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.

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? <br><br>
This move is so bad, Sean Bean not only survives, but ends the movie as a good guy. <br><br>
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></blockquote>

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> -

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

I must have been shaking my head in disbelief a the first two reviews and missed the die hard part . Speaking of sequels the trailer for point break is out now. It looks disgraceful . -

<p>I'm just honest. I enjoyed Pretty Woman and think Love Actually is a great movie. I do enjoy Die Hard, but I prefer the sequel.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm 38, I don't give a shit what others think. I find the more honest I am, the more others around become more honest too. It's like the first guy at high school to confess to having a wank. I wasn't that bloke, though.</p> -

<p>Like elsewhere on this thread, if they'd called it something else, and not made a link to Point Break, people woulda viewed it in its own right as an action film, said oh this is a rip off of PB, it is ok...but naming it PB is just gonna draw comparisons, and it is always gonna fall over.</p> -

Yeah I saw it at into thin air a few months back but it's on sky now too. It looks like a bad fast and furious clone .<br><br>
Since the original is one of the finest films ever made it was always going to struggle to meet the lofty heights it reached . -
<p><em>Tomorrowland</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Disney vehicle for George Clooney to do a kids/tweens/teens film. Interesting premise and a message about the planet going to shit and self-fulfilling prophecy. Hugh Laurie also present as the "bad" guy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I thought it was quite good. The production values are obviously high. Clooney makes a good grumpy disillusioned inventor, and there is the whole message of hope thing.</p> -

Why? There's a scene where they are in a diner and they play Dolly Partond original version of the theme song, the accent is on the you part of the title. When Whitney sings it she spends about a minute on a ululating version of the word "I" , personally I think that says a fair big about Whitney .<br><br>
So I guess you're watching dirty dancing tonight ? -

<p>Basically this flopped because it wasn't animated - and it's probably about 30 minutes too long.</p>

<p>I thought it was decent.</p> -

<p>No Way Out is a really good Costner film. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Costner has made some bloody good films over the years, and at the risk of getting abused by the Macho Man Jegga Savage I thought he was pretty good in The Bodyguard. At the time I always wished he'd do an action movie sequel of it (take out all the Whitney stuff and just have him being a bodyguard to people) that I reckon would have been good.</p>
