Movie review thread

[Shayne]

Anyone watched this movie "I am legend"? I thought it was pretty good. Thoughts?

[Raevoyn]

I thought that it was very good! Very aptly named too!
I don't want to give anything away about the movie, but I will tell you this, I noticed a lot of interesting references. Well edited, and brilliant cinematography. Will Smith is excellent!
I LOVED IT

[Shifty]

Haven't got round to seeing it. Someone let slip what happens during the film which spoiled it for me. Will probably wait for it to come out on DVD now..

On the positive side, I went to see Cloverfield. That film blew me away. Rarely say this about any film but I thought it was fantastic! Admittedly I went in knowing absolutely nothing about the film, so I had no preconceptions or expectations of what it was like. It's a non-stop, thrilling, sometimes terrifying action movie.

[Springbok]

Looks like 007 is back:smiley20:

[Raevoyn]

Yeah, it's a continuation of Casino Royale, he find's out who killed his chick, and it's gonna get interesting!
I think Daniel Craig has definitely given Bond a more "human" look.

[Raevoyn]

Here it is!!!!!!!!!
Here is the link to the new Bond Film ....

I am legend was great although i felt it ended too suddenly after building up nicely.

a few new movies in the pipeline.

The dark knight (teaser trailer) (http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/thedarkknight/)
Hellboy II (trailer) (http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/hellboy2thegoldenarmy/)

Fools gold (trailer) (http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/foolsgold/)

10 000 BC (trailer) (http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/10000bc/) this one looks good!

[Raevoyn]

Did you hear about the official announcement of the new Bond film? They spelt it wrong and Daniel Craig was very pissed off!

[Nyala]

The Dark Knight will be an all-time box office mega-movie because of the untimely passing of Heath. Did he finish screening or will they digitally add the remainder of his scenes? Here in Oz there's an explosion of Heath Ledger movies in tribute to him - last night "The Patriot" got the ball rolling, many more to follow. RIP Heath.

[biffon]

Heath was abaout to start promotional tour for batman, filming finished in december.

[Shayne]

The new Star Trek movie looks awesome. Can wait for that to come out.

The new This is Sparta or whatever it is called looks bloody hilarious!

[Springbok]

I don't like STAR TREK at all i like true life movie close to the heart:smiley20:

[sally]

I really enjoyed I am legend!! there are a few good movies out there at the moment!! I really want to watch the new national treasure!!!

[Chick]

Strongly recommend you see

The Kite Runner.

This film is set in Afganistan and is about the friendship between two boys. It also touches on the turmoil in Afganistan and a family escaping the country and moving to America. The actors playing the two young boys are brilliant. The story will make you cry. The photography is fantastic. Sub-titled.

[Blue]

I am Legend really fustrated me and even now I can't work out if I liked it or not! Saying that, Will Smith was fantastic in it.

Saw Cloverfield last week and loved it! Loved the 'Lost' references and just thought it was a really good and different movie.

Going to see Jumper tomorrow night. Looking forward to that one.

[Shifty]

Can't say I've heard of "Jumper". Will have to look it up.

Nice to have you onboard btw Blue. Nice to see a familiar face. :smiley20:

[Chick]

'There will be blood' with Daniel Day Lewis. Strange but compelling watch.... I was never sure if I liked the lead character or not.

This is a story about the oil men in USA in the 1800's. The lead character is a determined, clever oil man who takes over a town because they have oil. On the one hand he seems not to have a heart, yet on the other, he adopts a child.

[igundwane]

Jumper looks excellent .... no DL's @ the mo though, There will be blood - Very Strangeeeeeeee and boring ! Golden Compass - Weird ! 3 : 10 to yuma - actually quite good, Hitman - predictable, Michael Clayton - so so,
Slipstream - Weird ass'd ! Rambo 4 - typical !

[Chick]

There will be blood - Very Strangeeeeeeee and boring !

I didn't find it boring, but strange - Yes.

[Blue]

Can't say I've heard of "Jumper". Will have to look it up.

Nice to have you onboard btw Blue. Nice to see a familiar face. :smiley20:


Hello Shifty! *waves*

Jumper is about a boy who can jump through time, but some folk don't like him and his friend doing that so chase them.

Trailer looked very good.

[Nyala]

This is a major rewind in time but....what are your thoughts on Mel Gibsons Apocalypto? I saw it a few month ago and thought that it was brilliant - not because of all the blood and gore but because how true to life it was. Amazing movie.

[dallas]

Loved I am legend!! cant wait to see Jumper, natoinal treasure, the new alien predator movie, bucket list.

[igundwane]

Nyala, Apocolypto .... sorry I M O, it was the biggest crock of shite to grace the screens. Time line was ridiculous, one minute in was in the amazon, next in mexico, then it took him 3 days to run back to the forrest, pregnant wifey down the pit eventually ends up having a water birth, that dude was trying to play an Aztec version of rambo ... it just got more and more ludicrous as time went on ......... then he bumps into Cortez and Boys who shouldnt have been around for at least another 100yrs ....

[Shayne]

Went and saw this on the weekend and throughly enjoyed it

YouTube - Jumper Trailer - World Premiere

[sally]

that looks good!! we are going to watch Cloverfield tonight so will let you know what it was like!!

[Blue]

Jumper was okay... I thought acting was not so great :whistling: but special effects brilliant. Saying that, it gave me more of a headache than Cloverfield. **but then maybe I'm used to jumpy home videos!** :smiley36:

Saw National Treasure during Half term. It was good - not Indiana Jones good - but good! Bit long though - numb bum syndrome!

Saying that, there is a new I.Jones coming out this year... looks EXCELLENT!!! :smiley32:

[sally]

The new Star Trek movie looks awesome. Can wait for that to come out.

The new This is Sparta or whatever it is called looks bloody hilarious!

did you watch that movie the spartans??? shayne, mate......we watched it last night and it was the gayest movie i have ever seen, and you guys all thought broke back mountain was bad!!! Oh my giddy aunt, it was very painful......funny but painful!!!

[FerrariSucks]

The Spartians is shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dallas]

Indiana Jones the new one was a waste of money!! Saw Bucket list and that was really good. Want to see Wanted, Kungfu panda, Will smiths new one......

[FerrariSucks]

We have been trying to watch "The Dark Knight" but it booked up for the next week at the cinemas

[sally]

we saw Hancock it was really funny! not the best will smith movie but still very good!! I really wanted to watch wanted and Kungfu panda, when it comes out on DVD i will watch it then!
Will also get mamma mia and watch it when FS has to go away and work, i wouldnt subject him to that!!

[dallas]

we saw Hancock it was really funny! not the best will smith movie but still very good!! I really wanted to watch wanted and Kungfu panda, when it comes out on DVD i will watch it then!
Will also get mamma mia and watch it when FS has to go away and work, i wouldnt subject him to that!!


You could keep it and wait till he has been mean(if he ever is) and then subject him to it then!!

[sally]

FS, mean, hahahahahaha that is a joke!! he is never mean!

[sally]

well we went to go watch The Dark Knight, what a movie, really enjoyed it! Heath was fantastic in it!! Did laugh when a kid in the cinema turned around to his parents and said..."why did he crash the lambergini" i laughed!!! very good movie but it is a little long!!

[dallas]

Oh to be childless and free.......Just kidding, I get to watch them in the comfort of my home about 5 months or so later!!

[igundwane]

Hancock - Sad Ending
Wanted - Crap - Weak Performance by Morgan Freeman.
Kung fu panda - funny as expected.
Hell Boy 2 The Golden Army - Weird and Crap
Indiana Jones - Good all things considered.

There are better movies coming out of the world cinema arena at the moment that the US block busters !

Some excellent subtitled ones around at the moment.

[SpaRHawK]

Well said Iggy.... agree on all counts. Although I must add to the Hancock...
Sad ending, more than just a comedy..

Saw Mummy 3 yesterday... If you have seen either of the previous Mummy films - you've seen this one.... more of the same except no Rachel Weiss.

Give The Happening a miss... seriously strange and the type of movie that leaves you feeling 'is that it?' at the end.

Dark Knight didn't really do it for me - sorry folks but there you go.

There is a severe lack of any good movies out there at the moment - seems the current trend is the remake... the latest being the remake of Death Race 2000, this time with Jason Stratham... (it's gonna suck... )

Tropic Thunder might be funny...

Am excited by the Watchmen although I cannot see it being anything like the book (comic.. whatever) - keen to see how it pans out.

Max Payne too might be watchable...

Any suggestions Ig?

[zimajays]

Oh to be childless and free.......Just kidding, I get to watch them in the comfort of my home about 5 months or so later!!


LOL - I hear that - have just watched the Bucket List and Juno on Sky box office and Loved both of them!
Bucket list was sad and if you like a good cry then it is awesome
Juno was great and I thought lived up to the hype!

[dallas]

yup really enjoyed both of those!!!! I watched bucket list on the plane and cried my eyes out!!! such a saddo!!!

[sally]

eish dal, i have done that before too, watching a sad movie on the plane and started crying, crew coming over to ask if everything is ok.

we might go watch a movie later, will let you all know which one later

[dallas]

ok dont brag!!!!! so jealous!!!! enjoy and have a big popcorn for me!!!! remember going to odeon in guildford?? still think of you when we go there!!!

[zimajays]

just watched jumper... not to bad not to good. The dude who played billy elliot is all grown up and very nice to look at...

[dallas]

ooh been wanting to watch that and spiderwick chronicles....i love kiddie flicks!!

[sally]

ok dont brag!!!!! so jealous!!!! enjoy and have a big popcorn for me!!!! remember going to odeon in guildford?? still think of you when we go there!!!

hell yeah, have great memories there!! miss you and cant wait to see you soon soon XXX

[sally]

We watched the "disaster movie"

its terrible, i few funny bits but not as good as we thought it would be!!

[dallas]

I watched spiderwick chronicles and Loved it!!!! Even dan stayed up to watch the end!! I have The covenant to watch and also the last resident evil......so will see!!

[Mafuta beeftex]

Ok - I am a saddo and I like Abba's music, so took the wife to go see Mamma Mia.

You know what, I enjoyed it. The spontaneity of the acting in some of the songs had me in stitches, and the music had me following the beat with my feet. Julie Walters was really good, and Meryl Streep performed well too.

A good show, probably more for the women or Abba nuts like me - or the blokes sat in the sets behind us!

[Chick]

Good to hear you were not the only man in the audience MF. Mr. Man refuses point blank to see the movie with me. All my friends have seen it already... so I will have a glorious Abba afternoon with a huge tub of popcorn all by my ownsome.

[Mafuta beeftex]

Good to hear you were not the only man in the audience MF. Mr. Man refuses point blank to see the movie with me.

Shame on Mr Man - nothing wrong in showing your 'X' chromosome side (didn't want to use the 'F****ine' word in case it really scares him off).

And yes, there were plenty of fellas in the audience, and I don't think any of them were under any sort of duress either.

Good and intelligent use of the music, adapting lyrics for the story line, but keeping to the spirit of the original. There were also cameo appearances by Bennie and Bjorn.

[barto11]

Mamma Mia...pfffft, it'll be a cold day in hell before I go and see that!!

(not that there's much differance between a cold day in hell or a hot day in the UK)

[boards]

Barto - man up mate! and take that box of tissues with you!!!!

Oh and good call on your hell statement re: UK weather! Would rep but i have to spread the love Mama Mia style!

[zimajays]

Well done that man! I like a man who is man enough to like "x chromosone" side to life!

[dallas]

Cant wait to see city of embers....kiddie flick.....love them....adventure!!!

[Chick]

Any girls been to see the 'Sex in the City' movie? Another film Mr. Man refuses to watch.

[igundwane]

Righteous Kill - Predictable, nothing special

Journey to the center of the Earth - Utter Crap

Iron Man - Excellent

Hulk 2 - Excellent

Been very little worth downloading in the last 2 months .. so my area is pretty slim.

[Mafuta beeftex]

Mamma Mia...pfffft, it'll be a cold day in hell before I go and see that!!

(not that there's much differance between a cold day in hell or a hot day in the UK)

Barto, if it's still in the cinemas in December, you'd better get ready to go.

Righteous Kill - Predictable, nothing special

Journey to the center of the Earth - Utter Crap




Bugger Iggy.... was hoping that there was at least one film that has come out recently that is worth a watch....

And if any of you get the oppurtunity to catch ' The Ruins' go do something else instead... like drinking lard... or counting blades of grass... it would be a more worthwhile exercise.... same applies to 'The Strangers'... complete toilet the both of them.

Gonna watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall again.... except I'm gonna fast forward through all the male nudity - there is NO need.

OMG - Mafuta I swear a little wee spot - IOU reps for that one

[dallas]

too funny!!!

On the sex and the city, I am waiting for it to become availabel on bluray at lovefilm....Mr man wants to see it too so that is good!!

[kimfromzim]

Saw Sex and the City with a bunch of 10 girls from the office - great fun! There are a lot of laughs in it and you leave feeling lighthearted and happy. I enjoyed.

Don't expect anything too deep - just loads of fun and glamour. (I've never seen the TV show, don't watch TV)

[Shayne]

I thoroughly enjoyed Wall-E but I've always been a fan of Pixel Productions (ie Toy Story and the like). Well worth the watch.

If you have an hour to waste and dont mid mindless crap, then watch Hell Boy 2. Good graphics and some awesome creatures have been thought up. Screen writers must be forced to take acid.

[dallas]

Cant wait for wall-e to come out on bluray...so my kind of movie!!!! I have enjoyed the trailers that I have seen of it!!!

[sally]

gone baby gone was fantastic, sex in the city was ok very long and took a while to get into, iron man was shit!!

[Sam Edwards]

Right... I have a dvd for you guys and girls to watch in this cold wet (BMW) weather.

EIGHT BELOW
Walt Disney movie with Paul Walker (Yummy)

Its based of true

I will type out the bit on the back of the dvd box for you:

Eight Below: The thrilling and touching action-adventure about loyalty and friendship. Awful weather and a terrible accident force the members of a scientific expedition to evacuate Antarctica. And survival guide Jerry (Paul Walker) must leave his team of beloved sled dogs behind to survive the most unforgiving winter on the planet. Driven by unwavering friendship and belief in one another, the dogs and a heartbroken Jerry - who will stop at nothing to rescue them - make an incredible journey to reunite in this triumphant and inspiring movie the whole family with treasure.

I loved it, Its nothing heavy and has a sweet story and those dogs are amazing _Girls and guys get your tissues out and enjoy

[jiggs]

yeah it was a good one but it's been out for quite a while

[pennymac]

I don't know if its on here already, but I watched bucket list on the weekend, (got it out from the video store) and it was FANTASTIC!!!!

[SpaRHawK]

'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' - the new one with Brendan Fraser. Enjoy it. Completely unbelievable and totally filled with disney pap... fun way to spend an hour and a half.

Saw 5. If you have seen any of the others then you've seen this one too.... nothing really new in the genre... more deaths in very intricate ways.... and the tag line of 'You won't believe how it ends'.... yeah - you will. Try spot the guy from 24 and the girl from Dexter.

Babylon AD. New Vin Diesel pic. Suspect you need to know the books to fully appreciate this. Typical standard faire. Good effects. Rubbish story-line. Unless you really have a thing for Vin then I would steer clear.

[Shifty]

sex in the city was ok very long and took a while to get into

Sal, are you talking about the film, or just updating us on your sex life? :icon10:

[dallas]

27 dresses was very good!!!

[dallas]

just watched Wanted on Bluray!!! was brilliant!!! more gory than I thought it would be had to have disney cars on for Ethan while we watched it!!!

thought babylon AD was a bit of a dull story line, but the action was good and so was vin, but yup wasnt as good as I hoped!!!

[yarrumsg]

meet the spartans... what can i say, one of the better spoofs ;)

[dallas]

should be getting the house bunny today on bluray!! hope it is as funny as the preview!!

[gertrude]

A bit jealous down here in Harare of all the movies you guys have seen. Haven't heard of most of them! I only get to see what DSTv wants to show us....ususally for the 100th time (albeit they try to pass them off as premieres).

Maybe it's time to go find a pirated DVD or 6 at the flea market....

[barto11]

meet the spartans... what can i say, one of the better spoofs ;)

watched that the other day...hilarious :D

[yarrumsg]

I thoroughly enjoyed Wall-E but I've always been a fan of Pixel Productions (ie Toy Story and the like). Well worth the watch.

If you have an hour to waste and dont mid mindless crap, then watch Hell Boy 2. Good graphics and some awesome creatures have been thought up. Screen writers must be forced to take acid.

and when u get the spanish version u don't realise it till half way through... need to get the english version so i can the end :P

[pennymac]

I watched a good year on the weekend.

I liked it. Its lighthearted, and has some funny bits, and finishes on a warm and fuzzy note! I'm not sure if I'd spend $20 to see it at the movies though...?

[jiggs]

I watched Good Year as well but after 40 000km I threw them away

[zimajays]

So I have just come back from Monster vs Alien. I went on a date with a truly georgeous dude, blonde hair and blues eyes and the devils own charm, unfortunatly for me he fell asleep and stated to snore....


SUCH DEVOTION!

[Angelshark]

Has any body seen Cloverfield, wow, talk about a blair witch project that should not be watched by an epileptic.

[SpaRHawK]

Saw Yes Man last week.... made me chuckle. Not the greatest Jim Carrey fan, but there were a few moments that I found amusing.

[dallas]

Cant wait for twilight to get through my door!!!

[SpaRHawK]

Cant wait for twilight to get through my door!!!


I so wanted to hate that film... and was completely disgusted with myself at enjoying it.... damn my low morals and being easily swayed for a vampire story..

Saw Body of Lies too - basically Leo playing a similar character to that in Blood Diamond but this time in Jordan... and a rather a weak ending. Enjoyable none the less though.

Anyone think Slumdog did not live up to the hype?? Good ish film but couldn't what it won all the Oscars for...


Spoiler alert:

And Marley and Me.... if you have a dog... do not watch this film. Seriously. Spent quite a bit of time sat with my mutt after watching it just patting the little fella... You know how the film is going to end but you still carry on watching it - Jock of the Bushveldt anyone?

And Seven Pounds.... that film killed me... kinda knew the story but still was in bits at the end... was Saving Private Ryan all over again (and Jedi...)

[zimajays]

I am sooooo excited about the new Harry Potter, least of all coz I fancy Harry rotten. I saw a trailer in the movies yesterday and it looks AWESOME!

[dallas]

I am going round to a friend tonight, going to bath the kids, put them to bed (Ihope they stay in bed) and we are going to watch Twilight!!! I am so excited!!!!!Cant wait!!!

[biffon]

geez kids its really not that good...

the guy looks like he needs a dose of African Sun and the Chick needs a good spanking to get rid of those vile Emo thoughts...

[dallas]

It was so good!!!! Edward is just dribble material, and although the movie was not as good as the book (they never are) I loved it!!!!! Now I have 'how to make friends and alienate people' to watch tonight!!! (any one watched it?? was it any good??)

[pennymac]

Now I don't want to start anything, but I watched "australia" on the plane, and I quite enjoyed it. I don't know what all the critics were wanking on about, if you just watch it as a story its really sweet!

[TiGeR]

Anyone seen 'The Objective'? Same dude who did Blair witch project... I REALLY got into it, its SO different, but the ending was SHYTE! The new X men was a barrel of laughs & new terminator is pretty good too...

[sally]

loved twilight going to watch it again when i get home!!

Australia i thought was an excellent movie!!!

[Tricky Nicky]

Eish, all I get to go and watch are movies my daughter wants to see - Hannah Montana (that is my treat for May - but Billy Rae Cyrus is in it so that is okay) and I saw 17 Again over Easter, but mind you that Zac Effron aint half bad............ Mmmmmmmmmm! :smiley9:

[dallas]

I cant wait for Bedtime stories it is out on dvd on monday!!!

[boards]

I cant wait for Bedtime stories...

i could tell you a few!!

any one for THE USUAL SUSPECTS?? what a top flick...

[SpaRHawK]

any one for THE USUAL SUSPECTS?? what a top flick...

Top film... quality... iou reps for that - Heat (De Niro, Kilmer, Pacino... in one film.)

Crash was a good film (the newer one not the one about sexual fetishes about crashing cars...) - at least it made you think. Too many films nowdays are mindless and do not challenge you, mentally or otherwise.

Wanna talk top movies (filmed in Zim too....) would be Wild Geese. Now that's a quality film.

[dallas]

Just watched mamma mia!! well.......not much I can say, I loved the songs but thought it was crap!!!

[Shifty]

Watched this film the other night, it was very disappointing.

Basically this skimpily clad girl is making breakfast in her kitchen when this dude knocks on her door and tells her that that he’s come to fix her fridge.

He’s barely started repairing it, when things get a little heated and they start having sex. This goes on for about fifteen minutes before he finally stops.

“Hooray” I think, now we can get on with the story. Just then there’s a knock at the door and three more dudes are standing at the door. Apparently they have a puncture and need to call the road services for assistance.

Much to my surprise they start taking their clothes off and I’m thinking “WTF!!! Why do you need to take your clothes off to make a phone call?”

Next thing, they’re all having sex with the girl. This goes on for another half an hour and I’m getting angrier by the minute. “When the f:smiley35:k are they going to fix the fridge?” I’m wondering to myself. “If they all helped, they could have the fridge going quite quickly”.

They eventually finish having sex and all leave, completely disregarding the fact that the fridge is still faulty.

In summary, the plot is very weak and the dialogue is very poor. The ending is very sudden and you’re left with a lot of unanswered questions, such as “How did those three dudes get home with a flat tyre?” and “What were their names?” and “why did the service engineer only a dildo in his tool box?”:confusing:

If fact, to be honest I couldn’t help wondering if there was any point to this movie at all. :noidea:

Absolute nonsense. Avoid at all costs.:nono:

[sally]

Mmmmm, what was the name of this movie??

[Tricky Nicky]

Mmmm that sounds like one of those really exciting movies with the brilliant acting and the clever plot with a twist at the end............ :smiley36:

[Tricky Nicky]

Went to see State of Play last night - absolutely brilliant movie - very good plot, brilliant acting and a clever twist at the end - well worth it. :smiley20:

[boards]

i think its a new release as well - fairly low budget with a brilliant cast?

[Tricky Nicky]

I think it goes on general release today - we went to a "pre-screeing" - it was really really good - fantastic cast. :smiley20::smiley20::smiley20:

[Angelshark]

Anyone seen the movie, Lions for Lambs. Shit hot movie but you cant be interrupted cos you will miss quite a bit.

[jiggs]

So I should leave my girl friend at home

[zimajays]

So I should leave my girl friend at home


I didnt think blow ups were allowed into movies.

[jiggs]

Why wont they let you in

[zimajays]

ahhh hun, I have no problem getting in, it was you who wanted to take you girlfriend, and as I heard you had envolved from cameals to blow ups I naturally assumed, but if you haven't and you are still on camelas, well my bad...

[jiggs]

You must get out of the gutter ZJ stories like that are never true, or is it just your dirty mind taking over again

[Angelshark]

Cuss thread you two.

[zimboykie]

Anybody seen 'The Wrestler' &/or 'Gran Torino' yet & can make recommendations/comments etc as they're both out on dvd now & l need something to watch?! Cheers man.

15th July, 15th July - can't wait - HARRY POTTER IS HERE!

HP - bah, only for kids and soft headed adults.

From the adverts I accidentally saw when purely by mistake I went to harrypotter.com (instead of my local potter, Larry's website) they seem to have exaggerated the storyline to show destruction in central London - which obviously was not in the book. So I've heard.

But the films haven't been a true reflection of the books anyway. Apparently.

Roll on July 15th - so that people from the categories stated above can get their jollies from watching HP&THBP.

[Tricky Nicky]

The films are a true reflection of the books - I have read them all and seen them all several times. There are a few differences obviously but in the main they are the same.

From the trailers I have seen - London does not even feature - think you were definitely on the wrong site ! :smiley36:

[Mafuta beeftex]

From the trailers I have seen - London does not even feature - think you were definitely on the wrong site ! :smiley36:

As Mr Punch would say - oh yes it does. It is the Millenium bridge that is destroyed. I bet you reps that it is in at least two of the three adverts (http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/harrypotterandthehalf-bloodprince/#/video) for the film too. Apparently, so I've been told.

The films don't do justice to the books purely because they are unable to show the depth of the plot. And for entertainment value, they have changed the characters personality - was Serverus Snape really so jolly as to bop Harry and Ron's heads during a potions class (HP&TOOTP)?

Chill, enjoy the latest film (release delayed for commercial reasons), and don't worry about what other people think about HP.

[Tricky Nicky]

I never worry about what other people think! :smiley36:

Saw the full length trailer this morning - it is indeed the Millenium Bridge and I know what this refers to from the book - although it was not the Millenium Bridge that blew up - there were just strange goings on in the Muggle world that could not be explained and I think that is going to be one of them in the film - can't wait to see it!

Do definitely recommend District 9! Just watched now on DVD & found it very enjoyable. Rather gory in a lot of places but lovely hearing South African-accented english (do we sound like that to pommies?) as well as typically southern African grammar.

[carlykinn]

Watched Distric 9 a few months ago. Was quite good, hubby and I kept laughing everytime he said "I did not engage in pornographic activity with those creatures" ... haha ... so funny in the accent.

Heard they are considering a District 10.

I watched UP last night. Very good. Although quiet tearfully for a disney pixar movie. (Yes I DO cry at movies)

I was disappointed with UP.

It started off really well, was really funny, but about half-way onwards it just became a bit pointless, almost like the writers had run out of funny stuff (and a plot). That’s just the impression I got.

Finally going to see Invictus this weekend (on DVD). Just never got round to it which is strange, considering how much I’m looking forward to seeing it.

[barto11]

Special effects post-production is the business of creating on film, things that were not there when the camera rolled. When Iron Man dons his suit, or the Batmobile turns into the Batbike, you are watching this craft in action.
But what romantics chalk-up to "movie magic" is often the product of many hundreds of people, endlessly pushing pixels around computer screens.
That makes it an industry, and one in which the UK is a world leader.

The success of ‘The Hangover Part II’, which became the top grossing film of 2011 this week despite (mostly) terrible reviews, is just the latest demonstration of why sequels are so important in Hollywood.

With such big money on offer, film studios always look into following up a successful movie, even if they don’t really have a decent idea for a story. Here are some of the madcap sequels that were genuinely considered by greedy movie producers, but thankfully never got the green light. At least not yet, anyway…

Roger Rabbit II: Toon Platoon

The idea: A direct-to-video prequel that saw a young Roger searching for his mother in, er, Nazi-occupied Europe. Along the way he meets a Hollywood actress called Jessica, who he must rescue when she’s captured by the Third Reich. Apparently the film ended with a huge military parade that saw Rog reunited with his real dad, who was revealed to be Bugs Bunny. Hmm.

Why it never happened: Co-producer Steven Spielberg reportedly hated the script - perhaps because he had just made ‘Schindler’s List’ and wasn’t in the mood for jaunty cartoon Nazis. A Hitler-free re-write set on Broadway was commissioned but the project never saw the light of day.

The Vegas Brothers

The idea: A prequel showing the adventures of Vic Vega/Mr. Pink from ‘Reservoir Dogs’ (Michael Madsen) and Vincent Vega from ‘Pulp Fiction’ (John Travolta) - who were apparently brothers. Tarantino said the project “would have taken place during the time Vincent was in Amsterdam, when he was running one of Marcellus’ clubs in Amsterdam. And Vic goes to visit him.”

Why it never happened: Quite simply, Tarantino had other projects he wanted to make more, and the actors got too old to play younger versions of their characters. Probably a good thing.

[See also: Box office disaster becomes surprise international hit (http://yhoo.it/jOX4v6)]

Forest Gump 2: Gump and Co

The idea: Based on Winston Groom’s sequel, Gump would have once again accidently stumbled through historical events - this time in the 1980s and 90s. Shenanigans included helping develop ‘New Coke’, destroying the Berlin Wall, capturing Saddam Hussein during operation Desert Storm and meeting Tom Hanks at the Oscars.
Why it never happened: A script based on the frankly-rubbish sounding book was written by Gump scribe Tim Roth, but according to Hanks a sequel was never seriously considered. “We would have just been repeating ourselves,” he told Radio 1 back in 2008. If life is like a box of chocolates, Gump 2 would be a coffee-flavoured one.

Gladiator 2

The idea: Written by Nick Cave (yes, the musician), this barmy-sounding sequel had Russell Crowe’s Maximus (killed at the end of the first film, remember) resurrected by Roman Gods and becoming some kind of immortal warrior, ultimately fighting in the Second World War and working at the Pentagon.

Why it never happened: Apparently Crowe was extremely keen on Cave’s script, as was director Ridley Scott, who said it “worked brilliantly”. Sadly, however, it was just a bit too barmy for the studio and they passed.

E.T. 2: Nocturnal Fears

The idea: This nine page story treatment dreamt up by writer Melissa Mathison and director Steven Spielberg saw Elliot (the boy from the first movie) captured by an evil ‘mutant albino’ offshoot of E.T.’s race, who had been at war with the peaceful alien’s people for years. Eventually E.T. returns to save the day once more. At one point the diminutive alien leaves a message on his old radio saying ‘ET help Elliott soon’.

Why it never happened: Spielberg quickly decided a sequel to the most beloved sci-fi film of all time might be a bad move, famously saying (somewhat creepily): “It would do nothing but rob the original of its virginity’.

[See also: Classic films that flopped on release (http://yhoo.it/lWiyKB)]

The Bodyguard 2 (Princess Diana)

The idea: Having protected Whitney Huston in the first movie, Kevin Costner’s bodyguard Frank Farmer would now look after Princess Diana - who would play herself.

Why it never happened: Obviously because of her tragic death in 1997. According to Costner, however, the princess was “genuinely interested” in the project. “I had talked with Princess Di a couple of times," Costner told the BBC back in 2001. “She was genuinely excited to see [the script].”

Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash

The idea: A sequel to ‘Freddy vs. Jason’ that pits horror icons Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees (the villains of ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ and ‘Friday 13th’) against manic ‘Evil Dead’ hero Ash Williams.

Why it never happened: The trio had already battled in a comic series, so it seemed only a matter of time before the project reached our screens. However, ‘Evil Dead’ director Sam Raimi, who still owns the rights to the Ash character, reportedly wasn’t keen on the idea, so it’s still stuck in development hell.

[See also: Gordon Ramsay in embarrassing film cameo (http://yhoo.it/iSVB5o)]

Superman Lives

The idea: Written by Kevin Smith (who directed ‘Clerks’ and is one half of ‘Jay and Silent Bob’), this is the granddaddy of silly sequels. Madcap producer Jon Peters gave Smith all kinds of bizarre elements he had to incorporate into the script, including (at various points) Superman battling a giant spider in the finale, Lex Luthor getting a space dog sidekick (because Peters liked Chewbacca ) and Brainiac fighting polar bears at the Fortress of Solitude. Peters also objected to the Man of Steel’s costume… and the fact he could fly.

Why it never happened: Amazingly, Warner Bros. loved the finished script (by that point the space dog was gone) but when Tim Burton was brought onboard to direct he had the screenplay totally re-written and eventually the project collapsed.

He's known for making the ladies swoon with his honour and self-control in teen vamp flicks, but Robert Pattinson's time as a loveable, honest heartthrob could be in its twilight.

His new film 'Bel Ami' sees the dreamy lad switch characters completely to portray a roguish Parisian journalist who rises to power in the French capital by manipulating, seducing and generally abusing women of influence.

The Doctor himself, actor Matt Smith, and Karen Gillan, who plays Amy Pond, promised fans some major cliffhangers, with Gillan saying: “My secret, I've still got. And you still don't know it. It's so exciting! I feel so powerful now.”

Biggins, Blackwood, Swash: it’s no surprise these stars did reality TV. However, when the Dalai Lama rocked up on ‘MasterChef Australia’ last week (he was a judge), it was something of a shock. Ditto the news that Michelle Obama will compete in an episode of ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ later this year. They aren’t the only big names to have slummed it on reality TV though. Here are the celebs who should have known better...

One particularly devoted fan of dressing up at Comic-Con is Victoria Schmidt, who says she spends her entire year - and most of the money she earns as an office manager -working out a costume for the summer event. Her first convention was in 1999 and she really goes all out with her appearance. We mean really.

Her first convention was in 1999 and she really goes all out with her appearance. We mean really.

In the past she has dressed up as Batgirl, Kate from ‘Lost’ - complete with ‘authentic’ pit-stains - and has been Princess Leia multiple times, as well as a bearded Obi-Wan Kenobi. She says she spends months planning and creating the costumes, and that once household bills are paid, every penny she has goes on getting her look exactly right.

Schmidt is so devoted she says she doesn’t even mind when she’s lost blood and hair for costumes, saying she’d do it all over again. She’s even asked the actual TV and movie costume designers for help in getting everything perfect.

If she can’t get it exactly as the costume is, she’s not interested: “Go big or go home, because if I can’t do it right then I don’t want to do it.”
Obviously she’s a nerd’s dream, but is currently out-of-bounds - she has the support of her equally geeky boyfriend who she met at an Anime Expo, and who helps her make her costumes.

She can’t foresee a time that it’s going to stop either. Schmidt says that she can’t wait until she’s 60 or 70 because then she can play characters like Professor McGonagall from ‘Harry Potter’. Now that’s devotion.

we get to see 'Twilight' star Kristen Stewart’s version of Snow White in the rival project based on the classic fairytale.

'Snow White and the Huntsman' stars Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron and these first pictures immediately suggest a very different take on the story.

‘Brothers Grimm’ director, Tarsem Singh, looks to have a more colourful, whimsical and dare-we-suggest Tim Burton tone to his version, while there seems to be a more action-orientated feel to 'Huntsman'.

The first trailer for the hugely anticipated ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ film has officially hit the web. After a week of speculation, rumours and hazy video footage of Christopher Nolan’s final foray into Gotham City, the official trailer has finally been unveiled to world. What starts off as a re-hash of old footage from the first two films suddenly turns into a glorious promo with gripping shots of both Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon on his death bed and newcomer Tom Hardy as the infamous Bane.

It was only last Friday that Grazia Daily was gushing over Sasha P doing what she does best – striking a seductive pose (http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/fashion/archive/2011/07/22/on-the-a-w11-campaign-trail--were-blushing-for-armani.htm) for Giorgio Armani’s A/W ’11 campaign – but today, we’ve seen her working new territory in the trailer for sci-fi thriller, In Time. The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo (around the 2:33 mark) sees the leggy lovely sporting a strapless gold gown and swapping her trademark peroxide blonde crop for a blunt auburn bob to match her co-star’s, Amanda Seyfried.

http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/blog/article/225156/battleshipexclusive-trailer.html

There are a few reasons why we’re excited for this film, firstly our love for Rihanna and our desperation to see her on the big screen after she showcased her acting skills alongside Andy Samberg on 'SNL'. Twice.

Secondly, ‘Battleship’ might have been one of our favourite childhood games.

Hence a film starring Rihanna based on ‘Battleship’ has us itching to see the results.

We’ll have to wait until 20 April to see the full result, but in the mean time we have the poster, official synopsis and an exclusive look at the first trailer:

Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs ‘Battleship’, an epic action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Based on Hasbro’s classic naval combat game, ‘Battleship’ stars Taylor Kitsch as Hopper, a Naval officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker as Sam, a physical therapist and Hopper’s fiancée; Alexander Skarsgård as Hopper’s older brother, Commanding Officer Stone of the USS Samson; Rihanna as Lt. Raikes, Hopper’s crewmate and a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones, and international superstar Liam Neeson as Hopper and Stone’s superior (and Sam’s father), Admiral Shane.

http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/jim-carrey-records-creepy-video-love-letter-emma-151322813.html?nc

We'll give Jim Carrey the benefit of the doubt and assume this video love letter to Emma Stone he posted on his official website (http://www.jimcarreytrulife.com/video-post/jim-carreys-message-to-emma-stone) is the result of an idea for a joke taken too far, but, no matter what his intentions were in filming it, it's pretty creepy. Carrey, his face extremely close to the camera, tells 22-year-old Stone: "If I were a lot younger, I would marry you, and we would have chubby little freckle-faced kids. We'd laugh all day long and go camping and play Yahtzee and tell ghost stories by the fire." After an even creepier thing we won't mention here, he then continues: "Every day for the rest of your life, you would thank God that I was the appropriate age for you. But I'm not. I'm 49... Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how I felt. You're pretty special, and I wish you continued success and artistic fulfillment, but most of all, I wish you love and contentment." He closes the video with a whispered "I love you" and a quavering lip. When asked about the odd missive, a rep for Carrey simply told "Access Hollywood": "It's a comical love letter." While we don't envy Stone in that she's no doubt going to have to address this video in countless press interviews moving forward, we have faith she'll handle it with wit and aplomb, as ever.

George Lucas has been making changes to "Star Wars (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1800121659/info)" for nearly as long as it's been in existence. When the original film was re-released in 1981, the opening text was revised to include "Episode IV: A New Hope" as a subtitle. And he's continued to update the picture and sound in new versions of the movies, from 1997's "Special Editions" to the DVD release in 2004.

We spent our afternoon at two movies. The first was Lars Von Trier's "Melancholia (http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/the-projector/barbra-streisand-shows-indiana-jones-footage-course-214352633.html#)," which features a runaway orbiting planet threatening the end of the world. The second was Steven Soderbergh's "Contagion," which features a bat-pig virus threatening the end of the world. These things come in threes.

So, some old footage has surfaced of a prank featuring Barbra Streisand in a dominatrix suit whipping Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, in costume, before she is interrupted by Carrie Fisher and "Empire Strikes Back (http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/the-projector/barbra-streisand-shows-indiana-jones-footage-course-214352633.html#)" director, Irvin Kershner. (It's a play on the "Temple of Doom" scene where Indiana is tormented and whipped by captors who use Indy's own infamous whip.) Watch this now (http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/cool-videos-the-lost-footage-of-barbra-streisand-in-temple-of-doom), thanks to the demented folks at JoBlo, who have brought this mercilessly to the masses. Sweet heavens.

Slashfilm tried to transcribe the "dialogue" of the grainy video. Here's their try (http://www.slashfilm.com/rare-footage-indiana-jones-temple-doom-set-features-barbra-streisand-carrie-fisher/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaig n=Feed%3A+slashfilm+%28%2FFilm%29) (which looks good to us):
Barbra Streisand: "This is for Guns of Navarone!"
Barbra Streisand: "Guns of Navarone? No…"
Harrison Ford: "For Force Ten…"
Barbra Streisand: "For Force Ten!" (Ed. note: She mean FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE not GUNS OF THE NAVARONE.)
Barbra Streisand: "This is for Hanover Street!"
Barbra Streisand: "This is for all the money you're going to make on Return of the Jedi!"
Harrison Ford: "Who's that?"
Carrie Fisher: "Someone who needs you!"
Irvin Kershner: "What the hell is the matter with you? Steve! Come on! I don't believe one word you're saying. Now come on, do it again."
Barbra Streisand: "Give me a reason!"
Harrison Ford: "It's the dialogue!"
Carrie Fisher: "Can I change lines?"
Irvin Kershner: "Listen."
Carrie Fisher: "Yeah?"
Irvin Kershner: "I want you to believe what you are doing!"
Carrie Fisher: "Okay."
Irvin Kershner: "You call that shouting? You call that pain?"
Harrison Ford: "Steven…"
Irvin Kershner: "Steve, how can you let him do this? Come on!"
Harrison Ford: "Okay ready… ready."
Carrie Fisher: "I'll be good, I promise."
Irvin Kershner: "Do it again!"
Harrison Ford: "Really hit me! Really hit me this time!"
Barbra Streisand: "Okay."
Harrison Ford: "Don't do it with such… really hit me!"
Barbra Streisand: "I feel like a fa--ot…" Forgive Barbra that last bit: It was June 1983. We're going to go wipe the rest of our brain off the various walls of our office.

Sorry Dal.... I am a great lover of boobies, don't get me wrong... love 'em...
but this movie was serious toilet... even the boobies couldn't save it... and THAT is saying a lot... It IS worth a watch to see some fine jubblies on display but, other than that (what more is there I hear you ask??) I'd give it a miss.

[zimboykie]

no movie-saving minge even?

[dallas]

yup, I agre with you Spar, it was crap, but the boobs were worth a second peek, (Dan has yet to watch it, but am sure he will appreciate the boobies). otherwise it was 2 hours I will never get back.

http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/the-projector/anne-hathaway-looks-interesting-catwoman-142747276.html

There have been concerns about Anne Hathaway's role in Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises" from the very beginning. The concern initially was that the daffy, charming, goofy Hathaway had the right amount of gravitas to play Catwoman, even though no one involved with the production would admit that she was playing Catwoman. (She was only listed as playing "Selina Kyle," which, yes, happens to be Catwoman's real-life identity.) Then there were the initial official photos of Hathaway in character, photos that looked so odd and off-tone from the Nolan Batman films up to this point that even Hathaway herself noted people weren't that happy with it (http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/08/anne_hathaway_catwoman_1.html). (While still pointing out that those who did like the costume "had excellent taste.") But this weekend, paparazzi photos of Hathaway in full-on Catwoman costume on set leaked ... and it's probably not going to change any minds.

http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/theprojector/495_catwomanmobile_092611.jpg (http://mit.zenfs.com/534/2011/09/495_catwomanmobile_092611.jpg)Now it's important to keep in mind that these are paparazzi shots, which could tell us absolutely nothing and we should probably be ignoring them all together. (Ask Johnny Depp about that (http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/the-projector/swear-johnny-depp-dark-shadows-photo-190005143.html).) But if you didn't like the previous picture, you're not gonna be crazy about these, because, well, Hathaway looks just like she did in the official photo, except now she has a mask and ears. (http://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/09/24/anne-hathaway-dark-knight-rises-set-with-christian-bale/) Any concerns you had before wouldn't be alleviated by this: She looks, essentially, like a lady walking around in a Halloween cat costume. Compare that to how scary and convincing Tom Hardy looks as Bane (http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/the-projector/tom-hardy-bane-scary-bald-dark-knight-rises-123201546.html). This shouldn't be considered Hathaway's fault, necessarily. The Catwoman costume is as common a costume as you can imagine, and if Halle Berry looked ridiculous in it (and she did (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E7_pSYsrXAU/Tl-O7Mp6oYI/AAAAAAAABkQ/t869zMh9M_g/s1600/Halle+Berry+Catwoman.jpg)), there's no shame in looking a bit silly in it yourself, at least in long-shot paparazzi photos, anyway. As always, it's all about context, and you can't argue that Nolan (and, for that matter, Hathaway) haven't earned the benefit of the doubt. But still. Not all that different from this (http://www.costumecraze.com/Movie-Costumes-Catwoman.html), really.
http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/Dpg4m23n0BmRx9SOTC1.4A--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTE5MA--/http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/theprojector/250_catwomanalone_092611.jpg (http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/theprojector/250_catwomanalone_092611.jpg)Hathaway running away! (Splash)

Also from the Los Angeles "Dark Knight Rises" shoot this weekend, and from that same series of photos: Video from the set that might have a spoiler. We're not watching it, because we don't want to have plot points spoiled, but Comic Book Movie (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=47010&t=Mysterious_Set_Footage_From_iTDKRi_Sees _An_Embrace_Between_Batman_And_Catwoman) says there's a plot detail in there. Watch it at your own risk.

Books have been made into movies. Video games have been made into movies. Even theme park rides have been made into movies -- with remarkable results. So why not board games? Why not, indeed. After all, pioneering 1985 adaptation Clue is firmly established as a cult classic -- and while this week's new robot-boxing release 'Real Steel' (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810130487/info) doesn't carry an official Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em Robots license, it's widely held to be nigh-indistinguishable from the legendary board game/toy. Bizarre though it might be, 'Real Steel' is proving to be a hit with critics (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/real_steel/), but this is just the start. Led by a high-stakes deal between board game maker Hasbro and Universal Pictures and boasting the involvement of big names like Ridley Scott, Tim Burton, and Liam Neeson, a slew of family classics are set to head from cardboard to celluloid over the next few years.

http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/tom-cruise-wildest-stunts-232702780.html

Many movie stars like to boast about how they do their own stunts in their action movies, but Tom Cruise walks the walk. Specifically, he walks right out the window of the tallest building in the world. Cruise has done some wild stunts in his movie career, but they all pale in comparison to the one he did for "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol." The 49-year-old actor climbed up -- and also ran down -- the mirrored glass exterior of the Burj Khalifa, the 181-story, 2,723-foot-tall skyscraper in Dubai that holds the record for the highest structure ever built.
