Morgoth Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 The Eagle. Not as cool as Gladiator, but still a must-watch for gladius and sandals fans. Some very little twists in the story keeps you entertained till the end. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pidesco Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Labadal fails at film watching. I saw the X-Men the other day and it was very enjoyable. Great performances from both leads and from the villain. McAvoy and Fassbender really make the film work. The plot is a bit iffy especially with emotions and the girl playing Mystique was terrible.

Raithe Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Romeo Must Die.. - To my mind, a woefully underrated film. It's entertaining, it's got some outrightly chuckleworthy lines/scenes, some snazzy outfits, some amusing martial arts sequences, and one stunningly hot lady (which always hits the slightly mournful that Aaliyah had that unfortunate plane crash..)

Completely agree. There are some movies where I basically have to wince every time the female lead is on screen (because they are so gorgeous, there are others where they are so bad, but I digress)... I've somehow managed to forget some, but Romeo Must Die and Desperado are definitely on that list. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

LadyCrimson Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Well, Battle:Los Angeles wasn't anything like I expected. Not that I'm sure what I was expecting. It played more like a "follow the cut off & besieged military unit, hoo-rah" war movie....except the enemies were aliens. Up until the very end, I was actually kind of enjoying it because of that - vs. it being more ID4 like, say - but the ending was weak. Nothing special, but a lot better than Skyline, imo. “Things are as they are.

Hurlshort Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Bad Teacher - Probably more entertaining because I went with a few teachers. Justin Timberlake was great, as was the guy from Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 True Grit - The newer one. It was fantastic. Just about everything a western should be. My wife didn't like Matt Damon as a Texas Ranger though, but I thought he was good. It could have had more Josh Brolin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithe Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 The Mechanic - Jason Statham being Statham. It was solid enough, quite different than I expected. But they gave it a happy ending! I mean, sure it was competent and fairly good for what it was. But hollywood changed it to a happy ending! "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

I mean, sure it was competent and fairly good for what it was. But hollywood changed it to a happy ending! I didn't see the original, didn't it have Michael Cain in it? I'm sure that would have colored it for me. It wasn't really much of a happy ending. After Statham's big truck blows up, he walks a little way and gets in a bigger truck. Is that really happily ever after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original had Charles Bronson in the role that Statham played and Jan-Michael Vincent as the Apprentice. Directed by Michael Winner. And in the original, he dies. No last minute reprieve, no slow rewind to show an escape. He was dead, he expected it. (and yes, he still had that setup and the message left for his "apprentice") "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blarghagh Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Ain't that the truth. Saw Rio, which mostly impressed me with it's animation of birds. Otherwise, good for what it does, but what it does is what a billion animated movies have done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tale Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I'm hijacking for "DVDs you've seen recently." Just finished up Babylon 5 season 3. The final two episodes really put the Soap Opera in Space Opera.

LadyCrimson Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Saw half of "Old Dogs"...it was free. But even for free, half was enough & I turned it off. You'd think with Robin Williams there might be at least a few laughs, but no. Not the worst or anything, but just nothing to keep me watching, heh. “Things are as they are.
