Yeah I liked Harry Brown, made me never want to go back to England.

30 Minutes or Less

Hilarious.

Yes a brilliant movie as I remember.
I must go get it and view again.

The folks that have mentioned Harry Brown might want to check out 'The Veteran'. It's very much in the same vein and i disliked it about as much as Harry Brown, so maybe you'd like it to an equal degree.

Brutal Relax (7/10)
Stylish Spanish 15min short about a man who needs to relax.
It's potentially NSFW/WTF/against TOS so won't link to it directly but googling the title will list a lot of places to watch it (scifiworld.es seems to have the best copy).

Stripperland/Your Highness (combined, 3/10)
One of these had lots of boobs and the other one had Natalie Portman's arse. Both of them had really fucking lame jokes and all the charm and warmth of an airport cafe.

is harry Brown a good representation of reality? It's hard to believe that punks off the street even have the right connections to get a hold of guns and other weapons. I figured, the video with that chav packing a meat cleaver is a bit more of an accurate depiction.

Saw Jane Eyre last night at the movies



I thought a girl flick but was impressed.



Look, a literal 'plain Jane' in a great movie script and great film direction.

Funny, I saw the preview and though a ghost/scary movie.

8/10

If you get the chance go and see it.

Drive Angry: -9,874,356,611/10

I would rather stare at a clogged toilet in the sleaziest, nastiest taqueria in the filthiest, poorest village in all of Mexico for two hours than watch this movie again. I have no idea what Nicolas Cage was smoking when he agreed to do this film, or how many pounds of dipshit dust he snorted while he was making it. The plot is paper-thin and completely retarded, all of the characters except for William Fitchner's are terrible and dull, and you go from thinking "What the fuck is this guy? A demon? A demon hunter? A drunken fuckwad?" to "Wow, this ending is as predictable as the ass pain you'd get from running backwards nude through a dildo factory".

Not even Amber Heard's short shorts and general hawtness are enough to elevate this film to mere shit. It's godawful and I'm now that much dumber for having watched it.

FUCK YOU, NIC CAGE. FUCK YOU AND DIE.

Anyone see the new Final Destination yet?

That shits been played...

I'd say for the most part, yes, it's a good representation. As for the old man 'deathwish' style vigilante played by Michael Caine, lol, no.

Yes, it is in theaters being played right now in fact.

no, it's very much exaggerated for effect. gun/drug/organised/sex/vanilla/mint chocolate chip/whatever crime are all available here, but to nowhere near the extent that recent films/tv or curtain-twitching oldsters like drum would have you believe. the chav/cleaver video (despite being real) is also sort of misleading, most kids here don't carry and most of them aren't total fucking morons. we do have problems that need sorting out, but this "have your cake and eat it" action/social commentary crossover genre really doesn't help.

Drive Angry - why the fuck am I even watching this/10
Basically what NS said, had actually blanked it from my mind until now.



Jesus, there's a bit in Drive Angry where Nic Cage is fucking this prostitute in a hotel room during a gunfight and he makes her cum while he blasts them all to hell and it still sucks and he still isn't cool. Nic Cage is the diametric opposite of cool, he's like the acting equivalent of futurepop.

You really think a lot of that stuff doesn't go on? Do you even live in a south london estate? No. Now get back under your rock, fucking moron.

Within one city block and to that extent? No, it doesn't. Harry Brown is pantomime that gets to cash in on both handwringing and bloodlust, it's a page from the Daily Mail in full-motion 3D. South London might be shit enough to get the unimaginative out looting Poundland but it's a long way from South Central LA. Might not stay like that if we carry on fetishising the worst elements of American culture, but right now it's a lot easier to pick up 12 different kinds of low-fat hummus than it is ammunition.

..and no, I haven't lived in Brixton since the 90s. After that I was in Toxteth and Old Swan in Liverpool. I still visit both cities regularly and frankly there are people claiming deprivation and hardship in South London that don't even know they're fucking born.

Edit: Being harsh on the film, which Michael Caine alone makes worth seeing.

Lol, that was pretty funny, I'll give you that.

THe ending of the new final destination was pretty cool... didn't see the spoiler coming at all

Source Code

Not as good as I thought it would gonna be. But still quite enjoyable. 7/10
Link to the script that was way better and had me at high expectations:
http://www.joblo.com/scripts/sourcecode.pdf

While I'm at it, link to a script that is rumored to have been sort of mangled into the new Alien movie by Scott himself:
http://pdfcast.org/pdf/shadow-19
I don't really see what Scott could pull from that script that would be useful for a faithful Alien movie but it would make a great flick on its own.
Who should play the lead, what do you think? I can't think of a young actor around 30 to play that role in these times. It would have been perfect fodder for Willis, Sly or even Arnold. But those days are gone, I guess.

And you are still alive to post? Bravo sir, BRAVO!

Yep, saw Cowboys and Aliens last night.

We went to one of those cinemas we call Gold Class. You might have 'em too. Licenced* premises where and food/drink is hand delivered to you recliner (electric now I see) lush seating.

The theatres* have around 50 person capacity. You pay like 3 times the price per ticket of course for the priviledge, and the food and beverages are expensive. Personally I don't like eating a meal in the pictures myself.



Pretty good night really. Oh and the movie Cowboys and Aliens.

Great. Well done from all aspects IMO.
Entertaining and worthy of a 8+/10



*Americans and their English spelling

Cool theater.

wait, are those ashtrays?

No, wine coolers

swish!

While I am sure they have a coat check for your top hat, where is one to keep his walking stick? Do they service monocles if perchance you have a smudge?

lets hope they don't serve beans there
