<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> -

<p>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>

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> </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> -

<p>Costner - I'm not really a fan of his as an actor. He kind of reminds me of Derek Zoolander and his one look. Tin Cup was alright, Dances With Wolves was so long ago I can't remember, but like TR, I did enjoy Waterworld. Although as Dennis Hopper does, he sort of stole the limelight for me in that movie. Mr Brooks was built up waayyy to much for me to enjoy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, last nights watching was Back to the Future. A genuine 10/10 movie that one.</p> -

I never understood the hate for waterworld, I saw it on the big screen and thought it was a decent enough action film. He was good in silverado too playing against type. -

I did t think he was bad, I thought it was a shit film especially compared to the other bodyguard film in the line of fire which came out around the same time . -

<p>Back to the Future is genuinely a timeless classic. Brilliant movie.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Part of my enjoyment in watching some of these older movies is that they bring back some great childhood memories.</p> -
<p>Waterworld </p>
<p>JFK</p>
<p>Open Range</p>
<p>Thirteen Days</p>
<p>For the Love of the Game</p>
<p>Tin Cup</p>
<p>Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves</p>
<p>Bull Durham</p>
<p>The Untouchables</p>
<p>Field of Dreams</p>

<p>All Costner movies i really like</p> -

<p>TR Jnr loves them too, he is having a diet of modern day films mixed with the classics of, well, all time - Back to the Future, all the Indie's except the l ast one, Star Wars, Princess Bride, Goonies and so on. Although he is now asking about the slightly more grown up Terminator, Mad Max, Predator, Alien...</p> -
<p><span>Princess Bride is one of my all time favourite movies. Must have watched it 100 times as a kid!</span></p>
