<p>You guys are a bit weird. Male actors are only allowed to make their money in macho films?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The male macho-ness this place sometimes descends to is quite comical at times. ;)</p>

<p>No I'd prefer they didn't make films like that at all , but I guess theres an audience for them -women, men they force to watch them with them on the vague promise of a bonk, homosexuals etc. If I was an actor there's no way in hell I'd let my name be associated with something as awful as Mama Mia. I'd head back to my day job before I lowered myself to singing Abba songs with Meryl Streep and Firth doesn't strike me as needing the coin that much.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Colin Firth is a lot of things, I wouldn't include macho in the list.</p> -

Buuurn! Good counter punch -
Ok, I just watched A Million Ways to Die in the West ( or not another western movie with adult actors)<br><br>
It may be all the beers I had this arvo but I didn't hate it. I even laughed out loud a few times. <br><br>
Charlize Theron is fucking good to look at. Better with her kit on though I think -

<p><strong>I hate Sarah Silverman</strong>, the Hooker ^^.<br><br>
I was pretty meh about that comedy. There were good moments but it was pretty average overall.</p>

<p>Agree she isn't all that funny once you get over the shock value of her comedy , not sure if I can be arsed hating her. She's like a taller version of Alanis Morrisette who I do loathe, sample lyric- "no more transparent dangling carrots"? what the hell are you on about you loon?</p> -

<p>One mans utter shite is another mans best film ever tho' eh. Mamma Mia is one of the biggest box office movies of all time, as are the Phantom Menace & Tranformers 2, all are utter pigshit depending who you are talking to. It just depends who you want to make your movies for, women, the semi-retarded, kids etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I guess the difference between, say Sam L Jackson & Firth is both have been in terrible, terrible, very successful films for the money, but Firth can then switch & win a couple of BAFTAS in consecutive years, an Oscar etc, then do comic book action in Kingsman. That would be my definition of quite a good actor.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meryl Streep, from Mamm Mia is sometimes rated as an OK actress too for that matter.... the alternative is you do a Daniel Day Lewis & only make 1 movie every 5 years but its an oscar winner. Or you make 10 movies a year & they are all direct to DVD & you are Nick Cage & people go "weren't you good once?".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the review front,<em><strong> It Follows</strong></em>, sort of a low budget throwback to the 80's Halloween style movies, Really surprisingly good, felt really nostalgic, like someone had remade early 80's horor & given it a huge polish & upgraded it. Plus the chick is sort of "approachable hot" & a pretty good actress. Solid 7/10 (movie, not chick).</p> -
<p>I finally saw John Wick, Keanu Reeves version of Taken/The Equailizer. Good action film, the only female character of note was an assasin so it was suitably macho enough for TSF.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm looking forward to the revenge movie version of the Expendables with Keanu, Denzil and Liam kicking butt together all over the place.</p> -

<p>To think you were giving others shit about discussing thread counts of sheets on another thread not long ago. It might be time to reconsider the shift to Sydney..</p> -

<p>To be fair tho' the assasin is Adriane Palieki. So shes worth 5 or 6 normal women. </p> -
<p>Focus: The latest Wil Smith and Margot Robbie movie. So I was expecting a caper/grifter Oceans 11 style movie, which this kind of was, but it actually spent a lot of time as a rom com, but as one part of the rom com was Robbie at the least it was always watchable.</p>

Tits or GTFO

<p>Yeah there was none of that M4L. I was expecting it too, went to get the shirt off and I thought 'here we go, we saw full frontal in Wolf of Wall Street so surely she can't get squeamish about it now', but then we cut to a shot of her naked back.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I thought it was a bit of a silly movie with plenty of stuff that made little or no sense. But it rolled along at a rapid pace and I never got bored. A solid 6/10 I reckon.</p> -
Will Smith won't do a movie with tits
