I finally got around to watching Kick Ass - pretty good fun, but didn't really live up to what I expected from the geekgasms people were having when it was released.

This is blasphemy!

I love that movie. It's visually cool, ridiculous fun :thumbup:

Watched Centurion this weekend. It was a bit Malazanesque, although some of it felt a little forced. Good entertainment, though.

This line made me chuckle:

Truth. Everybody and their dog told that I (in particular) would love that movie. I suppose the expectations ruined it a bit for me..

Legalise drugs! And murder!

Clash of the Titans was not very good. At all. And, I came in with low expectations. I would have been pissed if I paid money to watch that in a theater.

3.5 out of 10.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Expendables last night.
Underwhelmed.
The cheesy lines were there but the timing was off on a few,
several big laughs from the audience.
To much plot and dialogue, not enough action coupled with a couple of horrid special effects brought the movie down.

I'm gonna start using this scale to rate movies from now on too, if you don't mind.

Rented The Sound of Music...I give it 7 out of 7 mishievious Austrian kids.

The Mrs and I were talking about how after Julie Andrews dies, some a-hole is probably going to remake this into total dogshit.

OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

I watched this documentary called The Dungeon Masters which follows the personal and gaming lives of three DMs. I was expecting something a little more comprehensive on RPGing, along the lines of Trekkies, but it turned out to be a lot more personal and focused mostly on the main three, with only a few minutes dedicated to more general interviews. Still, it was a pretty decent movie.

Did some just full marks the sound of music?
It scored a paltry 3 out of 7 disapointly optimistic children and not an idle daydream more!

I dunno, I'd give The Sound of Music a 16, going on 17.

Watched THE MESSENGER on the weekend.
And i must say, while it is a rather slow drama slash damaged war vet kinda movie. It is rather good for what it is.
And Woody Harrelson does a brilliant job in this, well deserved that nomination.

id give it 7 folded American flags out of 10

...┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐...

Why dont they make the whole plane out of that black box stuff?

I've been to the cinema to watch EXPENDABLES yesterday and I must say... THIS WAS B R I L L I A N T !!! Everything i hoped to see and more. I guess Shoot 'em Up has been de-throned as the best over-the-top action film ever. Bloody incredible - the cast, the fights, explosions and everything!

Also, it's another unofficial Warhammer 40k film - the black guy has a real motherfucking Bolter, it's amazing!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Watched When In Rome and While You Were Sleeping this weekend with the ole lady.

I know you dont care whether they were good or bad, I'm just sharing my misery.

I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.
