I thought the Wrestler was great. I don't care for big studio, big budget movies, they are kind of vapid. The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby is a good drama from an independent production company. It has touches of Bergman.

The Exorcist


Saw this when I was a teenager, we read 6 women fainted at Sydney opening.

Took us two goes to get in, and we talked about it for weeks.

Dracula, werewolves the occult, Friday the 13th, Halloween, none scared the bejesus out of me like the Exorcist did.

"The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies".  Well, marginally better than the second one, Jackson still takes some dire liberties with the story and it has some rather silly points at the end to try and more obviously tie it into The Lord of The Rings.   The battle scenes are pretty good but surprisingly bloodless (perhaps I'm too used to Game of Thrones and Vikings?).   I'd give it about 7, maybe 8 out of 10, just for the spectacle.  The love triangle was rather pointless and typically Hollywood.

Great movie AJAX, Seeing this trailer, I now feel compelled to go and find and buy the blu ray edition, and add this to my collection.

I saw St Vincent last night.

I thought it was ok.

It was a US movie that looked a bit like a Brit movie (which is good)

The Fly



Some may say that this is one of the best sci fi horror films of all time,

Well when you have a director like David Cronenberg in the directors chair and a brilliant actor like Jeff Goldblum in the lead as a mad scientist who has invented a teleportation device that goes horribly wrong, with the use of great practical effects, then you have a classic in your hands.

Saw it yesterday at the 'flicks', and I'd concur with a 7 or 8 out of 10.

Agree re the love triangle, the whole thing came off as being rather incidental.

The Drop:




Another outstanding performance from Tom Hardy who must surely be the man of the moment in Hollywood...the modern day Marlon Brando?
It seems to be a straight contest between Hardy and Elba Idris to be the next Bond.Normally O would say Tom Hardy would be a shoe in but with today's racial tokenism it will probably drop in Elba's favour..still two great actors and whoeever gets it will do the franchise proud.

You liked The Drop?

I watched it last night and wasn't really impressed.  I thought the acting was flat and no-one displayed the slightest bit of emotion which made the whole thing a bit uninteresting.  6/10

Interstellar.

Scientists must find a new planet after Tony Abbott-style environmental policies ruin the Earth.

Visually entertaining, if not a bit slow to start off with, and quite long altogether. The ending was a bit crap imo. But nonetheless an entertaining film mostly.

Abbott promised no tax hikes & no cuts to the ABC

There's a 'budget emergency', so we will give $9 billion to the Reserve Bank, spend $12 billion on some dubious jets, $2 billion to bomb Iraq, etc.

The movie itself may have been the best of the series. But it's no LOTR quality comparison. I definitely found the last two Hobbit movies to be better than the original Hobbit movie. But I was not even concerned with the way the Hobbit movies didn't compare more favourably than the LOTR movies.

Though we can make comparisons about Legolas' ability to defy gravity in both series, the Hobbit didn't do a great deal of fight scenes as extensively as in LOTR. I thought the Hobbit series was quite hollow in comparison. Just too few characters to follow (which did uncomplicate the storylines), and not much action.
