Anyhow...

Last night
Blu-ray.


Did not laugh even once.

The ultimate suck.

Only made worse by the talent involved.


I should have watched the rugby, Seeing us choke before the world cup even starts would have been more entertaining.

1214358 2011-08-28 03:12:00 Thanks Metla will check out Moon
I watched Skyline two nights ago, waited for the terrible movie all the critics said it was, it was ok worth seeing once
Tucker and Dale vs evil.. Some real good bits in it but overall average
Due Date was probably the worst of the three.

EDIT: and also got out "The Town" for tonight. Looks great

1214359 2011-08-29 01:33:00 I watch a lot of movies so I'll just do the last two, although I enjoyed Paul so our tastes are probably quite different.

Cowboys and Aliens. 4/5
I really enjoyed it, which was a surprise after a lot of negative reviews. good action sci-fi flick set in the old west, not a lot of depth but enjoyable. I think people go into it expecting a cheesy funny B-grade type sci-fi and are dissapointed because it's a straight up action/sci fi.

Priest 3.5/5
Alternate universe vampire movie. Maybe vampires are just a little over done lately but this one is ok, has a slightly post apocolytic feel about it. The title character is a warrior priest retired by the church after defeating the vampires years earlier who defies their orders to go after his niece after vampires abduct her.

The priests seem to have supernatural powrs and the vampires are a seperate species blind from birth. Has good action sequences but don't expect any form of realism (the priest uses fist sized thrown rocks as stepping stones as they fly through the air)

My personal take on most movie critics is they are so busy analysing movies for every little flaw and congratulating themselves on how smart they are while looking down their noses at almost everything that are are incapable of enjoying 90% of popular movies.

1214360 2011-09-10 22:01:00 Watched Moon last night, very good movie. Was not what i expected at all. 8/10
Watched Just go with it, Adam sandler movie, quite good 6/10, then Hall pass same 6/10
Sucker Punch gave 6/10, story ok actions scenes were wicked
Skyline good 7/10 thought it was better than battle los angeles

Got Highlander for tonight, havent watched that for years, and District 9 as i rate that as one of the best movies of all time and could watch it 100 times and not get bored

+1 Dugi on the critics

1214364 2011-09-11 00:34:00 Devil
Blu-ray.

excellent.

To elaborate a bit.

Its a low budget movie, small cast of no-names, And nearly the entire movie takes place is a single small setting.

And you can pick plenty of faults in the movie and holes in the story, but for all that they pull it off very well, I'm always impressed when a movie set within a single set works well (Bound, Cube as a couple of examples) and this one does.

I was entertained from start to finish so i can recommended it, But there are some elements about it that may annoy some people.
