Suicide Squad cast almost fully confirmed. Jared Leto will (unfortunately) play the Joker, Will Smith is Deadshot, Margot Robbie will be Harley Quinn (get your fap hand ready, gentlemen), Jai Courtney will be Captain Boomerang, Tom Hardy will be Rick Flagg. Oprah Winfrey is sought after to be the villainous Amanda Waller, the more I think about it the more I like it.

Add that cast with Affleck, Cavill, The Rock, Gadot, Eisenberg, etc it will be very interesting how they build this universe, they certainly are going all out. My only concern is the villains. Having great actors for the leads is good, but Leto is a prententious wank who writes shit music and thinks he's Jesus and Eisenberg is an unknown for Luthor

Lack of continuity with TV series is crap.

Love Hollywood making Deadshot black lol.

New Bond movie will be called Spectre.

Agree with whoever said Monuments Men was bad. Dear lord it was bad.

I enjoyed Fury, although the plot holes were big enough to drive a tank through, but good action nonetheless.

Really???

I watched this on a long haul flight. Its neither doco or scripted its basically a couple of moderately funny comedians on a self indulgent trip to Italy...

Margaret, I give 1 and a half stars.

Christolf Waltz is going to be in it.

Saw 'Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story' quite enjoyed it. Realized the actress who played Bruce Lee's wife was the actress who played Gibb's wife in NCIS.

Smoking hot though. :lol:

Huh? Dude's a killer actor, then again people slammed Heath when he was cast so take it with a grain of salt. Glad they actually cast an aussie as Capt Boomerang. Nothing worse than an American doing those shotty Aussie accents. Tom Hardy as another DC Villain is an interesting one though i guess you never really saw his face as Bane.

Finally got around to watching Interstellar last night - figured it would be the type of movie I'd regret not watching at the cinemas.

I absolutely loved it. Was totally taken back and just sat there for a large amount of it, totally wrapped up in it.

Ever since Year 11 Physics I've always been amazed, and curious, about Einstein's Theory of Relativity, particularly Time Dilation, and that equation that proves you can't travel at the speed of light has stuck with me since then. So I was super happy/impressed/amazed/whatever that Interstellar touched on Relativity so much - I thought it was amazing what they did!

Not to get all batfink-y but over the last couple of years the whole concept of this world being treated like we have somewhere else to go, the whole climate change, food shortage, etc etc have been a big thought point for me. And while I haven't really changed my ways enough, it's something I consider to be a major factor in how I want to set myself up in the future - becoming self-sufficient with food, being all green-friendly at appropriate times, etc. This has huge inner conflicts with my everyday life, as I'm basically a coal miner :lol: but after watching Interstellar, even though it was because of blight etc, it has only further rammed home my thoughts that I need to start acting.

I've seen a lot of people, here and elsewhere, compare Interstellar to Gravity. IMO Interstellar is far, far better. For me, Gravity has slim-to-no character development, and is quite boring. Interstellar had some attempted tacky hollywood moments, like how much you begin to love TARS as a primary example, but overall it was just WAY better.

I was reading last night, after watching it, that how the black hole was portrayed in the film is an "accurate" model of how a large amount of scientists think a black hole of that type would look. Apparently the model was based off a heap of papers, theories, etc and took over 100hours to render. (One or both of the) Nolan apparently wasn't too keen on this model idea originally, so was prepared to just get some CGI guy to make a black hole looking thing from scratch, but after seeing the rendered model that these scientists made was so happy with it that he let it ride as-is.

I also was reading, and I think Benjamin was the one to touch on this, that Nolan wasn't just allowed to go gangbusters with Hollywood-ification and just chuck things in that showed no thought or anything from a scientific point of view. Apparently they had some lead scientist, and his mates, practically govern how everything went down in the movie. I was reading that this scientist and the Nolan's spent a total of 2 weeks arguing over an idea that Nolan had to get the ship to travel at the speed of light. Apparently the only thing the scientist wasn't truly happy with, was the ice-cloud planet.

Kip Thorne was the scientist mostly involved with Interstellar

What got me was how scientifically accurate and heavy on physics the film was - only to swing off into pure fantasy behind the bookcase. It was obvious that the 'ghost' was going to be connected to everything else but I found it really really difficult to accept what they were feeding us at the end... Which pretty much ruined what had been a very good film up to that point.

Well considering a lot of that physics is theoretical anyway lol.

It's a movie, not a documentary :)

Watched Edge of Tomorrow the other day. Was not expecting it to be so much fun to watch.

If I'm watching a fantasy like Guardians of the Galaxy or Star Wars they can go nuts and play with reality as much as they like - if I'm watching a film which is supposedly buried in scientific theory, I expect it to stick with the science, not abandon it at the end... It would be like watching Platoon for 90 minutes then suddenly having Charlie Sheen turn into Rambo and take on the VietCong single handed.

Well to be fair, there is no proof saying that what he did isn't real/can't be possible ;)

Same, thoroughly enjoyed it (and without shame I am a pretty big fan of most/all Tom Cruise movies).

Shame the end just came up so quickly.

-PB

This is true, but it is also mindnumbingly improbable.

Still - if they hadn't had the ghost and the stuff behind the bookcase, would have held it up as a classic. Easy to see why it's divided audiences. Would rather re-watch 2001 over and over, and enjoy unanswered questions rather than convenient answers.

The man knows how to do action movies

Went to the cinemas and watched Exodus last night.

Loved it, absolutely loved it. Prince of Egypt is still one of my favourite cartoon movies, and Exodus did this version insanely well.

The first trailer for the Entourage movie dropped today and features Emily Ratajkowski and Billy Bob Thornton.
I loved this show but the final season was a real let down IMO, hopefully the movie can redeem it.

Battle of the Five Armies. Such a let down.

Took the kids to big hero 6. Really enjoyed it myself.

Saw the interview last night.

Very B-grade but that's expected. Some good laughs at times.

i watched it today.

At times it was funny, but most of it was meh....

Was always going to be the case... Hobbit should have been a single movie rather than a trilogy, tried too hard to be something it wasn't.
