[quote name='Kirwan']Yeah. The other two were Jennifer Hudson (American Idol, Dreamgirls) and Alicia Keys. [B]Who the fuck are Wu Wang Gang?[/B][/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Im truly hoping that was intentional. <br />
<br />
I actually refused to watch this on the grounds it was going to be shit and because Dakota Fanning was in it. I gave the wife a guilt trip in the DVD shop and pouted till we got Surrogates (Which was shit). Now your telling me I should have gotten the chick flick? <br />

[quote name='Sneakdefreak']Went and saw Boy last night. Very, very funny with a bit of sadness thrown in.<br />
Some moments reminded me of growing up on the coast, especially the "You fuck up", "Nah, you fuck up" arguments.<br />
Does have a quick, yet random, ending which will throw a few people off but still a must see.<br />
<br />
4/5<br />

Watched the trailer for that, not sure if that will come to OZ on the big screen. Looks funny. -

Just hope they don't ruin it...<br />
<br />
like the trailer I saw next to this one..aargh Shrek 4, 2 was only just bearable! -
My son has just discovered Toy Story 1 & 2, very cute watching a 2 year old running around say "To Infinity and Beyond!"<br />
<br />
Looks like they aren't shying away from the darker themes as well as the humour, so it should be good. And has there been a bad pixar film? Can anybody name one, they have crazy levels of quality. -
The latest Expendables Trailer;<br />

Worth watching just to see Arnie, Stallone and Bruce in the same shot <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
And continuing the action/80s vibe;<br />

Nope cant think of any dud they have made, theres couple i didnt enjoy as much (yep i know they are for kids but they are made so well adults should enjoy watching them as well)<br />
<br />
Caught 'Up' a couple weeks ago, brilliant movie. The first part with the couple growing old together had the Mrs in tears.<br />
<br />
Toy Story 2 ranks right up there as one of the best sequels ever. -

Liam Neeson is going fully fledged action star these days. First Taken and now this. Looks watchable. -

Watched "Clash of the Titans" in 3D yesterday. I give it the thumbs up.<br />
<br />
Its simple, a trifle cliched in parts, and Sam Worthington acts like a bricklayer from Perth, but shit, it had all the ingredients i look for in a mythical adventure. Visually its pretty cool too, with the action all being fairly hectic rather than looking all cool and polished. -
Damn, I think they've gone too high brow with Ironman 2<br />

Tim, that's just immature and gratuitous. I love it, keep them coming <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -

<br />
That is an outstanding compilation and commentary. I had forgotten how bizarre some of those death scenes were, especially the Seagal ones. The 80s were a real high point for gratuitous movie violence. -

Was my fave movie of last year, and despite being a cartoon, might've been the most human. 9.5/10<br />
<br />
Finally watched "Anvil: The Story of Anvil" last night. Advance billing is a bullseye, it was one of the most satisfying films I've seen in a while. "Spinal Tap" meets "FUBAR," and possibly better than both. Must-see for anybody who loves rock & roll, and rewarding for everybody else too. 9/10<br />
<br />
Watched the "Fantastic Mr. Fox" on the weekend. Recommend. 7.5/10 -

Saw Crazy Heart last night, and sure I think Jeff Bridges deserved an Oscar (but probably more for Big Lebowski than Bad Blake), but I came away thinking "was that it??" I'm not even sure I can articulate the reason for this feeling. I just didn't believe the characters played by Colin Farrell or Maggie Gylenhall (sp?). Oh well I have another episode of The Pacific to watch
