Movie review thread...
-
I watched T4 - Salvation last night. It was okay. Not great and I think it made a really big mistake of focussing on the Marcus character and not enough on John Connor. The cameo by Arnold (read CGI) made my son's day.<br />
<br />
BTW: Kirwan - I think I'll be seeing Where the Wild Things are on the weekend ... Dear God. It's my turn to take the kids to the flicks and use up the tickets we got. I can tolerate most kids' movies. Most of them are a laugh, but I got stuck with taking the kids to New Moon when it came out. Our daughter loves it and son wanted to see the Werewolves. It was right up there (or down there) with Sisters and the Ya-Ya sisterhood thing or the traveling pants or whatever that rubbish was. Avoid like the plague. -

Yeah thats what i thought, on the whole enjoyed it more than the last terminator flick.<br />
Another nice touch was when he played the GnR song from T2 on the boom box... -
I fianlly saw the Liam Neeson flick "Taken" on the weekend. I thought i was pretty fucking cool. Liam's character is cold, and hurts people, a lot. Loved it.

The original idea was John Conner wasn't really going to be in it, and McG approached Bale for the role of Marcus. Bale said he would only be in a terminator film if he could play Connor so they rewrote for him. Just one of the many reasons why the film turned out to be so stupidly shit.<br />
<br />
As for Where the Wild Things Are, I think it's been marketed terribly. I don't think it's a kids film at all, be interesting to see what your kids think about it. It's more of a throw back to older films where they didn't patronise kids if it has to be tagged a kids film.<br />
<br />
I suspect they'll be bored shitless though <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -

im no sicko but the torture scene is required viewing.[/quote]<br />
<br />
Yeah, quality shit. Think you can find my review of the movie somewhere on this thread - it's all about cutting the bad guys off mid-sentence by shooting them in the head. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
The [i]Guardian [/i]has published a review of [i]Avatar[/i] - 2/5. But they did say this: "It really is like a Yes album cover come to life."<br />

I thought it was a decent enough flick and Neeson was undoubtedly extremely farkin cool but it was ruined a bit by having him dispatch numerous bad guys with barely a scratch a la Jean Claude Van Damme or Steven Seagal. -

Um well [spoiler:2zpo5zom]yes he coulda done, I was having a few drinks when I watched it. As for your last comment thanks for that Arnie xzxblum1[/spoiler:2zpo5zom] -
[quote name='Hooroo']That was the coolest part of the whole movie leading up to that quote!<br />
<br />
Probably my equal fav movie I watched this year. Equal with Rocknroller[/quote]<br />
<br />
It was like the old school Arnie or JCVD films, but with better acting. -
[quote name='Hooroo']Jean Claude Van Damme???[/quote]<br />
<br />
Its a movie title starring JCVD as himself and he basically takes the piss out of himself for it's entirety. Its apparently very good.<br />
