The Movie Review Thread

[Geeen]

Was a bit surprised at how good "If I Stay" was. We were expecting the usual teen crap that is everywhere, but it is actually a very well told story with a brilliantly matched sound track. Definitely worth a watch with your main squeeze.

300 Rise of an Empire. Pretty damn good, not quite the same as first film 300 but its hard to top "We are Spartans"....
Reasonable story line.

Don't think people got to movies now unless really big epic buildup and marketing.
At the opening of lone survivor in wgtn there must have been about five people in the whole theatre....
Watched on ITunes....

You'll have to wait in line, I'm first :) Well after the Spartans anyway!

And then there's a few other films and TV series she's been "done" in....I liked "sin City: A dame to die for" not as good as the first IMHO but watchable, also Camelot where she played Morgan.

NIGHTCRAWLER
5 star.
Epic

Loved this movie.

[MD]

Can we Knight Sir Peter again? Really, this man is my hero. I love Tolkein and Sir Pete knows how to visualise the un-visualisable scenes Tolkein vaguely described at times in his writings. I mean the Balrog. Every reader had a different idea of what that demon must have looked like. Well Pete took the image straight from my mind. How'd he do that? Smaug, another masterpiece of Pete's imagination and creativity.

So back to the last of the last of his Tolkein interpretations. And that's all he could ever do, interpret his impressions from reading the awesome books to how to put images on a screen.

Well for me the last movie was a good one. I would have liked a bit more screen time for poor Smaug, but I guess it was time to move the story along.

As for calling a small flock of eagles arriving in time for the closing credits an army, well that's taking the piss, so it's the battle of 4.05 armies.

A highlight for me was the unexpected appearance of dear Billy Connelly. Considering his failing health his character fought like a horny teenager trying to unwrap his first condom.

I know Sir Pete has said he wont. BUT PLEASE PLEASE DO THE SILMARILLION

Machete Kills.... hmmmm yeah might have been better with alcohol....
Ok but not as good as the original Machete... which was awesome....

nau. a good aliem movie is hard to come by. but on a scale of signs-to-ten, this one is ... well, better than signs, anyway.

lots of plot holes, not nearly enough bullets used,
some good, some bad.

[R650R]

Crave. Interesting seeing Ron Perlman (Clay - Sons of anarchy) play role of cop.

Interesting film but plays out a bit different to what you expect after the trailer.

Smaug was awasome but I was left wanting with his screen time.

Legolas' gravity defiance in one scene was a bit gehy.

In the Blood.

Absolute shite except for when Gina Carano is on screen and to ne honest she's a better real life MMA fighter than she is an actor but does ok.
Danny Trejo makes only a couple of token short appearances...

Typical Seth Rogan humour but given a massive publicity boost by North Korea and the world's media. Worth a watch just to see what all the fuss is about. 7/10

Seven Pyschopaths

Dark comedy - Very funny movie.

[Berries]

A big bag of shit.

The kids got given the DVD for Christmas although they didn't appear to be that bothered and certainly not taken in with all the hype. Chip off the old block there thank god. Put it on but it was dire, the six year old walked off to play with a digger and the seven year old switched it off before halfway.

1/10.

Would be 0/10 but the main bird was quite tasty.

[Waihou Thumper]

Just watched this movie which I'd put off because I've read Marcus Luttrell's book. Films are often disappointing.

Happily its a good movie which avoids the gungho American patriotism of the book. A good book but just read every second chapter.

This film is reasonably close to what really happened in the mountains of east Afghanistan. There is a scene where a Chinook is shot at which actually happened on a different mission but yes, it did happen. You can find snarky remarks on the internet about this being unrealistic but real people died in a real combat situation.

What I particularly appreciated were the tactical actions of the soldiers. Often military movies feature a lot of shouting and weapons on full automatic. Not here. The Red Wing guys whisper and move covertly. When they are in contact they fire single aimed shots instead of mindless blasts. When you are days away from your firebase every bullet has to count.

The firefight with the Taliban is very realistic and is the central action of the movie.

Recommended but read the book.

Where can I find the book, better still wanna lone it to me?
Just watched it, very good portrayal...

[AllanB]

Last night I watched - Cold in July - a good thriller, well shot and acted. Nice supporting appearance by Mr Miami Vice himself - Don Johnson.

Also watched 'Lucy' - had potential but never clicked for me - felt a bit rushed.

Had notes of the Matrix in it...but basically an "ark" movie. A bit ponderous; I kept waiting for Chris Evans to go "flame on" and heat things up.

I got the book from the library.

Y'know, maybe this is one time when you don't need to read the book. I enjoy Special Forces books but this one was hard work. In various ways the film was better so stick with that.

THE IMITATION GAME.

The Cumber should get an Oscar nom (at least) for this. Even Keira Knightley didnt annoy me as she often does. Mark Strong is excellent as always as is Charles Dance.

Because it is about cryptography, and code breaking, which are very difficult subjects indeed, and harder still to portray on screen (what, there's two hours of a dude staring at a pad and occasionally writing on it, or looking out the window and thinking? How will that play in Peoria or Porirua?)

Its not like that at all, and from what I can recall from the books I have read about this stuff (Simon Singhs "The Code Book" and in a fictionalised context Neal Stephensons "Cryptonomicon") they way they actually did it was handled very well.

I liked this a lot, I also think that they way they handle the way that Turing was vilified and driven to suicide for being gay was well done.... not the focus of the story but a not so subtle plot point.

Highly recommended. 9/10

Excellent portrayal by BC of a historical figure who should have been recognised for more than he was. Although this is essentially a dramatised doco it kept our attention without exception.

Turing's suspected aspergers is also skillfully included in BC's character.

Agreed 9/10

Just been today.
Idd have to rate this movie even higher.
For me its a 9/10 and well worth seeing.
Unlike most war movies its containing well developed characters and not to hard on hyped American one sided action.
Wifey liked the movie also so not just a boy action flick.

Planning to see it this week.
Was watching some of the interviews on ewechoob last night. Very interesting about the character portrayal of Chris Kyle. His "language" was much like learning a foreign language, according to Brad Cooper, and he stayed in character while off-set.
Never me the subject, but he spoke to him on the phone just once.
Kyle's wife had a lot of involvement too.

The Raid 2.

i feel a bit like a homo, having not seen the raid 1.

now, i don't like chinks. worse, i don't like chink speak. and i certainly don't like having to read a fucking movie (it's like a book... with moving pictures, right? what is this, 1930?)

and my tolerance for ultraviolence has decreased, heaps.

that said. it's a pretty epic movie. the cinematography is spectacular, plot and storyline and whatnot, while not being deeper, are better developed/portrayed than your average kung-fu
there's a glad lack of gun play. unfortunately they slow down some "action sequences" to emphasise (usually hamstringing) wounds.

while i might not watch it again for a long, long time (due to abovesaid ultraviolence) totally worth watching if you're into that kind of thing, or if you want a solid action movie.

[Naki Rat]

A very interesting watch. Not so much about the real detail of what Edward Snowden exposed so much as a personal depiction of Edward and his philosophical reasons for doing what he did.

If you use a computer, phone or any electronic coomunication device you should be aware of the level of surveillance you are under, which is emphasised throughout this doco. And of course NZ is a member of the 'Five Eyes' alliance....

Jupiter Ascending. Good action flick. Stunning graphics. Watched it in 2D and am regretting it as it'll likely look stunning in 3D. Some cheeeeeese ya can see coming a mile away, but that kinda cushions the blow. An interesting concept, primarily as you have to flesh out yourself. 8/10 aaaaaaaand will probably go to see it in 3D.

Forced by wife (take me or else) for making her see all the LOR and hobbits with me. I enjoyed the movie to the point asked the wife for the 2nd book for a read. Watching porn - albeit restrained :spanking: - not a problem with me and the wife, but with an additional 100 or so others a bit awkward.

"Fifty shades of grey is romantic only because the guy is a billionaire. If he was living in a trailer it would be a Criminal Minds episode."


Been looking forward to this film but the reviews say it is terrible. Might still give it a shot.

The story is very loosely based around a reality that some people have (not on a conspiracy level) and it was at a very high level leaving a lot unexplained. I say this only given your reaction to Lucy ;). It's feckin pretty, so the perceived weakness of the story didn't really matter that much... and I went into it expecting more from the story.

Watched Fury a while back. Very dissapointing film I thought. Parts of it are good for showing the nastiness of war for both sides, but I couldn't hold back nearly choking from laughter at the unbelievable ending.

Spoiler Alert:
Small bunch of hero Americans hold off a whole battallion of heavily armed and seasoned SS Veterans who some how lose all their discipline and knowledge of tactics - and instead unrealistically adopt direct frontal human wave charges against an immobilised sherman.

[rustyrobot]

Kingsman: The Secret Service

A 'very British' take on a spy flick. Reminded me of the James Bond movies I enjoyed so much when I was a kid, with contemporary humour. Surprisingly entertaining and a nice change from some of the American dross I've watched of late. Michael Caine plays an upper closs toff with Michael Caine's accent - and Samuel L Jackson is black Bill Gates with a lisp. Plenty of in jokes and action, and a global warming theme to satisfy the tin-hats. Managed to convince SWMBO to come along as one review said "perfect Valentine's day movie" - turns out the bad guy's name is Valentine. :) She enjoyed it as much as I did.

Doesn't take itself too seriously (cough *skyfall* cough) or forget to have fun, without being 'the spy who shagged me'.

8/10

Yeah that's where the movie totally lost my approval rating. Ridiculous to expect an audience to believe the germans, or anyone, soldiers or not, would be that useless at attacking an immobilised tank.

Unless the Germans had a very cunning plan stolen from Black Adder. Our troops will slowly walk directly at the tank's guns so the enemy inside will keep shooting us dead and in the process die from finger exhaustion or boredom from killing us so easily.

Yeh totally. Thanks for the White Tiger link, will def get around to seeing that.

Some other foreign war films that I recommend for their different perspectives:

Unsere Mutter, Unsere Father (Our Mothers, Other Fathers) aka Generation War.
- Mini-series showing perspective of your average German non-nazi drafted infantryman who is fighting a war he doesn't believe in and how he tries to cope with the carnage and horror around him.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmyGPX23px4

Tae Guk Gi
- Korean Civil War movie, pretty much the Saving Private Ryan of the Korean war with gripping battle scenes, up close ruthless combat and quite true to history with its portrayal of South Korean army defeats, forced conscription, and massacres by both sides.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY3v9gMehf4

City of Life and Death
- Chinese movie on the Rape of Nanjing (Nanking). This is the Chinese equivalent to Schindlers List (in black and white for whole film too). Shows the perspectives of Chinese civilians, and surrendered soldiers, but unlike other propoganda that comes out reaking of CCP, this one gives a Japenese soldiers perspective on the chaos around him. For this reason it was poorly rated on the Mainland by quite a few ultranationalists.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9td_3P3w1S4

You should be able to watch all of these movies on youtube with English subs, try to find a HD version of Tae Guk Gi though as the trailer doesnt do it justice.

Just watched 'What we do in the shadows' last night.

Awesome.

To be honest, I had low expectations, but really enjoyed it. Not a rip snorter right the way through, but not a 'well there were at least 5 good jokes' film either like some NZ efforts of the past.
Hope it does well overseas, they make some dosh and then bust out a few more good 'uns.

Small bunch of hero Americans hold off a whole battallion of heavily armed and seasoned SS Veterans who some how lose all their discipline and knowledge of tactics - and instead unrealistically adopt direct frontal human wave charges against an immobilised sherman.

Utter shit that movie is. I can't believe Hollywood is still pumping out that dross. American sniper was another good dose of that.

[Akzle]

Dracula 3000.

i don't know where to start.

with a budget of at least ... fifty bucks, they could have managed ... something else.

with a plot the consistency of vegatarian's shit, and every single cliche in the big-book-of-cliches, the only real redeeming feature was that jubblies survived to the end.

you could watch this movie on mute, i recommend it, actually.
infact. don't bother watching it. just get some still frames.

[Akzle]

children of men.

epic. just neat all over. from the same git that bought y'all pan's labyrinth, apparently.

i don't know how they could make a sequel, but i'd watch the shit out of it.

I fucking loved that movie for its realistic and surreal feel - especially the motorbike scene :eek5: 10/10

Nothing like it, but I recently watched the kiwi horror comedy "Housebound" was actually quite funny and was a good flick.

Fantastic film. Perfect intensity and pace, with some dry English humour and some stunning 'long takes'. Can't really think of anything like it. I've watched pretty much every dystopian or post-apocalyptic film I could find and they are all either much slower and darker or over-acted and under-written.

Other things you might like if you haven't seen them: Hanna [cheesy art house action film / movie length music video], District 9 [not your usual alien invasion], The Cabin in the Woods [smart man's pop-horror].

"Housebound" was actually quite funny and was a good flick.
will add to the list. chur

Hanna
loved it.

District 9
did enjoy. probably due for a re-watch.

The Cabin in the Woods [smart man's pop-horror].
seen it. was not so thrilled. one of those movies where y'r'all liek "aww hell naw she ain't THAT stupid"... but then, she is...

Pre-destination

9/10 - This is a Sci-Fi thriller which is really intense with its twists and turns. A plot that will keep you interested until the end, and questioning yourself about the fuck you just saw and how the fuck?

No massive overly done special effects, in fact there are few if any in the film, most of it relies on good story telling and gripping acting performances. Don't expect to see the same old shit plot play either with goodies nearly failing against the baddies and then getting back up to win the day. This movie has a plot that is original and mind-fucking. Pretty much every piece of content and sentence in the film has a meaning behind it which you will only realise half way thru or towards the end - which makes second time viewing primo.

Highly recommend - don't watch the trailers for it, they don't do it justice or will spoil parts of the plot.

[Swoop]

Well, American Sniper didn't live up to expectations.

Chris Kyle certainly deserved to have his story told, but for some reason this movie had a strange approach to doing just that.
For me, 6.5:10.

[caspernz]

Kingsman.

It's a bit like Bond meets Tarantino. Best described as dark humour I suppose, and seeing Samuel L Jackson with a lisp...hilarious.

I'd give it 7.5/10

I kept hearing from people this was worth a watch so I got it out. Not wrong. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Not that I'm usually into tear jerkers and this is way up there on the pass me a tissue meter.

How the hell did they recreate that tsunami charging across the landscape pushing the beautiful Naomi Watts along at such speed? It looked so real it was scary just watching from the safety of the couch. And when she gets cut up and injured you almost wince in pain.

From memory, seasoned SS veterans could not shoot straight, find cover, or use panzerfausts when at company strength. But a little hitler jugend was able to conceal himself well in cover for an ambush where he turned out be accurate as with the panzerfaust. :laugh:

Daredevil (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3322312/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_7http://)

Not a movie but a TV series. Loving it. It's gritty and violent the way a comic book adaptation should be. Stars Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk (Kingpin) and does a great job of it.

The whole series is up on Netflix (created by them).

8.5/10 from me.

It gets good again in S3 :D (Unless I'm the only one that thinks the first season was choice, and the second a bit of a fizzle).

I lost interest in Orphan Black, killer first season though.

First episode into Daredevil, it's meh, but I thought the movie was average as too. Better looking than Flash and Arrow though :sick:

Different vein but I've been enjoying watching Louie and Inside Amy Schumer recently. One step up from no substance humour (well Louie anyway) but pretty decent by comparison so some other shit out there.

2 episodes in and American Odyssey looks alright.

12 Monkeys, average, Better Call Saul, good.

If you haven't seen it already I recommend Rick and Morty. It is probably one of the funniest things/best I saw last year.

Was watching The Americans but it's gone all soap opera shit.

Last Man on Earth, shit, it's the kind of humour that makes Amy Schumers show look sophisticated.

Well, that's my in depth analysis.

Stanley Kubricks first film Fear and Desire

A ficticious war in an unidentified country provides the setting for this drama. Four soldiers survive the crash-landing of their plane to find themselves in a forest six miles behind enemy lines. The group, led by Lt. Corby, has a plan: They'll make their way to a nearby river, build a raft, and then, under cover of night, float back to friendly territory. Their plans for getting back safely are sidetracked by a young woman who stumbles across them as they hide in the woods, and by the nearby presence of an enemy general who one member of the group is determined to kill.

Good like all the old films, worth a watch.

"Good Kill"

Directed by kiwi Andrew Niccol - who directed Gattacca, Lord of War, and the Truman Show etc. Yet again Ethan Hawke puts on a bloody good performance.

Gives a really good look into the work that the "pilots" are now doing with UAV's all across the Middle East and how shit and traumatic the job is. Most compelling movie I've seen against "pre-emptive" drone strikes and Obama's death from the sky "War on Terror" which is really just breeding more fucking terrorists. 100 times more balanced than good guy bad guy "American Sniper".

Quote of the movie is when a cop asks the pilot how the war on terror is going - "about as good as your war on drugs".

Yeh definitely a bit slow and long! But yeh the message pretty strong.

Another war movie I re-watched again the other night while movie binging was Coriolanus which is based on a Shakespearian play of same name. The movies been pretty under rated, I guess cos most people nowadays cant stand the good plays of the old and ye ole Englands - I usually quite like the remakes.

Stars Ralph Fiennes and Gerard Butler - shot in Serbia.

"Good Kill"

i thought more about this, and i now have, surprise surprise, more words.

the movie itself is propaganda:
on the one hand we have "boohoo we're all sad and kiling people like actual boots on the ground" - to garner the sympathy of the public?
on the other it's all like "terrorism is bad hmkay, you're "saving american lives" (actual quote)"

on the whole, I cant see a purpose for this movie that doesn't benefit the JSA govt.



anyway. enter conspiracy ax.

nauu. i'm young enough to know some shit. for the elders attending: the jewnited states government has released a video game (quite some time ago) to find suitable candidates for military operations
scary? fucken wut.

that knowledge in conjunction with aforesaid movie, makes for a scary future of warfare.

which is what the "military industrial complex" is all about! (the future of warfare)
-they're looking for the next generation of soldiers, and finding them, likely, playing fuken video games

now this can be developed in several ways - the US feed actual intelligence into the game and see what the gamers do, or, eventually (if not already) stream live fucken feeds from the battleground through some computery shit to appear as pixels in front of kids for them to blast away at.

the extension of this runs two ways: one, the existing technology (drones) is perpetuated, extended, we have like, war-robot guys killing arabs or terrorists or drug cartels or whoever the fucken bad guy is this generation.

second: mech suits (a la crysis, or that entirely forgettable new ish tom cruise movie)

to be controlled by teh gamers. to be piloted by convicts or other politcal undesirables.



oh what a bright future i look forward to.

i'd also expect, as a tactical thing, to make better use of long distance shooters/snipers ffs.

being filmed by NG i'd have expected some better cinematography, rather than the handy-cam bullshit. was moderately well cut, but i still haven't taken to this tv-style "show some things, then show someone's face giving their opinion on things" - no fucks given.

would i watch it again? categorically no.
should anyone watch it ever? not in any entertainment kinds of sense.
i suppose, in the NG theme of things, it could suit some kid doing homework on why americaunts shouldn't go to other countries where they're not wanted and piss the locals off, but that's about the extent of the value of the thing.

Animal Factory.

6.something /10

i'm not sure if the young fulla was badly scripted or badly acted or both, but he let it down a bit.

no particular pace nor plot. a rather unremarkable story about the big-bad world of being inside prison, the cliques inside and the "we're your best friend" lawyerjew cunts on the other

Great movie. Brutal. Recommend not sucking on pork bones while watching.

[HenryDorsetCase]

This one is as confusing as fuck. Watched it a couple of times now. Still don't know what it's meant to be about.

Still, highly recommended

amazing resemblance to a MAD MAX era Mel Gibson? apart from the facial scar.

also the new MAD MAX comes out this week I think. Definitely be making a trip to the theeeeeater to see that. the trailers are epic

Thanks all :)

Saw this movie nearly 15 years ago and never forgot it. My gf at the time rented it and I didnt really pay attention to it until the ending. The movie itself is quite subtle but the concept and idea was powerful. It is slow and captivating throughout most of the length but speeds up at the end to give you a mind fuck and lots of questions. Still makes me angry and depressed thinking about it lol. I had a pretty low opinion of asian movies till i saw this one. Wong Kar Wai is a movie genius and glad I found it again. I suggest watch it late at night alone and slightly inebriated / high. 10/10.

Good doco. They had Pink Floyd lined up to do the soundtrack right? Some of his other films were fucking nutty.

[Smifffy]

This one was all over the place, yet was strangely engaging, possibly from a sense of morbid curiosity at what would happen next. The denouement was a real mind fuck. Watched it on the plane, and it was pleasant enough way to pass the time. Would watch again. 7.5

Watched Horrible Bosses 2 also, pretty good for a sequel and well it has Jennifer Anniston talking dirty again lol.

FILTH From the twisted mind that gave us Train Spotting. I loved it.

+1

we're going 9/10. not that there was anything to let it down.
maybe some shootouts and car chases.

top notch cinematography and all.
soundtrack worth a boot too.

[Akzle]

Junkie.

another one i find hard to rate. but we're positive.
felt very long for 80 minutes, i'm sure it could have been trimmed without losing anything.

worth a watch. most people wont "get it"

Ex Machina was pretty good.

I'll be watching Arnies latest 'Maggie' tomorrow night and Chappie during the week.

I watched a great doco on Netflix today called All This Mayhem. It's about the rise and fall of the Pappas brothers. A couple of Aussie kids who reached the pinnacle of vert skating back in the 90's. I remembered watching them when I was into skating myself.

It has some extremely funny bits and obviously gets pretty heavy. I definitely recommend it even for the non-skater.

Edit: Directed by the guy who made Senna (something I should probably check out).

[Akzle]

Ex Machina was pretty good.

fuck yeah. solid 8.something/10. nothing incredibly remarkable about it, it's still soaking in, but good movie!

[Akzle]

Prisoners.

if e'er there was a movie to be given 10/10 this would be a fucking contender. leads that would make most women leave their marriage, top notch storyline, very human, an epic five hours or so (it wasn't. but it is long. but not painfully so) compelling. would watch again, but round 1 is still soaking in as yet.

fucking superlative.

Mad Max- where are you?


Same. So much hype. So let down. Started yawning before the end of the movie.

I really like Tom Hardy and expected him to stamp his mark on this movie. Sadly his character was a drip. Why do that to the legacy Mel created?

Kind of hard to stamp a mark on a film when you only have five lines of dialogue. Hardy did a great job.

I liked the brand new tyres on almost everything, but as said not a thinking movie.

Ex machina is great. I felt it was missing something, but I still liked it.

Return to sender, surprisingly good. Watched no trailer. Read nought about it, just watched and other than small lull in the middle it was excellent.

Just rewatched enders game, I like it but I read the books after, which are soild. Ben Kingsley was the best white south African Maori to hut the screen, and the only one XD.

Igby goes down I rewatched last week, still good.

Looking for some comedy I haven't seen that isn't retarded queued laughing bullshit. It's hard.

[FlangMasterJ]

Deary me that looks horrible. The original was great back in the day and is only just bearable now. This remake is going to crash.

Holy crap it's Taken and 2012 mixed with The Rock! It's a disaster movie that came out 5 years too late.

Looked up the actor from the NightCrawler movie and found this, End of Watch.


watched it. Not a tenner, but very much ranking. 8+
very well done. No "pissed camera guy" "effect". and even the handycam shit didnt fuck me off.

Saw gylenhaaaaaaal in something els, as a cop. Let u knw when i remember it.

That's how I found this film, it was either Rampart or End of Watch, the latter I think but both great flicks. Yes it was the latter, he's a shaven head LA cop.

Watched this other night, very good and some interesting subtle angles for the Conspiracists on where society is headed...

Warning DO NOT WATCH....

Small Time, car sales yard based comedy/drama. Utter shite that goes nowhere, all of the few funny bits are in the trailer....

[EJK]

Oh boy! I felt like a kid again! The first half of the movie took me back to my childhood fantasies. Gave all warm heart and felt like a child. But then the other half of the movie tore that feeling with horror and gore. It's not an action thriller, more like a frikkn horror film. Don't want to say too much, might spoil it.

Enjoyed the film every bit.

8.5/10

[Tazz]

Anyone mentioned the beast that is Kung Fury yet?

[wharekura]

Yes, great movie. However I though he is supposed to be the incarnation of evil to lead the group, yet more than once did his anger source from caring.

Bryce Dallas Howard has hot legs and its like the camera men couldn't help watching them.:drool:

Inside Out 9/10... it loses one coz it made me cry, a few times. A really well done concept should you choose to enjoy it for what it's portraying... and really well put together.

Oh, watched Harry Brown with Michael Caine t'other day. Bleak as only the British can do it but but it engages because it is very human. No vengeful heroes just old age angst and frustration. Not a hint of hollywood.

Leon. Also known as The Professional for USA release- censored version.The Yanks couldn't take the sexual undertones of child sexuality Portman so wonderfully brought to her character.

Probably been mentioned on here before but I stumbled on this 1994 gem at the local Vid store. Wow, Natalie Portman's first big movie break at age of 11. Jean Reno the French actor was perfect as a slightly retarded hit man.
Gary Oldman plays the deranged drugged out baddie (who better?). Worthwhile watching on all levels, the story is gripping, acting perfect, action scenes terrific. Might watch the whole thing again before returning it to the store in a week.

Movie left an impression on me and i probably only seen it twice since it came out.

Also, he's not retarded, he's autistic.

ive watched a few gooduns and regrettably not posted on them, however.

PSA:
DO NOT WATCH

2012.


Released in 2009. The movie is exactly 2.5 hours too long and everyone involved in the fucken trainwreck deserves a swift kick in the crotch, with steel cap boots, on fire. Then to have their eyeballs scooped out and replaced with fire ants.
0/10, seriously. No redeeming features what so ever.

I thought it was good watch. Ok its full of Hollywood crap but the graphics and special effects are well done...

Watched this recently "Top Five" by Chris Rock. Pretty funny and slightly different. Its been slammed online as being homophobic just cause some of the white characters are bi or gay but its only a small aprt of the film and not a major in my view. Just activists trolling their views. Jerry Seinfeld does cameo appearance pity its not bit longer than losing his wallet to a stripper....
