Aio ki te Aorangi
The Lego Movie: I loved it. Matrix type story for the kids to miss and the adults to enjoy. Batman was awesome and was irreverent enough that a volley of bad language wouldn't have gone amiss. It won't be everyone's cup of chai by any means. 7/10. (it loses .5 as Ben Stiller annoys me)
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

Ben Stiller? You mean Will Ferrell?Originally Posted by mashman
I saw it twice. Wasn't overly impressed the first time. Think I had high expectations. Second time was enjoyable though. Would also give 7/10.
Aio ki te Aorangi
I like Ferrell. I meant the voice of Emmet... which turns out wasn't Stiller, lol, but was close enough to his voice to have put me off. Dunno if I'd go to see it again mind, but will add it to the DVD's collection when it becomes cheap.

I thought it was pretty good - it kept the grandkids quiet for two hours and that takes a fair bit
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

I was pleasantly surprised by this one too. I went along to take my son who had been going on about it for the last few weeks eagerly awaiting the release. Instead of being bored out of my tree like most of the movies I take him too, I was happily entertained for the whole time. I'm sure a fair few of the jokes went over his head too.
Slightly painful irony in the anti-consumerism message being pushed by a film based on a toy, that now has toys based on the film based on the toy, and also a song in the itunes chart and matching happy meal.
Definitely one for the school holidays and although I probably wouldn't have gone by myself I'd still recommend adults without kids to give it a whirl.
Agree on your rating mashman - 7/10

@the consumerism irony. It was good from that perspective, as was the irony of, SPOILER ALERT (kinda) following the instructions winning the day (something I've come to agree with)
Aye, we decided to take the kids to the movies and myself and a mate were going to take them to see the lego movie on Wednesday night, but they're watching it next week at the kiddy programme. So we took them to see Rio 2 instead... well, the missus did as I seized my opportunity and went to see the lego movie in P&Q instead
+1 on going to see it without irrespective of kids or not.
Talk shit. Get hit
Wolf Creek 2
Classic aussie comdey but disturbing as fuck at the same time. Kind of ripped off House of 1000 Corpses towards the end but its well worth a watch. 8/10 (First ten minutes is fucken awesome)
Fully qualified Sifter.
Blue Caprice. True story about the two fuck heads that went on a sniper killing spree in the States a few years back. Was actually really good I thought.
Comfortably numb
Just watched the first episode of this. A filled out version of the Coen brothers movie, and also by them. Billy Bob Thornton as the drifter and Martin Freeman (Bilbo Baggins) as Lester Nygaard. Looks like this will be an excellent watch - rated 9.2 on IMDB
Well, this is awkward...
Fargo (the movie) is one of my all-time favourites, must watch it again. I guess this'll be on Soho? So ho ho I won't be watching it.

DVD or in theatre? I've seen a trialer for it and thought it looked good.
Oh yeah: this might be right up your alley. Or not.

We've been doing a few of the NZIFF classic movie teasers for the upcoming film festival. So we had THE THIRD MAN (10/10) and THE WIND RISES 11/10) and unfortunately missed LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (10/10) and ON THE WATERFRONT. (10/10)
Last night was FUNNY FACE. Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. A musical. From 1956.
I thought I would hate it. It went OK. looking with cynical eyes 60 odd years after it came out it is very dated in some ways, and being asked to buy the central love story between 26 year old Audrey and 56 year old Fred was a step too far from me. And stuff that was normal then that is "Dude WTF?" now is interesting. It is no more or less sexist, and much less misogynist than your average rap video though. With classier women.
The colour saturation and cinematography (and lots of lingering closeups of Auds) are superb. As are the costumes: what plot there is revolves around the fashion biz and a travelogue of Paris so totally worthwhile. Presumably the Republique paid a hefty chunk to the production..... talk about yer product placement Trev.
No rating but worthwhile. I don't really like musicals but this is an interesting time capsule. Some cool cars too.
