HoonDing Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Zodd the Immortal is in Superman? Guess I'll have to see it then. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Raithe Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 hm, guess they're going for a return to the Pitch Black style of film this time around.. http://youtu.be/qy1yMu9L88w "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Serrano Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 But wasn't Riddick the emperor of a fearsome space roman army by the end of the last film? How does he still find himself in such precarious situations?
Amentep Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 But wasn't Riddick the emperor of a fearsome space roman army by the end of the last film? How does he still find himself in such precarious situations? The plot really hasn't been revealed, but from what I've pieced together (and this is an estimated guess), Riddick is betrayed by the Necromongers and dumped on the planet and left for dead. Karl Urban's Vaako is rumored to be in the new film, so I'd suggest his death in CHRONICLES was a subterfuge and he's behind it. Why the new set of mercenaries come after Riddick and who is behind them is a mystery. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
sorophx Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 watched Sean Penn's The Pledge with Jack Nicholson. and holy ****. it's so good. Jack Nicholson plays a retiring detective who witnesses a particularly gruesome murder crime scene on his last day on the job. he pledges to find the murderer, whatever it takes. and as we find out later in the movie it will take a lot, as a matter of fact it takes all of him. 5/5 Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

Raithe Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzaii Across the 8th Dimension.. I can just rewatch this film a ridiculous amount of times.. http://youtu.be/0gNJ1z-ulB4 http://youtu.be/lOzZVGpjkLg "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
LadyCrimson Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 watched Sean Penn's The Pledge with Jack Nicholson.Hm. Never heard of this one. I'll have to check it out. “Things are as they are.

Volourn Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 That was actually a pretty good movie. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Serrano Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) I saw a movie called 'Brake' yesterday. The entire film is one guy stuck in a box with a radio. Literally, the film never switches to other characters or flashbacks, it's just one guy in a confined space for one hour and twenty minutes trying to figure out why he's there and escape. And it's brilliant, I cannot believe they kept it entertaining and suspenseful for that long. The ending is reminiscent of Mass Effect 3 where you wish they'd cut to credits just a little earlier but I'm glad I watched it. Edited June 21, 2013 by Serrano
Oerwinde Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Oz: The Great and Powerful. They could have done a lot better than James Franco, and while Mila Kunis is perfect as Theodora the Good, [spoilerS]once she becomes the witch of the west she is badly miscast.[/spoilerS] Overall I enjoyed it a lot. Some of the obvious scenes jammed in for 3d felt out of place in 2d, but the design work was well done, and the nods to the classic film fit perfectly. I particularly liked the china doll character. Her effects work was excellent and her voice actor did a fantastic job. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Blarghagh Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Jack the Giant Slayer. Big giant meh. Okay popcorn muncher with some clever bits and terrible creature effects.
LadyCrimson Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Jack the Giant Slayer.I was pretty disappointed in that one. I wasn't expecting awesome, but it wasn't even all that entertaining. And yeah, some of the effects were pretty lackluster. “Things are as they are.

Blarghagh Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I dunno, I was entertained. Just not by what they wanted me to be entertained by. Ewan McGregor's extremely wooden performance was particularely entertaining.
Hurlshort Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Identity Thief - Pretty funny comedy. Nothing groundbreaking, but entertaining enough. We've been watching a lot of movies in the RV. I'm enjoying the Nick version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with my son, it's very well done. Also we watched an animated movie called Escape from Earth that was more entertaining than expected. Oh, and Frankenweenie, which was sad and scary and very much a Tim Burton flick.
LadyCrimson Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 Hansel and Gretel, with Jeremy Renner. I was expecting something a little more absurdly amusing ala Army of Darkness. Since it wasn't, I'd give this one a low score. But it did have what appeared to be a Siamese Twin witch with bizarre, horror-creature like fighting agility. “Things are as they are.

Malcador Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Saw Man of Steel, it was ok I suppose. The fights could have been more DBZ like, was really hoping for a beamlock with Zod and Superman Why has elegance found so little following?

Labadal Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Not a movie. Watching Arrow. This guy is Rambo, Batman and many others all in one. I think they overdid it a little. Still enjoying it, though.
LadyCrimson Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 Crimson Tide. Hadn't seen it in a while. It's no Das Boot, but it's still an entertaining flick. But mostly, I just miss Gene Hackman (in films..he's still alive). “Things are as they are.

Amentep Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Watched MAN OF STEEL and enjoyed it. Also watched Battle Royale for the first time; it was good but I feel like there's some sort of overarching theme that I'm not quite fully grasping. The film feels like its making a statement, I'm not 100% sure I got the statement though. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet?

But mostly, I just miss Gene Hackman (in films..he's still alive). Also has one of Hans Zimmer's best pieces, in my opinion, as well. 1 Why has elegance found so little following?

Volourn Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 So Undercover - Why did I watch this? i dunno. Paint by the numbers. Mostly entertaining but nothing earthshattering. It seemed to take itself a little more seriously than i thought it would. 6.5/10 DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Labadal Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Gangster Squad. It was better than the last few movies I have seen.
Woldan Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Oblivion.Generic Sci-Fi film, bad illogical ending, plotholes, predictable story. Andrea Riseborougs acting was very good though, Tom Cruise was mediocre as always and man, an old rotten tree stump can act better than Olga Kurylenko. 4.5/10 I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
sorophx Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 This Is What Winning Looks Like a very interesting documentary on the Afghan War and how US troops withdrawal from Afghanistan is going to affect the country. It shows the filmmaker follow a troop of Afghan National Army on operations, it also shows Afghan National Police and its corrupt commanders. He talks with a US Marines major, who reveals some of the gruesome thing going on on a daily basis, that are considered by a lot of afghans norm. I won't say it's eyeopening, but it confirms my worst fears about what goes on in that country. It's up on YouTube, and if you're interested in Afghan War and NATO's current role in "bringing peace" to the country, definitely watch it. 1 Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

Orogun01 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Yeah, I saw that a while ago. Kinda makes me lose hope, so buyer's beware. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
