I saw GIJOE today. It was alright, I liked it. Personally I liked it better than Transformers 2 even though they are both kids movie made with serious budget.

The movie wasn't too long, however it was packed with action: Explosion, laser and fire. Apart from actors running around with toy guns and in plastic doll suit (which was made quite well), The movie did well to impress.

I would definitely rent and watch it again when it comes out on DVD.

I rate 4 out of 5.

Love the Beast staring Eric Bana - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1284028/

This movie is based around Erics love affair with his Ford GT Falcon Coup, its a bit of a doco movie,

He brought the car when was 15 and has owned it over 25 years. Then raced it in the Targa Tasmania, after some work (over 500hp)

He chatted to Jay Leno, Jermery Clarkson thru the movie, about how cars make people feel, and how many people don't get it. Many of the things they talked about can relate back to some motorcyclist and there bikes.

What i found interest is how he felt after seeing the car after he had an accident in it, and how much it tore him up, that he had ruined his car, but he was perfectly fine. And wished he had broken his legs or arm or something.

4.5 stars out of 5

Before I start, let me tell you I'm a big fan of Alien Quadriology. I'm some percent drama watcher, however I'm a big big fan of action movie. That's where I stand and where I view, so bottom words maybe biased.

District 9
Anyhow, the movie was very impressive. Mixture of CCTV, Handcam, TV News and normal movie camera, the film (camera) environment was well balanced (Peter Jackson's "new" thing. It worked well). It was like Blair Witch, Resident Evil, Cloverfield and Earthlings (documentary) all combined into one fine mixture.

The movie District 9 is definitely not for children. Theres not much horror scene however there are a few gruesome moments. For example; lots and lots of exploding humans, robot with wicked weapons and some "sexual reference"

The storyline of the movie was very unusual. If we think of an alien/ extra territorial movie, we think of them invading and then mass murdering human beings. Well... this movie is abit different. It's got nice drama aswell. Some might hate it but some might love it.

Personally I recommend the movie. So far, it's the most dramatic (In a nice way) alien/ extra territorial movie I've ever seen (E.T. sucks in comparison). I would definitely, definitely hire out when it comes out on DVD.

I was looking at District nine but the whole perspective from the cameras really doesn't do it for me (blair witch, cloverfield and rec).

A good movie? Walk Hard The dewy Cox story.

Just saw the movie and what can I say. Most Excellent.

OK there are many movies like it. When people see this movie's trailer, they may think "Aah it's just another end-of-the-world movie". Well hello, yes it is.
However when the XBOX360 game Halo 3 came out, people didn't prejudical about and said "Aaah it's just another Halo game". So why should they for this movie? It's been directed by the same guy who directed Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow. But the movie is only "upgraded" hence better.

I'll sum it all up.

Recipe of making 2012

1. Explosion
There are many spectacular movies out there. For example, Dantes Peak. But through out the movie, only some parts were exciting wasn't it? Like the scene where the mountain blows up or where the granny's leg gets burnt by the acid lake.
Well, take those scenes and make them better. More explosion, more details, more sound, and more ENERGY.

2. More action & detail
Now, lets take a look at the movie Titanic. But also only some part were very exciting, putting you on to the edge of your seat (I'm not talking about Jack drawing titties or the love making scene. I'm talking about the collision and the sinking scene). Well take that scene and make it better. Bigger boat, bigger wave, bigger sound, more falling obstacles and more people.
Oh, add the Poseidon movie's ship rolling over scene too.

3. Thrill
And now, add up Armageddon and Deep Impact. Blend those two nicely and squeeze out the BEST juice out of them. The thrills, collision waiting to happen, the drama and big mechanisms, explosion and the climax-is-going-to-happen-in-40-minutes thrillism.

Add ALL of the only best bits of elements above I mentioned, and make them even better.

4. Drama and plot
Now take that mixture and add hint of Shindler's List.

.....and make it BETTER. Then you get the movie "2012".

With no dobut, I give 10/10.

Further note: The movie is just so finely detailed. Every disaster scene is so epic (has excellent in-depth of field work done). When you get to watch this movie, either watch it in a big cinema with a big screen or with a big plasma/LCD screen TV. Orelse you'll miss all the small bits and pieces of action that occurs during the destruction scenes (such as subway trains poping out from the ground when the earth "crust" is lifted or every single people on the motorway falling off when the road collapses).
And lastly, Arnie is in the movie.

If you liked the scene where some small meteorites hitting New York in the Armageddon, like's hundreds of buildings collapsing like Jenga™, or just obsessed with anything that's higly destructive, I HIGHLY recommend you this movie. It's about 2 hours and 40 minutes long but it's not as boring as the Lord Of The Rings: Triology. Trust me.

Tonight I will see the Twilight saga: New Moon (Someone's dragging me to see the movie).

I can't wait for PARANORMAL ACTIVITY when it comes out next month.
Also Law Abiding Citizen when it comes out on 14th January, next year.

I've seen Paranormal Activity. I found it scarier than my girlfriend did. It's still more a movie for teenagers though I feel.

The Big Lebowski is on C4 at the moment, its hilarious.

Just watched it. Great flick. 8/10.

That's an actor playing Arnie by the way.

**EJK** · 19th November 2009, 02:01

Dang I thought he was the real one. Nevermind.

Just came back from Twilight Saga: New Moon "premere" Ooooh~

Honestly, really.... I'm not a very dramatic type of a guy. I won't give a rating for this movie because I cannot judge it. It's just not my type of a movie. It's quite confusing. That's all I can say.

Rating: N/A

**FlangMasterJ** · 20th November 2009, 08:20

Watched Funny People the other night.

Really good, really funny.

Funniest actor in the movie goes to Eric Bana who plays an Australian (brought back memories of Chopper).

8/10
