Owned my own copy from the very time it was released mate.

Old Testament god = new testament god btw.

Was about to disagree but then again revelations shows the wrathful God that flooded the earth in the first set.
Back to the thread - yes, zilla not so hot on story but I didnt go for that - do enough thinking at work thank you.

Another good movie for the emotion this time - Mr Pip. Brilliant.

Glad to hear it & good to know I'm not the only twisted bugger here.
The book of short stories Ecstasy is of a similar vein.


Whats an i frame? Like a Zimmer frame but with one leg?

Watched a movie last night called 13 sins.
Surprisingly good for what I expected was going to be another waste of 90 minutes of my life

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

Watched this last night. Epically good film. Intense, but good

A Million Ways to Die in the West. Meh, some fuckin funny bits in it, but, meh. Preferred Ted. Whilst it brought much laughter I'd wait for it to come out on VHS instead of shelling out $ to go see it. 7/10

I had fun. I thought the CGI/VFX were excellent, and I enjoyed seeing San Francisco (spoiler alert) getting pasted.

I think PACIFIC RIM was a better film with a more original (in the sense of a genre movie) premise. Plus Idris Elba.

Still a 7/10 for bunking off work and seeing it in an all but deserted theatre.

new xmen movie - very good I like 7.5/10

Guy Ritchie "Revolver". Jason Statham in it, thought it would be the usual Statham fight-fest. It's not. Best review on Rotten Tomatoes is "bat shit crazy"

Edge of tomorrow is awesome. Go see it.

Watched Pacific Rim last weekend - lots of hype when released and the vid guy rated it. I thought it was regurgitated crap. At one stage I though it was trying to be a comedy.

I like my si-fi and action but it was so full of holes it ruined it. And ripped off so many other movies. The worst part was after the EMP or whatever the alien blasted and all the big bot things go down the hero pipes up that his will work as it is analogue not digital. Yeah given this was set in our very near future and the world had collaborated to design and build these fighting machines they then decided the best way to go was not with digital tech?

Soooo many other plot errors it was embarrassing.

Still it was a huge block buster.


I watched 2 Guns last night. Entertaining and Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington worked well together.


If this weather gets worse today I have Fast and Furious 6 to watch with my 12 year old son (he'll love the cars and crashes) and I have The Life of Pi to view. I know what FF6 will be like but have avoided Pi so far due to all the hype about it. Hopefully it lives up to half of it.

Edge of tomorrow is awesome. Go see it.

But it has Tom Cruise in it .......... I tolerated him in Oblivion - but I guessed the plot way in advance.

He appears to be paying the rent by featuring in second rate si-fi movies lately.


One of the best movies he did IMO was playing a baddie - something to do with a taxi.
