<p>shoves you over a cliff</p>
<p>Putting Katherine Heigl and rom coms in the same sentence is a grievous insult to all rom coms. She doesn't appear in that glorious genre, more horror, I'd say, playing a series of neurotic psychos who lure idiot men to their doom with a cute BFF, then torture them with grating shrieks and incomprehensible dialogue until they surrender, a hollow shell of their former selves.</p>

<p>In romcom world, KH is she of whom we do not speak. There must be a guy equivalent - someone who plays the same role over and over and is so bad you wonder who is being blackmailed to green light the shit arse movies.</p> -
<p>NIck Cage (that oughta get Nepia going) </p>

<p>Huh? I've never been involved in the Cage hating that infects this place and I've never been that willing to defend him from the dross he's been making for money these days.</p>

<p>My apologies, I don't know the rules of the romcom world. Kate Hudson then .... ducks for cover.</p> -
<p>I think you are the only one who has defended him, ever
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In saying that, I hold out hope he might do a good one one day, unlike one of his recent expoits, The Dying of the Light or something, which was utter shite! </p> -

<p>Probably because this place went all feral and decided that Face Off, The Rock, and Leaving Las Vegas were shit as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At any rate, I think the last movie I saw him in was Kick Ass so you seem to be in a better place to judge his recent performances than me. :)</p> -
<p>Well I liked Face Off (like Travolta as a baddie) The Rock and Con Air, but I dare say anyone coulda played the roles Cage did in them to equal or better effect

<p>No one could equal or better Cage's hair in Con Air!</p> -
To answer mokey's question, I often wonder how Jeremy Renner and that aussie fluffybunny who did avatar and the Titans movies keep getting work

<p>KATE HUDSON?? FFS. Somebody hold my purse.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And have to agree re Nic Cage. Hard to believe how far that dude has fallen with scripts. Ditto for Adam Sandler. He must have dirt on half the execs in Hollywood.</p> -

<p>:) I think I best stop now while I'm um ... ahead?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regarding Sandler, apparently he's all about work life balance now and his films all make money. So he gets a budget, hires his mates, they go make a movie, it makes money, he gets a share of the profits.</p>

<p>I don't get the Renner thing either, and the Hurt Locker which shot him to prominence was overrated. TBF, I think he can be ok in supporting roles because unlike Worthington (Titans) he can actually act.</p> -
<p>Sandler also (part?) owns a production company too doesnt he? Happy Madison or something that most of his movies are done through which is why he and all his mates are in them. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Was always gonna be downhill after Happy Gilmore! </p>

<p>I'll see what Tana is upto! </p> -
<p>Worthington will have to stay on the stage to keep Ms Bingle in the style to which she's accustomed. And little Rocket Zot.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(On a side note, I have a great deal of sympathy for the offspring of people like these two clowns. I hope the wee boy can get to the deed poll office before he's too traumatised.)</p> -
<p>Nepia, what is your definition of "these days"? Cage has been complete Barry White for years.</p>

I'm only watching Stallone movies now.</p></blockquote>
I rewatched Rocky 4 the other day. It was on and I had nowhere to be.<br><br>
That movie is 90% musical montage. Entire songs are played from start to finish. Surprisingly Frank Stallone was not among them...<br><br>
But I haven't seen that movie since I was a teenager and did not remember how little talking there was and how much of a music video it was. Seriously it was crazy. -

Did anybody else like the last Rocky movie? I like that movie for some reason. Something about an old guy getting that one last shot gets me every time

<p>I love that movie. I'm a sucker for sporting underdog movies, no matter how unrealistic or cheesy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For my money, it doesn't get any better than Rocky's speech to his son about how life isn't all sunshine and rainbows.</p>

<p>Saw two Hollywood movies this weekend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Furious 7: Watchable like the other Fast and Furious movies although not enough The Rock and Jordana Brewster for my liking.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Get Hard: I was worried that I would completely hate this movie, it has Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart. They can both be annoying, Ferrell's baby man shtick can wear thin quickly if not in the right movie and Kevin Hart's motormouth shtick can reach Chris Tucker in The Fifth Element levels bloody quickly. But, this movie was pretty good and bloody funny at times and their shtick didn't overwhelm it.</p>
<p>As an added bonus had Alison Brie looking damn hot (hotter than in Community).</p>
