I thought you had good taste in movies....disappointed.

Youre kidding me right?

Dude my fave movie is Cool Runnings - that is the extent of my taste in 'great' movies.

I will be watching the Prestige and the Illusionist - both again - tomorrow.
 
Watched Battlefield Los Angeles.....wow, what a load of botty rubble.

2/10

Dear Hollywood,

please leave oo'rah the fudge a lone! Literally disrespecting Full Metal Jacket, Generation Kill and Jarhead all in one go.

Battyfield LA is another example of you trying to over use this term, stop it :-$
 
Watched "This is the End" yesterday (James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogan, Danny McBride).

Really funny movie. The first movie in a long time that has made me laugh out loud in the cinema. Better than Pineapple Express, as good as Superbad.
 
Finally got around to watching place Beyond the Pines last night.

Good concept, very enjoyable first two acts, third act went to brick though (at least partly down to two very bad young actors).
 
Spring Breakers (7/10)

You have to stick with it until James Franco gets involved but then it actually gets good.

"Look at all my brick"
 
Watched Now You See Me at the Cinema - succinctly put - it had the potential to be such a great great movie and up there with the Illusionist and the Prestige but I think it failed to deliver. Thoroughly enjoyable though but just feel a bit let down.

Yup, was also hoping for The Prestige but thought it was a lame mix of Ocean's Eleven and The Da Vinci Code. The only highlights for me were some decent one-liners by Woody Harrelson - 4/10

Watched "This is the End" yesterday (James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogan, Danny McBride).

Really funny movie. The first movie in a long time that has made me laugh out loud in the cinema. Better than Pineapple Express, as good as Superbad.

Agreed, This Is The End is the funniest movie I've watched at the cinema in many months :lol:

I enjoyed Dredd a lot.

It's as deliciously brutal as it should be.

Yup, I find it strange that its Karl Urban who plays Dredd but ultimately it's a good choice. I just almost struggle to see Bones behind the mask. I think it's more Bones that's the weird role overall though, if that makes sense, as he's a good face and voice for action movies and I think Bones is more a behind the scenes presence usually.

I think it's a great film but it was only the second best Tower block film of the year, after The Raid which was immense.
 
Dredd was great. Going to watch it again this weekend.

Watched "The Man with the Iron Fists" last night. Written, directed and starring the RZA (from Wu-Tan-Clan) with assistance from Tarantino and Eli Roth. It's a typical Tarantino-esque mash up of old western and kung fu movies with a bad ass soundtrack. Really fun movie. Russell Crowe is great in it too.
 
Batman and Superman will unite on-screen for the first time in a Man of Steel sequel.

Warner Bros and DC Comics are planning to follow on from the success of this summer's Superman reboot with a team-up movie due in 2015

According to the Los Angeles Times, Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Clark Kent with a new actor likely replacing Christian Bale as Batman.

Man of Steel director Zack Snyder and screenwriter David S Goyer - who worked across The Dark Knight trilogy - will oversee the project with Christopher Nolan potentially taking on a producer role.

Plans for upcoming Warner Bros/DC Comics movies will reportedly be unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend. A Flash movie has been tentatively scheduled to appear in 2016 and a Justice League movie in 2017

Warner Bros previously attempted to launch a Batman vs Superman film in the early '00s with Wolfgang Petersen directing a script by Andrew
Kevin Walker (Seven).

Man of Steel, currently still showing in cinemas, has grossed more than $620 million in worldwide ticket sales.

The Batman and Superman movie franchise's have earned Warner Bros more than $5 billion in box office revenue since the release of Superman: The Movie in 1978
