"unsere mütter unsere väter" aka "generation war"

It's a German miniseries (3 episodes of roughly 90 mins each) about 5 German friends in WW2. two of them are brothers who join the Wehrmacht, one of them becomes a nurse, helping wounded soldiers, one of them is a Jew and one of them follows her dreams of becoming a famous singer.

The story starts off real good in ep 1 but goes a bit all over the place in eps 2 and 3. There's some encounters between the friends later on that seem unlikely, but if you can get past that, it's well worth a viewing.

The production value is amazing, there's scenes there that remind of Band of Brothers, with lots of action. The series focuses more on the human side of things though, so the action density is a lot lower than with BoB.

It's also interesting to see the story from the German side as they roll into Russia. You feel sympathy for these people, which is something American television makers shy away from too much.

Under the Skin
Wat/10

Just plain weird. Lots left on the audience to make sense of...yeah one of those, but the ride wasn't even that intriguing. Very bland, from start to finish. You really have to dig deep to feel any type of connection or conjure up any meaning.

I watched Men in Black 3

I watched Doom

if the gaps the Rock leaves between the words in his lines were edited together, that could make an amusing half hour youtube video

Snowpiercer - 3/10
Boring. Ridiculous plot. Horrible CGI (the windows that are supposed to look outside look more like watching footage on a TV). Missed opportunity for a great ending.

Went online afterwards to read the scathing reviews for a laugh. Turns out everybody loves it. People are calling this a symbolic masterpiece. Don't listen to those people though; this movie is rubbish.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Good solid movie, that said being a fan of the originals.
Great SFX and makeup as you'd expect. Well worth your time.

8/10

Calvary (2014)

Solid and enjoyable movie about a Priest whose life is threatened by one of his parishioners during confession. A movie you have to think about if you know what I mean.

I don't know if you have spotted Brendan Gleeson of late. He was in another good movie called The Guard

Enjoyable black comedy if you like. 7.5/10

IMDB

Well Optimus Prime riding a robotic fire breathing T-rex into battle with a sword sounds good on paper but it kinda falls short on the big screen

[seremtan]

Skyfall - wank/10 - Javier Bardem was the only good thing in this cumgargling shitfest of a movie

the new Q is a massive bell-end, and replacing Judi Dench with Ralph Fiennes isn't going to save this franchise from a one-way trip to fail town

Kick Ass 2 - 5 / 10

I enjoyed it when I watched it. But I have low standards. This movie is crap. Some funny ideas though.

[Whiskey 7]

The Last Starfighter

Yes, you know the film

Synopis: A teenage boy gets a record score on a video Starfighter coin op game that summons aliens to collect him to join their defense force as an expert gunner, teaming up with a reptilian alien as his Gun Star pilot

It was nice to see residents of the trailer park were not to worried about a first contact.

I will not rate as it is that old and just say it is OK.


Oh, and clicky here for google images to remind you.

Stargate 1994

The movie that stars Kurt Russell and the original film that started the franchise.

I'd love to say a classic of course. You've all no doubt seen it but I hadn't since just after release.

Enjoyable 7/10

[CZghost]

I like Stargate, especially the series. Fanda now broadcasts Stargate Universe, which is unfinished I think.

Always wanted to see that but never had the chance
.....scans local video rental shop, and how are they disappearing so quickly (The video rental shops)

Email to local to see it it is avail so thanks lars63 for the prompt

[xer0s]

Anyone seen Guardians of the Galaxy yet? They say it's really good and it's getting incredible reviews. I'm surprised. From the trailer, I had it pegged for a goofy, cash cow, with little potential...

[losCHUNK]

I loved it, I'm a fan of the Marvel movies anyway. Not all, thought Thor 2 was pants, Iron man 2+3 were lacking. You also need to remember The Avengers was getting great reviews n all, that's a movie I also liked and thought was the best of the franchise, along with Iron Man before this come along.

It's got a talking Racoon and tree so you can only take it so seriously but it does have a more serious underlying tone to the entire film that separates itself from the rest of the franchise imo, It's not all about the visuals, explosions and action scenes. If you like some Marvel films then I'd expect you'd atleast like it, if you don't like the franchise then I guess it would have an uphill struggle to please you anyway

yea i mostly agree

still tho the foot chases are pretty cool in the new movies

i think they will eventually do a throwback/retro thing

[seremtan]

"eventually"?

the whole franchise is a throwback retro thing. a British spy in a tuxedo who spends all his time sipping vodka martinis? all he needs to complete the look is to drive around Big Ben in an old model Mini with a bulldog in the back and a Beatles soundtrack on the 8-track, surrounded by elderly women in headscarves with bad teeth and appalling dress sense shopping for potatoes

.......Email to local (video rental store) ......

So I sent that email and it was answered

Hi Whiskey 7,

Sorry for the delay.  We do have the "Thirteenth Floor" but it is an ex-rental.  We can either sell it to you for $4.00 or change it to a rental and charge $3.30 for the rental of the movie as it is a weekly. Let me know what you would like to do.

I replied

Hello Cheryl.
Yes I will visit probably today and buy so if you could arrange it be under the counter that would be grand.
Thank you for the effort here.
Cheers
Whiskey 7

Well I rocked up today to pick it up and staff were searching their shelves for it as the store just opened and I guess they'd read their emails.

I assisted and located it easily but guess what? It was now marked for sale at $2. Two dollars Believe it

[seremtan]

you should post that story on reddit
