lol yea that's fair enough, I did say better than SyFy ;).

And doubt it, it's just something worth checking out if you havn't seen tho. It hasn't got a memorable plot.

Timecrimes ? -

Weird you mention that movie. That's one of the best movies I ever watched.
Also spammed this thread urging ppl to see it, I think.
If you want to see time travel done right, watch this. Primer was ok, but this is the shit.

If you seen that then there's no point in recommending you anything else :D

I found it completely by accident, I watched this film which has a similar story then somehow found a comment about Timecrimes on a review site (I liked this movie) -

Which I also found because I was looking for this that ended up being shit as fuck -

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0452573/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Timecrimes is quality though, mentioned it a few pages back but seeing as I like these kind of films anyway I wasn't sure if I was showing a personnel preference like I've obviously done with LDoM :up: .

Yeah, seen those, which were also quality.

I'm disappointed there are so few films that deal with the subject matter so honestly and accurately, though.
I mean, this fascination with time travel, I think everyone has it.
But movies dealing with it usually get fucked up, with other trivial shit getting in the way, as if the concept itself isn't interesting enough.

Ender's Game - 2/10 - Granted, I've read the book many, many times. But it would have been far worse if I hadn't. The movie just didn't make any sense. They tried to squeeze everything in, which left it like reading every fifth page of the book. It's less a story and more a list of characters (luckily everyone's wearing name tags) and things that happen for no apparent reason. You have no clue what's going on, what the characters' motives are, who the characters even are, etc etc. Card clearly just wanted the paycheck and let Gavin Hood do whatever he wanted... with the product being even worse than XMen First Class (which also didn't make any sense).

x-men first class was a solid 6/7 out of 10, so I guess ender's game is like a 5?

I'd heard of Ender's Game but never took an interest. I actually lolled at the trailer when it came out.

It's been apparent the last few years that Harrison Ford either just doesn't care anymore or he's relegated to being typecast as a grumpy old man....which ironically is how I envision an older Han Solo.

I forsee a very disappointing appearance of Han Solo's character in the upcoming Star Wars films (of COURSE Han Solo will appear in every one of them...gotta make the money from the toys and the soda drinks and the Burger King tie-ins and the Millenium Falcon lego set and makin the money and takin in the cheques and gettin the cheddar....duh)

my fault, it's X-Men Origins Wolverine that he did and not First Class. I stand by my 2/10.

Gravity in IMAX 3D - 10/10

Gravity without IMAX 3D - probably 7/10. Good movie.

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

Yes sat through it last night. Don't believe I have seen Chris Evans before this movie but he did a reasonable job IMO.
Hugo Weaving always does a great job. I did think he was a Australian :smirk:

Worth a watch? Probably. 5/10

IMDB
Hugo Wallace Weaving was born on April 4, 1960 in Nigeria.
The middle sibling of three, Hugo has an older brother Simon and a younger sister Anna who both also currently live and work in Australia.
During his early childhood, the Weaving family spent most of their time traveling between Nigeria, Great Britain, and Australia.

Come on Whiskey...everyone knew Hugo Weaving was Australian because Australians never stop talking about how "real Aussies" don't like Hugo Weaving.

I think he's terrific, but Aussies normally don't. :p

No, seriously I do like him as an actor :up:

I especially enjoyed the part he played in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)

Sure you've probably see it but here's a quick hint as to the content..
The plot follows the journey of two drag queens and a transsexual woman, played by Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, and Terence Stamp, across the Australian Outback from Sydney to Alice Springs in a tour bus that they have named "Priscilla", along the way encountering various groups and individuals.

Hobo with a shotgun 7/10

A parody of 80's Heston vengeance flicks i guess - it goes all out in assaulting the viewer with extreme violence, implausible dialogue and other stuff we associate with 80's cinema.

Pretty funny stuff i thought.

Tomorrow, When the War Began (2010)

Think Red Dawn of 1984 starring Patrick Swayze

Australia is invaded, a neighboring nation after our land/resources to share :smirk: Eight unlikely high school teenagers band together to fight the invaders.

Nothing special but watch worthy. Actors did well for newcomers to their industry IMO. Probably low cost but the credits tell a different story: There are so many names listed.

6/10

IMDB

The Wolverine
8/10

Some of the special effects are astounding; the story's quite good; it's got some good action in it, good martial arts sequences; but the main baddies are unimpressive and the ending is not very good.

Just watched for the first time on your recommendation. 9.5? Seriously? Above average cinematography, predictable plot and an unsatisfying conclusion. It held my interest but only barely because I like noir. 7/10.

grabs your attention, moves along nicely, but quickly goes to shit as soon as that chick gets strangled...and then it transforms to a poorly done 'for TV' film. 6/10 cause lets face it, the last 1/3 was garbage

yeah, it's weird: it got critically panned in the US, but was well-received in Europe. i like the atmosphere and the pacing and the understated way Polanski approaches material that could so easily be just another Da Vinci Code. Johnny Depp is pretty good in it too

i guess it's one of those movies you either love or hate
