<p>It appears to have skipped the cinemas and gone to DVD already.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can't believe all the positive reviews Mad Max is getting, now I'm going to have to cough up the $20+ to go see it even though the trailers left me cold. Grrrr.</p> -

<p>Thank you! </p>

<p>Maggie - Big Arnie in a more dramatic role as the dad of a teen who has been infected with a Zombie virus and she is slowly 'turning' (happens over a course of days/weeks) and they have camps where the zombies go once turned.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not quite what I expected , sitting there waiting for Arnie to kick some ass, just never happened...bit of a slow burner.</p> -

Thought it was rubbish.

Maybe I'm easy to please but it looked great story was good, the action was relentless and the Miller world rebooted well. It's no war and peace but it doesn't pretend to be -

<p>For me:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- Terrible dialogue</p>
<p>- Even worse acting</p>
<p>- Stunts were cool, but got boring and repetitive after 2 hours of the same thing</p>
<p>- Max wasnt even the main character, movie should have been called Furiosa: Fury Road</p>
<p>- Tom Hardy's "Australian Accent" :hang1:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And for a civilisation who values oil and water so much they sure do waste a lot of it! haha (This isn't a criticism just found it funny)</p> -
<p>[i]The Duke of Burgundy.[/i]<br><br>
Seems like it has exhausted the possibilities of [i]erotic labour and fatigue[/i] (I know ...) after 30 mins, but keeps getting better. Very good film. Digital cinematography is crisp but captures the period atmosphere it aims for. Occasional encoding flaws (macro-blocking) on blu-ray.<br>
</p>
<p>It's slower than many of you would like, but you probably will crack a bone.</p> -
<p>Finally watched all 3 hours of Interstellar and really enjoyed it until the end which didn't make sense to me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler]How did Cooper (<span>McConaughey) end back at our solar system and beside Saturn? I know he shakes hands with Anne Hathaway's character in the wormhole but is that to suggest the blackhole placed him inside it?</span>[/spoiler]</p> -

<p>Kingsman: The Secret Service</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Absolutely fucking loved it. I watched it again immediately after it finished. Best ending ever!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Colin Firth completely redeems his earlier outings in "Pride and who the fuck cares" and all those other movies where he plays he essentially the same guy.</p>

<p>Watched this last night and thought it was pretty cool! Loved the way it played up to the genre and mixed old with the new, thought Samuel's Tyson character was so funny I laughed pretty much every time he spoke! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Only when the credits rolled did I realise Luke Skywalker was in it too!</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>I could only watch this on mute as at work but it looks quite cool.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I even said "Oh wicked!" out loud in the last second of the preview</p> -
<p>Less Mad Max reviews on here considering the hype engendered by the trailers around here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Watched a couple of movies over the past week:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Son of a Gun: Aussie movie staring Ewen McGregor as a criminal who takes a young guy under his wing in prison and then they get up to shit when he gets out. Going in I thought it was an entirely prison set movie and the prison stuff was great. But still a decent enough watch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Judge: Lawyer movie (very John Grisham style although not John Grisham) in which Robert Downey Jr has to return to his hometown to defend a client. Was pretty decent if a bit long.</p> -
<p>No, no, no, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Ok, so I didn't think a trailer could put me more off wanting to see a film than the Mad Max one ... until now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They may as well have just walked over and pissed on Swayze's grave - and now we know why Keanu looks so sad on the park bench.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>M4L - I can't actually make out what Chang is saying.</p> -
<p>haha i picked the one with no subtitles because i thought everyone knew that gif by now!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That trailer looks soooo fucking shit. Why does everything have to be in fucking teal now? jesus christ! seriously, fuck that movie. </p> -
<p>just for you Nepia...they shold just not use the name Point Break, change the names and make it another generic type rip off film...but the way they have done it, ripping off the original, it will always be compared to (and fail to live up to) the original, despite the fact it looks a fair bit different!</p>

<p>What is odd is that I'm a huge Community fan - I'm loving the latest season on Yahoo - and I've no doubt seen the gif before too.</p> -
<p>This is a movie trailer for Point Break....the original Point Break which included cameos from the lead singer of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, the dude from that show The Mentalist, Dr Perry Cox and mention of New Zealand right at the end.</p>

<p>Yep, it's already been remade as the Fast and the Furious which was decent and spawned a mega franchise - if they'd called it something completely different, and had different characters they might have sucked the rest of us in like they did Hooroo. ;)</p>
