What was the last film you watched?

Astro Boy (2009)
5/10

Not having seen the original series, or the 80s series, or the newer series, or read the manga aso.
i still found it lacking and just too un-original and over mainstream. Kids might like it, but its just a big meh.
Especialy as the original story had alot more adult content, and still made the kids awe, as far as i know atleast.
Some nice action sequences, and the CGI is on par with the rest of the usual stuff.


the Maiden Heist
7,5/10

Funny little movie with a superb cast that just makes the movie warm and joyfull. Makes a perfect DvD
to watch for the holidays.

Monsters vs Aliens
6/10

Another mediocre animated thingomajig..thingy. Some funny elements, but falls short on most of the
story, humor and characters, especially the main villain, its like i have seen that design for a character before...

Got one scene that is worth the watch tho, when the President plays Axel F on a synth/keyboard. Priceless.
Alot of references and nods to classic horror and sci-fi movies. Like the Blob where one scene from the
50s version i think is recreated pretty nicely.

Other than that, overall ok kids movie, but mostly made to cash in on the children.

ps. i spottet a big goof in it too, Ginormica (the girl that becomes big) gets small at one time, and she
races through some walls that she broke open when she was big. When she passes through the same holes
she made when she was big, they are now just as small as she is. someone on IMDB allready posted it tho :/

EQUILIBRIUM

I'd heard a lot about this movie and just now got around to watching it. I really enjoyed it! It is often compared with THE MATRIX, and it's easy to see why: many of the action sequences (and even costumes) could have been lifted directly from that film. But I like EQUILIBRIUM better. It has a more intelligent script (think 1984/Fahrenheit 451 meets The Matrix), and a main character, played quite well by Christian Bale, that I cared about a lot more than I cared about Neo.

Highly recommended.

Indeed a good movie, and great fighting sequences with "gunkata" i believe they call it, martial arts with guns, can't go wrong with that hehe.

Fun trivia from IMDB:
John Preston kills 118 characters in this movie, which makes him responsible for exactly half of the total 236 deaths shown. As of 2009,
he continues to hold the 3rd place record for most deaths in a movie caused by one character.

The dress uniform worn by Preston in the not without incident shootout was based on the mourning uniform worn by Bruce Lee in Jing wu men (Fist of Fury/the Chinese Connection)

Sorry, didn't find any smaller images, or actual images from the movies, pretty cool tho

I watched "Jason Goes To Hell" yesterday night. It is a perfect film for late night 31.oktober. It is one of my absolute favorites. There is one thing I do not understand thou, -why did`nt this film become a big hit?? I can`t really understand how Freddy vs. Jason became a blockbuster, when the film I am talking about is so much bether. It is made by Sean S. Cunningham and it has much the same feeling that the first friday-film had.

Love the "bang the sleeping bag with the chick inside it against the tree" scene, true Friday the 13th atmosphere.

Trying to distract Cyborg Jason, the resident nerd programs a holodeck recreation of Crystal Lake circa 1980,
and two babes show up offering Jason beer, weed, and pre-marital sex.
"We love pre-marital sex," they announce, taking off their tops and climbing into sleeping bags.

to bad the video clib is removed :/

As for me, i saw
Halloween III: Season of the Witch on halloween night.
7/10

It was alot better than i remembered from before. The story is ofcourse mumbojumbo and at the end you are left with a
huge bag of what the h..? But still, its oldschool, its fun, it has alot of fun deaths and is generaly a fun movie. Tho it has nothing
to do with the other Halloween movies, exept that its produced by Carpenter and Debra hill and Carpenter once again kicks ass with
his music.

Zombieland
8,5/10

Lol, great movie, with prolly the most kickass cameo ever, Bill Murray is the man!

Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.

I loved the first 2 movies, they were great.
but this? it kind of ruins the trilogy for me. they should have picked someone else instead of tina turner, WHY tina turner..
I felt like i was watching a kids movie.
i'm giving this a 6/10, i liked some of the action, and MasterBlaster was kind of..cool?

Zombieland - 8 / 10

Loved it. Funny, cool, great rules and fantastic cameo

The Cove - 7 / 10

Excellent documentary. Loved the fact they used thermal imaging cameras and ILM to help them. Some harsh scenes though but that's the point of it.

Drag me to Hell - 8 / 10

Great old school style horror

THE INCREDIBLE HULK

Why? As if Ang Lee hadn't already proven that you can't instill a touch of humanity into a big green CGI monster, someone gave them the green light to try it again. Granted, Edward Norton was better than Eric Bana, but his contribution to the character ends as soon as Hulk appears. Liv Tyler does her usual "look stunned and stunning" at the same time, which is adequate because that's all her character is given to do. Tim Roth gets to chew some scenery and William Hurt gets to clench his teeth...oh boy.

Hopefully, they're done with the Hulk.

I must admit I quite enjoyed The Incredible Hulk. Thought the Hulk looked great

I liked it a lot better than the first one, but I was disappointed on 3 levels. I would have liked to see more of Norton in the actual Hulk. Except for much better graphics, there wasn't much difference in the character of the Hulk from the first one. And as fun as Liv Tyler is to look at, and as much as I like William Hurt, I can't help but imagine what it would have been like with Jennifer Connelly and Sam Elliot in those parts. Finally, it wasn't really resolved. The Tim Roth Monster didn't look finished, just down for a while. He'd recovered from much worse that the Hulk had hit him with.

You know, speaking of Jennifer Connelly, she would make a good Wonder Woman...hmmm.

The Men Who Stare At Goats - 7 / 10

Very funny. Clooney and Bridges are just comedy legends. Clooney seemed to be channeling his character from O Brother Where Art Thou! but with a lot more confidence. His dancing scene is brill as is the bit where he tell McGregor to strangle him - also love the fact they keep talking about Jedi in front of Ewan.

The ending got a bit lost, but well worth seeing and some laugh out loud moments.

An Education - 5 / 10

Started off fine, but just lost it's way and became predictable nothingness. No idea why this keeps getting such rave reviews. Left me with a what was the point kind of feeling
