That scene in the bar was brilliant :lol:

Winning.

Watched Cabin in the woods again for some reason, still just as shit as the first time. Such a bad movie

Im about to watch "The Animal"

Loved the Animal when I was younger, not sure if it as great as I remember it to be though

There's no such thing as a good Rob Schneider film.

The Hobbit wasn't bad. But I prefered the LOTR series.

Jack Reacher is fail because of Tom Cruise. Reacher in the Lee Child Book. Reachher is meant to be 6ft plus tall and absoloutly built. Who do they cast for the role?

Tom Cruise. ](*,)

What a shit film that turned out too be.

Just curious, but why do you think it's such a bad movie?

Though the title is about as creative as a ricecake, Gangster Squad looks pretty good.

Agreed, quite a decent cast too which inspires some optimism, it's definitely one of my most anticipated releases.

If I'm honest, I'm only really seeing it because Emma Stone is in it.

Really mixed reaction to Gangster Squad so far. Only 47% on RT with an average rating of 4.9/10.

So pumped to see Hitchcock on Friday, going to be brilliant imo.

They really couldn't have found a better person to play Alfred Hitchcock.

The reviews I've read have said it's a bit over the top and the story is average- but nearly all the reviews have said Brolin, Gosling, Stone and Penn are all really good. Still keen to see it.

The core of it seems to be that it's a 21st century blockbuster rendition of The Untouchables.

Gtfo it hipster tard.

Whenever I read his nameI always think of that south park episode. Rob Schneider is the carrot...is the stapler.

Lee Child always said the Reacher the character "Reacher’s size in the books is a metaphor for an unstoppable force, which Cruise portrays in his own way"

I personally think he did a good job, and i cant stand the guy.

Finally got round to seeing it...

As I suspected it would be - at least 60 minutes of unrequired material to fill it out. Knew I was in trouble the second Frodo showed up - absolutely no point in having his scene in there, we already know it's a prequel to LOTR, we've already linked Old Bilbo to Young Bilbo via the drawing in the front of the book. Should have jumped straight from the (added) prologue about Smaug's arrival to Young Bilbo meeting Gandalf.

At other times, particularly the fight/chase with the Goblins, I felt like I was watching King Kong with action sequences that ran 5 minutes instead of 3.

Even with all the added stuff there's not enough material there to warrant three three hour films. The only excuse is that the battle of the 5 armies and the battle for battle of Dol Guldur, which will no doubt be HUGE Helm's Deep style sequences in the other two films, probably need to be split up to do them justice, which would make for pacing problems in a single film or a two-parter.

Also, and I don't mean to be petty (but I am) - (no spoiler here) - if you plan to use someone as a decoy, running in the same direction as he runs is never the best idea.

Saw Gangster Squad, was alright, not bad, but worth seeing some Emma Stone sideboob.

-PB

While I agree that there is stuff in there that didn't need to be there you are right that it was put in there to help give the bigger sequences later more attention.

I would of preferred that they tried to link some aspects of Tolkien's (son or otherwise) notes/other works into the tale as well.

Still, all in all I love it and would gladly snap up more Middle Earth when it's on tap.

Would love to see other back stories done as well one day, things like Children of Hurin etc.

So an average film made worthwhile by sideboob. Sounds like every Hollywood film for the last decade.

Pretty much lol

The press are having a field day with the omissions of the likes of Affleck and Bigelow for best director.

Tbh, I think both of those films were more down to stellar acting performances than any directorial work.
