Last movie you watched

[NERMAL]

Marvel's The Avengers: Bad-ass. Whedon did a great job not only servicing all of the main characters, but also injecting just a shitload of humor and wit into the screenplay. The humor probably rivals all of the other Marvel films. The action was good, the acting was good. I think Ruffalo might be my favorite Bruce Banner. It felt pretty epic, as well in terms of pacing and length. Might be my favorite of the Marvel flicks so far, I'll obviously have to see it again to really decide. A.

Also, that post-credits scene (that I think you Euros missed) was hilarious.

Hilarious? Did we miss something? I saw my favorite villain,not some slap stick...

Aaawwww....you know what? Between a comedic ending, and the one we got, I think I'm happy.

The new credit scene is something with all the team sitting around a table eating dinner? sounds like an outtake.

Saw The Avengers last night. It was really cool. *sigh* I have no idea who that guy in the credits actually was.

Also I didn't see any of the previous 5 films to this one.

Red Tails

Based on the Tuskegee Airmen of WWII albeit somewhat loosely, but still a pretty good close depiction of what life was like for African American airmen in service over Italy.

You can tell this is a Lucas production you really can, the dialog is terrible and the cgi effects are very reminiscent of 'Star Wars' effects, heck I even noticed the same audio used for explosions and engines I think, I'm not saying the film is bad but merely a clear Lucasfilm production (we know Lucas used WWI/II dogfighting as inspiration for his space battles...and it shows here). It has the look of an old 50's boys own adventure style comicbook or an old TV adventure serial, like the inspirations behind 'Indy', but on the other hand it also bares similarity to a videogame adaptation of old arcade Capcom classic 1942.

The visuals are of course crisp, clean, sharp, rich and colourful....in short it looks a treat, a comicbook come to life. The problems are the whole thing feels like a TV movie or one of those old TV adventure serials with all episodes stuck together to make a film. The acting is pretty wooden really, the cast are mainly unknowns to me apart from Gooding but it is all pretty hokey to be honest.

Best thing about the film is obviously the action sequences focusing on lots of dogfighting (again kinda seems similar to 'Star Wars', even using the same quick fire dialog here and there! 'I can't see him!' 'I'm on your tail' etc...). The rest of the film is really a bit dull but the dogfighting is brilliant fun to watch.

The characters are terribly cliched and boring which in turn means you know what's gonna happen a mile off. Again...visually I can't fault it, looks terrific but the plot is your totally unoriginal underdog routine with characters we've all seen before. Good intentions for a lively historical epic but it falls short, a shame, but its still a fun action film. The finale with the playing of the American 'The Star-Spangled Banner' is also a tiny bit too much for me.

I had to look it up. Some guy named Thanos. He looks like Darkseid and Apocalypse to me. Comics seem to have a lot of these dudes.

The scene at the very end is the team eating chicken shwarma. In a half-wrecked restaurant. Not one line of dialogue. It's great.

Devil Dolls (2012)

What on earth was the point of this Mr Band!? I thought this was gonna be another dubious yet enjoyable killer puppet horror comedy yet it turns out to be a compilation of three of his older films!!

'Demonic Toys' 'Ragdoll' and 'Doll Graveyard' have all been cut down to short 30min stories which make no real sense now and mainly show the dolls killing. If you wanna make a compilation of kill sequences from your films fine but don't market it as a new film for chuffs sake!.

Complete waste of time and utter rip off Mr Band, for shame. What was the point anyway!? why watch this when you can watch the whole film properly, milking the shit out of your films is an understatement Mr Band.

Alien

So it turns out Aliens really don't like Nitrosyl Chloride, according to the gases Ripley starts using at the end to flush it out. Who knew.

Aliens

Theatrical cut. Can't stomach the DC any more.

Whenever I watch the two back-to-back (or near enough) the fight with the Queen at the end just seems like so much bullshit. It's fine, as action scenes go, it's just ... it doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would've happened in the world Alien set up.

Watched the Star Wars Original Trilogy last night. Not much to say about them at this point...

Crank 2

I know that I recently badmouthed Statham, but as sick and twisted as the movie was, I actually had a great time watching it. The epilepsy-inducing camerawork fucking pissed me off though. Still, better than the first one, which is unfortunately rare.

3/5.

Still, better than the first one

AAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Act of Valour

Glorious. I appreciate the effort to attain realism. But that plot was so delightfully bonkers, the kind you'd expect from an Aaron Norris directed Cannon film. Relentlessly entertaining.

I actually just watched Empire and Jedi this week with my mom. Empire, yeah, amazing as always.

And with Return of the Jedi, even though it's kind of obnoxious to switch to a forest environment with little warrior teddy bears running around, I love the movie.

I still find the Ewoks cute. But I was born well after the line.
