I watched the Hollywood remake of Pride and Prejudice last night and it was ing pathetic, after an hour i couldn't bare it any longer and walked out. I loved the original BBC take of Pride and Prejudice which was very true to the book (i watched the 6 hours in one sitting, it's that good! :D) and the Bollywood remake Bride and Prejudice was great! (i have a soft spot for India and Aishwarya Rai <3 :p ) but me this remake was beyond , i don't know why i expected more from hollywood? :whip: :whip:
| quote: | so what other gory movies do you recommend?
something similar to Hostel or Kill Bill or with martial arts? |
Try and hire some of the Lone Wolf and Cub movies, they are on SBS often. These are the movies that inspired Tarantino, and the similarities are amazing! |

superman returns (unfortunately).
what a disappointment. i was all pumped for this, but i have learnt my lesson. reeve brought such charisma to his roles as superman & kent but this new fella was like a cardboard cut out. it was embarrassing at times. poor guy.
the super things superman did were pretty cool for the most part, but at no stage did the movie give me an emotional attachment to any of the characters. i couldnt care what happened to any of them. the best scene was where our hero was having the kicked out of him, not too dissimiliar from superman II. but even then, you felt a real connection with reeve getting bashed as a normal human. much less impact in the new flick.
also, since when was superman a home wrecker?
lex was the small highlight of the film, he had some nice one liners, but thats hardly worth over 2hrs of sitting in a cinema while some wit behind you cant manage to eat his snacks quietly. god i hate children.
im over big budget pieces of excrement that i get sucked into watching. its not fair.

This is why you only go to the movies if you have a missus... I've been single for a while now, meaning I only watch ty CAMS :(
But theres nothing better than canoodling the missus, you almost hope the movies just for the pleasure... Oh the days where getting busted by a torch and a pimply faced kid are long gone |

| hmmmm i definitely think they should have let kevin spacey loose in the movie and just let him do this thing. he had moments but at times it just appears he is restricted in the role. |

really? i thought spacey was given a long leash and was his most free-wheelin' performance since american beauty (that i've seen). in some scenes he was just comical, almost like a parody of luthor.
rezza: trust me, there's no comfortable position for canoodle'ing at the cinemas. |

You guys should watch 'Running Scared', its got that lame dude Paul Walker, but I gotta admit, he does a superb job playing the character in this movie... Awesome story line, old school plot, but done extremely well!
16 Blocks is another good movie too, Bruce Willis n Mos Def... another solid original storyline with more twists that MisSyM's
Both these movies arean't gonna be released for a while, but theres some dvd-ripped screeners available, if you know what i mean |

I watched three movies this weekend (yes I have no life).
Mystic River - WOW! Another amazing performance by Sean Penn and Tim Robbins. I am sure most of you have seent his as its a bit old now but it is going on my top 10 list right now!
5 disturbed men out of 5
The Family Stone - Sarah Jessica Parker "girly flick" that was actually a pleaant surprise. Luke Wilson is really funny and it has that hot guy from My Best Friends Wedding. Good for a laugh and a bit of romance (if your life is lacking this).
2.5 wedding rings out of 5
Pirates of the Carribean - Every Gold Class session for this was sold out at Jam Factory yesterday and so I had to sit in "normal" seats. our session was packed too! I loved the first movie so much and enjoyed this just as much although, maybe it went a little long. I found the end a bit confusing, I know I am blonde! Johnny Depp is awesome again as Jack Sparrow and the scenery and effects are amazing. I lauged all the way through and gasped at all the right times! The octopus creature reminded me of the scene that was cut from the Goonies! Def go and check this out... but done eat a large popcorn, large sprite and a bag of chocolates! You will get fat!
