LOL. Unluckily my grammatical skills are terrible. So I'm terrible when it comes to apostrophe placement. Though I am very particular about my type of English. I was raised under UK English, and find the inclusion of US English into Australia quite infuriating. No offence to American's, It's just a cultural thing.

Oh, I watched Red State

In my opinion, I felt it was one of Kevin Smith's best films. The only downside is it felt kind of rushed. It's a shame Kevin Smith has given it up, because this movie showed me that he had the ability to create something far more thought provoking than pop culture geekdom. 4/5

Bridesmaids

I really don't get into comedies that much. I'm probably boring, and in turn find comedies boring too? Bridesmaids was not the case! This movie was downright hilarious! Unluckily I had a cold while watching this, which resulted in an extremely sore chest from too much laughing. 4.5/5

I watched, on DVD, half of 28 Days (that's 28 Days, not 28 Days Later) before our DVD player died.

Last night on TV I watched Dodgeball.

God I love Alan Tudyk.

Last night I watched Hop and Priest.

Really enjoyed both of them. Hop was a big hit with the children and Mr Brand's voice didn't grate against me as much as I thought it would!

Priest was good, nothing like a vampire movie before bedtime :S

The ending was not bad but that kind of story needs more of a twist ending, surprise ending.

I watched Due Date, (which i thought was hilarious) and Paul. (Less so, but still a funny movie.)

Completely agree.

I saw Horrible Bosses. Pretty funny, better than I expected.

In (approximate) reverse order:



Inception - not the movie I was hoping for (a bit like Avatar in that respect), but nonetheless, entertaining and fun. Either I missed an important plot point or there was a gaping loop-hole that allowed the ending to play out as it did. I might spot it in a re-watch. I'm encouraged to see diCaprio has matured into something like an actor, though.

I Am Legend - ah, the acting thing again. Will Smith really is very good. CGI vamp-zombies were disappointing, but the story wasn't.

I think all films with dogs should begin by telling us whether the dog dies or not....

Dark Knight - Impressive (I hadn't noticed being annoyed by Bale's Bat-voice in Batman Begins, but it grated here), especially the leading player, Ledger's Joker. Most comics adaptations suffer from too much history and back-story, thankfully Batman had Frank Miller's re-boot to provide everything necessary for an entertaining franchise. Keep 'em coming.

Wolverine - Meh. Ok, but unnecessary.

Green Lantern - Too much history to draw from, too little imagination from the film-makers.

Green Hornet - Much better than it had any right to be.

Transformers - What in the world made them think this would make a good idea for a film? Nothing original, nothing to see, move along....

Watchmen - Brilliant. Nice story-board provides stunning filming. Thought-embracing magic from Moore's mind.

Captain America - Ok, even good, in parts. The CGI(?) of Steve Rogers-to-Cap boggles me, though, which is annoying.

Thor - Just annoying. I missed Don Blake when he was written out of the comics and I miss him here. Some super heroes need jocks (no, Ace, I'm not being irreverent about Scotsmen) more than they need actors and I'm afraid that isn't enough for me, 'cos I ain't a teenage girl (don't get me wrong, I really like teenage girls, but that isn't the same thing).

Iron Man 1 & 2 - Together, they make a really impressive adventure film. Happily, neither Batman nor Iron Man need to be played by jocks

Will The Avengers live up to to the hype? Could anything?

Spiderman 3 - Could have been worse. I was impressed by the weaving-together of the various threads (almost web-like weaving?) to make a coherent story, less so by the re-write of the back-sory. Was that in the comics? Nice re-casting of Uncle Ben, though. I waited in vain to see how they were going to kill off Gwen, as they'd used up her scenario on MJ in the first film, but it didn't happen. Ah, well. At least her hair was (mostly) right

Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer - Adding my voice to the chorus of WHAT HAPPENED TO GALACTUS???? Poor film. Even Jessica Alba's mere presence (in the first film, that was enough for me - perhaps I'm getting old at last....) didn't make up for this film's multitude of shortcomings.

Maybe I've watched too many in one go, but I'm finding Stan Lee's cameos annoying, now.

Still going through the back-cat of films I have to see, so there's still time to find something wonderful -- fingers crossed, folks



I'm jonesing for Dr Strange, though.....

(as a side-bar, I found this link to Kevin Conroy's view of Bale's voice... http://screenrant.com/kevin-conroy-c...e-mikee-54681/)

Mars needs moms - Cute little SF movie for kids, good CGI and the animation is very realistic.

Fast Five - What an awesome heist movie, not really a Fast and Furious movie except for the end sequence (no pimped out rides). Probably one of the best chases I have seen in a very long time, it beats any Michael Bay highway scene hands down.

Source Code - Groundhog Day for grown-ups. Why is everything a love story?

[antiloquax]

I went to see "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". I enjoyed it a lot. Some nice touches - female chimp called "Cornelia", Caesar building 3D jigsaw of the Statue of Liberty.
My wife and I wondered if it was over-doing it a bit when the Caesar refused to kill any humans ...
On the whole, though, a very satisfying prequal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel - Mostly still unanswered, but enjoyable enough romp. Lousy ending.

The Greatest Movie Ever Sold

Not really an expose of advertising in films. Rather an entertaining documentary about advertising in film. Wasn't exactly enlightening, but was enjoyable nonetheless.

Mother's Day

Not too bad horror thriller from the director of Repo: The Genetic Opera. Took some serious liberties on story and was literally nothing like the original film. This you could say is a good thing, as the original was an extremely sordid little number.

You ain't kidden, the original was nightmarish and brutal. However you do get to see the bad guys get theirs at the end.

Hmm, I haven't seen the new movie. But now I want to view the 1980 Mother's Day film again.

The original Mother's Day is quite close to my heart. My Step Father hired it out for me when I was 11 years old when I was sick from school one day. We watched the movie together that afternoon. I have never asked him what he thought of it. LOL
