STONE

No not that recent one, but the Australian 1974 original ... and yes you read correctly.



Wiki Clicky

I know it is 35+ years old but sill a good view. Sadly showing its age, but nice to see old OZ ; 5/10

Shit, I remember buying the vinyl LP movie sound track album :rolleyes:

Batman: Under The Red Hood -

Not too bad at all, enjoyed it quite a lot. Nice to see Bats more hardcore like it should be, instead of the tripe they have in the films.

Salt -

Had no idea what it was about before watching, but ended up quite enjoying it. Sure its not the best action movie ever, but it kept me more than entertained, and kept me guessing the entire time.

Me too. But I'm not having high expectations of it anymore. I thought they'd parody the whole 80's/90's action movie genre but it's all way too serious.


YMMV.

The main problem I had with the movie is that it was promoted/hyped as a big-name ensemble cast action movie. It seemed all the big names were in the movie for a total of about 20 minutes (Arnie and Bruce Willis were in it for only one scene...about 3 minutes) and the action - while good - was too few and far between. I enjoyed "Salt" as an action movie much more than this tripe.

lol, my gf and I guessed the "twist" 20 minutes in. It's a Bourne movie with physics-defying stunts...minus the intelligent plot.

The other guys 7.5/10

pretty fucking funny and the plot was much better than it usually is for these types of productions.

the expendables - 3/10
after rambo, was expecting a lot more from this. the cinematography really let it down, and for an action movie that's a really bad thing to mess up. the script wasn't much but the movies it draws on weren't shakespeare either and it does have more than it's share of decent one-liners/scenes (mostly from dolph lundgren and terry crews). randy couture barely gets a look in and whoever steve austin is could've been replaced with a promotional cutout.

didn't find it boring until (this isn't really a spoiler) there was a part with what sounded like hold music playing while people murdered their way through dark corridors. it went on for fucking ever without being fun or adding anything to the story. in the next scene, someone asks stallone how he got there - he replies with something like 'i just am'. if they'd completely cut the previous five minutes then that line might've gotten a laugh or made him seem like a ninja. instead it just made him look like a prick.

De Storm.
It's a Dutch movie that's set during the flooding of Zeeland, the most south western province of the Netherlands. The visuals are quite impressive, especially for a Dutch production like this, whose budgets are often only a fraction of the big Hollywood disaster movies. The acting is OK but the story could've used some work. It focuses too much on one person's personal drama and not so much on the whole flooding. All in all I found it an enjoyable movie and it once and for all proves that Dutch movie productions have left the rather laughable quality of "Turks Fruit" and "De Lift" behind us.

I give it 7/10.

Sorry, I dont follow Angelina Jolie so close as to be able to draw pictures of her and post them on the internet. I watched the film was a laugh, not for a fank wank.

P.S. lol girlfriend.

Scott Pilgrim - 7/10 - cute flick if you're into that sort of NES/comic/geek thing. at least as good as i thought it would be, at least in part due to Kieran Culkin (who hadn't done much since Igby in 2002).

Pretty damn awful. This was simply a waste of time to watch.

The Expendables -

Great flick, an 80's action throw back with balls, muscles, women, explosions, blood and violence. Did exactly what it said on the tin. Enjoyed it.

It's not satire? :(
Assumed it was tbh, how can they put all of those names in one movie and fail at the satire?

I don't want a fucking throw back to the eighties, who in their right mind would? I just want to laugh at how ridiculously over the top action flicks from back then were.

Salt 2/10
Unbearable. It's not often i can't finish watching a movie, but it happened. It's not even stupid enough to make you angry.

Yeah I was disappointed at this as well when I heard it wasn't satire. It could've been so awesome if it was.

Hey I'm just glad JCVD wasn't in it... After watching the new Universal Soldier, I don't think he could have coped...

Never have I seen a man in a film look so tired, all the time... I really wouldn't have been surprised if he yawned in that film...

Old age is a killer...

Gun Crazy 8/10

I really liked it. Somewhat cruel and vile for it's time. Could be a great remake if done again today...

So I'm assuming then that the trailer doesn't consist of the only funny bits in the entire movie? If so, I'm really looking forward to this one.
