The Movie Review Thread

Lol Pacific Rim was one of the gayest movies I have ever seen. Terminator/Rambo/The Matrix/Die Hard/Alien only action movies one really needs to watch. Seems peoples entertainment levels are slipping these days.

Snowpeircer was pretty good in my opinion.

I watched a indie horror called "Mr Jones" the other day which I thought was pretty good. Not as good as Wolf Creek 2 though, piratebay taht shit, its awesome

how can you call PACIFIC RIM "gay" and then rave about something called "SNOW PiERCER" with the inference that that isn't "gay".

and using "gay" as a pejorative? really?

I went to Godzilla based on the IMDB rating expecting great things. I was largely unimpressed once I left.

I enjoyed zilla. went there for the destruction and got that. Went to Noah for destruction also as I thought the Old Testament portrayed God as such an angry being - and what I got was rock creatures that were like the one from the Never Ending Story.

Took my son to see X Men days of future past yesterday, really enjoyed it. Has a good storyline, great visual effects and lost lots of action, and some humour so all round a good un. 8/10

And totally agree with comments about Godzilla, what a pile of crap, painful storyline and not much of Godzilla, which is just as well since it still looks like a bloke walking around in a rubber monster suit, just like the old Japanese black and white films (yes I'm that old)

Old Testament god = new testament god btw.

The Rock creatures were angles that got kicked out of heaven (they got the horn for human women apparently) they came to earth and created half breeds with man, taught man lots of things about space, metals technology etc. Some people think that this half breed was where Goliath came from. You wont find this in the bible tho (questionable accuracy and controversy) , you'll have to read the book of enoch. The film took a lot of creative licence for turning them into rock monsters tho (along with pretty much the rest of the film).

went and saw CHEF at the flicks not long ago, pretty good movie - feel good type.

Washed up Has been chef rage quits, then gets a food truck and saves his life, career and marriage / kid.

No real sad bits, all pretty good stuff, light fun and reasonable funny bits. And not gay at all.

Watched 47 ronnin the other day - Japanese sumarai type movie.

has keanu reaves (not a fan) but he was actually OK in this as he didn't talk too much.

Pretty good movie, focus more on the story (revenge/restoring honor) than the action/ gore. Which i like.

Were they a bit too obtuse?

[The Pastor]

Were they a bit too obtuse?

That is a good thing since that is the look they were trying to achieve.

X-Men is a fantastic movie. Better than Avengers I say!

I know I shouldn't, but

the book of enoch is less accurate than the bible. Check. seems legit.

Dunno what your getting at, but this is a hollywood movie - they can (and did) make up what ever they want.

If your having a dig at the bible being accurate(in terms of its content), you'd be hard pressed to find an educated person claim that the bible isn't accurate. Its one of the most copied books in history, with copies in many different languages - all having very good accuracy between them. Look up the dead sea scrolls.

If your saying the bible isn't TRUE, that is you don't believe it, well that's cool?

The book of enoch (i think) only has one partial copy found, that's only one of the reasons it wasn't included in the bible as we know it today tho - there are plenty more ancient jewish books that arnt included also.

oh you're one of those.

have you met ed?

[george formby]

LOL. Dead sea scrolls? 2000 year old book? Er, whatever.

Any hoo, 47 Ronin. Watched it up until they go for broke, quite enjoyably, but it's a strange mix of special effects & cheap locations. Keanu uses both of his expressions to typical effect which helps the fact his script writer is a person of few words. Nice bit of stylized Japanese escapism nevertheless.
Might watch the end Ron.
Heh.
