<p>There have been whispers about a Goonies re-make for years. "For a new generation." It'll happen.</p>

<p>How I live Now; about a teenager sent to live with her Aunt and cousins in rural UK (from the US) and only days after arriving War breaks out in the UK. Some good acting (the young Irish? girl from the Lovely Bones) decent enough story, but not quite what I expected.</p>

<p>I've been introducing TR Jnr to alot of the classics like The Goonies (I havent watched for a couple of years, but he watched it again on the weekend) <strong>Star Wars (in the right order)</strong> Indiana JOnes (Not the newest one) etc</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope they dont do a remake, the original still holds up pretty well against alot of modern day films, some things are best left un-hollywoodenised!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Oooh! What's the right order?</p> -
<p>am guessing by that question, it likely differs from your view, but mine is the order that they were made.</p>

<p>I'd probably go with that as well. Luckily I never had to answer the question as I introduced my son to the first three before the latter three were released.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then there are the other ideas ( <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://static.nomachetejuggling.com/machete_order.html'>http://static.nomachetejuggling.com/machete_order.html</a> ). In a way I agree with the machete order although no matter how crap Ep1 is is does seem a pity to lose it.</p> -
<p>The To Do List: A weird comedy starring Aubrey Plaza from Parks and Rec as a nerdy girl who is about to head off to College (uni) and is a virgin and comes up with a list of things to do sex-wise before she goes. It was quite dirty in parts but no nudity that I can remember (sorry M4L).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It had lots of TV actors playing small roles in it including Troy from Community, Mrs Coach from Friday Night Lights, the quarterback who was paralysed in FNL, Agent Caulson from SHIELD etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's set in 1993 so fits perfectly with my life cycle!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also watched Pacific Rim and was extremely disappointed.</p> -

The story is too good not to rehash.Seems amazing there was never a number 2. There was a Goonies 2 video game but no film unfortunately.<br><br>
Regarding kids films, the recent Muppet Movie is also a cracker. -
<p>watched "Seven Psycopaths" last night, and found it brilliantly entertaining. Sam Rockwell is fucking funny, Christopher Walken plays Christopher Walken (and is therefore also funny), and even Colin Farrell is likable. </p>

<p>Saw Filth at the weekend. Adapted from Irvine Welsh's novel about a degenerate Scottish detective on the edge of a sex, booze, and drug-addled breakdown.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was curious to see how they were going to film one of the book's particular plot lines but was pretty disappointed about how they handled it. It's also verrrry Scottish, along the same lines as Trainspotting in language terms. Sometimes you just don't have a clue what's being said. But, James McAvoy is pretty decent as the cop veering between the evil bullying of his colleagues and friends one minute and plumbing the depths of despair the next.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Very funny in places, but a bit too much of a knockabout.</p> -
<p>Red 2 - decent action film with a few laughs, with the likes of Mirren, Willis and Malkovich just having a bit of fun!</p>

<p>Saw the Hunger games sequel as it was a family night at the movies. I enjoyed it though as a reviewer pointed out in places its a much longer movie that they obviously trimmed down for the theatre release, the last book is being made in two parts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jennifer Lawrence is hot as I explained to mrs Jegga in a "gettable " way, when she asked what I meant I explained that if you told the right lies and and your mates werent around to ruin it for you you might have a shot with her. She replied "told . the. right. lies." and the trip home was very quiet afterwards, no idea why.</p> -

<p>Lawrence is a funny one. i don't reckon she looks all that hot in her movies, but you see her flashed up for a premier or something, with her tits all hanging out the front of her dress, and she looks fantastic. </p> -

<p>I find her face to be chubby, it probably isn't but looks like it on the screen.</p> -

<p>Thats kind of my point, seems pretty normal in interviews too.</p>
<p>She didn't look chubby in her dancing gear in the Silver linings playbook to be fair.</p> -

<p>Definitely not. She's not one of my favourites, but she looked good in that dancing gear.</p> -

<p>Golan and Globus are The Shit. Shaking hands with Her Majesty QEII, fucksakes! I well remember about a year after that doc was made driving with some friends in the Catskills in New York and the car broke down. We had to get the thing towed, and hitched a ride to a KOA camp to pitch a tent and stay the night. It was nothing like any campground I'd ever seen in NZ. When it went dark they dropped a sheet and screened a video of Invasion A. About 300 campers showed up to watch (!!!) completely absorbed, some drinking beer and getting Ronald Reagan jingo war fever. My buddies were hippies, they were freaked-out and wanted to escape, but we couldn't, so we smoked some weed in the bushes, stayed at the back watching the movie and laughed our asses off.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The scene with Aaron Spelling is funny. The guy's a billionaire eating off a paper plate with plastic flatware. That knife looks like it's not even making a dent in his lasagna.</p>
