<p>The Rover - Guy Pearce and Cedric Diggory from the the twilight movies... set in Aus after the collapse in society (looked normal too me
) A trio crash their ute, and steal Pearce's Commy, and Pearce wants it back, bad! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>not a great deal of dialogue in this, but Cedric does well in his role as a bit of a dropkick redneck southerner.</p>

<p>A Million Ways to Die in the West - IMDB rates this as 6.2/10....with a pretty good cast, had its moments but overall, I'd give 5/10 for this 2 hr movie! Best thing about it, Charlize Theron: sure there were some laugh out loud moments and other chuckles, but was pretty average for large parts.</p>

<p>I didn't mind it at all - although you are correct in that Charlize is normally the best part of any movie. :man_in_love:</p>

<p>Watched another Korean movie. Either I'm picking the best ones they make, or they're making some excellent movies. This time it was <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1527788/'>The Man from Nowhere</a>. Excellent fight choreography, well paced, simple script with good acting. If subtitles don't bother you, find this and watch it. :good:</p> -
<p>I finally saw Guardians and while I won't say I loved it, I did like it a lot and laughed-out loud several times. Big Dave had more lines that I expected and looked great in the role. Everybody 'cept me & my two buddies had exited the cinema by the time the credits stopped rolling and missed a terrific scene with his character at the end. 7.5/10</p>

<p>Wasn't it the code word for the mission too? You may want to check bsgs post in the election thread addressing the word</p>
</div>

<p> </p>
<p>The mission itself was Operation Chastise. 'Nigger' was a codeword used during the mission for success at one of the dams. Used in honour of the dog, who died on the morning of the mission.</p> -

<p>Really enjoyed Edge of Tomorrow starring Tom Cruise. Interesting to him as a cowardly, kinda useless character for a change, at least at the start of the movie.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>That movie is just awesome, if you find the interviews where he explains his character they are worth checking out. Also the heavy metal bitch was very hot.</p> -
<p>I watched "Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World" again on Sunday. God that's a fun boys movie, i wish to god i had seen it on the big screen, i would imagine a fair bit of it would have been impressive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wondered why they never made a 2nd one. It seems they set up for a sequel. It was well received. It won awards. And then i saw the budget v receipts. ouch. </p> -
<p>Prometheus: Saw it on Sunday (think it was 4). Not that great considering the hype it has but I did enjoy the ending (I should have clicked when the acid blood appeared halfway through the movie).</p>

<p>It looked superb on the big screen. It did seem like it was set-up for a sequel, and the critics loved it. Maybe it was disappointing at the box office and producers didn't want to put the money up... or maybe they figured, hey we can just CGI the whole thing in a bathtub for half the cost and Creative said fuckthat (?). Dunno..</p> -
<p>Finally got around to watching Anchorman 2. I'll give it 6/10. Not nearly enough belly laugh moments and some gags just went on long enough to become painfully unfunny. (When Ron goes to dinner with girlfriend's family, the blind segment and that whole shark thing.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did like the station brawl at the end and the weirdo romance between Brick and Chani was kind of sweet.</p> -

<p>Gone girl, great film don't want to spoil it though. Sone superb acting in there, Rosamund Pike and the female cop in particular. Some female nudity in there too if you like that sort of thing and I most certainly do.</p>
</div>

<p>I really enjoyed it and thought that the new Batman was really good - but to say to much would spoil it. Took me a while to figure out who the female cop's partner was - it's the kid from Almost Famous.</p> -
Finally watched The Hobbit - desolation of smaug. <br><br>
As with others I enjoyed it, been so long since I read the Hobbit I can't recall what bits they made up, but seem to recall a bit more humour in the book in a few places than the movies have had. <br><br>
Tauriel is not, and oddly, Legolas looks more the part than he did in the LOTRs movies, guess Orlando is a bit more grown up himself now? -

There was a lot of stuff covered in the film , if I could remember how to do spoilers I'd post it. Even the white trash couple were great in their roles.<br>
Mrs Jegga has the book, I'll have to get around to reading it -

<p>Thought the first half was primo but it faded in the second half and was at least 30min too long. Enough laughs to keep the legend alive I reckon.</p> -

<p>I loved how they took ordinary mundane things and twisted them to extremes in that film</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">[spoiler] Couples who loathe each other but stay together for sake of the kids</span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The ex who still holds a candle for the one that got away and returns to him on the rebound and inevitably treats him like absolute shit and returns to the first guy</span></p>
<p><span>How women try to change their man but he only does the things you always wanted them too after you break up</span></p>
<p><span>Also it was interesting listening to her rant about her obsession with being the cool girl and looking hot for batman and then after she left gorging herself on shitty food, the mrs said she was trying to change her appearance by getting fat but that didn't make sense as she was going to kill herself anyway</span></p>
<p><span>Not to mention the trashy press coverage and the trial by media and her lapping up the attention afterwards [ffs the blood covered swoon]. In the book she wrote a book about her "ordeal" and made a fortune.</span></p>
<p><span>​And what awful entitled fucking parents she had writing books about a girl with the same name who had a more interesting and successful life</span><span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">[/spoiler]</span></p> -
Sex tape - Cameron Diaz, Jason Segal and Rob Lowe with a small part too. <br><br>
It was okish, some bloody funny bits, but goes off the boil for large patches...for those that way inclined, lots of naked rear shots, of both main actors....
