executed: Abdul Malik
A ghastly murder in Trinidad that involved a British socialite and a self-anointed Black Power leader of the 1970s, among the main characters, is the backdrop of a new movie that opened in Britain at the weekend.
It stars Jason Statham, popular from his Transporter movies, and is about the real-life unsolved heist at a bank in London in 1971.
The film is titled Bank Job.
The heist is linked to the murder of former socialite Gale Benson, the daughter of British Member of Parliament Lord Leonard Plugge.
Abdul Malik, who anointed himself leader of the British Black Power movement in the 1970s before he was hanged for murder in Trinidad, is being depicted.
And the man who called himself Michael X will also have a fourth book published about his life this year.
The book is titled A Life in Black and White.
Malik, whose given name was Michael De Freitas, is portrayed as a man who captured sexually compromising photographs of Princess Margaret which he stores in a vault at the bank.
He was arrested and convicted under the Race Relations Act and returned to Trinidad in January 1971 to avoid being arrested for extortion.He started an agricultural commune in Arima.
It was there that police found two buried bodies, Joseph Skerritt, a member of Malick's group and Benson in 1972. She was buried alive.
In the movie Benson is portrayed as a British agent who was killed because of her investigations into the photographs of the Princess.
Malik was hanged in 1975 despite an international effort to stop the execution.

Another GREAT movie was a classic but relatively unknown 1955 gem titled Night of the Hunter. Very much an American styled Hitchcock type of film.

I have it in the mail, coming to a tv near me soon. ;D
Watched it two nights ago...had a lot of potential but ultimately it fails miserably. A poor approximation of the Charles Bronson serial, Death Wish.
The movie starts fantastically and picks up a good head of steam before falling midway into the morass of mediocrity that similarly envelops other movies in the vigilante genre. The plot takes several eye-rolling twists and before long one finds oneself sitting there waiting for the credits to roll already.
I have the kingdom rite now with Li and Chang ,I could pm u the link .
Note: stay until the very last credit rolls off the screen. Nice Surprise for the people who wait it out.I go have to get my family to read this as they doh like when I do that for every movie ;D
DEATH SENTENCE - Kevin Bacon ,.2008I have this one here now...might watch it tonite.
Boss...Harold and Kumar.....very, very good. Pt. 2 (if dat not what yuh talking about) out in theatres now...they go to Guantanamo Bay.
Just got back from seeing it ,really well done film.When I saw Jan Favier ,as his driver I was like eh ,he did a great job directing it .like how his suit flex . I made the kid wait ,and made him late for soccer practice ,to see the ending ............it was ok .I have the kingdom rite now with Li and Chang ,I could pm u the link .
Yeah man, bless...ah was supposed to check dat out anyways, been hearing good reports about it.
If yuh ent see Iron Man get on it...good flick, particularly if you see it on de big screen.
...then again they use him as a guinea pig...oh shit is true the movie is a pack of arse.
Looked at it tonight. It was tata just average. Thanks for the heads up though.DEATH SENTENCE - Kevin Bacon ,.2008

People still use Netflix?
Bake what do you use?
Or hor.
I thought of Blockbuster but ppl online survey say Blockbuster take too long to return the movies. I use to rent from Blockbuster at one time but never like the idea of going to the store and look for a movie, too time consuming. When I think of Blockbuster I think stoneage. Netflix seems to have a faster turn around now as I get movies in 3 days max . The trick for a two day turn around is to return the movie on the last batch collection for the post office(Return on Monday night-new movie by Wednesday) if you want to get it back in 2 days. I on the three movie scheme so as I return one I still have two more to look at. I guess is whatever works for you though.
What!! That sound real good. You just hand in at the store and they send out the next before receiving it in the warehouse. :o That sounding even better than Netflix. I will have to see if I could get a free month subcription with Blockbuster.

saw this movie HAVOC with anne hathaway and bijou phillips last week on IFC,if allyuh get ah chance take it in.them 2 lil white girls eh ez.no big set ah action but good storyline.
Ah also have "Amazing Grace" waiting on mih here... from de trailer it look something like de British version of Amistad, telling the story of William Wilberforce and Olaudah Equiano (aka 'Gustavus Vassah'), the African prince who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in America. He subsequently escaped (ah reciting this from memory from thing ah read years ago so bear with mih) and somehow ended up on ah British naval vessel... went on to a life of high society in Britain.
Not sure how much of this made it into the movie, but they also showcase the story of John Newton, the former slave captain credited with writing 'Amazing Grace'.
I'll have to wait until I get some time later in the week, but can't wait to watch this.
Saw City of Men. Not bad. Not as shockingly violent as City of God. Positive ending.
I just watch Narnia: Prince Caspian and Black Dahlia...

Too much of a farce for me, I only recommended it if you have notthing else to do, the acting was good but the story was just over the top.
Saw slumdog millionaire last night, enjoyed it
check it out here (http://www.watch-movies.net/movies/slumdog_millionaire/)
Taken was also enjoyable not a top movie but good never the less.
Next one my list is the wrestler.
will definitly take the wrestler,mickey rourke,one of my all time favorite actors even with de bad facelift.
back in de day mickey make some good flicks.will definitly take the wrestler,mickey rourke,one of my all time favorite actors even with de bad facelift.
... playing Mick "Mankind" Foley. Great story about Foley, after his wrestling career he became a successful writer, publishing two autobiographies... and donating much of his wealth (multiple times NY Times bestseller) to charity.
I dunno that I'm that interested as to check it out in the theatres, but will surely see it on DVD.
... playing Mick "Mankind" Foley.
Saw The Wrestler today. Excellent film. Definitely not a date movie though. I need to check the odds but Rourke has to be an Oscar favourite. It is the kind of role they like.... playing Mick "Mankind" Foley.
I didn't see any Foley references other than the fact that he was in a match using barbed wire. I think I also read a review by Foley where he didn't have any connection to the film other than passing up a chance to consult on it.
it reminds me of ah movie i saw when i was about 4ft high with lee majors,it was called norseman.not as brutal.Saw The Wrestler today. Excellent film. Definitely not a date movie though.

Yeah you're right, I overstated how much it had to do with Foley. I'd read a NYT review which stated that the character was based on Foley, I swear about a month ago... looked for it but can't find it. Quite possible that I was hallucinating, lol. Here's a review that he wrote for Slate online... http://www.slate.com/id/2207076/ kind make me want to check it out.

Saw Pathfinder last night, wasn't really expecting much... but man, what a nice decent movie. It tells the story of the Vikings arrival in North America a couple centuries before Columbus and ponders why despite the early contact they never lasted. The story is seen thru the eyes of the protagonist "Ghost" (Karl Urban, "Bourne Identity"), who is found alive in a wrecked Viking slaver and adopted by an Indian tribe. His name derives from his obvious pale complexion, as he grows up and becomes one of the tribe, which years later find themselves under siege by a marauding band of Vikings who consider them savages- funny in itself, since the Vikings both in this movie and in real life weren't exactly known as exemplars of civilized behavior.
Ghost must lead the displaced tribe to safety and in the process try and find his true self, torn as he is between two worlds. Good movie.

EHy Norseman and pathfinder is 2 decent movie.underworld lookin good.braveheart,one of de best movies ever made.
I like the hack and slash genre. LORT, Conan, 300, Gladiator, Braveheart...it just have something bout getting yuh head chop off or a arrow in yuh chest. The dreadest was a man in Braveheart collect a sledgehammer in he chest and fold up. Pure kicks.
They had one long time...cyar remember it with a barbarian fella and he had a bow that used to leggo some light up silver arrows...the baddie was a sexy woman with a silver/goldmask and a snake.

EHy Norseman and pathfinder is 2 decent movie.

"Cry Freedom"
I remember it like it happened yesterday
By Deborah Earle (http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/AOYTQFRLD8VLP/ref=cm_cr_rdp_pdp)
"Fresh from his 1983 Oscar triumph with the film, "Gandhi", director Richard Attenborough tackles the more timely topic of Apartheid in this stirring 1987 drama.
The always-spectacular Denzel Washington and Kevin Kline have the accents down pat in their lead roles as South African Freedom Fighter, Steven Biko, and journalist Donald Woods.
Washington's interpretation of Biko's dignity in the face of the vicious symbols of White authority is more than highly reminiscent of Ben Kingsley's performance in "Gandhi". It is marvelous to watch Washington and Kline interact with each other.
The story begins as dawn arises over a desperately impoverished township in the 1970s. Despite their marginalized existance in their own land, the Black Africans have a certain dignity about them, which makes them truly noble.
Soon, whatever calm existed amid the squalor is shattered by armoured cars of the White South African police, who maraud the township, and attack the innocent, unarmed occupants in a moment that evokes pure outrage.
We meet the White South African journalist destined to help turn the country around while hearing an inaccurate narrative of the events in the aforementioned township, as printed in the "Daily Dispatch", for which Woods is the editor.
Donald Woods, whose family had lived in South Africa for five generations, considers himself a liberal where the issue of Apartheid is concerned. But his path in life begins to change when one Dr. Ramphele (an exotically beautiful, and beautifully spoken Josette Simon) courageously arrives at Woods' office to personally express displeasure about about the paper's commentary about her friend, Steven Biko, and personally invites Woods to meet him.
Woods is led to a community center for Blacks where Biko's wife, Ntsiki (Juanita Waterman), with her beautiful son, Nkosanthi (George Lovell) in tow, escorts him to a shady area of a yard, where her banned husband can first be viewed in silhouette behind he leaves of a tree.
We see the contrast in Woods' own life --his lovely home in an affluent suburb with his wife, Wendy (Penelope Wilton), five children(Kate Hardie as Jane, Graeme Taylor as Dillon, hamish Stuart Walker as Gavin Adam Stuart Walker as Duncan, and Spring Stuart Walker as Mary), maid Evilina(Sophie Mgcina), and dog, Charlie.
Biko takes Woods on a trip through the Black townships, and introduces him to those helping in the Resistance Movement, most notably, Father Kani(Zakes Mokae). Soon, Woods' photographer, Ken(Kevin McNally, who later appeared with Kline in "De-Lovely") is accompanying Woods and Biko to soccer games that turn into Black political meetings, despite Steve's being a banned person, and both ken and Donald bravely join Biko in his quest to end Apartheid. Soon, Woods is facing he same risks as Biko as he brings Blacks to work in his news room to report the news about the Black community more accurately.
A raid on the Black community center led by one Captain De Wet (Timothy West) prompts Woods to speak with Pretoria's High Commissioner, James Kruger (John Thaw), which does more harm than good, as the police begin to harass Woods' family.
In the meantime, Biko continues to deny White authorities, practicing his belief in his own freedom and his right to travel wherever he wants to in his own land.
Tragically, the law catches up to Biko, and when he is beaten to death by the South African police-- who claim he died during a hunger strike--Woods must expose the truth about what happened---not just locally, but before the whole world.
After attending the beautiful and moving ceremony that is Steven Biko's funeral, Woods learns that he is a banned person, as was Steven; he is sentenced to five years where he cannot write anything publically or privately, nor can he be in the company of more than one person at a time aside from those of his immediate family. He decides that his family must leave South Africa because a publishing company in London wants his story on Steve. His wife objects to this at first. But when the attacks against her family mount, including threatening phone calls, vandalism, and finally, the delivery of chemically contaminated T-shirts to the children, she agrees, and the family find ways around police surveillance to become the 1970s answer to the Von Trapp family, leaving behind a comfortable life under a racist regime from which they might have easily benefitted to convey the story of Biko's struggle to the world.
The scenes of the 1976 massacre of schoolchildren are brutal, but important, as is the lesson provided by this film about how racial injustice does not stay compartmentalized to those for whom it is intended.
Among those helping him reach Lesotho are his friend, Father Kani, at one point, the South African police themselves, as Woods is incognito, and later, there is even assistance from a fellow bearing the rather symbolic name of Moses (Joseph Marcell).
The family's departure from their troubled homeland is almost as triumphant as the onscreen portrayal of the Von Trapp's exodus from Hitler's Austria in "The Sound of Music", but trailed by a very solemn message of a then-still-existing problem in South Africa.
As a coda to this story, the film resulted in a lifelong friendship between the real Donald Woods and his portrayer.
Some may feel that the African actors should have had more screen time. But even so, with Washington's amiably dignified performance counterbalanced by Kline's scholarly and nuanced style, both actors can feel satisfied that the making of this film was among the most important two hours they ever spent onsceen.

"Cry Freedom"
I remember it like it happened yesterday
By Deborah Earle (http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/AOYTQFRLD8VLP/ref=cm_cr_rdp_pdp)
"Fresh from his 1983 Oscar triumph with the film, "Gandhi", director Richard Attenborough tackles the more timely topic of Apartheid in this stirring 1987 drama.
The always-spectacular Denzel Washington and Kevin Kline have the accents down pat in their lead roles as South African Freedom Fighter, Steven Biko, and journalist Donald Woods.
Washington's interpretation of Biko's dignity in the face of the vicious symbols of White authority is more than highly reminiscent of Ben Kingsley's performance in "Gandhi". It is marvelous to watch Washington and Kline interact with each other.
The story begins as dawn arises over a desperately impoverished township in the 1970s. Despite their marginalized existance in their own land, the Black Africans have a certain dignity about them, which makes them truly noble.
Soon, whatever calm existed amid the squalor is shattered by armoured cars of the White South African police, who maraud the township, and attack the innocent, unarmed occupants in a moment that evokes pure outrage.

Super Bad was funny... but Role Models was funnier. "McLovin' " from Super Bad was in it, along with Sean William Scott, from those American Pie movies.... along with "America's Funniest Doctor"... Ken Jeong.
Good stuff.
Motor Cycle Diaries was a boss flick... finally watched it.

I see Touches mention LakeView Terrace. That was some serious acting from Samuel. A lot of the parts in that Movie was hard to digest. Is longtime I eh feel so uncomfortable in a movie.
Saw Lakeview Terrace... decent flick. Ending was weak.
Samuel Jackson plays this overbearing nutty cop who lives next door to an interracial couple (Kerry Washington and some white fella) who are new to the neighborhood. All manner of disturbed psychopathy manifest themselves in Sam's character but these airheads either pawn it off as something else or juss indulging him in he nonsense.
One final act takes the madness too far and Sam's character finds himself on the brink of losing everything... including he sanity and he po-po job. He reacts the way any sane person would... he decides to kill everybody, lol... needless to say this one doesn't end well for him.
It have ah young ting playing he daughter... lawd... what ah nice chocolate smallie. Ah was shame tuh be peeping she bamsee and tot tots in de bathing suit 'cause in de movie she's only 15. Ah was on mih way upstairs tuh pray fuh forgiveness fuh mih sinful toughts about de young ting when ah stopped by mih computer and discovered on IMDB dat smallie (Regine Nehy) is 20. Mih thoughts still immoral, but at least they ent illegal anymore... mih career safe :rotfl:

Mall Cop was utter la la.fuh real,kevin james dissappoint meh in this one
I ent get one chuckle...I vex I waste $10 to watch this.
Taken was a more than decent movie..Good movie. It's crazy how people does really traffic other people in this day and age.
i was interested to see how Liam Neeson would work in a cold hearted kinda role but i think he did a pretty good job. some of the gunplay was a lil unbelievable, like ah man spray bullets at him while he not looking and miss.. but all in all, an enjoyable film.
that human trafficking scene is really something else yes.

Well you callin a movie shit without even watching it.
You hadda be a psychic
Daz like me callin you ugly and i never even see you
U are a madman
The movie not only was the best one yet, but it broke real records for a non-sumemr opening
Yeah I see it make plenty money which surprised me. I haven't been following movies so I don't know what is out there or what it was up against. It also remains to be seen how the word of mouth does and what numbers it will get next week.
That being said, big money don't mean the movie was good. The other movies weren't good and this one look like a retread. I will reserve comment until I actually see it.
Well you callin a movie shit without even watching it.

The whole Fast & Furious line of movies is shit. The man eh lie. Not because it make money means it wasn't shit. I did enjoy the first one, but it was a real shit movie as far as movies go.

Marcos yuh serious?
Your analogy is way off because movies have previews, and this is part of a series.
If the preview, the best parts of a movie, intended to entice viewers is shitty, it is not a stretch to assume that the movie is shitty as well. Not to mention that it is a sequel in what is a shitty set of movies. They aren't the worst movies ever made but it is basic popcorn fodder. Very formulaic, with a "trick" ending, and more cars and ending.
I am sure that the scene where - two people racing and one press the Nitrous button, and then the next one press the nitrous button and then one of them win, and the next one lose - is classic movie making.
Perhaps you'll feel better if instead of "shitty" I say "not to my taste". I imagine that if you are into colourful cars with neon lights and street racing it would have appeal, and it will definitely get a lot of kids going to it. And I would even watch it and find it entertaining for its campiness and humour (I like Tyrese and I watch the second one and catch good kicks). But none of that makes it a "good" movie. If somebody ask for a recommendation I would say it is shit because they could easily be disappointed by it.
Horse i dead serious.
And you are judging a book by it's cover.
I now starting to feel that real plenty of y'all comment on football too without ever watching the matches. Saying a side or a player is shit, this time you never even see them play...just reading match reports and watching scores.
I can't even discuss the merits of the movie with you because you haven't seen it brodda. This discussion doesn't even make sense
Iz one thing to say all the other movies you saw in the series were real shit. But to comment on it without even seeing it?
No problem if you think it lookin so. But don't say something is shit without seeing it.
Too many people on this site llike to authoritatively talk about things they know nothing about...especially football.
And wolfman, you don't think there can be a more fruitful discussion if ppl actually see the movie before discussing it?
You ever notice in book clubs they actually READ the book before discussing it?
And even critics WATCH a movie before bashing it?
Wow
Anyone watch "Doubt"? What do you think, in terms of the outcome. Did he do it, or was it because of all the doubt?

Got the slumdog DVD a couple weeks ago and finally watched it.
Good movie but not what I expected. I found that it did not really use India as anything other than a backdrop. The story was pure Hollywood, Forest Gump style storytelling but the could have set it in any country and it would have been the same. That being said I liked Forest Gump so I could get into the story.
aye,whoever could please give me ur take on the godfather part III... i just watched it for the 1st time, b/c when it came out i wasnt potty trained and i didnt get interested in mafia movies until 2 yrs ago... before i watched it tho i read some reviews on it.most were positive but stated that b/c of the 1st 2 there was alot of pressure on the 3rd,that the plot was too unbelievable and sophia coppola acted like shit... after watching it i dont get what the ass they were talking abt... the movie was real badass, the girl acted well as far as i was concerned... i love the 1st two and same w/ this one... somehow it reminded me of how critics bashed the dark knight... great movie, but ppl want to kill it
Got the slumdog DVD a couple weeks ago and finally watched it.to me gran torino and changeling much better than slumdog.

I was watching a few previews for a movie I borrowed(Zack and Miri make a porno movie) and noticed a flick advertised with the Towers in Trinidad as the back ground. The movie called Contract Killers and was shot in Trinidad. Anyone seen this movie as yet? How was it?
Edit: Just did a search on Netflix and it popped up. Will be adding it in my queue.
Edit : 22/04/09
Got the movie today(Contract Killers) and it was so so. Nothing great or outstanding. It was mostly done in Trinidad and the scenes was Port Of Spain and Chaguaramas. This look like it was the same crew who directed Flight Of The Ibis. The main star of Flight Of The Ibis seem to be the bad guy in this movie. As usual they put in a few White Ppl to get some billing but not bad for a low budget.
In some of the Street chases I see they real bang up ah old 626 and Corolla. All the cars in the chase them was ah set ah old car and a few nice car for the back drop. In the car chase they move from down town to chaguaramas in the blink of an eye. The best is when they describe Chaguaramas as the Chaguaramas Jungle. The Movie eh no best flick but it is a little better put together than the previous Flight Of The Ibis II.
Over all I would give it ah 2.5 out of 5.
Tyson opens up about wild life in new documentaryUpdated: May 18, 2008, 12:41 AM EST 87 comments add this RSS blog email print CANNES, France (AP) - Mike Tyson considers it a miracle that he lived to tell his tale. And he's telling it — in graphic detail — in a new documentary at the Cannes Film Festival.
"I lived a wild and extreme life," the former heavyweight champion told reporters Saturday. "I used drugs. I had altercations with dangerous people. I slept with guys' wives that wanted to kill me. I'm just happy to be here, you know. It's just a miracle."
The 41-year-old former boxer got a prolonged ovation at the Cannes screening for "Tyson," directed by his old friend James Toback ("Fingers").
In the movie, which blends old video footage and TV interviews, Tyson talks about getting beaten up and stolen from when he was an overweight kid. He chokes up when reminiscing about his late trainer, Cus D'Amato, who transformed the troubled teenager into a world-class champion.
Tyson spares no details in describing his sex life, and covers his career's low points, like biting Evander Holyfield's ear in 1997. He admits to many, many bad decisions.
But on one issue, he still refuses to take responsibility. He insists he is innocent of the 1991 rape of an 18-year-old beauty queen for which he served three years in prison.
"I've been abusive to women before in my life," he acknowledged. But in this case, "I thought (the conviction) was wrong, I thought it was unfair."
Toback, who has known Tyson for 23 years and gave him small parts in "Black and White" and "When Will I Be Loved," said he talked to Tyson in a soothing, hypnotic voice to get him to open up for the film.

Star Trek was good...thoroughly enjoyed that. Kirk true to form mash een a "Green Ting" and I liked how they introduce the characters and stuff. I was a lil vex in movietowne as two hard back nerdy/geeky ole men sit down right behind me and only talking through the movie. Watch meh when them see the red matter they talk bout all kinda science thing and forming all kinda ting.....dis is before the explaination come thru. Them two fellas like they wife, tell them alyuh go on a man date and like alyuhself.
Waiting for the dvd man on charlotte street for the angels and demons.
Transformers was alright...it was decent.
I have a few issues with this movie.
1) It coulda be 1hr shorter...cut out all dem scenery shot and develop the story with the jokey man/interpreter/translator in the butcher shop faster.
2) In fact you coulda leave out the butcher shop man.
3)The action coulda be slowed down a bit...in most of the fight scenes or the transformations it happen so fast it was simply a blur.
4) The final battle scene shoulda be longer and dreader...is two men he duss out...it needed some more umph in it.
the hangover is one of the best comedies i've seen in years.
anyone see district 9 yet.only because peter jackson direct it i take it een.
That movie is weird ass ,never seen any thing like it .so I just took it off after like half hour .anyone see district 9 yet.only because peter jackson direct it i take it een.
No, but a friend of mine (Nigerian) said it has some anti-Nigerian slants but on the whole it is comical. Not sure I'll see this before it comes out on cable based on her assessment
takin of pelham 123 was damn good,travolta does make ah mean villain.

Paranormal Activity
I watched a little bit of this movie and took it off, not because it was not to my liking but for the fact this sh*t was too scary for me and it was a true story. This movie got me looking at my doors and every lil noise I hear in my house when I am by myself, I get paranoid lol.
Anybody see Avatar yet?I watched about 25 mins of it last night on my computer and decided to go watch it at Imax with the whole 3D thing. It looks good from what I saw so far.
New Moon decent if yuh gyul drag yuh to see it, it is ah movie u could tolerate for the sake of yuh gyul.
I saw Avatar. Will go back to see it 3D. I liked it. Best movie for 2009 that I've seen.The 3D version rell good. For all those who going to see this movie, I recommend yuh spend that lil extra to watch it in 3D.

Has anyone seen the new sherlock holmes movie? Saw it myself, while it was not bad it was not memorable. Found it slow at times and it lacked an ah ha moment. Also the acting tended to be over the top at times.
Anybody ever see this one (from 2007 though)Looks interesting, I'll see if I can find it to watch. Taken is another human trafficking movie that was good.
http://www.youtube.com/v/cdeHCL_DO5E&hl=en_US&fs=1&
Ah man say hangover and mystery in the same sentence... ;D..anyway real funny movie, i eh laugh like dat since the first american pie movie.
Avatar is ah boss movie.
New Moon decent if yuh gyul drag yuh to see it, it is ah movie u could tolerate for the sake of yuh gyul.
De wifey and I going an take een dis bite up on Friday. I saw de first one on DVD and it was decent....better than expected actually. Hopefully de sequel will live up to de hype.Through a series of unfortunate events I ended up seeing this. Tragically boring to say the least. Its not even worth a DVD viewing IMHO. Notwithstanding its chickflickliness the first one was actually a decent movie. This was horrible.
http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/C5wV8feudEo
took in the Avatar tonight.. real worries just to get a ticket in cinemas 8, yuh hadda buy tickets a couple days in advance and still be prepared for a line up. should cool down when all them miserable school children go back to school though.
as for avatar, bess, bess movie, very impressive.. in fact best movie i've seen in 2009..
spend the extra money and watch it in 3D, after all if yuh in Trinidad the extra in trincity just adding up to movie towne price.
Took een Avatar a couple days ago..That is the major theme of the movie -the effect of man's unmitigated greed on the environment. I have to agree that it was one of my favourite movies of 2009. Some of the reviews not as positive but forget dem !
Not sure what you all talking bout extra for 3D, as I got een for $13 and it came with ah free popcorn. Absolutelyone ofthe best movie for 2009.
Besides everything else people mentions about why they think the movie was outstanding, for me it was the story telling.. but not just that. The film started off with real people but as the plot grew and the animated characters morphed into the movie itself, it was hardly noticeable. Brilliant.
Funny enough I was speaking with a Brazilian chick the same night and she said the story reminded her about the amazon and the raping of the forest.
I've never been a fan of 3D, but this was impressive.
Cameron has given us so much to work with for a sequel... can't wait.
No desire to see Sherlock though. Holmes was originally written as a delicate almost effeminate character. Dapper, fashionably dressed, with a brilliant mind. This travesty of a new character is a little too much for me at the moment. I may rent it in a couple of years to waste time. ;D
Anyone looking to take in "The Book of Eli?" I find the Trailer look good plus is the big man in the bizness himself.
see they advertisin ah new flick called GOMMORRAH.movie lookin real good.think is scorcese.
Gomorrah is a rel good film. came out a while now tho, unless it had a re-release in the US. Out on DVD in Europe a while now.
Law Abiding Citizen was dred
State of Play, a lil political thriller for y'all was a good flick too
allyuh that like guitar and rock music, "It Might Get Loud" is a good one. Featuring Jack White, The Edge (from U2) and Jimmy Page.
The Road was very good.
Friggin depressing fuss it powerful.
I had to shake it off and tell myself it's just a movie.
So wham?? nobody see Inception as yet or wha?

food inc. is a decent documentary on the economics of food. some real bullsh*t going on >:(
I drop asleep watching book of Eli....but from the little I watch while 1/2 beppin on mehself.
Denzil real dealing people a portion with that cutlass he have dey.
Watching the road, then this....I need a change of movie scenery from this post apocalyptic theme.
Long weekend so I watching these:
book of eli was sick .
Touches some good movies ive seen recently.
Comedies Miss March was funny .Teen Com- Shes outta my league.
Horror Drag me to Hell ,Day Breakers-post apocalyptic.
Action .Matt Damons .Green Zone .havent seen yet
Good chick flicks/ tear jearkers.-Runaways -about Joan Jett early years .2.The Greatest . 3. Remember Me.
Low Budget - The Crazies.Laid to rest.
Passable movies - Copout,Datenight,The Forth Kind,After Life [Christina Ricci get naked -nice shape:}
Movie i WANT TO SEE. ....Open House ,Splice,Solomon Kane,Inception,
Long weekend so I watching these:
I thought you woulda be in de t.dot takin photos of pretty mas and slackness
Salt from what I heard, isn't nothing to ray about!!
Salt from what I heard, isn't nothing to ray about!!
salt was bad. ah feel bad for chiwetel ejiofor who is an excellent actor and clearly slumming in dis one. :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:
Valhalla Rising was gooda lot of reviews say its bad .?
Saw a couple more in the last few weeks.
Book of Eli : Was decent nothing too big to talk about.
Wolfman. Not bad. But I tired of the Warewolf ting. Time to come with something else.
Brooklyn's Finest. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
BK's Finest, the twist at the end was kinda ehhh, but it was cool.
Also saw The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo... good flick (subtitled, if that is not your thing then try yuh DVD features for the English dub-over)
Smilla's Sense of Snow... finally saw it some months back. Good flick. European movies have a totally different pacing from American films, but I love them.
Book of Eli threw me though... wasn't feeling the ending at all, some implausible shit dey. Was with them up until then. The Hughes brothers is some shit if you ask me, but I have to hand it to them, they have some decent flicks:
Menace To Society
Dead Presidents
From Hell
Book of Eli
Somehow they manage to convince Hollywood to give them money to make movies.
I hear yuh on the twist at the end of Brooklyn's Finest. It was crazy but it make for some good watching I think.
In Book Of Eli I was looking for something like that. I saw a review on the movie in Home Theater magazine and the hint was a really ridiculous ending so I was looking out for it. Sometimes the reviews could really screw up your mojo for a movie. ;D
The brothers I don't think I've seen enough of their movies to make a critic on them. I will take a look at menace to society and Dead Presidents.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Don't think I've heard of it.
Did you see Blood and Bone as yet with Michael Jai White? Decent flick
Aye Bakes you having any problems getting movies(recent) these days from BlockBuster? Man is a trip to get them recent releases. Imagine I cyar get Legion, Unthinkable, Road. I only just get th Book Of Eli last week.
On the strength of that I also checked out Blood and Bone... man, dis movie was a sleeper. Michael Jai White again, playing this underground street fighter. Shame dis man ent getting he due as a martial artist... or as an action star, really... going all the way back to Spawn. Cut-ass sharing from beginning to end, and all of it choreographed of course, but none of it looking fake. And is all kinda break hand and ting man collecting. Good flick.
Just get Ghosts of City Soleil in the mail there... will check it out later this weekend.
-------------------------------
Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is boss... a detective flick really, but only is civilians doing the detective work to revice a cold case involving the 40-year old mystery about the disapperance of a young girl. Instead they stumble into investigating a serial killer at work.
There's a follow up to that coming out this summer called The Girl Who Played With Fire... I checking for that when it come out.

Check out the Millennium Trilogy series of novels by the late Stieg Larsson.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest, were first published in 2005, 2006 and 2007 respectively.

easy reading man .. you can whip through the books in no time. I found though I began to slow down my reading speed cause I did not want to finish them too soon.
Anyobdy saw Piranha and The Expendables yet ?
Also saw 'The Fourth Kind'... a tale of alien encounters, supposedly based on a real story. Seems instead that they went for the mockumentary approach ala 'Blair Witch Project' and failed miserably. Milla Jovovich was the lead actress and I like she, but unless she half-naked and shooting zombies I find she's ah waste ah time. As was this movie.
I thought this wasn't totally bad but was an average movie to me. I gave it a 50/ 50.
B & S, take in Blood Creek and tell me what you think.
From Paris With Love was a surprisingly entertaining and unpredictable movie. I never really knew where it was going, which is a rarity in modern day cinema filled with obvious and sometimes non-sensical plot twists.
I was also pleasantly surprised that it wasn't pure shite, which is the way it was shapin up to be from the trailer.
A sh*tty trailer almost always means a sh*tty movie.

But you had to admit the plot twist was a surprise. I didn't see that one coming at all.
Today I take in Clash Of The titans and totally enjoyed it. No one should even be thinking of watching this movie without a sound Surround System in their arsenal. Without one you would be hearing less than average. I didn't see this in Theatres but was salivating for Audio/Visual effects. People thought it wasn't all that but I enjoyed it so much that I refused to return it. Got to see it just one more time. I gave this a 4.5 stars out of 5.
Unthinkable. Total Suspense. Loved it. Can't say the last time I saw a top of line suspense movie as Samuel seem to do well with these insane kind of characters. 5 Star
Legion. Little bit too much for me but still kept my interest to see what they will come with next. 3.5
You have more belly than men... I was totally psyched about seeing Clash of the Titans, being a big fan of the 1981 original with Harry Hamlin. All ah that was for nought... they try to hide a kindergarten plot behind some CGI bells and whistles and it really ent wuk. Peter Travers from Rolling Stone call it "a sham, with good actors going for the paycheck and using beards and heavy makeup to hide their shame." LOL

Blood and Bone was terrible.
Blood and Bone was terrible.
Ha ha... you musse mad. Nona Gaye and de fight sequences alone make that movie great :devil:
Real jokeyness in this movie. One very irritating ghetto asian, and every single small role was played badly.
The muslim from Oz is a good actor but all he did is recreate that same character, down to the clean living habits, no alcohol, drugs or profanity.
Jai White kept doin his triple-kick to finish off the thugs. Seen it before.
They wastin Jai White time on crap like this.
Put him in a big-budget film.
Blood and Bone was terrible.
Tyson opens up about wild life in new documentaryUpdated: May 18, 2008, 12:41 AM EST 87 comments add this RSS blog email print CANNES, France (AP) - Mike Tyson considers it a miracle that he lived to tell his tale. And he's telling it — in graphic detail — in a new documentary at the Cannes Film Festival.
"I lived a wild and extreme life," the former heavyweight champion told reporters Saturday. "I used drugs. I had altercations with dangerous people. I slept with guys' wives that wanted to kill me. I'm just happy to be here, you know. It's just a miracle."
The 41-year-old former boxer got a prolonged ovation at the Cannes screening for "Tyson," directed by his old friend James Toback ("Fingers").
In the movie, which blends old video footage and TV interviews, Tyson talks about getting beaten up and stolen from when he was an overweight kid. He chokes up when reminiscing about his late trainer, Cus D'Amato, who transformed the troubled teenager into a world-class champion.
Tyson spares no details in describing his sex life, and covers his career's low points, like biting Evander Holyfield's ear in 1997. He admits to many, many bad decisions.
But on one issue, he still refuses to take responsibility. He insists he is innocent of the 1991 rape of an 18-year-old beauty queen for which he served three years in prison.
"I've been abusive to women before in my life," he acknowledged. But in this case, "I thought (the conviction) was wrong, I thought it was unfair."
Toback, who has known Tyson for 23 years and gave him small parts in "Black and White" and "When Will I Be Loved," said he talked to Tyson in a soothing, hypnotic voice to get him to open up for the film.

Eamonn Walker is decent enough, although he di'n really know what he was doing with da sword he did like tuh play with. Ah like of MJW take down Kimbo Slice and he boys in de opening sequence in de prison shower... ah tort Bob Sapp woulda put up more of a fight though, he get beat like ah real bobolee. De setta skinny Mexicans get real licks too... but yeah de li'l Filipino dude was irritating fuh real.
Nona Gaye... mein gott! :notworthy:
Look wikipedia say Eamonn Walker is half Trini.
Walker was born in London to a Grenadian father and a Trinidadian mother, in 1980.[1][2] Brought up in Islington in London,[3] Walker lived in Trinidad for six months when he was nine years old.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eamonn_Walker
to me his most memorable role was as the liberian leader in lord of war.Look wikipedia say Eamonn Walker is half Trini.
Walker was born in London to a Grenadian father and a Trinidadian mother, in 1980.[1][2] Brought up in Islington in London,[3] Walker lived in Trinidad for six months when he was nine years old.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eamonn_Walker
I remember looking him up years ago... because I knew he was British and with a name like Eamonn (Irish name, but one of my great-uncles had the same name) I figured he had to be WI like so many black Brits. I knew he was part Grenadian... but they either didn't have that part about him being Trini, or I forgot about it. Cool, good to know.
--------------------
EDIT: now I wondering how good that info is... Wikipedia have three dates of birth for him, the first sentence say he born 1962... the blurb in the box to the right say he born 1959... and that part about his Trini mother say he born 1980, lol
Baraka!!
no talking
Anyobdy saw Piranha and The Expendables yet ?The expendables is wicked .Worth 8 bucks .It have to go in my collection .
The amazing thing about Robin Hood would be its attention to detail ,from the clothes to weapons .To trying to get all characters and there history ,it would be the most accurate version yet as to the legend .
BTW Prince of Persia is ah good one .
Harry Brown okay flick nothing too much but good solid old time acting by the equalizer(can't remember his name).
Michael Caine...
Bounty Hunter with Gerard Butler and Jennifer Anniston. Didn't enjoy this one at all. Just a flat garbage movie.
Agreed... bullshit. Gerard Butler morphing into the next Russel Crowe, another Commonwealth actor with little range who producers lining up to throw money at.
The Losers okay action for an action starved 2010 movie industry. It filled a bit of a 2010 action void. I think some may enjoy this a bit.
This was decent. Zoe Saldana almost worth the price of admission to see any movie she in. What a fine piece of eye-candy.
Cop Out was hilarious. I thought it was going to be a waste but I was rolling on my sofa with this one.
Straight up funny.
Green Zone. I think they had a lot to say in this one. This one is about the the war that taking place in the mid east right now . Gave a couple insights as to what may have triggered the occupation. Matt Damon starred in this with the same producer that did the Bourne trilogy. I gave this 4 out of 5 stars.
IP Man, the mentor of bruce lee, based on a true story of the occupation of the japanese in china. borse flick

The Prestige was real boss. Definitely see it.
Batman - Under the Red Hood. Big, big cartoon for the cartoon and DC comics fans. Not for the kids though.

steups!
atleast he still asian, when last yuh see ah asian play a role originally designed for ah asian in ah american production
Asians get roles, but when last an asian character get a love interest?Harold and kumar .
Asian actors doh get no play lol.

What? There are plenty examples... from the Rush Hour franchise, to several Jet Li movies (Kiss of the Dragon, Romeo Must Die etc.) For starters there aren't that many ethno-centric roles in Hollywood these days, certainly not many with an asian character exclusively in mind. For another, the days of Kung Fu and Charlie Chan are long past.
In fact I should turn the question on you... when last has a role intended for an asian actor gone to a non-asian?
um, I was refering to more specific cases where d source material are developed around asian characters .....Dragon Ball Z easily comes to mind and there are other cases
ah good fit woulda be di caprio and jet liseth rogen eh fit the role.

"um" what?... I supposed to be a mind reader? How I supposed to know what you meant to say? In fact, using that as a criteria Green Hornet doesn't even count since the movie wasn't developed around Cato's character. There are very few Hollywood movies developed around asian characters, in fact as stated before there are very few movies these days that are developed around ethno-specific characters... Harold and Kumar is about the only one that even remotely comes close in mind. What are these "other cases" that you mention?
Ah see ah new flagflappin movie comminboy I was willing to bet anyting dat hollywood would consider d captain america franchise a big risk ............ah guess d thinking is no more bush, d iraq war, while not forgotten, isn't as big ah draw for anti-american sentiment anymore dat dey could slide dis past and no one would notice :-\ ??? , I imagine if it's one of those america d invincible saves the world with no one else's help kinda deal it mightn' do too well.........especially if he does dispense dat "I untouchable" Steven Seagall bran ah justice

boy I was willing to bet anyting dat hollywood would consider d captain america franchise a big risk ............ah guess d thinking is no more bush, d iraq war, while not forgotten, isn't as big ah draw for anti-american sentiment anymore dat dey could slide dis past and no one would notice :-\ ??? , I imagine if it's one of those america d invincible saves the world with no one else's help kinda deal it mightn' do too well.........especially if he does dispense dat "I untouchable" Steven Seagall bran ah justice
......ah guess if he get he arse royally kicked and jus pulls thru in d end ala John Mc Lane :beermug: ah might be able to stomach it lil bit but we go see
All of this presupposes that Hollywood makes movies for non-American audiences.
waiting for superman is a good documentary about US educational system and the rise of charter schools. somewhat topical given what going on in wisconsin with the teacher's union. they also cover a bit of the attempts by former washington dc mayor adrian fenty to reform the system with superintendent michelle rhee. for de nyc-based, geoffrey canada is featured - dat man is a boss.
I saw the Lantern trailer and was really impressed. To be honest I didn't even know it had a movie in the works, and had even forgotten about Green Lantern as a character, since it's been so long since I was into comics. But I real looking forward to seeing it. I'll ketch Green Hornet when it come out on DVD a month later, b/c I guarantee yuh dat shit tanking at the box office, lol
Will take a read of the articles :beermug:
Fellas, I just get into this thread so I might be a bit late with some info:
Green Hornet big disappointment - was a big fan of the TV series - hopefully they can revamp the movie like they did with the Hulk - shitty producing shouldn't ruin a good story.
Water for Elephants - damn good film and a bonus for those who like period pieces.
Hanna - not bad about a young 16 year old girl trained in isolation from young to battle the CIA. I believe the star is the same girl from the Lovely Bones - Saoirse Ronan.

New Conan movie coming out
Conan the Barbarian (2011)
(http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjIyMTI4MDU4N15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMjA1NjIyNQ@@._V1._SY317_.jpg)
Battlefield LA was real shit....Section 8 was much better.
Sanctum was stale
127 hours is a dread flick...more documentary type but it was a real eye opening movie.
The Eagle was too slow....is another show that had potential but it get water down.
I have Black Swan, Kings Speech, Fighter, Rango and Next 3 days to watch.
Saw X-men last night. I never read the comic (I was enamoured of Spiderman and I'm a relatively loyal woman).
I enjoyed it although I noted they killed the only black dude (Darwin) and the only black woman was a ho...apart from that....good kick and stab movie.
Anybody going to see Rise of the Planet of The Apes? Now THAT looks like a mentally and spiritually disturbing movie.
Storm wasn't in this one. it's a new character...a fire spitting fly...lol
lawd...but I take it back though. My husband corrected me, She isn't a ho, she's an exotic dancer...my bad. ::)
The expression of the face of the chimp is what got me in the trailer...and of course man's incredible ability to self annihilate.
think that is Lenny Kravitz's daughter, Zoe Kravitz
She got all the looks from both parents. Her mom is "Denise" from the Cosby Show. But she's not a good actress...very attractive though.
I could just not say anything, and make sure some of you never even hear about this movie, but I feel some ppl can benefit from my mistake.
Do NOT watch "A Serbian Film".
DO NOT WATCH IT.
In my defense I was checkin out the show list for a horror movie festival. I watched "Red White and Blue" and I will recommend that one. Next on the list was "A Serbian Film". Now I can't bring myself to watch the others in the list.

Transformers was boss... the story weak but not as bad as previous ones. The action though... wow. I still say the Scorponok assault (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6O6iw0uknI) in the desert in Revenge of the Fallen is de best Transformer scene... followed by the chase scene on the highway with the Bonecrusher rollerblading after Bumblebee (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7ALPvOIfUU). There's a near identical scene in this one that really did it fuh me when Bumblebee and Sam was racing along the highway with the Decepticons hot on they trail. The Decepticons crash a truck right in front of them and just before impact Bumblebee transform mid-chase... causing Sam to eject and go flying... jump over the obstruction, pluck Sam out of the air and put him back inside, transforming back into the car all in one. Well yes... I nearly bawl like ah teenage gyul yes. Take it een in 3-D too... niceness.

bay did a decent job but the storyline has changed so much from the cartoon that annoys me a lot when i watch transformers
from starscream voice not being the same to renaming the autobots matrix of leadership to the all spark, is garbage, but i understand why because the matrix series already had been released
parts of the story like metroplex, omega supreme and unikron not being essential, to the original music from the cartoon movie should have been included
i hope they take voltron or robotech to feature film but they will have difficulties because the new generation will think its a bite from transformers >:(
not to mention megatron is still megatron and has not completed the transformation to galvatron >:(

I don't get your ire nah. Megatron's voice is also very different. Who besides Cullen voiced in the original series? The 80's rock power ballads used in the original cartoon were used because it was current music. Why should they use retro music today?
And if you want to see the original storyline with original voices and music, just re-watch the original series.
at least they kept as close to megatron's voice as possible, starscream being a main villain should have had his voice in there, things as those made the cartoon, same way with soundwaves voice, die hard transformers fans like myself who know the cartoon inside out would agree and have agreed that there were failures in the storyline and with the characters
whats wrong with doing a cover of the song? millions know the song, and would have loved some elements to remain, thats what made transformers a huge cartoon, this version has lost its way on many angles.

What you and the other diehards fail to acknowledge, is that they didn't make the movie fuh allyuh, but to appeal to a wider audience. This version "lost its way" to becoming a legitimate franchise and smashing box office success.
Megatron's voice in the current movies is much deeper and spoken lower than in the cartoon. It sounds like he was speaking under his breath. (It was Agent Smith for those who interested). In the cartoon Megatron's voice was loud and harsh. I don't think they tried to keep it like it was at all.
Soundwave's voice was well done in the movies.
The Quintessons and Galvatron, that came after two whole seasons in the movie, which gave them enough time to tell the story.
The movies could have been weak if they used more of the original plot too especially with the time constraints. If that had happened men like you would be livid.

its doing well at the box office because the majority of viewers don't know a thing about transformers, they going based on marketing hype, not because the movie is great and has a superior plot to other sci fi movies

"Marketing hype" would explain a good opening box office weekend... followed by poor numbers. The strength of the franchise over three installments now is testament that the movie is successful, independent of any supposed marketing hype... not even sure why you're trying to argue this. But at any rate, even if I were to concede your point for argument's sake... all the studio is concerned about is the bottomline, and as you've admitted, it's doing well at the box office.
sometimes its more than just the bottom line breds 8)

That's like saying "it doesn't matter if you win or lose, as long as you play pretty football".
Unfortunately for you the only opinions the producers care about is that of their accountants and financial advisers. As long as that stays positive then the rest of 'us' can keep shaking our fists at the sky all we want.
Contro I was hoping that the Transformers movies would be along the lines of the cartoon, but after the first one, obviously that was not the intent and I gave up hope.
Maybe someone will do a reboot in 10 years time like they did with Batman.

its funny you say that because i liken that line to transformers, because it lacks substance but looks pretty to the movie goer, pulling a profit because of their marketing dollars behind it and michael bay as director
not because of great acting or a screenplay, but thats how movies are now, all graphics and explosions without the in dept storyline to make it a great movie

Dude...you and this "marketing" nonsense... people going to the see the movie because they want to see ah action movie... not because "marketing" have dem tie up. This is the third installment, everybody know what Transformers is about by now, the movie marketing itself. I mean I understand yuh's ah big fan and disappointed and all ah that, but that shouldn't stop you from recognizing that people going to see the movie on its own merits and not because they getting duped by hype. That's just nonsense.
you are not giving credit to the media and its power in terms of marketing a product to consumers
your talking about over 55 million dollars on an action movie, 5 times the budget of an oscar winning feature film from earlier this year as an example. without the marketing transformers would have generated less revenue because the storyline is weak and the acting is not what many expected from a michael bay blockbuster film.
its beyond seeing an action, take for instance films like sucker punch and priest, action movies, good directors and big budgets, it flopped, transformers is generating that revenue because of how popular the cartoon was, that garnered the initial interest, with bay directing it added more to it, throw in meghan fox a sex symbol and shia an upcoming young actor making waves in hollywood
however, the script/screenplay, the acting and the storyline bay decided to base the screenplay on was weak, so 55 million plus in marketing was needed to cover up the deficiencies in the screenplay and acting.

No amount of marketing will make a shitty movie successful.
No amount of marketing will make a shitty movie successful.
It would be interesting to see the breakdown of the average revenue/profit percentage split between the front end box office and back end sales/rentals.
If the back end usually accounts for a significantly larger share I'd have to agree with this statement, otherwise you can argue the other way because I imagine alot of box office sales are based on marketing, promos (hype) and guessing on the part of the public...rather than the actual known quality of an product (because it's probably largely unknown at that stage...)

From since the previous cartoons, tv series, movies....charlton heston days... I just find is a kinda slavery concept disguised as entertainment.
Colombiana wasn't bad. They coulda work on the script a little bit though.
Expect Zoe to be in a higher quality movie. But then this is probably a vehicle to launch her as a solo star.
Nice scene in the beginning where the schoolgir had to run from the Mafia. Doh want to say more to spoil it for yuh.
Rise of the Apes wasn't bad. They had to come up with a good reason as to why the Apes became so evolved. Now they have to link it to how the hell they end up with talking apes and guns on another planet.
If Zoe do a lesbo scene with Halle Berry - dat go sell out right dey.
Now soembody go steal meh idea and made de movie. ;D

There might be a miscomprehension here. The old one. Charlton Heston was inthe future Earth. And all the Ape movies were based on our Earth.
With Walbergh, he got lost on another planet - not Earth. When he got away, he landed on our Earth. But it was a society run by Apes. What freak him out was that the Abe Lincoln statue in Washington had an Ape with the same pose.

If Zoe do a lesbo scene with Halle Berry - dat go sell out right dey.
Now soembody go steal meh idea and made de movie. ;D
VB
Well I ent watch this one but as far as I know the Planet of the Apes series is on Earth in de future... it never had no next planet
in the old episodes, it was an alternate reality and also in the distant future, i don't know anything about another planet
the last installment with wahlberg showed he went into the future and then he went further into the future afterwards a 2nd time
There might be a miscomprehension here. The old one. Charlton Heston was inthe future Earth. And all the Ape movies were based on our Earth.
With Walbergh, he got lost on another planet - not Earth. When he got away, he landed on our Earth. But it was a society run by Apes. What freak him out was that the Abe Lincoln statue in Washington had an Ape with the same pose.
VB
Well looks like I am partly wrong. Althought I am sure in the Walberg version he landed on planet that wasn't earth. Turns out Ris of the Apes is a reboot, not a sequel. However, you'll notice that a rocket was lost in Space i Rise - so that should pave the way for a sequel.
Apparently, although Walberg's movie was successful, the director - Tim Burton didn't wish to do a sequel.
They coulda just blank he ass nad use another director.

The Planet of The Apes series is the definition of creators “making it up as they go along”.
You are right about the Wahlberg movie, the final scene was just to put a shock in there to match the iconic original movie but there is no way for them to really hold on to that final scene and reconcile it in a sequel.
You are also right about the first series. It was all based on our earth and it had a time paradox where the intelligent Apes of the future, travelling back to the past, were instrumental in the events that led to the eventual fall of man.

No different from Terminator...
Saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes last night.
giving it a cool 6 out of 10.
Lovely Frieda Pinto needed more lines instead of those sound bites. She's a vet for pete's sake, surely she had more input in this animal story? Lithgow was his inimitable self. The neighbour had a corbeau peeing on him all through the movie. Franco needs acting lessons for his face.
Was that Malfoy as the zoo keeper's son?
Ending was dotish as hell.
All Hail Caesar.
Saw it last night as well... I'd rate it much higher, like an 8. Much better than I expected. Freida Pinto is lovely to look at, but that's about it. Even with her minimal lines I heard her Bollywood accent peeking thru... in addition to her not having a very substantial role in the movie, I imagine that this was a consideration in minimizing her lines.
I'm curious to know what effect ALZ-13 has on humans... although I have a very good idea.
Probably my favorite part was where Ceasar spoke for the first time... powerful.
Ending was fine for me... sets up the sequel brilliantly if they so desire.
p.s. yeah, that was Malfoy as the son of the shelter owner. The owner himself is played by Brian Cox, another brilliant British character actor. Most would know him as Col. Stryker in X2, few might remember him from Spike Lee's "The 25th Hour", one of my all-time favorite movies. Even fewer will know him for having initiated the role of "Hannibal Lechter" in a 1986 movie called "Manhunter", the first treatment of Thomas Harris' most famous character, later remade as "Red Dragon"... another of my all-time favorite movies. Reading between the lines, one can tell I'm a big Edward Norton fan ("25th Hour" and "Red Dragon").
What's wrong with the Bollywood accent though? I was reading elsewhere where people were upset that our Miss Universe candidate didn't have an authentic accent.
ah well..it didn't bother me.
The end asked too much from me though. The apes just killed countless police and trashed places and Franko is saying "hey come home I'll protect you." An ape just talked to you and you barely register a raised eyebrow? People going about their business, nothing is said about the fact that hundreds of apes now own the park across the harbour. Dude dons his pilot suit and gets onboard dripping blood.
yes it sets up the series but not brilliantly at all - rather disingenuously and at the expense of a solid ending to the first of a series. Roddy McDowell would be incensed...lol
Recognized the zookeeper from X2 but I'm too much of a wuss to have seen those other movies.
Malfoy has stereotyped himself into an unlikeable sort - whether blue blooded wizard or red necked hick...yick.

Thanks, I just watched and enjoyed it a lot.
Blue Valentine - Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling...
If yuh like relationship drama type movies - a good watch.
Not sure if anyone post about it yet... but "Hereafter" is a boss movie... about three parallel stories, and how death affects each of the protagonists. Powerful.
Produced and Directed by Clint Eastwood.
Bakes for some reason I did not enjoy this movie. Not sure why, I remember when I was watching it, I was just getting annoyed with Matt Damon. Was eerie leaving Movietowne after seeing it. Whole cinema walk out in basic silence yes. Like noone knew what to say

The other day I watch Your Highness with Danny McBride and James Franco.
Approach with caution, it have real gayness that supposed to be funny.
I wonder if shows like this are meant to desensitize a certain demographic to gay content.
I got a few laughs but it wasn't worth the time.
Just finish watching "Due Date" on de DVR... with Robert Downey, Jr. and Zach Galifianakis or whatever he name. It arrite... not the best but it have it's moments. It have dis one scene whey Jamie Foxx and Downey in ah pick up with ZG in de tray... and they decide tuh fack wid him. I nearly dead when ah see pardna ketch some air... I swear ah wake up mih neighbors and dem. Only LOL moment doh.seen it couple months ago.RD does nail any role he play,zach funny as hell.
Ladies and Gents...I want to say thanks to all of you who contribute and continue to do so to this thread.
Alyuh does save meh plenty money when going to the neighbourhood pirate dvd man. Plus I could select carefully when I do decide to hit a movietown.
I ent calling names...but some reviewers tastes and critiques are similar to mine...whereas others I does just shake meh head and say nah boy...like he was watching a completely different movie or gettin some kinda action in the cinema while show going on.
Honestly I ent watch a good show in a while...I now finish looking at Lincoln Lawyer the other day...it was aight.
Watch Thor on Blu Ray after seeing it 3D in the theater. BIG improvement. Opt for HD if you can cuz it looks spectacular. I originally thought Captain America was better, but now I have to think about it.
I tink that scene from Due Date was in the trailer yes...

Due date was a boss flick. I real laugh with this.
IF anyone enjoy due date I think you will like Hall Pass . Owen Wilson was a blast in this I think.
Hereafter with Matt Damon I just couldn't get it and find it real dead to put it mildly.
Rogue - Aussie croc film. Good entertainment especially if yuh plan on visiting the outback.

'The Secret of Kells' is a real decent little animated flick. Simple animation and storyline but very effective and very enjoyable IMO. Starts a little slow but real magic by the end.
I watched Fast Five recently. This one was better than the last few. Nice cars and nice women is always entertaining, but this one had a little bit more.

for comic book fans they will always be excited to see their childhood comic heroes in a feature film, especially with the advancement of special effects & graphics in movies now.
marvel will not use the best trailer, it will reveal too much, keep it simple and keep as much as a teaser as possible, let the fans keep thinking and talking
I also find the trailer have nothing to it. Exciting to know that they bringing the characters to screen but they done promote the hell out of that and all the characters appear in recent movies already so it ent nothing to see them in these short clips.
Also Marcos is right a Marvel vs DC will be a hot mess. One thing does kill these superhero franchises is character bloat. Every bad sequel (spider-man 3, Batman and Robin, X3) has an increase in villains or heroes. Avengers already in danger of that since it is kind of a sequel to IM, Captain America, Thor, Hulk and the cast relatively big.
Even IM which was the big success that make all the following ones possible had a piss poor sequel in IM2. No surprise there were 2 heroes and 2 antagonists.
Marvel vs DC would never happen but if it did the only way it would work is with one or two characters like Batman and Captain America, not an emsemble.
Also if you guys want to see a really good representation of the Avengers check out the 1st season of Avengers:Earth's Mightiest Heroes. It should be on Netflix.
The subjectivity of this statement notwithstanding, this couldn't be any further from the truth. Iron Man 2 was both a critical and box office success. The critical reception and cost-to-profit ratio wasn't as impressive as the first one, but calling it "piss poor" is a gross exaggeration.
As for the trailer... it arrite, all the elements to get man ah li'l hype, but I was hype off the GI Joe: Rise of Cobra trailer and that turn out to be utter bunk. So we'll see. I must say... as I said a couple weeks ago, I was very pleasantly surprised by Captain America, and Thor, while not spectacular, was decent in its own right. Not sure what that bodes for this movie though.
I admit that it was a very biased statement and that everybody else like it. I just think it was a huge drop off from IM. I would put it in X3 and Spider-man 3 category. I just think about it and remember that the black Widow was in it too so it is even a better example of useless character bloat in a sequel.
Also to me GI Joe look like tata from the trailer so I was able to watch it with zero expectations.
i know this isn't a movie but is anyone into the walking dead series on AMC? season 2 starts tomorrow!

For those who into de contemporary western movie genre, leh meh hear all yuh favorite. Mine is Tombstone.
Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday was dread in that role. De showdown between him and Johnny Ringo, and de build up to it was epic. The movie may not have been an accurate depiction of what really went down at de O.K. Corral, but it was certainly entertaining. Ah next fav is Young Guns 2...

yeah, kilmer real nail dat role.
my guilty pleasure: the quick and the dead. sharon stone real look good in dat one and leo di caprio was good. of course eastwood's the unforgiven was fantastic. ah haven't seen the remakes of 3:10 to yuma or true grit yet. thing is them old westerns had some real racism going on and hollywood get all liberal, so dey have to tread lightly with de remakes.
firebrand, yuh ever check out the tv series deadwood? that was a boss series. ian mcshane was 4king amazing as al swearengen. and ah real hate hbo for cancelling dat series.
aside: gene hackman really do a turn as the charismatic villain, even before the joker in those batman movies - ah mean hackman as lex luthor was absolute classic.
'I saw the Devil'
Not a horror...a wicked action/thriller. A Korean version of 'Hostel' combined with 'The Fugitive'
The ting so good you wouldnt even notice the subtitles

Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows was boss. Ah think ah still prefer the first one, but this was really good too.I planning on seeing Tattoo next week too. Let's compare notes.

Fer sherr... ;D
Ah suppose to take it in on Friday.
Don't know if it was mentioned in here before, and I might be rhell late to de dance..
But i watching a series here called Breaking Bad which have me hooked. Now about halfway through season 3 with one more season to go after and i can't get enough.
Series is about a high school chemistry teacher who found out he had cancer and decide to start making crystal meth. And is bacchanal after bacchanal.
What impresses me the most is the quality of the acting in the series, from the main character Walter White, to the wife.. Pretty much everyone in the show on top of their acting game.
Check out the imdb link here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903747/
Saw Girl with Dragon Tattoo and MI4 (IMAX) back to back.
Two movies that kept me at the edge of my seat using two different styles.
Tattoo was great, not excellent. I found having read the book before I saw version #1 helpful as some details in version #1 were not explained. Version 2 did a better job in this regard. Many details were included such as the relationship between Mikael and Erika and Mikael and Lisbeth. I like how the flashbacks worked to explain what happened the day Harriet disappeared. Version 2 was weak in showing the downfall of Wennerstrom though. Version 1 and version 2 each stand on their own as two great movies. Both very enjoyable.
Watching MI4 in IMAX was fun. Lots of excitement. Enjoyed that film for entirely different reasons. So that's pretty much fill up my big screen quota for the next 6 months.
Two movies which I saw recently and which I highly recommend are the Help and Warriors.
I believe the black woman who starred in the Help will get nominated for an Oscar.

caught tinker tailor soldier spy. strongly advise watching the original tv series first. they basically cram 6 hours into 2 hours and it was difficult to follow for people not familiar with the plot.

I liked it. Take it in last night with company who had never read the book nor seen the 2009 original. Surprisingly, she thought it started fast and ended too slow. I guess because at the start she head was swimming with trying to keep up with the Vanger clan's members and with the frequent flashbacks. I on the other hand worried she mighta pan it due to the fact that there was so much development of the back story and little action at the start... followed by a hastily-done wrap up at the end.
I was very impressed by how Rooney Mara was able to approximate Noomi Rapace's mannerisms in this movie. Not sure if it was intentional or not, but going into the movie I was a huge skeptic... but she was excellent. I thought the original handled the rape scene (and revenge scene) better. Thought Martin's end, and Wennerstrom's downfall was handled better in the original as well.
Rooney Mara was a beast though, I eh go lie.
I bracing MI4... not a fan of Tom Cruise and having less and less success envisioning him as an action star. I can't even remember MI3... that's how much of an impression it made on me.
Looks like Sony is going ahead with the next film with Mara and Craig even though they only raked in $60 million in NA and $12 million in other markets to date. Production budget was $90 million. But Sony says they are on track for >$100 million in box office receipts.

I still haven't found a modern western to match the Leone movies though. Once Upon A Time In The West might be the greatest western ever made. Maybe my standards are too high? Maybe Leone just spoiled me.

I read a poll once of the greatest westerns ever and this was considered number one. Good stars but I found it a bit anticlimatic. There seemed to be a lot of proacastinating and a lot of "gallerying" during the movie. Probably that was considered cool in the 60s but I found it a bit stale. And like a lot of Italian Westerns music and gun shots was overloud.
Now Rio Bravo with John Wayne, Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson that was a true classic. Great characters who played off each other.

Finally finished the entire Breaking Bad season yesterday and now can conclusively say that was the single most amazing piece of TV drama i have ever watched in my life. I rating it that highly.
The season 4 finale was simply breathtaking to the point where a day later i still thinking about the scene that play off there. There are entire sites, blogs and youtube videos dedicated to discussing the serious heights that play off there.
Cannot wait for season 5. Apparently it will be the final season, 16 episodes long.
Yuh recognize yuhself or wha? :devil:
(yuh walk into that one, I couldn't resist)
I just watched Insidious, it was good for a few tense moments.
Hoss did you really just rate Green Lantern and Captain America above Transformers? :yellowcard:

I must say I thought they were spending too much time on that farm but after the hiatus things REAL take an expected turn.
Anybody else notice that the first three episodes after the hiatus, the black man hardly appear and barely say three words. The last episode they give him a little more. Is like dey doh want the man in the series.

That is how yuh do a trailer boy. :applause: Might be better than the movie.
In Immortals, the god who was fightin with a chain caused some horrible deaths.
Tower Heist was good, one of the better comedies out there.
Wrath of the Titans.. bare shite, as de Bajans would say. Once more the demi-monsters steal the show with the über-monster being some overly cooked up giant behemoth who's too big or too slow to really be effective against the Perseus-Pegasus pairing. Not really hard to out-manoeuvre a beast moving in slow-mo. The underwhelming effect is further underscored when said beast ends up going out like a bitch... you almost want to ask yuhself "I mean really? How you survive so long if it was so easy to kill yuh?"
LOL .. I dozed off during minutes 5 to 10, even after paying de premium to watch it in 3D Imax. Special effects were cool in this format. But that was about it.

The Debt - badass Helen Mirren as a Mossad operative. Good movie.

oh gaaardo... Thor and Hulk win... :rotfl:
Black widow ent look too bad though
In preparation for the upcoming Prometheus, I started rewatching the Alien movies. The first one was so good eh, 1979 and they pull off a sci-fi masterpiece.
BTW it looks like it's the same alien ship or at least same type of ship in both movies.
I really lookin forward to this one.

Took one of my children to see hunger games, must admit I was disappointed (never read the books).Did not like it either... The flame costume was the best part of the movie for me.
People raved about it, but for me nah!
Far from disappointing... I hearing nothing but glowing reviews from friends who see Avengers. Break the all-time box office opening weekend record, $200 million over the weekend. Break Harry Potter record.

I thought it possible that the movie could fail to deliver on the hype and expectation given the the cookie-cutter early trailers. It definitely delivered on the promise of the trailer and got good critical reviews. The money it made is a different issue altogether.
I saw it and thought it was good, not spectacular but I am going back to watch it again and I probably will buy it when it comes to disc. Very similar to the last Transformers (in several ways) the movie was good eye candy, near perfect action design, effects and choreography and a good mix of humour with the action.
I think if you are a big fan of the comic books there are some real sour points but it is nothing unique to this Marvel movie, it is just really emphasized here. But I kinda give up on wanting movies to have a high fidelity to comic book sources. They often don’t have fidelity to other books and plays that they adapt to screen either. I don’t bitch about the LoTR not being faithful to the books, having not read them, so I really can’t bitch about comic book movies doing the same.

You warned Avengers fans to beware of being disappointed, the box office success and early reviews suggests that your concern may have been unnecessary. Performance at the box office is the only sign of success or failure that really matters. Fans of the genre could pan or rave about a movie but at the end of the day money is what's required to make a movie and money determines whether it spawns any sequels.
Oscar nominations/wins. They matter.Sure...

Saw Mission Impossible on the plane. What a load of crap! Also had time to watch Contraband and I enjoyed it. Love heist & con movies
I normally look at performance at the box office after the first week as a better indicator compared to gross profit... The hype and glitz could have a blockbuster film rack up record numbers in the first week, but if its a disappointing experience for fans, it normally tapers out fast over the following weeks as the word gets around.
something about the Avengers have me feeling like I could go back and take it in again... And i've heard that from a number of people as well, so i'm sure this have plenty legs to run.
I didn't get into the money thing because I wasn't in doubt about whether the movie would be a financial success, that was always going to happen. The concern I expressed was a different one, that it could have easily been a disappointing experience for fans.
It didn't happen but not every thing that you wary of happens and its not as if there aren't examples of much anticipated movies being disappointing viewing experiences.
Seems you taking it as though I throwing it in yuh face that ha ha yuh was wrong... if so then that's not the case. I merely pointing out what a resounding success it was quite to the contrary, and perhaps despite the fears of many.
So true.... and with dem inflated movie ticket prices I cyar even remember when last I went to the movies more than once to see de same flick. Hell, I might even take it een a third time...maybe in Imax...

I definitely going back, but that is partly because I sleep though a good bit of the first half. As for generally watching things twice, I can't remember doing that in a long while too, more because of time than price. I sneak off to see this one solo on opening weekend so I will get to see it again on my next date night.
with hi tech CGI,, look like hollywood figure out how to do superheo movies right
whey allyuh think...Justice League next?..or maybe Power Man?

Avengers is well worth whatever hype out there about the film... I took moms to see it and she was asleep within half an hour LOLjeezan ages bakes...i go swear u wukkin fuh sikkel and ebert.......anyway i goin weekend with meh daughters.
but nah, that was more de "itis" than anything, we went to dinner for Mothers Day right before. She wake up and thorougly enjoyed it. to my surprise she also knew most of the characters (moms is 73 and was never into comics).
My take on it is that it's an excellent movie... absolutely worth the hype. One pardna of mine called it the best superhero movie ever and I look at him sideways. I have to say, having seen it now I completely agree. The Dark Knight might have something to say about that... but Avengers come real good. Hulk is a facking beast!!
I make no guarantees... but I would be really surprised if folks didn't like it. The storyline is always secondary in these action movies, but in this case it was credible and well-developed. The one knock I would make is that to an extent you kinda have to see "Thor" to really pick up the backstory because they don't really explain it. The gist of it though (and this is not a spoiler for me to say it) is that Thor and Loki are brothers, and that Loki tired of playing second fiddle in the Asgardian band and decide to act out in "Thor" by unleashing hell on Earth.
Avengers kinda pick up the story from there... and if you go see it that should help you understand the storyline better.
The character development is also excellent, I love the natural affiliations and antipathy that form among them... as with 'humans' in the real world, you'll like some people and not like others... even in the midst of adversity. That was a nice touch.
Lawd... and action galore fuh de comic geeks like me. It was a special thrill for me to see my two favorite superheroes growing up, Iron Man and Thor, in action... in the same movie. Bess flick!
Warched Sherlock Holmes with my kids last night. I enjoyed RDJ, convincing actor & adds something to every role. Good flick with a nice mix of action & humor
took in the Avengers last night in 3D. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to after the last credits rolled.
Even started to clap and laugh out loud after the Hulk and Loki encounter. LOL
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Very enjoyable movie.

"ENOUGH!! Enough! I am a GOD and I will NOT be bullied by a common human".
...I nearly dead yes lol
I like Downey, Jr. too and love his interpretation of Sherlock Holmes. My gripe with him is that he and Favreau seem to believe he must play Tony Stark the same exact way, and for me it eh really working. It was arrite in the first Iron Man, but kinda overbearing by the time the second one reach.
Alright, so I deliberately didn't read any of the comments on the before I went to see it. I now realise that since I wasn't no big comic geek growing up dais why I was kinda "bleh" watching the movie. My superheroes growing up were Spiderman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman (and Robin anybody remember dem ole episodes from the 60's??).......

The best superhero movie of all time for me is still Superman The Movie and I was not a big Superman fan growing up. They did so many things right in that movie casting, characters, score, theme. They didn't change the costume too much or feel bad about putting him in high boots, tights and jockey-shorts, and cape like they do with so many other movies. They also went with the idea of him hiding his secret identity with a pair of glasses without questioning its realism or practicality.
This was the biggest of the problems that I had with the Avengers. One of the things that make it a good but not great great experience for me was constantly having to remind myself that this was supposed to be Iron-Man.
RDJ portrayal of Iron-Man is not the Iron-Man in the books. There were hints of this Downey-ness in the first movie, specifically the final scene with the “I am Iron-Man” reveal. That was a real sour note but overall the movie was good.
The second was all about that obnoxious, lovable rogue BS, from the cheerleaders, to the Senate committee hearing, to the snarky one-upmanship with Justin Hammer.
This movie turned out to be more of the same. Whereas in the books Iron-man was actually a very straight character, the group organizer, rule-setter and planner for the Avengers, here they had him as this anti-authority, too cool for school, wise-cracking, arrogant hipster. I had to pull back and just enjoy the visuals, the action and the humour and ignore plot and characterization.

MIB 3 - OK movie. Mediocre 1/2 half. The dialog and banter between J and K was lacking but had promise but got a lot better in the last 1/2. A teary-eye scene towards the end and nice wrap-up. Just ignore the time travel paradoxes etc.

I just saw they have a movie coming out "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter"...where the hell do they come up with this stuff? Thats why I haven't been to a movie theater in a year.

true talk.
i see another good title "nazis at the center of the earth"I swear they're not even trying anymore, seems they're just taking two ideas and mashing them together (Abraham Lincoln/Vampires, Nazis/Center of Earth, Cowboys/Aliens, etc.). I now see "Snow White and the Huntsman" I don't know what the hell its supposed to be but it looks like crap. Next will be "Bambi and the Flesh Eating Zombies" (in CGI) or something.

The regular Snow White story has a huntsman in it, that eh no mashup.I haven't seen that since I was like 5 so maybe I'm wrong on that but all of the other examples still stand (though the new Snow White still looks terrible).
There's also Iron Sky (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034314/), about Nazis on the moon.

Allyuh need to stop hating on Robert Downey's Ironman. I loved him. :D
I loved the whole movie - even the Scarlett chick wasn't as annoying as I expected her to me.
Loki was a boss...Captain America...lol...I liked the new actor for Hulk - he did very well.
I also like the way he learnt to 'control' his episodes. "That's my secret Captain - I'm always angry." So he's created a new baseline for himself...kind of cool.
The actor who plays Loki - brilliant.
But I was marginally disappointed in Thor - they powered him down and for the comic people, can Captain America's shield really deflect Hammer?
Snow White and the Huntsman looking boss.

I think if anything this is a lesson in managing expectations. There were one or two eye-rolling moments, and a couple cliched "white people do dumb shit in horror movies" moment (no offense white people... I kid I kid)... but other than that it stayed true to the genre.
There was one key scene that was pivotal to the storyline and which sought to shore up Rapace's bonafides as a heroine, where the execution was lacking. It just defied belief... any woman who has had a "difficult" pregnancy would relate. Advances in science, medicine and technology aside, that was a pure GTFOH moment. The heroism part was great... we are left questioning not her grit or desire for self-preservation... but rather the sheer improbability of it all. Won't say anymore on that for those still intent on seeing it.
I think it would have been nice had they channeled some more of the "Alien" movies creepy, predatory atmosphere and sequences... but alas. btw... now that I think of it... why do the aliens need humans anyways? Incubators? Hardly, they seem to get along fine in our absence. Then there's that whole retractable inner jaw thing... it's not like they eat our flesh... scary as those mandibles might be. Seems they just like spearing us with their jaws and busting out of our stomachs Meh... kinda weak when you really think of it.
The ending left a lot to be desired, but again... I fully expected (having read the reviews) that there would be no nicely packaged endings here. For me it was all a matter of how they were going to set up the next movie... which I thought was done in an okay fashion. I would have liked to learn more about why we were "engineered" and why the engineers decided to turn on us... it's not like we stole their fire... *shrug*

Grimm... what questions yuh have? Leh we compare notes nah. Just put ah spoiler alert up top if necessary.
Finally finished the entire Breaking Bad season yesterday and now can conclusively say that was the single most amazing piece of TV drama i have ever watched in my life. I rating it that highly.
The season 4 finale was simply breathtaking to the point where a day later i still thinking about the scene that play off there. There are entire sites, blogs and youtube videos dedicated to discussing the serious heights that play off there.
Cannot wait for season 5. Apparently it will be the final season, 16 episodes long.

season 5 starting in a few weeks with an 8-episode apertura and 8-episode clausura a few months after. dem writers will earn their keep for this last season; closing out a series is no easy thing eh.
Took in the new Spider man last night, I was not impressed by it. We can discuss it when most of you have seen it. All I have to say is I think they catered this movie for the IMAX enjoyment.

that forking thing made me fall back on real work a couple months back. decided to take een a few episodes.. ended up watching all 4 seasons in a row. Many times I wanted to hit the young fella a slap oui.
Wrath of the Titans was crap, I just didn't enjoy it. Might be because I think Sam Worthington's characters all have one personality.
John Carter was very good, I thought it would be foolish but the story was good, with a nice final reveal. It had good actors, before watching it I didn't know who was in it beyond Gambit. You could tell the princess spent some time in the gym. ;D
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was good. You have to listen closely but the build-up was good. Stellar cast in this one.

Nah not in cinema, I "found" a copy online. I wanted to see the fiery demons in battle. That scene looked cool but does not redeem the movie.
I also saw a kinda horror with Willem Dafoe called Antichrist. Man that was a messed-up story. It's a Lars von Trier movie, I know he has some other weird stuff out there. Willem Dafoe's wife well f**k him up. Would not watch again.

Dem is two classics... discussed them back near the start of the thread. Just watched another Guy Ritchie (Producer) gem the other night "Mean Machine". Mighta been mentioned in this thread before, can't remember. Basically, Vinnie Jones plays this footballer, former captain of the English MNT, implicated in throwing a game... and who burdened by that goes on a drunk driving spree. He get lock up in a prison where the Warden... sorry, Governor... is a gambling addict. The decide to play a game Cons vs. Guards. 'Nuff kicks, and some decent football too. Not exactly Escape to Victory... but good enough.
Thats sounds like pretty much the exact same plot from The Longest Yard (both versions)
Yes, the team name was even the Mean Machine, must've just been a remake.Thats sounds like pretty much the exact same plot from The Longest Yard (both versions)
That's true... was the Adam Sandler/Burt Reynolds character accused of throwing games? Can't remember.

The Dark Knight Rises ... boss movie. I have to rank it up there as one of the best "comic book super hero" movies if not the best to date. :beermug:
The only downside was the audio. Some dialogue was unintelligible. Two much growly, raspy speech from Bane and Batman.
Anybody vibesing the new season of Breaking Bad?
This is the 5th and final season, but it is split between 8 episodes first half and 8 more episodes second half, 16 to come in all.
First 2 episodes was good... Mike moving like ah dread badman.. I interested to see the direction they take the series now that Gus out the picture. Interestingly enough, the first 2 episodes seem to be focusing on specific characters and we not seeing much of the other characters that had their own storylines going like Saul, Hank wife, Walt family etc. I guess they still setting the stage.

yeah, that opening scene from episode 2 was mad. from "franch" to the auto defibrilator. walt turn into a real creepy MF. skyler have some fight though - ah feel she have a few stunts to pull again. and mike making moves - all this talk about walking away and inexplicably he back in?!
but lydia - wda?! she seem like a marie antoinette - real unstable.
The season 4 finale show me that Walt is ah sick individual.

Yuh lorse mih dey? how so?
seems to me gus force he hand,,is either gus had to dead first or walt and he family gettin dus out
Went and take in the Dark Knight Rises last night in Movietowne, 1030pm flick...
After hustling down there thinking i would be too late and have to fight up with crowd and end up in pit looking up 90 degrees, i was real surprised to find that the cinema was only about 1/4 full... I don't know if its that whole scene in the US that deter people or the late movie on a Thursday night, but for a movie this big i woulda thought it woulda been much more pressure like how it was with Avengers.
The movie as expected was boss.. Bane as a villain was excellent, in fact only marginally less dread than the Joker.. Nolan really carry us down to the depths of despair and hopelessness in this one, which I find was great. Agreed that some of the dialogue from Bane was inaudible with the raspiness.
Can't really say much more without being a spoiler.
Will be interesting to see where they take the Batman franchise given that this is the last in the trilogy.

The only other way out for Walt at the end of eason 4 was to go to the DEA. That's one theme BB has developed consistently is Walt's ride. That man eh easy atall. Is to the point is no longer about family, is about him.
Took in Total Recall last night....Not a bad flick to watch on a boring Sunday evening. I saw that a sequel to "Taken" is coming out, that look like it will bad ass
Saw "Dark Knight Rises"... good flick. Still think "The Dark Knight" was much better... but this was also excellent.
Saw "Total Recall"... too bad it can't be totally recalled. Waste ah time movie. Had its moments, but I rate it merely enjoyable, as opposed to being good.

Somebody mentioned Incendies. Damn that was good. Best drama I've seen in a long time. And it lost in the best foreign film category so that winner have to get watched too.
Anybody went and see Cabin in the Woods?
Is a horror/comedy/satire. That movie is real tears. Recommended.

Yeah that was a boss flick. Tension right down to the bitter end.
If it has not been mentioned already allyuh should check out a film called Amores Perros (Love's a bitch). IMO Probably one of the best flims made anywhere in the last 15 or so years.
A next one many of ya'll probably done see already....Confederate States of America....was damn good. Its a historical documentary, comedy and reality TV rolled into one. Its about what America would be like today if the South had won the war and kept slavery legal. Big big flim.
Any reviews on Taken 2

Not sure why they spoiled a good thing with this one. Basic fight scenes, story line was terrible and his daughters role was not well written. Ms ting driving stick like ah boss and couldn't even pass she drivers test. They should have stopped at part 1.
I think it was the father shifting gears for her. I agree though, the movie was a waste of money for me...wayyy to predictable.Any reviews on Taken 2

Seen Taken 2 last week..not bad, nothing specialI had a chance to read the script for Django a while back and could not put it down! I hope Tarantino do the script justice. Based on the themes people going to get vex, but I can't wait to see it.
This movie is next for me.. http://myvoicetv.net/video-new-django-unchained-trailer/
There's also Iron Sky (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034314/), about Nazis on the moon.
I dunno if anybody mentioned Safe with Statham. I real enjoy dat. The fight scenes were powerful and "Mr. Bohannon" kick some ass too.

Tarantino too liberal with he use of the 'N-word'... in all his movies. That and folks think slavery shouldn't be treated with in a casual manner. Even Spike Lee's cousin (director of The Best Man and Undercover Brother, and an acquaintance of mine) weigh in to say that he didn't think it was an issue. I dunno I might go see it still.
Saw Hobbit... took moms because she love them LOTR movies, as do I. I wasn't impressed though, but she loved it.

Hobbit was enjoyable, good fix for the LOR fanatics. Obviously they have a sequel planned.
Django - go see it. Some superfluous scenes but overall, enjoyable if you are a Tarantino fan.
The "N" word was liberally sprinkled throughout the movie, but given the context, it worked.
Stay till the very end for a small bonus shot. It comes after the final credits play.

Just found this BBC video review of Django

first 1/2 hr should have remained on the editing room's floor. A waste of friggin time and a total buzz kill from the start. Jackson tried in vain to capture the audience as he did with the "Ring" trilogy and failed in comparison. The final hour of the movie was not bad, but I do hope things pick up in 2 and 3. I think part of the problem is that there wasn't a likeable character and romance as in Rings.
Nah the problem is that they trying to squeeze 3 movies out of a book that was shorter than any of the 3 LOTR books. I sure there will be plenty more filler to come in the other movies.
Saw Django Unchained last night...
great movie....great soundtrack...

first 1/2 hr should have remained on the editing room's floor. A waste of friggin time and a total buzz kill from the start. Jackson tried in vain to capture the audience as he did with the "Ring" trilogy and failed in comparison. The final hour of the movie was not bad, but I do hope things pick up in 2 and 3. I think part of the problem is that there wasn't a likeable character and romance as in Rings.
Nah the problem is that they trying to squeeze 3 movies out of a book that was shorter than any of the 3 LOTR books. I sure there will be plenty more filler to come in the other movies.
Up to now I still doh know why Gandalf show up at Bilbo house. Why him of all Hobbits? The song and dance shit with the elves coulda been skipped in my book.
Saw Django Unchained last night...
great movie....great soundtrack...
Here is the full soundtrack with commentary by Tarantino ...

My favourite was Jim Croce's "I Got a Name". So unexpected.
Thanks for the link...been listening to the tracks on youtube....this is much easier.
All country music aficionados, whether having seen the movie or not will appreciate the soundtrack....
"I got a name" is a big track....My fav track is the Django theme...couldn't get it out of my head

you need to be more observant, gandalf referred to a family member of bilbo who he knew personally and who went on adventures and wasn't afraid of a dangerous trek, bilbo's ancestors were fallohides who were close to the elves and were different than all other hobbits, bolder and more adventurous, bilbo isn't an ordinary hobbit

And you clearly are no ordinary jackass... Gandalf never explained why he chose Bilbo. Saying that he once knew a relative of his is hardly an explanation as to why he chose to put the mark on Bilbo's door. Now go back and scour the internet and see what other irrelevant drivel yuh could find.
Gandalf never explicitly said why he had chosen poor Bilbo to join him and the dwarves in their expedition. Being wise and proud he did not like to explain his reasons to anyone.
"Of course there is a mark," said Gandalf. "I put it there myself. For very good reasons. You asked me to find the fourteenth man for your expedition, and I chose Mr. Baggins.
Just let any one say I chose the wrong man or the wrong house and you can stop at thirteen and have all the bad luck you like, or go back to digging coal."
He scrowled so angrily at Gloin that the dwarf huddled back in his chair; and when Bilbo tried to open his mouth to ask a question, he turned and frowned at him and stuck out his bushy eyebrows, till Bilbo shut his mouth tight with a snap. "That's right," said Gandalf. "Lets have no more argument.
I have chosen Mr. Baggins and that ought to be enough for all of you. If I say that he is a Burglar, a Burglar he is. or will be when the time comes.
There is a lot more in him than you guess, and a deal more than he has any idea about himself. You may (possibly) all live to thank me yet. Now Bilbo, my boy, fetch a lamp, and let's have a little light at this."

Secondly Gandalf also explains to Thorin that the hobbits scent goes undetected to orks and goblins, it is unfamiliar, it is therefore easy to sneak past enemy lines and in the the next 2 features, help them defeat smaug, by finding the invisible entrance to the once dwarve kingdom, all this was revealed in the feature.
for people like yourself with zero intuition and foresight I will educate you further.
gandalf spoke of the family member because bilbo's lineage is indeed different than other hobbits, hinting that you are not like the rest, that is the reason why I chose you and that I know your family history.

if you want i can also add a few more points which gandalf gives to why bilbo was chosen, which was even revealed in lotr and this story, of course no ordinary but an extraordinary jackass would miss those points ;)
This man is no ordinary ass at all, at all.
If Gandalf was looking for a prime cunnie eh would leave ah mark on Controversial door.
bakes boy thanks a lot for d link..Am a big Hobbit and LOTR fan but haven't been able to hit d cinema to check it out
I know in the book it is talked about Bilbo family being different because they have been known to have adventures which hobbits in general don't do..To be honest I eh think it have any big reason gandalf chose Bilbo. The Hobbit is a lot more basic child like novel compared to LOTR and things just tend to happen and pass quickly without too much explanation. Peter Jackson has taken a lot of liberty in the Hobbit to make the story longer and the "side adventures" connected..
Anyways lemme go check out d movie now

My pleasure man... I was reluctant to share because I does try and support the industry where I can (I will always pay to see a Spike Lee or independent film for instance, or where I want to see the movie's $$ look good)... and didn't want to encourage de free thing, lol. It's a great site, particularly for older movies that not readily available for rent/stream. Sometimes yuh just have to play until yuh find the best link, and so far haven't had any issues with malware in nearly two years of streaming.
I took a look at the link and while the quality was better than expected, it is still not the same as the big screen. So I will pay to see it in due course. In the meantime, watching the opening 5 minutes have whetted the appetite. Thanks.
I did try downloading (without using the download software that popped up) but after downloading 750Mb, all I got was audio.

Oh shit, ah forget... yuh doh have to download anything. I get ketch with that Illivid fake ad too the first time. Once the ad appears look very closely on the image of the ad itself (or close nearby) for a tiny "x" to close it. The ad/s will keep recurring throughout, ah guess they have to pay the bills somehow. But no need to download anything. I think Illivid is harmless, but still... I wouldn't keep it if it only occupying space on yuh hard drive.
MIB 3 - OK movie. Mediocre 1/2 half. The dialog and banter between J and K was lacking but had promise but got a lot better in the last 1/2. A teary-eye scene towards the end and nice wrap-up. Just ignore the time travel paradoxes etc.

whats your point bro?
jackson added backstory to the dialogue, go back and watch the movie and stop obfuscating on the thread, your citing verbatim from the hobbit(book) without having knowledge of the back story and dialogue added to hint at why gandalf chose bilbo. He also explained to the dwarves that part of bringing bilbo along was destiny, which he hinted, hobbits are not detected by goblins and orks unlike elves and dwarves. Another reason, which i won't reveal now bc its a spoiler will be revealed in the next movie.
Looper - boss
Lawless - boss
Taken 2 - watered-down version of the first but still good
End of Watch - good; I enjoyed the way it was shot.
Centurion 2010.
The Awakening 2011.
Both British films bot co starring Dominic West, who also co starred in the last Johnny English movie.
Awakening is a horror film.

7 Psychopaths: I really enjoyed it. Funny gangster story, good cast. Some Boardwalk Empire dudes made a cameo.
I think Christopher Walken really stood out. Sam Rockwell had some real funny comments throughout. The story was pretty unusual too.
The Man With The Iron Fists ; some good laughs, they used some typical kickup flick elements like Mr. Jack Knife,
power struggles and some ridiculous action. Rza had fun makin it.
Red Dawn pure GARBGE!!! I was pissed from the time I see is high school kids taking on the N.Korean Army like they been trained for years on weapons and explosives.... :bs:
Took in the Oz movie with my lil ones yesterday, not a bad flick. Watched it in 3D, they did a good job with that.I went and see it Monday... it wasn't bad. Coulda been better, but overall good enough.

G.I JOE was not bad, in my opinion, it was better than the first one! The ninja scene was the best for me.

Severely disappointed by this movie.
Good for the kids though.
AT times the clips didn't seem to gel, like they did some severe editing.

Just saw this now. In terms of production, it's far and away the best local movie I've ever seen. Forget the days of Men of Gray or whatever, where you're seeing boom mikes in the shot etc. This looks fantastic. And the three main actors were excellent too. The supporting cast let them down a bit though. Oh, Brent Sancho had minor role.
It was shot entirely in Trinidad, and most of the scenery is recognisable (Long Circular Mall for example). The plot itself was ordinary, but the ending tied things up nicely. Plenty violence, plenty drug use, (don't take the young ones!) Far and away the best local (or "local") movie I've ever seen, and generally a really good effort. :beermug:So they take a Trini-american actress, film it in Trinidad and the move about Jamaicans??? ???
Sounds ridiculous in theory, but I'd say they pulled it off. :beermug:
Iron Man 3 was shit >:(... They F*@ked up Mandarin's character and the battle in the end was just plain stupid and unrealistic. This movie lacked ideas. I give it 4 out of 10
Oblivion.. Glad I saw it for free, that is all I'm gonna say bout that.

Jack Reacher not bad at all. It start real strong, predictable ending, still entertaining
Took in Star Trek... I give it a 7, and that was mostly because I like scifi movies. On another note has anyone seen Ghett'a Life? It's a Jamaican flick. Not bad for an all local film crew.
Full movie below... can someone help me out and put up on screen? lol don't know how to do that.

Fast and Furious 6 is a must see.. Highly recommend it. Shit got me hyped in the people parking lot reving and tryna challenge anything with 4 wheels lol after all meh car in the movie ;D
I like how they tied "Tokyo Drift" into this plot in the end, don't know if you saw that movie, I personally did not like it, but it makes sense now that I understand why things happened the way they did. I also like the cast they bring into the movie every time they make one. We already know who will be in the next one, surprisingly playing a bad guy I presume.Fast and Furious 6 is a must see.. Highly recommend it. Shit got me hyped in the people parking lot reving and tryna challenge anything with 4 wheels lol after all meh car in the movie ;D
Yeah Fast and Furious was good. Easily one of the best action movies I've seen in quite some time. The plot have more hole in it than ah Afghan pickup truck, but that is not why yuh go to see a FF movie anyways. Holes aside, the plot was actually decent... but is de action scenes boy. Lawd! Ah didn't see de FF3 and 4 but fall fuh de hype on FF5 and it was well worth it. This one, ah have tuh say had much... MUCH better action scenes. Dem men and dem real outdoing deyself these days. Boss movie.
Ah also take in Star Trek... another boss movie, and I eh no Trekkie. Good plot, solid acting... boss action scenes. And Alice Eve... madre de dios. Dat one scene of she in she underwear make mih fuhget clean about mih wife Zoe Saldana yes.

What were the plot-holes in Supes? I might have been too distracted by Henry Cavill to notice. :)
But I didn't really like Russell Crowe as Jor-El or how they imagined their characters - both her and Lara. And I didn't like the way they made Krypton look - actually, I didn't like very much about the whole Krypton scene(s).
But I did think Cavill did a fine job a Superman and I like the female villain. She was decent.

If ah go into too much detail it would spoil it fuh others... but think to how he and Lois became close, she shouldn'a even find out what she find out. Then he going from having no clue how to fly... to not only flying but levitating (some next level shit) in the same frame. I too didn't care for the Krypton scenes. Jor-El was a scientist (Moorish? leh we see if yuh get dat one ;D) ... Zod (as he was all too happy to remind Kal-El) train all he life as a soldier to fight. But get he ass cut easy by Jor-El and had to resort to some coward move to kill him. Also Kal-El is de one with de super powers but he let Kevin Costner run back to de truck to get de dog in de middle ah de tornado? Makes no sense.
Some of these I guess is more logical inconsistencies that artificially contrive to move the plot along, rather than true "holes", but these were just the ones I remember off the top of mih head. Overall I thought Cavill was good as an actor and from an action stand point it was good... ah little too much Hancock fuh me in how they was destroying the scenery, but not a big complaint. My biggest complaint was in the writing... the story sucked. Why he wearing ah suit and cape by the way? And de symbol on he chest stand fuh "hope"... what about de other symbols on Jor-El and Zod and dem chest? Wey dem mean?

took in night watch and day watch - russian fantasy films. decent films based on a book trilogy. it sounds like the 3rd film isn't going to be made; with de sh*t dat getting made nowadays they cyah do much worse than greenlight this one but these production companies seem to have a different set of rules.

I right there with your first paragraph. The method she used to find CK was dotish. Secondly that have nothing to do with the way Superman meet Lois Lane.
When I see the son let the father go back and that is how he die... I just shake my head.
I try to give them a bligh on how Jor El beat up Zod. I tell myself even a scientist have skills in other areas .. he tough.
But when Zod leggo all dem lyrics how he was predesigned to protect Krypton and trained all he life, the truth is neither Jor El or his son should've been able to handle him.
I understand they take a little literary license now and again like Fishborne as Perry (the Editor) but to have CK just bounce up in the daily Planet and Louis already know who he is....Have some damn respect for the history of the Superman comic.

Just Take in Cloud Atlas.
Beautiful visually, and it will reward repeated viewings with minute details that all mesh together (like use of the colour red in The Sixth Sense) The stories can be a bit hard to follow at first, but they all come together in the end.
The multiple roles by multiple actors is also a little mind-bending, but I'll comment on a few.
1. Jim Broadbent is excellent.
2. I didn't know Hugh Grant could do that.
3. Hugo Weaving really gets his teeth into playing a bastard.

Pacific Rim was rel good. Great film that was terribly marketed. Almost didn't go and see it.I especially liked that for once the female lead wasn't one of those over-bearing, 'balls-busting', 'I can do anything better than a man' sort of character.
Star Trek - Into Darkness was a BOSS movie though --- and one of the few ST movie in which the first offering was great, and the follow-up offering was even better. They definitely got it right with the last 2 ST movies.

with the new reality they have so much more to work with. add advance in technology (fx) and a young and vibrant crew and you have a winning combination. remember that old star trek movies were tv actors who where put in longer version tv shows.

Watched Pacific Rim, reminded me of Power Rangers only more advanced lol.. Good to watch on a boring evening.
I liked After Earth... I dunno what they talking about "poorly made". I also how they could call it a flop when it was made for $130 million, and took in $235 million.
I haven't seen it yet but heard it was critically good.
But it did 'Flop' business-wise at the box-office. The movie cost US$135 million to make, plus US$100 million to market, yet has only brought in US$60 million thus far in the box office.
Therefore: Cost: US$235 million
Revenue: US$60 million (thus far as of July 22nd 2013).
Loss: US$175 million. This is why it is considered a financial flop.

I appreciate your math, but that $100 million to market is only rumored, not confirmed. Also, the $60 million revenue you cite is only the US market... you might want to check your sources (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=1000ae.htm) completely next time ;)
The source is from IMDB, and Variety. They are considered WSJ of the Entertainment industry.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1815862/?ref_=sr_1
Also, the Wall Street Journal:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324423904578521542174762344.html
Btw, the $100 million is an intelligent estimate from industry experts. The studios won't always disclose the specifics of marketing costs, however that figure is quite realistic based on the level and amount of marketing the studio put into the movie. Jeez...they advertised during the Superbowl also if I remember correctly...lol
That isn't cheap advertising at all.

Like I said... check yuh sources. IMDB doesn't say anywhere that Sony spent $100 million to market the film. In fact nowhere do they even talk about the marketing budget at all. Just admit that yuh copy and paste that from Wikipedia... which itself cites the NYT, who author only offers "an estimated $100 million" without a source.
Not only that, but the WSJ article you linked claims the movie was made for $150 million while IMDB says it's $130 million. So which is it? Again, get yuh facts in order before yuh talk.

Also, EVERYBODY done realize that After Earth flopping. Dude, it brought in a measly US$27 million it's opening weekend, and dropping every week since then. And no, the World Wide receipts although 'just okay' at US$49 million, is still not enough to salvage it.

The non-US "take" was actually $175 million... which added to the US $60 million reveals a "world wide" total of $235 million. You'd realize that instead of repeating the same inaccurate shit, if yuh knew how to add and read. That apparently isn't the case... but feel free to continue deluding yuhself into thinking that yuh actually 'manhandle' somebody in here or anywhere else.
From what I understand form a person in the industry, marketing budgets are usually close to the actual production budgets. So good rule of thumb to get total costs is multiply production budgets x2. Then box office receipts are split with the theatres.

You even know what yuh talking about? I know exactly what Escrima is, and Jason Bourne hardly ever used any Escrima in his fight scenes. All the empty-hand combat in Bourne Identity and the progeny sequels is Krav Maga.
In the 2002 movie The Bourne Identity and its 2004 and 2007 sequels, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, Matt Damon used Kali for the fight scenes, and was trained by Damon Caro and Jonathan Eusebio.[3][11] The primary fight choreographer was Jeff Imada assisted by Damon Caro and Jonathan Eusebio, all students of Dan Inosanto. The first film's director Doug Liman stated that Kali's principles of minimal effort influenced their development of Bourne's character.
Wolverine was a dud...
I won't say too much so as to not spoil it for those who want to see it... but the character wasn't enough to carry an entire movie, let alone kickstart a spinoff franchise. That won't stop them from trying, I'm sure. I get that Wolverine is supposed to be this crusty hardass on the outside, masking a troubled, vulnerable psyche on the inside, but what plays well in an ensemble cast of superheroes wears thin without the other storylines/personalities to balance it out. I kept seeing Clint Eastwood in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, crossed with Dirty Harry, crossed Xander Cage (Vin Diesel's character in "XXX"), crossed with...
The action scenes were decent enough... the fight scenes okay. Ever since Bourne Identity everyone in Hollywood seems infatuated with Krav Maga... even where it doesn't fit. This movie is set in Japan, yet despite that country's rich martial arts tradition they foist this Israeli import on the audience, while paying only lip service to budo, with a touch of kenpo thrown in for good measure. Better hand-to-hand arts such as aikido or karate would have made more sense... but that's just a pet peeve of mine. I get that Wolverine is supposed to be a good martial artist and could understand him not being trained in one of the Japanese arts... but the Japanese Yakuza?? C'mon son.
The nemeses (both of them) in the movie were kinda disappointing... I feel like someone at Marvel got lazy and decided to recycle the Destroyer from Thor, polish up his suit of armor and send him off to Nagasaki as the Silver Samurai. Overall story was just okay in my book... nothing really implausible (keeping in mind that this is a world in which a man's bones have been replaced with "Adamantine" and some chick walks around with a poisonous, prehensile tongue) but for me the movie is two hours of wasted potential. The audience response was decidedly muted when the credits began to roll... and even the now cliched epilogue at the end included a minor illogical headscratcher (which I won't divulge) that if you were really paying attention to the story would make you wonder... "what???" At least I got to ogle the always fine Famke Janssen (even if she's been reduced to rolling around bed in a negligee in this movie), along with two decent pieces of Japanese eye candy.
Dred... escrima is a weapons-based artform, two bamboo sticks. There are empty-handed defensive techniques and counter strikes but it is primarily a two-stick artform. In the scene where Bourne is encountered by two French cops, he uses the escrima defenses and counters. That is essentially it. Throughout the movie and in all of the subsequent sequels is primarily Krav Maga he using... I eh care what Wikipedia say... I telling yuh dat is Krav Maga... this was the film that put it on the map and Casino Royale/Quantum of Solace/Skyfall, along with the two Takens continue in fashion making it the trendy martial artform in Hollywood these days.

when "12 years a slave" comes out, check it out, Steve McQueen, another brilliant Director of West Indian heritage making a mark in Hollywood...
I thought 12 years a slave rang kind of hollow...I wasn't moved by it; it was very disjointed...kind of all over the place.
I thought 12 years a slave rang kind of hollow...I wasn't moved by it; it was very disjointed...kind of all over the place.
that is an interesting take, care to share why?
I was speaking to guy after I saw it and he said it didn't hit him, i told him the reason he felt that way was because he expected to see justice at the end, but in reality Solomon didn't receive it, so mcqueen chose to highlight his reuniting with his family as the climax/resolve..
maybe some were expecting a more hollywood ending, steve is not that director, he doesn't adhere to the hollywood twist and formula... he goes with feel and realism.. i personally loved the brutality he showed and the fact he didn't hold back.. the acting was superb, CE, fassbender, the young Lupita... the cinematography i also liked...
if you didn't like hunger or shame, then you're probably not into his style of directing... it's not for everyone.. i personally think he's an upcoming top Director in Hollywood...
12 Years a Slave
Powerful Movie.
Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyong'o stand out.
Steve McQueen has made a masterpiece.

Are you referring to his memory of his freedom? If so, these were interlaced throughout the film, and I thought they were effective reflections that were structurally useful and indicative of what a formerly free person would reflect on post-enslavement.
Most accounts of enslavement tend to neglect this narrative of memory. This film reflected the enslaved as thoughtful, introspective beings. That struck me as a significant departure from other films recounting enslavement.
As an institution, one of the pillars of enslavement was to deny acknowledgement of the enslaved person's personhood (we see that time and time again in the film when the institution forces the main character to stamp out references to his former life (his literacy, his numeracy, his family etc., and also through separation of children from their mothers, and through rape and sexual ascendancy ... ironically forced miscegenation with a "non-person" being preferred to a consensual relation with one's wife).
Ultimately, it's the collective memory of imported Africans that was "erased" as individual memories were suppressed. What would have become of Solomon had he been unable to "remember" on the day on which he returned to physical freedom? (Here I'm thinking about the questions he was asked by the law enforcement agent, to which a faulty memory would not have secured his removal from the plantation). As such, I didn't find it disjointed, but reflective of the battle for sanity that he experienced as he transitioned from being free to being owned and restrained.
***
This film probably lent itself to revealing memory more prevalently than others ... could it be because of the protagonist's previous life as an established "free man" of means in the Western context of 19th century New York society (which viscerally we understand or perhaps with which in our contemporary Western mind we more readily empathize) rather than the less resonant status of a free man dragged inter-continentally on the assumption he bore no status other than that of as commercial product (with which we less readily identify ... it likely being difficult to appreciate human beings as auctioned currency ... other than we "know" it occurred historically and was a "bad" thing, we don't really understand the experience in a tactile way).
***
One could contend that the ease of memory in the film stems from Northup's publication of his experiences in his 1853 book (Twelve Years a Slave; Narrative of Solomon Northup; a Citizen of New York, Kidnapped in Washington City in 1841, and Rescued in 1853 from a Cotton Plantation near the Red River, in Louisiana) ... thereby documenting "memory" of his experience.
However, there have been myriad other memories of those dragged trans-Atlantically: Abu Bakr al-Siddiqi (The History of Abon Becr Sadiki, known in Jamaica by the name Edward Donlan), Omar ibn Said (Autobiography of Omar ibn Said, Slave in North Carolina), and works by Ottobah Cuguano and of Abdul Rahaman, for instance ... that at the very least similarly facilitate or activate memory of the primary characteristic held in common by all enslaved persons (regardless of their pre-enslavement means and status). The primary characteristic: all enslaved people were once all free or bear a legacy of freedom from a once free ancestor with undeniable personhood, yet it has taken Hollywood some time to flesh this out.
These accounts provide a tapestry of not just the forced amnesia demanded by slave owners, but of the memory of personhood despite enslavement. We should be accountable to them more frequently.
***
And, this takes me to the most dynamic element of the film for me ... whereas many films frame enslavement through a lens of retroactive condemnation rooted in moral valuations, this film underscored the transactional nature of enslavement: people as human cargo bearing economic valuations and consequences (debts, deeds and mortgages etc.) ... Only one character intoned on morality during the film, yet that character was somewhat willing to turn a blind eye.
Not only did this economic facet of enslavement cement an active thought that history tends to repeat itself (given greed and other aspects of human nature) unless vigilance is perpetual, I thought also of how transformative the experience must have been for Northup himself as a man of value: valued in the North for his personal wealth and valued in the South for the wealth he sustained for masters (particularly being an exceptional person bearing exceptional value).
The film references no notion of his conscience regarding the paradox of him living well in the North while those of his pigmentation suffered in the South (I'm not of the view that it needed to) ... highlighting its other dynamic element of relevance to modern viewers: the lack of protection afforded by the content of one's pocket (once deemed a marginalized person) versus the protection possibly afforded by the content of one's mind despite such marginalization. Arguably, Solomon never mentally acquiesced to the will of any of his masters, and he had that luxury because he had a view of the world off the plantation. Cue Bob Marley and Redemption Song here. Is there a message that the mind can triumph the pocket? A message that lingering economic disparities - a legacy of the regime of the imported African labor market - should be insufficient to quell ambition and personal destinations.
***
I viewed the film in a movie theater in the American South. There were only 4 others in attendance (a middle-aged black couple and a white couple perhaps marginally younger) ... apparently Best Man Holiday was the pull. Not sure whether to attach much meaning to the empty seats, but there was something to suggest the film would be uncomfortable viewing for an integrated American audience when much of the dialogue on race relations in the US is reactionary rather than historically embracing.
It might be time to re-read Naipaul's A Turn in The South, re-view Borat, and do both for Haley's Roots. People will struggle to take collective ownership of this film. Glad I saw it, but perhaps it would be less exceptional if other accounts of enslaved narratives were more popularly known, and enslavement less a taboo topic of which most of us possess only a superficial understanding.
Oh my goodness Assylum, I just wasn't moved by the film - I didn't think it was great.
The story was just jumping all over the place. For example they when we was suddenly chopping cane...somewhere I don't know where and then suddenly ended back up with the Fassbender master. I assume it was temporary to pay off some kind of debt but that was an assumption I had to make. And that random scene in the beginning with him and the other mulatto looking slave where she made him touch her down there. That was the most random thing.
And the interactions between the slaves and the white folks just felt so...exaggerated and forced. Didn't feel authentic.
It just gave off a vibe I get when watching Tyler Perry films...they're Ok but you always sense they're deficient.

I rememer when he left to go work on a plantation bez the Cotton Master didn't have enough revenue due to a blight crop. But his return was illustrated.
Can't remember him leaving the cotton plantation for another reason.
Re. the woman who jump him in the beginning, you will notice as soon as the scene was done, there was a flashback to his family and his wife. I got the impression he hadn't forgotten his family, that is why he blank de woman.
What I find was shit was how the wife just watch him when he enter the house. If I hadn't seen my spouse in 12 years I woulda be rushing and bawling. But I guess we could put that down to shock.
I thought this was a decent movie, especially well acted by the star and expect to see him get an Oscar nomination.
Two movies that I saw recently and I believe the people will enjoy seeing are
American Hustle and The Lone Survivor. Both movies will be nominated for various awards this year.
Ex-mobster of 'Goodfellas' fame wanted in Calif.
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – A mobster-turned-FBI informant whose life inspired the movie "Goodfellas" is wanted for failing to appear in court on tickets alleging he was drunk in public in San Bernardino.
Henry Hill, 65, faces two $25,000 arrest warrants. He says he wasn't aware he needed to be present in court Wednesday and had asked for a new hearing date because he was having hernia surgery.
"I was hoping the court would understand," Hill told The Press-Enterprise of Riverside from his San Fernando Valley home.
The cases stem from two public intoxication arrests in May 2008. Hill said he was in alcohol rehabilitation at the time.
Hill was again arrested in Los Angeles earlier this year and released before his arraignment because of jail crowding.
"I don't remember much of all that, but I've been sober a month now," he told the newspaper. "I don't want to drink anymore."
The "Goodfellas" movie ends with Hill, played by Ray Liotta, entering federal witness protection after implicating fellow mobsters in murders and the 1978 heist of $5.8 million in cash from a Lufthansa Airlines vault in New York.
Drug arrests led to Hill being removed from the federal program in the early 1990s.

Take in Pompeii over the weekend... Bury dis one with de relics.
Jon Snow from Game of Thrones gets to show off his newly-crafted abs and mediocre acting chops in Clash of the 3000 Gladiators from Pompeii. This is intended to be a historical recreation and not fantasy so there weren't any magical elements onscreen, but this movie still required a massive suspension of reality to accept the unconvincing characters, acting and dialogue throughout this movie.
I kept waiting for Vesuvius to erupt and steal the show, but sadly that came very late and even then the director failed to capture the sense of dread and foreboding... say nothing of the sheer shit-my-pants panic that would ensue if I were to face a wall of molten lava closing in at 70 mph. Wait for it on DVD... or stream online.

Low budget flick filmed in Trinidad starring Tatyana Ali about three people deported to their native Jamaica after growing up abroad
Just saw this now. In terms of production, it's far and away the best local movie I've ever seen. Forget the days of Men of Gray or whatever, where you're seeing boom mikes in the shot etc. This looks fantastic. And the three main actors were excellent too. The supporting cast let them down a bit though. Oh, Brent Sancho had minor role.
It was shot entirely in Trinidad, and most of the scenery is recognisable (Long Circular Mall for example). The plot itself was ordinary, but the ending tied things up nicely. Plenty violence, plenty drug use, (don't take the young ones!) Far and away the best local (or "local") movie I've ever seen, and generally a really good effort. :beermug:So they take a Trini-american actress, film it in Trinidad and the move about Jamaicans??? ???
Sounds ridiculous in theory, but I'd say they pulled it off. :beermug:
Depends on what you mean by "local movie." This was a Canadian production shot in TT.

Not sure about title of best summer blockbuster, but i really enjoyed it. I am a sci-fi geek but not a big Tom Cruise fan, and because of him I guess I had a lower bar for expectations. However, I enjoyed both the movie and his performance. It was a good sci-fi story, had nice humor and him and Emily Blunt had good chemistry. The other summer movie that I really enjoyed was Guardians of the Galaxy.
anybody else tink edge of tomorrow was the best of the summer blockbuster.....x-men started good but den kinda fizzled for me.....Transformers: good action :-\ plot holes like ah strainer otherwise, godzilla was meh :-\ ........watch captain america twice but d movie take itself lil to seriously for me at times doh.......edge of tomorrow is d only one give yuh a lil bit ah every ting, good action, laughs......some plot points make mih go ??? :-\ lil bit, but other than dat it was damn good
Edge of Tomorrow was just arriteexactly my point
Nah, you rate it way more than me, I not really giving it any kinda props... save for the fact that the plot gimmick of the 'reset' is unique. Other than that, there are many elements which it borrows heavily from movies such as The Matrix, Memento and Inception.Edge of Tomorrow was just arriteexactly my point
get what yuh sayin......I tryin say dat d summer releases was tame in general IMO, but dat EoT was "to me" the best example of d summer archetype this year............atleast till ah see GoG, go revisit this thenNah, you rate it way more than me, I not really giving it any kinda props... save for the fact that the plot gimmick of the 'reset' is unique.

Yeah I was real disappointed by Transformers. Optimus 'taming' de Dinobots was just about the most dotish thing I ever see... hyped as I was by that scene in the trailer.**Spoiler Alert**
The Ten Dumbest Things About Transformers 'Age of Extinction.' (http://www.dailydot.com/geek/transformers-age-of-extinction-dumbest-things/)
10) Optimus Prime flies into space with his adorable rocket boots.
At the end of the movie, having helped the Autobots slaughter the Decepticons (other than Megatron, who is actually now Galvatron, who… never mind), Optimus Prime announces he is going into space to find the aliens who killed all the dinosaurs.
He does so only with the aid of these cute little rockets attached to his feet. Optimus Prime doesn’t need a spaceship to travel the vast reaches of the galaxy! He has rocket boots!
It was around this time I was laughing so hard I was seeing spots. I felt kind of bad for the people in the row next to me, but they were also clappy and cheering at the time. I think we’re even.
If you're wondering why they even keep making these films, just look at the box office returns. Age of Extinction had a $41 million opening day domestically at the box office, better than X-Men: Days of Future Past ($35.5 million), Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($36.9 million), and Godzilla ($38.4 million).
But the aliens looked and moved real cool!
How allyuh like the sci-fi D-Day scene?
They have all kinda technology why they didn't just bomb up the whole area?
Anybody watch Interstellar yet? If so help me out because as it end all I could do was grab my umbrella and ask it WTF I just watch.
The Salvation.
Good western.

Searching for Sugarman - interesting flick about a folk singer from Detroit that miss out on a career in the USA but makes it big in apartheid south africa - except he doh even know he made it big overseas. Pre-Internet story.
mad max: fury road damn good thrill ride, loud and bombastic from start to finish.....dreadness actually forgo Avengers to see it....which next on my list, missed out on fast7 on d big screen..........exams :(

mad max was lack luster... not even close to the original...
people have gone past the retro post apocalyptic style
GM did as good a job with what's available today (technology) as he did when he did the original. Personally I believe the acting in Fury Road was much better and I'm a huge fan of the original MM series. There were some bloopers/mistakes in fury road.. and GM could have spent a little more time on the ending. kinda anti-climatic. but no big deal.
You need big screen and big sound for this one for sure!
avengers rise of ultron was slow.
king's man if yuh like me and yuh dig "gun fu" movies check dat out
Don't really watch anything on TV, but football. However i love Westerns so I have recently been following

It was arrite... Sam's character was too much of a caricature for me.
A good movie wasI, Robot... Ex Machina.
I'm kinda getting tired of the super hero movies and the Superman vs Batman seems a bit too dark and brooding for me, but the Suicide Squad and Deadpool movies seem like interesting spins with the anti-hero approach.
Sharknado 3
Talk done!
batman v superman - average movie, basically Superman doomsday and Frank Millers: Dark Knight Returns episode 2 mashed together with wonder woman as filler...........dem two cartoon by deyself was better than this by a country mile, story telling wise.......
if yuh wasn't into or considered yuhself too old for cartoons and comic books, even back in d 90s, yuh would be confused by a lot of d imagery in dis.
Why ? oh...better with whole boobies out...true...whap whap Bruce lee Nanchuk style.. i'll pay to see that lolbatman v superman - average movie, basically Superman doomsday and Frank Millers: Dark Knight Returns episode 2 mashed together with wonder woman as filler...........dem two cartoon by deyself was better than this by a country mile, story telling wise.......

Lefty,
I agree. I don´t want to say what I ddn´t like about it becz I don´t want to spoil it for those who haven´t see it yet.
Re. Wonder Woman. Very sexy but was surprised by the lack of cleavage. But I guess you can´t fight crime with half your boobies hanging out.

I enjoyed Revenant but it wasn't as amazing as ppl make it out to be.
I recently saw Mad Max which was a riot. The stunts and imagery were top level. The original director was in charge and the vehicles and characters felt very much like a Mad Max film.
Captain America Civil War was good. Good action and it was funny. Black Panther was cool and they set yuh up for de nex installment.
Mr. Church, starring Eddie Murphy. Good film. Apparently bombed at the box office. However, I liked it.Didn't Mr.Church die after years and years later .
SPOILER ALERT: Murphy sick and he die. I eh know what the hell he dying from. At first I thought maybe aids because he was always going toa club and didn't want nobody to know. Bawl how he faddah force him to marry a girl when he was young.
I went to Wikipedia and just by chance I find out the character died of an enlarged heart. Somehow that got left on the cutting room floor.
Logan: good film. Grim but I think that was the intent.

Anyone take in Black Panther yet? Is it worth the hype?
Thanks for sharing your viewpoints, I'll definitely have to check it out. This movie inspired black people in a way I've never seen before, it's like it created a movement which was good to see.Anyone take in Black Panther yet? Is it worth the hype?
Very good movie. Don't know if it's worth the hype. But I can totally understand why black people are proud of it.
What I found curious was how sometimes there would be an argument about the ramifications of helping refugees etc that bordered on ethnocentrism it was almost like listening to a Black Donald Trump. It made you aware that some countries in an effort to protect themselves may seem racist, elitist or ethnocentric.
