Movie review thread...

Speaking of Matt Damon.<br />
<br />
Saw True Grit (and at the movies i might add, not via Pirate Bay...)<br />
<br />
Vaguely remember the original version with the Duke, was a very well made movie with some great performances. Especially from the young girl.<br />
Jeff Bridges i thought was fine too, although its not a difficult role to play...crusty ole drunk with true grit...<br />
<br />
I know its based more on the story then the 1969 movie, so unsure how true it was.<br />
Just felt it didnt leave you much of a feeling at the end, i supposed they( her i mean) achieved what they set out to do, but seemed all a bit sudden for me.<br />
<br />
Still worth seeing, solid 7.5/10 -
[FONT=Tahoma]I really enjoyed True Grit. It did have quite an abrupt ending though. I did think it was a bit dark (lighting) in some places and I found it hard to understand what Jeff Bridges was actually saying.[/FONT]<br />

[FONT=Tahoma]Watched The Expendables and Predators on the weekend. Loved the dialogue in the Expendables. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Didn't really like Predators. [/FONT] -
Didnt really like how they portrayed the girl at the end all grown up (i guess its what happened in the book)<br />
As an adult trying to find Rooster, made her out as very unlikeable, not that she was much fun at 14! -
Fucking gay!!!!!!!! (and I don't mean that in the man-on-man sense ...)<br />

[URL="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/blogs/heat-vision/twilight-writer-melissa-rosenberg-takes-97481"]According to [I]The Hollywood Reporter[/I][/URL], producer Neal Moritz has brought in [I]Twilight[/I] screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg to take yet another stab at rebooting [I]Highlander[/I], the 1986 fantasy film about the magic of Scottish people. [/QUOTE] -

C'mon Sean's spanish accent was dead on! Just like his irish(Untouchables) and his American(The Last Crusade). Just an outstandingly gifted imitator. -

You missed out Russian sub commander as well, faultless accent throughout! -
[quote name='Razbra']Yes of course! I often forget that was Connery - Im just so convinced its an actual Rusky sub captain.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
It was probably the hair piece that confused you... -
Just saw the Kings Speech last night. I was blown away by Colin Firth, an actor I like but didn't think he had that sort of performance in him. The film is very good, and could be a good play too. Seemed to just wiz by, pretty funny too - and desperately uncomfortable at times too.<br />
<br />
If he doesn't win the best Oscar I'll be amazed. Actually made the hair on the back of my neck stand up in end, great stuff. And Guy Pierce was [I]fabulous[/I] as Mr Wallis Simpson. -
Total Recall was on Showtime Action last night. Fuck-king awesome. Arnie is without a doubt the worlds greatest action hero, ever.

Saw Avatar for the first time the other day. Yes the SFXs were amazing, brilliant in fact, but christ what a load of hippy cråp. Unobtainium? And whats the deal with plugging their hair into their pet pteradactyls? Sam Worthington is also a shit actor.<br />
<br />
Piranha 3D: Sublime horror flick. Perfect combo of blood, gore, humour and T&A. Must be really good in 3D at the flicks. That cock scene would never have been allowed even 5 years ago.<br />
<br />
Good Luck Chuck: Fark what a load of elephant shit. The gimp who plays Chuck is cråp beyond belief. God knows why Jessica Alba chose to be in the film but having said that I can't exactly think of a single good film she's actually been in. -
Saw True Grit last night . Thought it would have been a lot better if i hadn't seen and loved the origional so much . I thought none of the actors did as well as their counterparts in the origional .

Took mini-mariner to "Gnomeo & Juliet" yesterday. Its a pretty funny little kids movie with plenty of little adult laughs in it too. Plenty of famous voices giving it some star power. If you are in need of timeout with the kids, you could do a lot lot worse than sliding along to this one with them.

[quote name='Tim'][I]The Mechanic[/I] (2011). Pretty good disposable action flick. Entertaining and well paced. Statham brings the ownage.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Yep, agree, provides you with exactly what you expect from it...
