[quote name='mariner4life']Saw Avatar in 3D last night. Fuck me. Coolest thing i have ever seen! Just brilliant. James Cameraon is about to have more money than god and oprah combined. Last time i was this blown away was after the first Matrix, which is now my favourite movie of all time. I may do a visit to the imax in Auckland later next week for a repeat. Astoundingly good, i can't rate it highly enough. And i agree the blue chick was hot.<br />
<br />
PDP i love Kingdom of Heaven too.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Great news my way is that the SkyCity theater in Albany is now showing it in 3D.<br />
May have to go see it again:) -
[quote name='Hooroo']Funny you should mention her as I wiki'd her just the other day along with Tiffany and all the MAS*H crew too.<br />
<br />
Colonel Potter is 95 this year!!!! and has outlived a lot of the younger cast. I still think there is no better acting than Hawkeye's laugh. Gee it is contagious[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Harry Morgan is a legend alright, had to believe Mash first aired in 1972!<br />
Love that show, still watch it often at home.<br />
<br />
Hard to go past the first couple seasons where they tormented Frank Burns. <br />
Legendary Tv. -
Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Completely stupid but both hugely imaginative and funny. Almost moral free, just crazy fun! One of the best kids movies I've seen not done by Pixar.<br />
<br />
Mr T and Bruce Campbell voice a character each and are hilarious. -

Saw a anniversary show once and the guy that played Burns was the most popular member of the cast, he sucked up all the punishment he got on the show without a complaint and the rest of the cast loved him even more for being such a good sport about it.The last episode is still some of the best tv I've ever seen. -

Tiffany and Debbie both did playboy a few years ago to get some .......... ahem.......... exposure. -

<br />
Yeah I saw that as well. Harry Morgan looked old but still had all his marbles.<br />
<br />
Apparently the last episode is still the most watched episode of any show ever. -
[quote name='Hooroo']US still had shed loads though back in the early 80's didn't they? I was there in 89 and had well over a hundy channels to choose from.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
We had plenty of channels for many years, going back to the 1980s. And even back then there was nothing but shite on TV. -

BOTH Batman films ? well fuck me dead. I'd throw in 28 days later, Inglourious basterds, Gran Torino, Revenge of the Sith.....and many more I can't think of. Shit like Moulin Rouge, Amelie ( I assume cos I've never seen it ), Finding Nemo and Pirates of the Carribean have no place being there but like "Rugby teams of the decade" these lists are always pretty dubious.

I am a big Kid and love Nemo. My son watches it maybe 1 time every couple of weeks and I am yet to get bored of it. Yeah and Im a bit of a romcom poof and enjoyed Amelie. Same with Pirates it was like an old school Errol Flynn movie redux. Im a Batman and Judge Dredd nerd so both films are good with me. -

For some reason I hated Pirates, maybe it was Orlando Blooms fault. <br />
<br />
Bale does make an excellent caped crusader. <br />
<br />
Finding Nemo will make its way into the MN5 movie collection once the young fella is old enough I'm sure ! -

Moulin Rouge was crap, it was huge here in Oz but anything with Kidman in it and/or directed by Baz Lurhman gets huge raps here regardless of how good it is or not. Just like the last one they did..Australia? Even the shorts looked shocking and I hear not even Hugh Jackman could save that one.<br />
<br />
I wouldn't have rated Slumdog in this list, nor Batman or Pirates. I think Elizabeth should be up there and what about RocknRolla ?<br />
<br />
Saw Avatar 3D a few weeks back, it's very cool.
- Moulin Rouge! (2001)<br />

Went to the movies last week for the first time in like ... ever (well - months ...).<br />
<br />
[I]The Princess and the Frog[/I] for Miss boo jr. <br />
<br />
Enjoyable.<br />
<br />
Was a cartoon rather than CGI but still cool.<br />
<br />
Thought they would lose the little kids early on as it took a while to get to the frog part, and thought Mbj would be scared by the Shadows from the Other Side but she wasn't - so all good.<br />
<br />
spoiler For those who see it - I did like how Ray got together with Evangeline! Sad but happy. spoiler -
The Tournament - every 7 years a bunch of the best assasins compete for loads of cash and kill one another. Loads of mindless action, Ving Rhames as the lead - 5.5/10<br />
<br />
The Time Travellers Wife - drama, a tad confusing in places with all the time travelling all over the show, not to mention the rather, um, almost perverted premise to the whole movie, but was ok for what it was 6/10<br />
<br />
Re-watched Kalifornia, top flick, and some great acting by Bradd Pitt as the likable but dangerous Early, shame few of his roles since have tested him much, but he is a great actor! (Se7en, Burn After Reading and Inglorious Basterds)
