<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> -

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.</p></blockquote>

Catching Fire is quite good. Enjoyed that.<br><br>
The Mockingjay x 2 ultimately disappoints -

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>
Rancid 'Catching Fire' is probably the best of the series.</p></blockquote>
<br>
Yep -

<p>Just went in a weird direction, it could have and should have been on a similar direction to Lord of the Rings. As in big big action, massive conclusion all bets off etc.</p>
<p>Instead shes off with a handfull of camera men, director and a couple of friends. Little mission etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe because it was all written by a chick?</p> -

I have recently been advised to watch this...ideally with a few drinks or something green and mostly flammable -

If you get a chance, check out the making of the film. Awesome to see how much trouble they went to using real effects and props etc as opposed to the shitty cgi you see today in most films. -

<p>It's not overly hard to find photos of Megan Gale in the buff, but yea, i thought that was rude as well. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I found it hard not to enjoy. Plot? development? pah! weird looking fluffybunnies in frankensteined-up murdermobiles trying to straight-up execute each other, for 2 hours? What's not to enjoy? </p> -

I want to like this post but with the cool thread next door I feel I need to save them for that.
