!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Your wife and kids head out of town, you stay home, and at about midnight, 2 hot young girls, soaking wet from the rain, knock on your door claiming to be lost....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pretty disturbing really (in a WTF kind of way) and they left a couple of questions unanswered as well (not the usual kind where you are left to decide on your own)</p> -

<br>
that movie rings a bell...don't remember Keanu as the lead but everything else checks out -
<p>I wonder what Lance Henriksen's up to? Oh.<br><br><img src="http://i.imgur.com/HHn4OME.jpg" alt="HHn4OME.jpg"></p>

1 week of travelling for work and i was able to squeeze in a couple of movies.<br><br>
Black Mass - good flick, enjoyed it, but not quite a Donnie Brasco<br><br>
Legend - its in the name. Great movie, Tom Hardy brilliant in the dual Cray Twins roles, you believed they were two different people. Some laugh out loud moments, and a couple of those moments are ultra violent and you kinda feel dirty. My movie of the year -
<p>Ted 2 - Funny as fuck, funniest movie I've seen in a long time. Immature as hell, most jokes about infantile things, some quick one liners and some good stoner action. Brilliant. 9/10 only because the hot chick isn't a patch on Mila Kunis.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bad Neighbours - All of the above, but not quite to the same level. Worth watching though, Rogen is quality. 7/10.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Interview - Next tier down from the bad neighbours.. not bad, but not good either. 5/10.</p> -

Also saw Black Mass, thought Depp was incredible, very good movie but agree not quite top of the pile.<br><br>
Very keen to see legend, Cray brothers had a wee bit of involvement in Balham where I lived in London and heard some stories in a couple older pubs, also randomly met a guy at a bar in New Plymouth who was in Balham at that time and ran into one of them -

<p><strong>Point Break - Awesome, Comman</strong>do - Awesomer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, watched the Austin Powers trilogy recently. Man that Mike Myers is one talented bastard. Austin, Evil, Fat Bastard, Gold Member... genius at work.</p>

<p>Your avatar is incredibly appropriate given that post.</p>

<p>Saw the martian, enjoyed it but just like Saving private Ryan I can't see myself risking my life for Matt Damon so bit hard to relate there.</p> -

<p>Legend was good, a bit long, Hardy was great though. I really don't like the female lead, there is something about her that annoys me so I wasn't really invested in her character so some of the story beats were missed on me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't rate it as highly as dk does - it's behind The Martian and Black Mass of recent movies.</p> -
<p>Vacation - Christina Applegate, Leslie Mann (both of whom are tidy) Chevy Chase (looking rather fat) Ed Helms and Chris Hemsworth</p>
<p> </p>
<p>National Lampoons Vacation gets a reboot as Rusty Griswald wants to recreate his family holiday to Wally World with his family...silly as <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='mailto:f@ck'>f@ck</a>, but I was chuckling away at plenty of juvenile shit!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hidden - no names, a husband, wife and daughter live underground in a shelter hidden away from the world and the 'breathers' that hunt them. I liked this one! Knew nothing of it, and thought it was a pretty cool twist on the genre (as with most movies, some dumb plot holes, but for the most part, was good)</p> -

<p>I haven;t seen Martian yet and I have high expectations that it will be great as well</p>
