The sooner Hollywood implodes in a shower of its own shite, the better IMHO. The cracked article warns of "fewer of the movies most of you want to see" - I say bring it on - or as the Purple one succinctly put it - Burn Hollywood Burn!

[Purple Monkey]

All I know is, all Hollywood has to do now is announce they're rebooting Ghostbusters....

...then it's fucking WAR.

...or a back to the future reboot.

I enjoyed Side Effects. Nothing amazing but worth a watch.

[t8yman]

Watched "The Iceman". Its a tough one to rate, as it may well stand up well as a movie on its own, but anyone with any background knowledge on Kuklinski will ultimately be disappointed as the movie misses so many important details. I read the biography, and watched the HBO interviews with Kuklinski from his prison cell, and found the movie very sparse on just how cold, ruthless and completely devoid of empathy RK was.

Upon reading a few IMDB user reviews after watching, I am not alone in my opinion.

We have no kids this week, so Mrs t8y and me are hoping to get a few movies in. Not decided exactly what yet, but might well give looper a go after all of the positive talk on here over the last few days.

I was disappointed with it, was expecting much more. The twist could be seen from a mile away.

Yeah but then I was thinking that because it was obvious it wasn't going to be that.

I enjoyed

Catherine Zeta Jones and Rooney Mara kissing each other!

I watched Prince Of Persia Sands Of Time last night. It was OK in a cheesy Disney film sort of way, but nothing special.

[viberunner]

Cabin In The Woods?! Seriously?! That was a pretty mediocre film at best.

God-damn you Internet!! You have failed me for the last time...

Why didn't you just watch the film and decide for yourself if it's good or not?

Watched 12 Angry Men yesterday. Really is a great watch, would recommend to anyone.

YES!

Thoroughly agree with that. Saw it a couple of years ago, ace film.

[WS_Jack_III]

Looking forward to Sky Movies Superheroes.

[When Jokers Attack]

Any fans of Curb Your Enthusiam on here?

If so go watch the new HBO film Clear History.

[The Nal]

Curb is one of the all time greats. The movie is getting mixed reviews though?

No sign of Curb returning either unfortunately.

[When Jokers Attack]

Yeah mixed reviews but It was pretty pretty pretty good.

I haven't seen all of Curb yet. Started season 7 the other week. Want to make it last.

[t8yman]

Love curb, shame the movie is being received badly...

On another note, I watched Kermodes "Top 5 of the year so far......" the other day on 'tube. He mentioned "The Act Of Killing" in his top 5, a documentary with some involvement by Werner Herzog, its about 2 gangsters in Indonesia who were basically the heads of 2 different death squads responsible for the genocide of over a million people in 1965. They are invited to re-enact their horrific memories in the style of different Hollywood genre films. Sounds bizarre I know, but its incredibly well reviewed everywhere. I started watching it yesterday but had to stop due to lack of time. Its amazing so far.

its available in the usual places. Its quite long.

Just watch it and then watch them all again! Series 7 and 8 are the best.

Seen it a couple of weeks ago, Pretty mental up to say the least, Especially the last half hour or so.

It was the extended version I watched.

[windy_miller]

I started watching the Hobbit on Netflix last night and was quite enjoying it until my internet packed up

[minute5072]

Batfleck. Hmm

[G-Stud]

I'm willing to give him a shot. I think he'll make a better Bruce Wayne than Batman but I'll wait and see.

[jump]

Didn't he once say that if he ever did another superhero flick it's because he's hit rock bottom?

[LondonTom]

I wonder if they will just ignore the Nolan trilogy now then? Or weirdly explain why Batman is different now. Seems a weird thing to do if they are trying to compete with the MCU.

[G-Stud]

Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is being considered a completely separate universe to The Man of Steel. They wanted to bring in an actor in his 40's as Batman for Man of Steel 2 as they wanted a veteran Batman, or at least a Batman that had been fighting crime for a while.
