<p>is that the one with baby Thor?</p>

<p><em>The Good Dinosaur</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>As usual with Pixar: well written, but at the start it was difficult for me to watch as they tried to build a dialogue around agrarian dinosaurs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway it picked up and had the usual emotional stuff, some laughs, couple of tear-jerkers, etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mostly, it was a vehicle for Disney Pixar to show everyone how their animation of water and landscapes kicks everyone else's arse.</p> -
Stupid tv, I have Shawshank Redemption on DVD, yet you still put it on tv and I end up watching it, not always from the start, but I have to watch to the end, ads and all!
-
<p>I watched it too, hadn't seen it in 10+ years. Brilliant movie.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also watched Ghost the other night which is a pretty emotional movie as well. Although the demons that come and take the bad guys away were cheesy as hell - I thought they were scary as fuck when I was a kid.</p> -
<p>So, yea, it was Sunday night, i had overdone the piss the previous 3 nights, no i lay on the couch to watch some bullshit on TV. And boy did i find some bull shit. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>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. It took me half the movie to work out what the fuck it was supposed to be about, and then i am pretty sure the happy ending wasn't even really the end, exactly the same shit was going to happen eventually any way. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>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? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This move is so bad, Sean Bean not only survives, but ends the movie as a good guy. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>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> -

<p>Watched the Kingsmen the other night, the church scene goes some way to redeeming Firth for appearing in a pile of shit like Mama Mia .</p>

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

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> -

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>
