Movie review thread...
-
<p>Furious Seven - usual suspects, plus Kurt Russell, Djimon Hounsou, Jason Statham and the oh so hot Nathalie Emmanuel (think she is one of Nepia's faves) </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I liked it, plenty of BS crashes, car chases and explosions, lots of fighting, all you need is some nekidness...just a big action film with lotsa car chases in awesome cars than a movie about cars and illegal street racing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thought the end was a nice nod to Paul Walker too.</p> -
<p>Black Hawk Down is fucking rad</p>

<p>Yeah I like vintage films too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And no, I do not want to welcome your balls onto my chin.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you.</p> -
That Sugar Film.<br>Quite entertaining and educational even if the main guy is a bit of a gimp. Sort of like Supersize Me, but he instead eats heaps of those sugar-filled "health foods". What annoys me about films like this is that there is no personal accountability. Apparently people are forced by "corporations" to eat all this shit. The 99% fat free, sugar bomb "health" products are a worry though.

<p>B grade movie week (or so);</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Dark Rising Watchtower</strong>: Zombie film where there is a cure for the disease, managed by medication, but after a dud batch a break out of the disease...5/10</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In this, Zombies have a bit more thoughts, able to use weapons</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Darkest Day</strong>: Another Zombie film, Brit one this time, a young guy wakes on a beach and goes in search of other uninfected folk. 5/10</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In this, Zombies can run fast! </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Supremacy</strong>: Not a Zombie film. a member of the Arian Brotherhood who has just been paroled, one thing leads to another and within 24 hours he has taken a black family hostage. Suopposedly based on a true story, but always skeptical of these as to how much is true. 6/10</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the Zombie films, with the advent of these new age Zombies with brains and the ability to move at a pace more than an injured walk, I will need to re-think my strategy for a Zombie apocolypse, still think my site is sweet, but will need some tweaking now! </p> -
<p>So TR, the outward facing treadmill defence is now redundant you feel?</p>

Bloodsport! JCVD at his 80s best

<p>Love & Mercy. Biopic of Brian Wilson with Paul Dano playing him in his 20s and John Cusack in his 40s. The story is how he became mentally ill when he was making Pet Sounds and fell under the control of his psychiatrist played by Paul Giamatti with implausibly shaggy hair. The lovely Elizabeth Banks plays the love interest. A heartbreaking and at times worrying story with absolutely top notch acting.</p>

<p>Sharknado. The most batshit crazy film I've ever seen. You have to admire how they ignore all logic, science, nature, human dialogue, continuity etc.</p>

<p>Most of the real good ones have been taken but - Quiet Earth, Scarfies, Housebound, The Navigator, Stickman, Sione's Wedding. No.2 if you want something slightly different.</p> -
<p>Ah Quiet Earth, was trying to remember that one!</p>

<p>If we're including American/NZ movies then add Battletruck to the list. For a homegrown NZ action film there was one with Temuera Morrison called Never Say Die.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also Sleeping Dogs.</p> -

I love the quote from mr Gormsby "the piano a film about a deaf mute that begins with a VoiceOver from her".
