Deadpool. Was excellent, never went long without laughing and was a bit upset when it finished. Go see it. <br><br>
Legend. Bit meh to be honest, tells a small part of the story and does it in a pretty boring manner. Hardy was great but still...I'd say don't bother, you're not missing anything. -

<p>I always wonder if he ( as well as whats his face from Outrageous fortune ) get paid double for playing twins.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great performance from him but the movie wasn't particularly good, weirdly paced and seemed to descend into awkward comedy when the brothers had their punch up. A better Kray film was made years before with the two brothers from Spandau Ballet in the lead roles.</p> -
<p>Add me to the "Deadpool is fucking great" list.</p>

<p>Funny as fuck; extremely violent; and titties. Big ticks all round. </p> -

<p>I thought you said big dicks all round for a sec.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've heard I'd love it but I can't stand Ryan Reynolds so I'm in a real conundrum but I have some free movie tickets and there's nothing else I'm even remotely interested in now that Star Wars and Bond are distant memories.</p> -

Well there are significant sections of the film where you see him get tortured, injured, burned, stabbed and shot. <br><br>
That help? -
<p>Brooklyn - last movie on my best pictures nominee watchlist. This is a nothing film. In certain parts it's a laugh out loud comedy and in the rest it's just what's the point? I know that lots of females like it and I'm unsure why. What is weird is that Nick Hornby wrote the screenplay yet aside from those funny parts it's completely dry.</p>

<p>One of the main reasons I watched Edge Of Tomorrow - the opportunity to see Tom Cruise get smashed over and over.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just so happens its a great film as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>MN5: I happen to know that Ryan Reynolds poaches a mean egg. That help?</p> -

<p>That's a fucken good quip that NTA, I might go to the movie based on that alone :good1:</p> -
The Hunger Games<br><br>
I previously thought (perhaps very unfairly) that this was Twilight-style chick lit but I really quite enjoyed it. If have a complaint it's when the actual competition started. I don't get how you can suddenly have a 6-man alliance in a competition where the objective is to kill everyone. It's not Survivor or the Royal Rumble. That Katness hardly smashed the comp either. That little black girl saved her life then the other chick decided to have a little rant instead of just killing her. <br><br>
But yeah, am now looking forward to watching the other films. -
The premise is really cool and I'm fascinated by the whole capitol vs districts thing. Don't expect a new GoT but was very pleasantly surprised by the first film.

<p>Out of curiosity I read all the books, weren't bad. But the whole Katniss being used as a symbol etc was a weird choice.<br>

<p>The boy read the books, so I gave them a read too.</p>

<p>Katniss is an emotional fucking basket case even <em>before</em> she goes to the games.</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>I watched it this week, enjoyed it, also as I couldnt recall how it played out, so was disappointed when it ended the way it did, although it does beg the question did the part with Rob and Doug play out as it did given both died?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I thought Keira was okish with the accent, kinda slipped in and out of it, sounded more Aussie I thought, but agree Watson was terrible as was the Dr chick they had, she was shocking! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>You gotta wonder why people do that to themsleves, with such high stakes when the weather can be so fickle and the slightest error and thats it, although I guess its like most adrenaline junkies except the rush probably lasts longer.</p> -
<p><em>Deadpool</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well, my expectations were high, and sometimes that's dangerous because they're unrealistic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not this time - that movie was everything I was expecting since I saw the first proof trailer (the opening scene in the car) a while back. Fuck that was good. The wife cringed at a couple of points but she had a great time, unlike her last Gold Class experience with Leo's <em>Guy Who Got Fucked By A Bear</em>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fuck <em>Revenant</em>. Seriously.</p>
