I saw JCVD today. All the reviews I have seen say it is good. They are right. Definitely his best movie ever. At times its funny, sad, and even a bit weird during the scene where he breaks the fourth barrier and talks directly to the audience. I thought the movie ending vs. the real ending was neat too, I was even saying "wait a minute, this isn't how it really ends, he's just imagining this." and I was right.

QUOTE(McBadgere @ Jul 29 2013, 03:51 AM)  We really laughed at Scott Pilgrim...No, I mean the film, we actually enjoyed it...Loved Chris Evans and Brandon Routh's cameos...Loved the little things like the number on the side of Chris Evans' car was a piddle-take of the Fantastic Four logo... Nah, have to disagree...Scott Pilgrim was a brilliant film... Also, Mary Elizabeth Winstead...Just...Mary Elizabeth Winstead...*Sigh*...  ...Oh, speaking of Mary Elizabeth Winstead...(*Sigh* )...The other night, we saw another underrated and deeply satisfying film...Which - as it happens - co-starred Mary Elizabeth Winstead (*Sigh* )...Abraham Lincoln - Vampire Hunter... *Applauds*...We absolutely loved this film...Such a cool idea, so brilliantly done...The fight sequences and effects are brilliant...So is the make-up...Should have been a far bigger film than it was...So clever...Loved it...And Mary Elizabeth Winstead is beautiful and brilliant in it...Yes she is...  ...And then yesterday we all went to see The Wolverine...Which was pretty good...Hugh Jackman is always excellent...All the actors were excellent actually...They did good with what they were given...Sadly, it was full of plot-holes and continuity errors of the most gigantic proportions...(Seriously, if you go see it, watch out after Mariko takes the chop-sticks out of the bowl...*Facepalm*...)... Amywho...Despite this it was still a pretty good film...Better then X-3 that's for sure... I honestly hope you stayed behind for the after credits, McBadgere. Big reveal there! My jaw actually dropped and I jumped up and down like a little fanboy! Can't wait for the new Xmen!

DE...Yes, we always stay to the end of the credits now...
...That was possibly the best scene of the entire film actually...  ...And actually, it made even me look forward to the new X-Men...I'd liked the first one and thought they went downhill from there...X-3 was awful...  ....KoB...We love Wall-E in this house...Proper good film that... |

I found that I liked Tuco the best. His character is the only one who really has any depth at all. So I found him the most interesting. Blondie and Angel-Eyes have all the depth and character development of a card-board cutout. This post has been edited by SubRosa: Jul 30 2013, 10:07 PM -------------------- |

I watched Secrets of the Dead: Dogfight Over Guadalcanal today. It was a good dissection of the dogfight between Saburo Sakai and Pug Sutherland. The show Dogfights went into better detail of the dogfight itself, which was a masterpiece between two outstanding pilots (Sakai became Japan's top ace of WWII). But SotD went into much more about what happened after the fight was over, such as the wounded Sutherland's trek through the Japanese-held jungle. Especially interesting was finding the remnants of his plane, and the evidence that one of his guns had been jammed from Japanese gunfire.
I like the Secrets of the Dead series. It is all over the place, but it usually does a very good job of whatever it decides to tackle. I saw the Lost in the Amazon episode a few weeks ago, and it was really intriguing. I also especially like the Amazon Warrior Women episode, that dug into the reality of females being part of the warrior aristocracy of Eurasian nomadic culture.

Oh look...Is it my turn again...Yes...Apologies, but it's not my fault if no-one's watching anything...
...Aaaamywho...Been a little busy with the old films the last couple of days... We went to see the new Sandra Bullock one yesterday...The Heat...From the trailer, I was expecting one sort of film (the wife wanted to see this more than I did), but what I got was so much more...It really was a brilliant film...Yes, you get the Melissa McCarthy stuff...Swearing, violence etc...But you honestly get a decent plot and character stuff as well!!...It really was an excellent film...The soundtrack, although not really my sort of thing, was really good...Don't ask me to name the artists, but it's on iTunes so go look...Yes, hearty recommendation!... Then, last evening we saw The Watch again...Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Richard Ayoade and Jonah Hill...Fantastic film!!...We absolutely loved it...Again!...So funny...Not entirely kiddie-proof so we had the chair-throws at the ready..."Now kids...NOW!!!"..."Aaand we're back..."... ...And then, just now we watched Storage 24...Which is a low-budget Brit Sci-Fi written, Produced and heroed by Noel "Mickey the idiot" Clarke...It was cheap and cheerful, that much was obvious...But definately better than some mega-millions ones we've seen...Yes, that Noel was in it helped hugely...We've been fans since his stint in Doctor Who...But it was really well done for the money...And at 84 mins, it doesn't hang about...Well worth the price of a DVD...From the Tescos bargain bin...On a rainy sunday afternoon...Which...It currently is... And shortly, the family will be watching Skyfall...I'll be off to work though...And then, when I get back...We find out WHO IS THE NEXT DOCTOR WHO!!!!... *Cough*... |

Dunno...I'll tell you in half an hour or so...
...Prog on now...BOOYAH!!!...Christ I'm so drink...I maybe overdid it...  ...EDIT!!!... Peter Capaldi...He's been in Doctor Who before...It's a different kind of choice...But, I'm very much pleased...I like him personally...The wife and the daughter are devastated that they don't get the totty...But still..I like him... The wife's more upset because he's the bloke who shot his wife and daughters in Torchwood: Children of Earth... I don't mind personally...It's not the same character...Unlike Captain Jack...  ...This post has been edited by McBadgere: Aug 4 2013, 07:48 PM |

Well I was only off by one category. I don't recall anything this Capa-whathisname has been in. But he was fun in the Pompeii episode. So hopefully he will work out.
Wow, lots of Cap'n Jack hate. Don't blame the character, blame the writer. I just pretend that Children of Earth and Miracle Day never happened. Life - and Torchwood - is much more enjoyable that way. I still love Jack. This post has been edited by SubRosa: Aug 4 2013, 08:13 PM -------------------- |

Going to watch (on TV) John Carter tonight. The critics panned this one badly, but the book that the movie is based on was the first sci-fi book I ever read...A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs, written in 1917. I was just a kid (11?) and loved it so much that I went on to read the entire Mars series by the author. I saw a grade Z movie of the same title (A Princess of Mars) on the SyFy channel, and it sucked. Traci Lords played the heroine, Dejah Thoris...she should have stuck to soft porn where she belongs. I'll let you know how Disney did with their rendition later tonight.

It could be watched twice without it palling, but was not one that will end a classic/epic/favorite/etc. I saw "V For Vendetta" the other day, not bad at all. -------------------- |
