Because of you two ended up watching this movie.

My opinion,

The writer was on drugs when he wrote it!

The producers must have just won tatts to sponsor it!

Don't think I'll ever watch that again.

I said it was strange.  I won't be backing up to watch it again in the future either.

Basically, the gist of the movie was that the main character was the person responsible for his own problems. But you have to figure out who it is.

Big fan of Elvis & big fan of westerns, put the two together and presto.



Movie - Flaming Star - Elvis Presley


A great movie about prejudice, racism, romance, love, family and friendship.

This aussie made western is a great movie, absolutely recommended, I like what they did in recreating late nineteenth century outback australia, it almost has a strong visercal and gritty quality to it, with the dirt, the blood and those flies, under what looks like an oppressive heat beating on the land.

Just finished watching 'The Imitation Game' based on the work of Alan Turing.

Worth a look...

Fifty Shades Of Grey                                                Imo very similar to The Story of O (1975)

Dakota Johnson & Jamie Dornan,

Can someone please tell me why women like this movie?

The guy is obviously sick and half a step away from American psycho being abused as a child by his prostitute mother and then as a teenager experience sex with a female masochist.

Do women really want to be bound gagged and whipped during sex?

sad, but true

As far as kids movies go, it's actually quite well made.

The fifty shades of grey movie was basically about the young woman who feels that she doesn't get any, getting caught up in some luxurious lifestyle, and then agreeing to be the love slave to Christian. She only objects when she finds that she has gotten enough out of him.

Just took a chance on the Bond film Sky Fall. Slick production, good music, but dreadfully fight scenes using moves that are unbelievable and the same old double meanings in the tired dialog between Bond and the girls. Komodo Dragon eating a man? Give me a break. This film is for school boys and older Ninja Turtle fans.

Did you notice how flawed the movie's premise was for the audience. I noticed the first time that it wasn't right, but had to take another look later on, since I missed some of the detail. Evidently, the villain of the movie managed to get captured after an elaborate trap to lure in Bond. He then set about initiating an escape from MI6 prison, where he could open alarmed doors, and still get passed guards (trained to kill you 20 different ways). Then there was the actual escape where he co-ordinated with other members of his faction, in which he dressed up as a police officer and blew up the subway line just in time for Bond to be in just the right place at the right time. Then he got in to the building where M was speaking on her own defence about why she should keep her job. His intention to kill M, after killing off the guards (also trained to kill mob bosses and the like).

If you ever worked with law enforcement, you would find this scenario totally implausible. Even for a movie.

I saw this movie last night, and thought that it is a good contender for best movie of the year. Though a few movies would be better represented for film of the year, this movie Mad Max: Fury Road is actually quite a redemption for George Miller. His first movie was praised in theatres as being quite a grim portrayal of a pre-apocalyptic world, overrun by maniacs. MM2 was the peak of the series (atleast until Fury Road), and MM3 showed just how much Hollywood should keep it's nose out of the franchise -- though it did have its moments.

Fury Road starts out fast, and doesn't let up much, except to have a few breathers. Much of the intensity of Mad Max 2 is shown and exceeded in Fury Road. All the nods of reference to all three movies previous to this movie give the audience enough to tie this movie into the franchise. But the movie is something more. Of course, Miller has a bigger budget and more technology to work to make a good movie. But it seems that the actors are putting in the effort to make the grittiness of the genre all the more real. Even Rosie Hungtington Whitely has made an effort to get acting lessons for this film. Those film buffs out there that cringe at previous efforts of the Mad Max franchise, take heart to know that this final installment should be considered more mature than those others. If you're not a Mad Max fan, this recent effort could be considered a reboot for the franchise, and nowhere near disappointing as the predecessors.

What I liked about Mad Max was its low budget Australian innovation. If this new movie is anything like the subsequent big budget movies, it is just more kids stuff from Hollywood.

No. The movie is quite gritty, and keeps in true form to the way the first two movies of the franchise presented themselves to audiences. There are nods towards Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, but it isn't that camp. It appears that this movie is more mature than the first three movies.

If your concern is to do with the amount of CGI, they keep the computer generated images to a minimum usage, and let the action speak loudly. Compared to other CGI heavy movies, this Fury Road has taken a laxative, and is all the better for it.

I don't think it's a movie for the teenage audiences. The MA rating is appropriate, and there are a few scenes where the younger audiences wouldn't be appropriate to seeing this movie. Though I believe that the dialogue seemed appropriate for a post apocalyptic scenario -- people desperate to survive and bordering on religious insanity and barbarity.

Still, I always wonder why they drive around V8s when there is an oil shortage.

I saw Ex Machina the other night. Check it out if you like "can A.I. have consciousness and free will?" type films. I thought it was brilliant.
