Movie review thread...

Watched 'Just go with it' with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston.<br />
<br />
As a Sandler fan I was happier to watch this than the usual Rom/com, all in all, had quite a few laughs in this movie, have been forced to sit through alot worse ones in the name of love <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Saw Fair Game a couple of weeks ago. Took a while to get going but enjoyed the middle and end. Didn't realise before I watched it that it was based on a true story. <br />
<br />
Last weekend I watched Never Let Me Go. Really good movie. On of the better I've seen in the last few months. A movie that the missus will really enjoy too. -
Watched "Paul" on sunday night. Really enjoyed it - Great comic rapport between Pegg and Frost. Rogan was a very good choice for Paul's voice too.
-
Megamind and Despicable Me, both pretty cool kids films.<br />
<br />
Sanctum, about some fellas that go cave diving, and then find themselves stuck and needing to find another way out, largely predictable, but wasn't too badly done with a no-name cast. -

Agree. One of Sandler's more watchable flicks and one the missus liked. Some funny bits but overall 6.5/10. -
Little Fockers; I liked it, plenty of silly laughs, some good cameos from Harvey Keitel and Jessica Alba, along with Owen Wilsons character.

I watched Source Code over the weekend and loved it. It's no special effects extravaganza, just a really interesting sci-fi story. Jake Gyllenhall stars as a US military helicopter pilot involved in an operation to figure out who bombed a train bound for Chicago. The sci-fi part is that he has to review the last 8-minutes of memory of one of the dead passengers to figure out who did it. It starts off seeimg like a bizarre version of Groundhog Day but it really is unique and worth seeing. 8.5/10.

[quote name='Bones']Thor (3D) - thought this was pretty cool and I'd recommend it to watch. Not sure if it's the best 3D effects, seemed a bit average on that front but was a decent movie.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Yea, i thought it was cool as well. Nothing serious, just a good comic book movie. And i loved the 3D because it wasn't over done, more used to build depth in the picture, which has way more effect than shit flying at you every 3 seconds. <br />
<br />
This Avengers movie they are setting up had better be fucking cool. -
also a Captain America one coming, they may as well just get the Seal that did the kill shot for the lead...<img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

Apparently the Avengers movie they've signed up Captain America - Chris Evans, Robert Downey as Iron Man, Samual L Jackson, the guy who plays Thor. But it will be a new Hulk by the sounds of it. Inside word is that Edward Norton was a pain in the ass to deal with, so he's getting replaced.
-
Watched No Strings Attached, one of the new kinds of Rom-coms trying to attract the males of the world with smutty jokes, not to mention seeing Natalie Portman in next to no clothes helps too, if you dont like then, then Sneak will punch you in the throat!

New Hulk is Mark Ruffalo. Scarlett Johanssen will reprise her role as Black Widow. Jeremy Renner will be Hawkeye. -
Watched I AM NUMBER 4 and actually enjoyed it, aside from a minor part played by Timothy Oliphant and a dude who often plays baddies, was a no name cast. Is room for a sequel, but I think it is not worth making it.

Damn right, and kick you in the nuts when you are withering on the ground. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /><br />

Have to get my Natalie Portman fix with this movie and Thor - word is she is going to retire from movies which would be a disaster for mankind in general.<br />
<br />
On to some films I have seen....<br />
<br />
Catch 22 - Read the book and have always wanted to watch the film, Jon Voight is great as Milo Minderbinder though I was disappointed with Bob Newhart as Major Major. Good film overall. 7/10<br />
<br />
The King of Kong - Use to have an old Donkey Kong arcade machine at the shops down the road when I was a kid so this was a great nostalgic watch for me. Dunno how much of this doco is real and how much is "reality tv" (especially with the dorky villain guy) but you do find yourself cheering on the underdog dork as he battles for respect with all the other dorks. 8.5/10 -
First clip from the movie that I'm most looking forward to this year, [URL="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780504/"][I]Drive[/I][/URL].<br />
<br />

Kill The Irishman - based on the true story of Danny Greene, who was involved in the Cleveland Mafia in the 70's. Pretty good film, obviously unsure how close the facts are to reality, but still worth a watch. <br />
<br />
Probably the best film Val Kilmer has been a part of for many a year too!
