Worlds End

Not as funny as Shaun Of The Dead or Hot Fuzz but still a good chuckle.

Not as funny as Shaun of the Dead but preferred it to Hot Fuzz.

All 3 have a very similar feel/theme though.

I definitely didn't expect that to happen in the gents' toilet though.

Prometheus

Had low expectations but found it to my liking. 

A friend recommended I watch it but don't think about it as it chugs along.  This was good advice.

Earthquake (1974)

You would think people in disaster movies would know not to take use a lift during an earthquake.....
And yay for polystyrene blocks of concrete falling all over the shop, with the camera man using the old "shake camera for earthquake" special effect.   ;D

The use of a dartboard to predict the epicentre of the quake was classic.

Speaking of lifts.

I watched Speed at the weekend.  Absolutely brilliant action film.  One of the very best.  Great premise.  Great pace.  Just great all round.

A (sadly now deceased) friend of mine worked in the lift industry for decades.  He really liked Speed, because it was about the only disaster movie that took care to get the all the lift stuff right.

Based on your review, I thought I would see if I could endure it.  I managed 10 minutes then switched it off.

Instead I watch "The Last Ride", which is this: BRILLIANT!

Plot (such as it is) is in spoiler...

Killing Them Softly

Styled crime flick with high concept "hitman comes to town to kill some petty crooks".  Some excellent slo mo camera work (albeit overlaid with CG).  Some tedious slo mo plot lines.  Kind of ok, with typically charismatic performances through the film.

Stonehenge Apocalypse

Low-budget disastery nonsense with a cast who only signed up because they thought they'd get to visit England, and very conspicuously didn't.

Zero Dark Thirty.

OK, but not as good as had been led to believe (and not as good as a typical episode of "Homeland").

Brilliant from start to finish. Don't know why I hadn't got round to seeing it sooner.

Pacific Rim.

I loved it, great action. I liked the story but sadly I wasn't sure if that was because I'm such a Neon Genesis Evangelion fan so used that to fill in the gaps. Yes everyone claims that it had nothing to do with this film so it's the biggest coincidence ever.

Well worth watching in HD on a large screen with the subs on 11 (sorry neighbours).

The extended version definitely makes this a two evening movie. Part two tonight. I'll cry, I know I will...  :facepalm:

Hahah...traumatized neurotic Japanese girl manning a big stompy robot with a sword to kill monsters, whilst having various breakdowns/flashbacks. It was such a blatant rip-off.

FYI, when I was at Weta Digital 10 years ago (10 years already!), the Workshop was doing costume/design test for an Evangelion feature film. Sadly, it never got greenlit.

CAT 8

The trailer made it out to be basically the film version of xkcd 673, but without the pace, acting or effects budget of The Core (they did, however, borrow the plot of The Core). Instead of a shuttle full of NASA's hottest astronauts, they had a dubious B-plot about a defence secretary with a really stupid personal grudge.  This was a mistake, which let the film down greatly.  Bonus points for a superluminal coronal mass ejection, though, and I should stress that the title has nothing whatsoever to do with UTP cable.

Noteworthy for the way that all the characters make sensible decisions in the early stages of the disaster, if only as a lesson in why stupid disaster movie characters are actually better.

It was still a better movie than Stonehenge Apocalypse.

Like Father, Like Son

At the ICA, a Japanese film about a wealthy businessman discovering his 6 yrs old son was swapped at birth.  Very sensitive study of family life.

Only minor gripe, as with most Japanese films and dramas, the driving and street scenes show a remarkable lack of other traffic and people, totally unreal for Tokyo!

It's so long since I did or didn't watch The Wizard of Oz, I can't remember if I ever watched it or not.

Whatever "Online offsite backup" I downloaded, it wasn't the original. A Musical Porn version. Awesome  :thumbsup:.

But not really in the mood for musical BJs, so I switched to the next "Unviewed" in the XBMC queue.

"To Sir with Love". Lordy - it's not exactly Politically Correct, is it? LOL  ;D

Start Trek into Darkness.

Well, I enjoyed it. Maybe because I don't think I've seen any other Star Trek films. Apart from the one with the Ewoks.
