^Worst edit in the history of cinema prevents me from agreeing with you.

Could have been amazing, that's true.

The Amazing Spider-Man. Was ok. Emma Stone was the main reason to watch. Movie was just ok.2002 film IMO is better. However this Peter is better at the wise cracking.

Fight Club with commentary by Chuck Palahniuk and Jim Uhls.

Now that I have a TV, i'm gonna be watching this movie alot for the next week or so.

Just watched dark knight rising for the first time since the cinema. I wonder what became of Ramirez from the second one?

[Kenny]

Haywire.

Minus the fight scenes, this movie sucks.

The Raid: Redemption.

Heard some rave reviews about it. The action scenes are really cool and its well-shot for the most part, but the story is really weak. I'd say almost non-existent aside from the basic premise. It's one of those films that have really cool moments in it but that's about it. Wish they had more little moments with these characters before they went ahead and did their thing.

I'd say Dredd, which is similar, is a bit better cause it had a more interesting story.

Probably locked up or simply gone into hiding.

John Carter

I liked it. Story could have been better written and the CGI is bad. Looks like Star Wars Episode 1 and that was 1999.Still enjoyed it as a fun fantasy sci fi.

Saw Lincoln this weekend. Very impressed.

[Who Really Cares?]

Picked up my copy of The Dark Knight Rises. Word is its one of the best looking HD films.

Went to see Skyfall yesterday and I must say I was disappointed with it.
I've heard relative unanimous positive reviews about it and IMO it did not deliver.

The first half was just a bore to sit through and, as things started to pick (when the main vilain is introduced), it becomes stale fast enough and ends in a rather anticlimatic fashion.

There are some things that bother me

and I'm not even going to talk about that "Home Alone" scene near the ending, when they are preparing those traps along the house. I was wondering when joe pesci was going to appear

However what really left me sad is the overall tone of the movie. It's was a dark and moody film, I get it, but the feeling I get is that (for better or worse) every action movie nowaday has to mimmick or rip-off the Dark Knight in one way or another. Don't get me wrong, I liked the Dark Knight, but action movies don't have to take itself too serious, they're over-the-top and appallingly not like real life, that's where the charm lies.

And what I liked about the bond movies is that wiseass remarks (where he almost escapes a lifethreatening situation with just a witful and innuendo remark), how bond oozes class and seduction, a right mixture of comedy and action and vilains that want to take over the world just for the sake of it.

As for Skyfall, it has a rather dark tone, very few comedy, a villain with psychological problems with a personal vendetta (another characteristic from the TDK syndrome) and almost no romance (seriously, was there even any bondgirl?? Apart from M and Moneypenny, there was one woman whose name I don't even remember because she was on screen probably not more than 15 minutes).

As far as bond movies, I just can't be happy with this one

[Who Really Cares?]

That's been my biggest issues with the last 3 Bonds.

First they tried to be Bourne now Batman, Just be BLOODY BOND!

The Dark Knight Rises.

My first time watching it

[Kenny]

Life of Pi.

It's a good movie. Has alot of different meanings and metaphors sewn into it which I always enjoy in anything.

[Bluecast]

Splinter.

Reminds me a lot of THE THING. Was pretty good.
