[quote name='Gary'][quote name='MN5'][quote name='taniwharugby']some of the stuff SLJ does was amusing!! <br />
<br />
Saw G-Force - kids movie, [b]with super hero Guinea Pigs[/b]...<br />
<br />
TR Jnr liked, it, I thought it was pretty average for akids flick, even directed by Mr. Bruckheimer[/quote]<br />
<br />
You're a better Dad than me TR, NO WAY would I ever want to sit through shit like that ! <br />
<br />
Still by the time MN5 jr is old enough I'm sure he'll be keen to go to one of the inevitable sequels.....<br />

[quote name='Paekakboyz']Funny People with Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen etc...<br />
<br />
Really strong first hour then it fades. Hard.<br />
<br />
The stand up comedy is really good, apparently the Director got them to write their own material. Sandler is really starting to get some good roles these days... wonder when/if we'll get Happy Gilmore 2 - The Tigers Tale!<br />
<br />
First half = 8/10<br />
Second half = 3/10[/quote]<br />
<br />
I am normally a fan of Sandler, but alot of his movies follow that formula; very funny first half, weak through to the last 5 or 10.

(500) Days of Summer. A romantic comedy/drama about a guy who falls in love at first sight with a girl who doesn't believe in love. The film is presented in a non linear fashion, and hops around in random order through various events of their courtship. One of the better flick I have seen this year (along with The Hurt Locker).

[taniwharugby]

Year One; Jack Black, Michael Cera<br />
<br />
plus a host of other b list actors. <br />
<br />
Had it's moments, but for the large part, pretty average 5.5/10

<br />
Well, due to a disagreement with the director.

[MN5]

Sean is a dead set legend and a guy I'd love to meet someday but it can't be denied he has been in some absolute shitters of movies. <br />

I'd love to see this just to see how bad it is.....

[Tim]

What the hell wast that movie.. xzxshok

[dogmeat]

Zardoz I think. Sean Connery is easy to categorise. If he has hair in the movie avoid it like the plague

[BlueThunder]

Yes Zardoz, amusingly bad.

Eh ? he had hair in ALL the Bonds ! Crazy talk dogmeat. Mind you most probably true in every other case....

<br />
The Rock, The Hunt For Red October, Highlander has hair in all of those and all are pretty good.<br />
<br />
I think any movie where he has some floppy fringe type deal going on is likely to be crap..Or obviously pony tail.

<br />
I counter with Red October and several Bond films...

[dogmeat]

Yeah OK xzxflag_of_truce there are exceptions to every rule but as a rough rule of thumb since he lost his hair its not a bad guideline xzxcool

Just wanted to add to the votes upthread for "Up" - went to a 10 am screening of that last week, took the 7 month old along to one of the baby friendly screenings.<br />
<br />
A poignant, funny and quite moving film. A simple story, fantastical in nature - but with real heart and hope in it. It sounds like sickly sweet viewing fare - but it's not.<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed it - and as my baby fell asleep halfway through I got to watch it with her small head on my shoulder. It was primo. A Pixar film for kids to enjoy the story, but for adults to savour the meaning.

The trailer for Martin Campbell's feature film remake of his own [i]Edge of Darkness[/i] miniseries is online:<br />

EDIT: And it looks about as bad as Gibson's accent sounds.

Bit of hype around Paranormal Activity. Sounds like another Blair Witch.<br />
<br />
Anyone caught it yet?<br />

In spite of the lack of any big name actors, a decent storyline, and decent actual acting, it still sucked!
