After Earth (2013)
A crash landing leaves Kitai Raige and his father Cypher stranded on Earth, a millennium after events forced humanity's escape. With Cypher injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help.
You know I am into sci-fi: I enjoyed this even if it was a little slow and I am glad I didn't pay at the cinema to see it.
Two lead parts played by Will Smith and son Jaden.

One thing still stumps me, why a blade and not a blaster?

If you like sci-fi watch it otherwise steer clear.
5/10

Independence Day (1996)

Yes, the original. I haven't see a post here for the new one so I thought to re-watch the original before going off to see the new one, Independence Day: Resurgence (2016).

Only the second time I've seen the original and yes, it wasn't bad at all.
Looking forward to Resurgence :)

8/10

IMDB

EDIT: Hope to see it within hours.... I checked the local theatres (American spelling :offended: ) and find it has gone 'off the charts' somewhat and only on afternoons....

The Bourne Identity (2002)

I am going through the Bourne movies and watched the first again last night.
A man is picked up by a fishing boat, bullet-riddled and suffering from amnesia, before racing to elude assassins and regain his memory.
Entertaining 8/10

Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)

Yes the second :smirk: as if I needed to tell you. I hear some say that it is all about CGI these days but it was entertaining and well worth watching.

You will see it 8/10

The pilot for "Preacher", a US series based on a graphic novel. Looks interesting. Really far out, though. The weirdest characters, horror-fantasy-mystery kinda theme. Will have an eye on.

Our Kind of Traitor (2016)
Storyline...
When Peter and his girlfriend, Gail, cross paths with the charismatic Dima on their Moroccan holiday, the forceful Russian is quick to challenge Peter to a friendly game of tennis. But this innocuous contest is not all it seems - Dima is a long-time servant of the Russian mafia, whose new boss, 'The Prince', wants him and his family dead. His only hope is to ask the unsuspecting Peter to broker him sanctuary with the British intelligence services, in return for exposing a vein of corruption that runs right to the heart of the City of London. Soon they find themselves on a tortuous journey through Paris to a safe house in the Swiss Alps and, with the might of the Russian mafia closing in, begin to realise this particular match has the highest stakes of all...
Ewan McGregor and Naomie Harris were great in their role but Stellan Skarsgård was exceptional IMO.
I'd say this is the best drama movie I have seen in some time so if you get the chance watch it.
9/10

Your Highness - 8/10

I expected nothing but was pretty entertained. Not over the top funny but a thing to enjoy with a beer on a slow sunday evening. For what the movie wants to achieve, it is done incredibly well: One of the better spoofs I've seen. The script is very simple but en par with the average marvel movie. Again: Since this is a genre spoof, you can't have a nonstandard plot.

The Bourne Identity (2002)
The Bourne Supremacy (2004)

I have the Blu-Ray box set :D so I have set about watching before I head out the the new release Jason Bourne (2016) here on 28 July. You know the story-line and all I can add is, if you haven't seen these you must 8/10.

*Yet to watch The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) and The Bourne Legacy (2012)

I did watch both The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) and The Bourne Legacy (2012) over the last two nights and enjoyed both.
I have a little more understanding now of the story to date which I hope sets me up for a good experience in the next installment :up:

I watched Ghostbusters in potato quality :)

Feig ? is a fucking idiot. I was wondering how so much dead pan ended up in this film and I didn't know he produced The Office. So there you go, The Office was shit.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be but it's pretty close. The black women was good, can't really say much more than that. Everything else in the movie was poor, writing / comedy / characters... name it and it was in the bad list.

You might aswell watch this instead -

This thing annoyed the fuck outta me too, it's one of those things you get at a fair ground -

[lvlshot]https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7219/26697759850_a88cfaaed4_b.jpg[/lvlshot]

It was just as bad as when I seen this -

[lvlshot]http://cdn.collider.com/wp-content/uploads/star-trek-into-darkness-bridge.jpg[/lvlshot]

See those 2 red things front and centre ?, well they're barcode scanners from 2002/3, I know cos when I worked in sales I needed to handle that model every fucking day. It ruined ST even more for me cos it just made Kumar / Sulu look like he was going to sell me a pack of fags. Whenever I see that bridge all I see is them >:E

Also GB, Jenine is played by Thor who was a bumbling idiot receptionist. Didn't quite see the point of that, Jenine was a good character.

I plan to be seeing Star Trek in the next day or so and I'll be looking for those 2 red things you point out losCHUNK :smirk:

Me, well not a movie but I have been watching a TV series called Indian Summers. Just finished the tenth episode here last night and on our ABC TV channel (advertisement free) there were no annoying advertisements to ruin the telling of the story episode to episode :up:

In two words, really good! Get a chance and the time it is a great watch.

Read about it on the IMDB and just for you the Wiki

Shit, that's what I was afraid of, seeing it tomorrow night. The series peaked with Ultimatum anyways so I don't have high expectations.

How was it compared to Legacy?

Legacy was miles better just because of the drone bit at the beginning. You know that motorcycle chase scene at the end of Legacy that's twice as long as it should be? That's pretty much the entire new Bourne movie with retarded "zoom ,enhance" technobabble in between.

Also, the acting seemed shit by everyone but Tommy Lee Jones. Julia Stiles lines were so awful it was laughable.

So dissapointing.
