fuck a review, just watch that shit.

Expendables 3. Guns, bombs, explosions, etc. The usual suspect reprising the usual roles, but fun for all that.

Hercules

Liked it. 9/10 Just lots of mindless battle stuff and special effects.

Railway man.

War story about the Berma Railway. It's based on a true story and a book. Great movie.

[FlangMasterJ]

Guardians of the Galaxy.

My favorite Marvel flick so far. I can't fault it.

9.5/10

[mashman]

Enders Game... the first 7/8's was a great scene setter... the end was a little predictable if not disappointing. Having said that 9/10.

Home... still a stunningly shot movie with a slice of truth that you will either deny or accept as happening at the moment. 11/10

moon.

i don't know how this managed to miss the theatres and shit. it's a pretty coo' moov.

I deleted it first time around because some dick labeled it as new moon and I thought I had accidentally gotten that twilight spaz.

Solid movie. Even just as a voice Kevin Spacey is the man.

I just finished the second book due to enjoying the movie. As always, books are better and are a decent enough read if you're into sci-fi man.

Film Festival.

I think we have seen six or so so far with another couple weeks still to go.

Highlights so far:

UNDER THE SKIN

Scarlett Johannsonson gets naked. Quite a lot. Once you get over that its a pretty damn decent creepy movie. I liked it enough to buy the book as soon as I got home anyway. Also, Jeremy McWilliams is in it and rides a motorbike pretty fast. 9/10.


PARTICLE FEVER

Documentary about the Large Hadron Collider. I know that the Higgs Boson has (to a likelyhood of 5 sigma) a value of 125GeV. I don't know what that means but they spent a shit ton of money and built a fucking cool big machine to find out. I love this stuff. BIG SCIENCE. The "camera" part of the detector for the experiment is five stories high. Its amazing. 10/10.


THE MULE.

this is fantastic. A great aussie movie up there with DEATH IN BRUNSWICK, TWO HANDS, LITTLE FISH and THE CASTLE. Really well done, pitch perfect (set in 1983) and apparently based on a true story. Absolutely worthwhile, recommended. 10/10


Iv'e seen a couple others (and more this week and next) but they're the ones I really rated so far.

Reminiscent of 80's Electric Dreams. Being a programmer and did some stuff in AI, movie intrigued me about social interaction and what constitutes a relationship and love. This is about a guy who falls in love with an operating system (a bit like having a relationship with IPhone's Siri) and him coming to terms with what it means.

Acting: 9/10, Storyline: 9/10, Action: 1/10, Violence: 0/10, Water Works Female: 3/10, Water Works Male: 1/10. Best scene: When he realizes near the end what should have been obvious from the start about falling in love with AI.
One word summary: Love?

Atlas Shrugged parts 1 and 2

I quite liked the premise, and the railroad/engineering aspects appealed to me, I give it a solid mashman-meltdown/10

I find myself eagerly awaiting the conclusion actually.

Bloody good movie. I thought they weren't making any more after the first one.

Friday is ..well drink night, so I can't be stuffed attaching clever links but as a fan of mad Max I can't wait for TOM HARDY to re-ignite the legend that was MAD MAX! I am so big a fan of Tom. Yes I was a big fan of all things Mel did as well. What a perfect choice for the next gen. of Max/Mel

I was a young lad living in London when Max 2 (the one that caught everyones attention) came out. That was so awesome. If it helps I was shagging a beautiful Aussie chick in London in the interest of trans Tasman relations. Yes, I did it for God and the Queen.

So yeah, lazy me, go find the trailer yourself but it looks so bloody good! Can't wait.


Maybe this works.

Me again. Saw the latest Planet of the Apes this week. AWESOME CEASAR RULES! A fitting sequel to the Rise of the Apes. They could squeeze out a follow up ...hint, hint, please.
