Watched Expendables 3. Enjoyed Snipes & Gibson's scene chewing. Otherwise utter shit. Luckily, it reminded me of this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OXwVxIN_kA My gf called me a baby for tearing up after this scene. Rourke's emoting in this utterly kills me. Whatever.
It speaks infinitely to me of the "groups" that "release" movies that stuff like Expendables 3 and Transformers:AOE hit the internet hours after opening while worthwhile films that I actually want to watch sometimes never see the light of day.
Anyway not being gay I will watch E3 because Ronda Rousey's hot and I'm shallow and try to block out as much of the male bonding homo erotic overtones as I can.
Obviously, someone from The Academy leaked this. Must have been submitted for "Most Homo Erotic Thriller Since Greco-Roman Wrestling" category. In theaters, they have designed a limited edition popcorn bucket that allows one "bro" to insert his penis through the bottom while the other(s) appear to only be sharing the snack.Quote:

Please, don't make a #5, you're just going to make it worse.
How about making Gobots or He-Man... or sheera.. or something else way cool.
Just my 2 cents worth!

This movie is a sort of summer camp rated 7,1 on IMDB due to the multiple teenagers at puberty who'd like to be trated as equals by adults and appreciated, maybe, just by the tipsy generation after 90's. I watched it thanks to Kate Winslet, I thought she made the main role, not that kiddo. I prayed to end it sooner and I'll promise I'll read the plot first.
2/10
Honestly liked Expendables 3. Sure, plenty of ways to pick it apart, but as a nonsensical shoot-em-up, it served its porpoise.
I give it 8/10 bullets for people who actually enjoy over-the-top action. The biggest downside comes from the protagonist team killing several hundred anonymous strangers, but flip the freak out when one of their own gets wounded. Yes, wounded.
I found it to be literally unwatchable.Quote:

Anyways I'm merely commenting so I can talk about how there was/is talk of an all female version of the Expendables which hopefully won't turn out like this.
Jesus Christ,Bridget Nielsen:sick:,not that anyone in that cast hasn't been hit very hard by the ugly stick.
Bridget Nielsen wasn't hot when she was in her "prime". Never got the appeal except potential ghey musclemen in denial. :idunno:Quote:

Come to think of it, an all female cast of "Expendables" in Hollywood would include any woman over the age of 30. :mellow:
Just made my way through Lucy. The premise is that Scarlett Johansson gets a drug in her system which "unlocks" the potential of the human mind/body. Even setting aside the flawed notion that we only utilize 10% of our brains, the movie still stinks. SJ is always nice to look at, which made the 90-ish minutes bearable, but there are so many plot points that are cringe worthy that the whole thing becomes a waste. Any philosophical-ish points in the film can be seen in Her which was less action-packed, but a better overall carrier of the concepts.
As Idol would tell you, I have a decent tolerance for accepting movies for what they are. Heck, I even liked Expendables 3. This one doesn't even hold as much "respect" for the audience. Not quite as bad as Noah, but approaches it. Luc Besson wrote the thing, which surprised the heck out of me when I saw his name in the credits.
I must be wrong here because IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes give it a 6.3 and 63%, respectively. And it has grossed $101,348,300 (USA)(13 August 2014). :idunno:
Watched gravity http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1454468/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 because the concept seemed so cool but what I got what cool effects ruined by some out-of-real-shape ancient actors telling each other how beautifull they are and not knowing what eye colors their team mates in space was. If you can, watch some best-of video on youtube and spare your self of this crap. There is also technical bullshit in this film, like they would not add that to that because of weight, but you can read up on that if you care. Waste of fucking precious time.
The average age of a shuttle crew is something like 47 with the oldest active mission member being 61 so forgoing that part of Clooney's character was that he was retiring and part of Bullock's character was that she had never really lived I have to say good point on the age thing,spastic.:mellow:
I have all the respect in the world for real astronauts that have to deal with space junk and micro meteors. I said "some out-of-real-shape ancient actors"Quote:

Also and don't take this the wrong way but I'm certain Clooney could beat you in a fight and I'm reasonably sure Bullock could as well.
Anyway let us remake Gravity with The Rock and Michelle Rodriguez 'cause apparently then it will be better.
You call me a retard defending the actors? And not at on point getting to the real obvious flaws about this movie?Quote:

yeah, son. I'm the retard.
Idol is prematurelygrayghey anyway, so I'm sure you will excuse him. :unsure:

First as I've never been molested I'm pretty sure I couldn't be your son.As for your other points,that's probably why it's called Science Fiction and not Science Fact and why Gravity was nominated in the Best Drama and not the Best Documentary category at the Oscars.Quote:

I just love it when you guys banter! Meg, piercerseth, Idol you all are masters! :)
(I still raise angels.) :alien:

An embarrassment to anyone who has ever made a movie and that includes people filming stupid pet tricks on their iPhones.
In all honesty I don't know how anyone can make a movie this bad.
It really says something that it made me long for the simple stupidity of Lou Ferrigno's version. It least in the '80's they had the good sense to market Hercules to teen boys and include tits.:mellow:
Edge of Tomorrow ...a decent movie, well directed, unique story or plot line. Lots of scifi action!
Overall very entertaining! :)
(Really wanted Bill Paxton to say, "Game Over Man, GAME OVER!" like he did in the "Aliens" movie for those who viewed it way back when.) :alien:
Oddly given the state of things here at FST I can't seem to work up the enthusiasm to put any real effort into a "real" review so.......
Some City: A Dime to Keel Four
Going in I took for granted that it was going to be terrible and while it sort of was it happily wasn't anywhere near as bad as I feared.
The main negative besides the insistence for everyone of note having to speak in gravelly monotone presumably to effect film noir,was how God-awfully constructed the film was.
OK,nothing wrong with three stories tenuously connected but the one that could have been the best (and by a country mile) with Joseph Gordon-Levitt didn't really have a point and just sort of ended up filling space .
Other than that -9 points for having Josh Brolin as Dwight instead of Clive Owen. but +6 for Eva Green's phenomenal tits which I hope weren't CG enhanced or else someone's gonna pay or not and another minus for yet another film with strippers in which the strippers somehow don't strip and yet people who are the veritable scum of the Earth seem fine with it and don't riot and kill everyone in sight,
In summary I think overall that gives the film some number between 1 and 10.
I watched Sim City: A Mime to Shill More the other night. I fell asleep at numerous times and wasn't really following the plot. Didn't notice Brolin was playing Clive Owen's character. Thought he was a new addition. If so, wasn't done as well.
Eva Green gets her tits out a lot. If more women were as perfect as she is, more women would show them off, too. Sadly, we live in dark times...
Agreed, worst strip club ever. One stripper who doesn't strip. Has bad attitude, and is distant/sulking while dancing. With the clientele in the place I'd at least expect a donkey show. FFS, if Sin City were in Canada, Nancy would be shooting ping pong balls in guys' drinks. :no:
I want to hate Brolin for the roles he's gotten in, but can't say I entirely do. I may even warm to him if he shows any range.
Marv's face looked different. Kinda like they had a different makeup artist who didn't actually see the first show and was going off a description. Bothered me.
I'll be more precise in my scoring and give it between a 3 and 7.
That brought a smile to my face.I would have laughed but for the fact there was no actual human suffering involved.
Something like this:Quote:

I've read your review a few times Stehle and gone away going be nice, it was a good movie, be nice, it was a good movie and it's true it is a good move but a unique story.... honestly all the way through I was going this is Groundhog Day with big fuck off guns and armoured suits. The movie is a pastiche of a lot of other ideas and there is the all pervading feeling that you have seen it before.Quote:

The Equalizer: More Charles Bronson with a little Michael Myers sprinkled in than Edward Woodward.
The movie starts out really well but falls victim to a severe case of the stupids about the time the main villain is introduced and steadily degenerates into the truly implausible by the end.
If the director had had the sense or restraint to keep things '"smaller" and if not realistic then in the same area code at least ( I'm not going to use the assault rifle of the thug that I just killed because using a garden implement seems a lot more sporting:mellow:) then he might have been onto something.
Anyway Denzel's OK if you can overlook the fact he already did pretty much the exact same thing in Man on Fire and Safe House so I'm assuming he and Liam Neeson are in some sort of contest as to who can play the same character in the most movies.
Didn't hate it but besides making me nostalgic for the original it left me feeling a little empty. As I didn't really give a review I'll quantify everything and give it a 4.5/10.
Morgan Freeman would have been the better the better Equalizer- having come up on the Street...
Too Morgan Freemanish.Quote:

Denzel is always going to strike you as the man of action type and that works against the character( when Woodard showed up people were given to thinking it was practical joke or something until asses started getting kicked) but that is the very least of this movie's problems.
I liked the Equalizer series. Much of its strength came from being protected by forces that were not available to "mere" civilians. When pressures were made, it was shown to these local-type criminals what pressure means.
There seems to be an element from the original that is somehow out-of-place.
Still intend to steal the shit out of the movie, just wish it could have maintaines some of its roots a little better...
