<br>
I actually really liked the Moore ones, he could actually be pretty ruthless at times but I think people complain about the preposterous nature of some of his movies ( ahem, Moonraker ) whilst forgetting the one right after which was a great thriller ( For your eyes only )<br><br>
If there were more Indiana Jones movies perhaps the series would be closer in my eyes. But hey, Indiana Jones is still fucken awesome, Raiders is easily the best, Last Crusade second, Temple of Doom third ( but still a classic ) whereas Crystal Skull didn't really do it for me much save for the classic Ant fight ( fucken love it when Indy is getting a hiding from a big guy, often Pat Roach, and something in the environment saves him, this happens to Bond quite a bit too ) -

Sorry I was late, I was busy arguing on another thread why Chris Cairns needs to be in the Black Caps all time XI. -
<p>is that the one with baby Thor?</p>

<p><em>The Good Dinosaur</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>As usual with Pixar: well written, but at the start it was difficult for me to watch as they tried to build a dialogue around agrarian dinosaurs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway it picked up and had the usual emotional stuff, some laughs, couple of tear-jerkers, etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mostly, it was a vehicle for Disney Pixar to show everyone how their animation of water and landscapes kicks everyone else's arse.</p> -
Stupid tv, I have Shawshank Redemption on DVD, yet you still put it on tv and I end up watching it, not always from the start, but I have to watch to the end, ads and all!
-
<p>I watched it too, hadn't seen it in 10+ years. Brilliant movie.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also watched Ghost the other night which is a pretty emotional movie as well. Although the demons that come and take the bad guys away were cheesy as hell - I thought they were scary as fuck when I was a kid.</p> -
<p>So, yea, it was Sunday night, i had overdone the piss the previous 3 nights, no i lay on the couch to watch some bullshit on TV. And boy did i find some bull shit. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jupiter Ascending is the most convoluted, poorly acted, badly thought out piece of crap i have seen in a while. The story makes zero sense, i mean, zero. It took me half the movie to work out what the fuck it was supposed to be about, and then i am pretty sure the happy ending wasn't even really the end, exactly the same shit was going to happen eventually any way. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The acting, oh god the acting. Kunis is fucking awful. Watch the final action sequence for the most blatant example. She is supposed to be running for her life through a building that is blowing up, and she has all the expression on her face of someone taking a jog in a park. "oh wow, fire. Oh, wow, more fire" yawns Throughout this whole movie all this shit is being revealed to her, and she barely raises her eyebrows, fucking terrible. Eddie Redmayne is a tiny, pale, possibly ginger whiney bitch who wouldn't win a fight with an 8 year old girl over a barbie, but he's supposed to be the villain? Fucking seriously? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This move is so bad, Sean Bean not only survives, but ends the movie as a good guy. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Avoid at all costs. It looks like it cost a fuck load, and would have therefore lost a fortune. Actually, worldwide, it made it's money back, just. </p> -

<p>Watched the Kingsmen the other night, the church scene goes some way to redeeming Firth for appearing in a pile of shit like Mama Mia .</p>

<p>The question I have after reading this post, is why on earth are you watching Mama Mia to form an opinion on it?</p>

Sooo 4 stars out of 5 then? -
<p>yea, watch it fluffybunny, it's awesome. You'll absolutely have a great time...</p>

<p>Pretty Woman. Had never seen it before. Yeah, it's a love story, but it is quite easy watching and does have some funny scenes. I'd recommend it. 7/10</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Love Actually. Has to be watched on Christmas. A Christmas classic which has it all. 9/10 </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Die Hard 2. I think it's better than Die Hard. 10/10</p> -

My favourite movie scene of the past year.</p></blockquote>The mrs asked if I would watch it with her and after reading the synopsis which made mention of the abba soundtrack I told her there was no way I was sitting through it. I did note the Firth was in it, I know he's been in some crap before but that Mama Mia ffs , I hope they gave him a pile of cash .<br><br>
I see no one has addressed the poster who openly admits to watching Ghost.<br><br>
Edit and Pretty woman and love Actually ? -

<p>According to Box Office Mojo, its production budget was $176M, and ticket receipts were $183M. They get ~ 50 to 60% off those ($92M to $110M), so with marketing and distribution it (thankfully) probably lost a lot of money. Unless the DVD sales were rather large. ;-)</p>
