<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 />

[quote name='LAKiwi']He's now got a series on one of the reality channels, where he's a cop. And they just follow him around. Pretty sure it's him. Haven't watched it, but seen it on the guide when I'm flicking through the channels.[/quote]<br />
<br />
That's Seagal. JCVD would spend all his time in the evidence room. -
Just watched Avatar in 3D . Amazing , must see movie. I reckon it will make James Cameron even more squillions. It has a basic plot (just like Star wars, Superman etc) but is so well done ,only the most cynical (cue to fern reviewers) will diss it,

I was skeptical after seeing the preview but saw a more in-depth show on it last night and it does look pretty amazing. What I'm wondering about is it if humans are able to to develop the technology to travel such vast distances and turn a guy into an alien how come they don't have the tech to make him walk again? -
[quote name='Razbra']Has any one seen JCVD? Heard good things but never actually got round to watching it.[/quote]<br />
<br />
I saw it and was expecting good things due to the reviews. Personally, I found it boring and just couldn't get it into it. I still found there were a few good scenes though. -

Fuck, that was exactly what I was thinking. And if they can warp through space how come they have planetery energy problems? Can't turn that part of my brain off now. -

They do , you will have to watch the movie. My suggestion definitely watch the 3D version. -
I do love the fact that folk can readily accept 10 foot tall blue aliens but question the scientific legitimacy of future health care standards & feel they lack realism <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> <br />

Not a review, but I shit myself in excitement yesterday when watching this - <br />

I know its probably going to more 300 than Gladiator, but fuck me its a cracking trailer<br />
<br />
Oh, on the review front, saw A Serious Man, very very good movie but seemed more like an exercise in film making & less like a film. One of those for people to talk about how wonderful it was to make others feel they are deep thinkers, like the way people cite Citizen Kane as a clasic despite it being boring as all fuck. Still, it was pretty good, but more in a Man Who Wasn't There way from the Coen Brothers, rather than Burn After Reading or Lebowski -

I fucking know dude. Sam Worthington must have holes in his jeans by now... But how good does this look. Its like Jason and the Argonauts on roids. <br />
<br />
On the Citizen Kane thing, but from way out in left field, I remember years ago reading a Empire interview with Steven Seagal. He claimed that [i]On Deadly Ground [/i] was his Citizen Kane. I had not seen Orson Welles yet but decided to watch both. How fucken confused was I. <br />
<br />
I was only 17 though. -

Yes good point but but I still find it weird that amidst all these aliens and impossible technology theres a guy sitting in a wheelchair. Kind of like how in Star Wars Anniken has to keep walking around with that gold mechanical contraption for an arm.... I'll stop now.<br />
<br />
Cheers for posting that trailer. Shit that looks cool.<br />
<br />
BTW Citizen Kane is a great film though I admitt that if you knew about Rosebud before watching then it could be a bit boring. -
Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus eusa_whistle <br />
<br />
Bear in mind I got this out in the hope that it would be "so cheesy and bad it would be good" in a Snake on a plane type way....<br />
<br />
Sheesh don't fucken bother. Shocking shit on any number of levels with the horrific acting only surpassed by the horrific special effects. They were so bad they actually showed the shark swimming in the same shot about 10 times. Not only can a giant shark leap out of the water and bite a jumbo jet out of the sky a giant octopus can swat a supersonic jet. <br />
<br />
I think the giant monsters were only on screen for a total of about five minutes. The rest was spent with Deborah Gibson ( remember her ? shes still not too bad ), an asian guy and an irish guy mixing liquids and doing scientific stuff for no apparent reason. <br />
<br />
Remember my initial sentence, "so bad its bad, no so bad it's good...."<br />
<br />
1.3/10 -
Inglorius Basterds, this movie is 2.5 hours long.... xzxscratch_one-s_head <br />
<br />
It is an ok movie with a decent enough story, but it is 2.5 hours long, it was not good enough to be that long I am afraid!
