If anyone is thinking about watching Unbroken this Thursday's premier, forget it. It's such a nothing movie.


My brother told me the same thing the other day

I watch these movies online, and just save the money. If it seems like a brilliant movie, then I pay for the privilege of seeing the movie in theatre.

The last temptation of christ


I actually like this movie, it offers a radical new look of Jesus christ even in shades of pornagrahy as if he was just a human being following a call to fulfill gods wish., but this movie caused a shitstorm through the christian world in 1988 where he was accused of offending the sensibilities of christians, but then again i liked this movie, even though its running time is very, very, VERY, VERY long, BUT MARTIN SCORCESEE IS STILL ALIVE TODAY.

Johnny Depp's movie The Rum Diaries (2011)was on TV last night. It started off with a couple of good scenes and then went down hill. The plot is clichéd and at times quite unbelievable, the characters never develop and there are several faults with their period interpretation including the use of the word Vibe at a point before it had been introduced into the popular lexicon. It's not worth watching.

Highlander


One of the great fantasy films of the 80s, when you have actors like Christopher lambert and the great Sean connery AND THAT UPLIFTING SOUNDTRACK FROM QUEEN, you have something special, a film that is A CULT CLASSIC.

Definetly one of the best movies of the 80s, SO ORIGINAL AND INVENTIVE WHICH IS QUITE RARE IN HOLLYWOOD THESE DAYS,, Ive watched this so many times and never get tired of it, Joe dante really created a CLASSIC here with the help of Steven spielberg.

A great horror movie, MADE IN AUSTRALIA.

Believe it or not, it has created a bit of a buzz in america, and holds a fresh 97% on ROTTEN TOMATOES, that even the director of the ORIGINAL EXORCIST FILM,  William Friedkin said it was the most scariest film he has seen in ages.

Directed by jennifer kent, actress turned director, its a horror movie that delves into the emotional dimemsions of parenthood, grief and depression explored through the angle of the HORROR GENRE, about a young single mother amelia raising her young son samuel and is consumed by grief of her husband who was killed 6 years ago and battling depression while raising her dificult young son, one night she reads him a pop up storybook called the babadook and all hell breaks loose after that, ITS ONE HECK OF A SMART HORROR FILM. better than the average junk passed as horror movies these days from hollywood.

I highly recommend this film.

JOHN WICK





Action action and more action. Keanu Reeves is not a favourite actor but he definitely does have a charm about him and he looks pretty good for 50.

The plot is pretty thin but there are lots of amusing one-liners to break up the carnage. The body count is huge and I don't think I have ever seen so many heads being blown off in the one movie. The assassins have their own currency and code. Well most of them.

Ian McShane and William Dafoe are always entertaining but Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones) still gives me the creeps.  Produced by Eva Longoria.

I enjoyed it.  Might watch The Babadook tonight.

83% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Jagged Edge - Glenn Close


One of the better suspense thrillers made.

Babadook was a great movie. I still have a rental here at home, and would probably watch it again. I smart horror movie that doesn't rely on stupid jump scares. A real psychological horror movie. Basically, a woman who is still suffering the shock of losing her husband in a car accident is cursed with nightmares and day dreams about a demon after reading a book about him.

Two I've watched this week.

Prometheus - think that's how you spell it. Borrowed DVD. I only got about half way through and couldn't stomach any more. I did watch a couple Alien movies and got through them.

Age of Consent. This an oldie about a painter (James Mason) and a water nymph (mostly nude Helen Mirren about 18-19). Shot on Dunk Island with some Aussies in the cast. Not bad but the main attraction was the body beautiful in a lot of underwater scenes - if it was her body. Just about the perfect body.

But mostly been watching half hour sitcoms. A new one called "Whites" with the guy from Jonathan Creek is about surreal goings-on in a restaurant kitchen.

BIRDMAN - Michael Keaton


Can see why Keaton would have been attracted to this role playing batman and being stereotyped and pidgeon holed as a superhero.

A different type of movie not for the average joe, people in the film industry will appreciate this one, don't think I'll ever watch it again.

I have tried to watch "Birdman" online. No point going to see it at the cinema, since I don't want to watch an actor that I don't really like. But the first 30 minutes that I have watched seems okay. The acting is quite good. The desire to keep watching, isn't.

I watched the war movie "Fury" the other night.

It's pretty damn cartoonish and unrealistic. It's about the crew of a Sherman tank "Fury" during April 1945 in Germany. Brad Pitt plays the well past pension age commander.

German shells bounce off the Shermans and tank battles are fought at distances of less than 20 metres. It takes about 1,000 or more, incredibly dumb Germans to attack this single tank.

I read it's supposed to be an anti war movie. Personally, I thought it was the opposite. I can easily imagine theatres full of yanks chanting "USA! USA! USA!" as the final credits roll.

Brad Pitt is over rated. His current wife does a better job at directing. That must piss him off, hey?
