<p>and Children of Men.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>and Shoot em Up</p> -
<p>Only time I've liked Clive Owen was in Closer. Her was outstanding in that. Especially given how bad that film was. Actualy yeah, he was good in Children of Men too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He's like the male Naomi Watts</p>

<div><br><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>

<p>Loved Get Hard, its just 50 minutes of dick jokes, with 30 minutes of race jokes. Really great guilty laugh. Looking forward to Get Hard 2. Not sure it'd be a good date movie as I'd be laughing away at the 45th prison rape joke while some poor girl looks at me thinking "god you're a child".</p> -

<p>Children of Men is my most overrated film ever. I saw it quite a while after it came out and so many people/reviews were saying that it was awesome and I just found it tedious. Not sure if I would have found it less tedious if no Clive Owen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've always found Watts hot, so have been happy to watch her in movies ... although I doubt I'll ever watch that Diana film she made.</p>

<p>The Raid 2: A bit longer the original, with more story and dialogue, which meant it dragged a bit but still a great action film. Great scene on a subway train with a girl beating the shit out of some guys with a hammer.</p> -
<p>I liked Children of Men, but then I hadn't heard any hype about it before seeing it (which is often the best as it doesn't have to live up to expectations). Owen's character could have been played well by any number of actors but he wasn't terrible either. The 'tough but bewildered and vunerable' type character is the one that is his natural.</p>

<p>holy shit. The Star Wars teaser trailers get better and better. This movie is going to make all of the money</p>

<p>All this hype is starting to worry me ... I don't want to feel the disappointment of The Phantom Menace again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hopefully Abrahms doesn't blow this ... and no freaking lens flare!</p> -
<p>Episode 1 is the 16th highest grossing film of all time, and that's without adjusting for inflation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This will beat that, easy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am willing to bet any amount of money i enjoy this movie. I am willing to bet any amount of money you will find a shit ton of people who hate it, based purely on their prejudice before they step into the theatre (waaaah, it's not the Empire Strikes Baaack, look how fucking sophisticated i aaaammm, pay attention to me dammit!). BUT, they will still step in to the theatre, and that gross will be enormous. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Star Wars does funny things to people. There is no way Abrahms doesn't know this, he's well aware of the feelings towards the prequels, he isn't going to make a piece of shit, it'll destroy him. </p> -
<p>As long as George Lucas stayed the fuck away during the writing and production stage, then it should be ok.</p>
<p>You can picture him ringing asking Abrahams if hes included Jar Jar or something fucken stupid.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My guess is they had a picture of Lucas at the gate with strict instructions to keep him the fuck away from the set.</p> -
<p>I don't care how much money it makes (it will make bucketloads) - I just want it to be a good film. The Phantom Menace actually went bloody close to being good (Darth Maul, Podrace etc).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think they've decided on less CGI this time round too.</p> -

<p>Fucken yeah!</p>

<p>I don't get Batman v Superman. I mean one guy has super powers and bullets bounce off him, can fly at supersonic speeds etc and the other is just a human in a suit that can fight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Seriously, Superman should be able to zoom up to Batman and before he even realises it smack him once and obliterate him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Or have I got this all wrong?</p> -
<p>Superman sucks! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But yeah, otherwise agree; I prefer Batman, but ultimately Batman is just a super-well organised vigilante!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not to mention they are both 'good' so why would they fight??</p> -
-
<p>Superman needs to have other worldly villains to fight otherwise its all bullshit shit really.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>His conscience is the only thing that stops him from ripping people apart. We are all sick of goody goods and want to see Superman go tits out a la Wolverine rage type stuff.</p>
