So there we sat, watching the entire Spiderman 3 in Chinese. It actually didn't bother me, I feel like if it was in English I probably would have walked out of the theater before it finished.Quote:

I was there twice. The first time (Spiderman 3 incident) was when I went to visit my wife who was living/working there for 6 months. The second time was when I was giving a 12-hour lecture series on Environmental Chemistry at a university in Beijing ($2600 for two weeks, they paid for my flight and put me up in a nice flat, score).Quote:

I like this film, lots of actions. And also, I'm amused by the cliches and physical inaccuracies that appear throughout the movie. But of course, not a movie I watch if I have a choice (it was the only thing going on TV atm).
Thanks for playing ' I really don't have a fucking clue ', you are tonights leading contestant and may yet go onto the bonus round where hopefully you get to remove yourself from the gene pool. :blink:Quote:

It had a beginning, a middle and an end...bonus points for excluding a rating scale.
I'm afraid however, that major points will be deducted for Bachmannesque inconsistencies betwixt the opening- "I like this film, lots of actions" (sic)- and the closing- "Not a movie I watch, if I have a choice".
How strange that Al_X's TV only gets one station which sadly I can't use as an excuse for (attempting) to watch
Cross http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1046245/
A very strong contender for worst thing that I have ever seen.Note I said thing not movie and I've seen fluffy bunnies die.
I presume that it was originally intended to be a more or less straight retelling of some comic book that I have never heard of but somewhere along the line someone involved realized just how terrible it was and decided to try and make it something else.Although what I have no idea as it isn't funny or exciting or intelligible just very ,very, very weird.
Other than that the whole thing looks incredibly cheap , the actors seem to be ad-libbing everything ( talking Brian Austin Green and not Christopher Guest here btw) and not just their lines but their actions as well.The scene when they enter "the warehouse" as a supposed well-trained commando unit is something that your average six year old could have directed more believably.
Anyway I have no idea how it all turned out as I could not force myself to watch much after that part.
My advice is if you have a choice between watching Cross and slowly peeling off one of your own fingernails ,do the wise thing and choose the latter.
You probably need to explain how and why you attempted to watch this movie. I gathered within a couple of minutes that this would be utter shit. Then, afterwards, I went to watch the trailer to see how one could easily be fooled into thinking it might be a cool movie, but then I remembered to unmute my speakers.Quote:

Anyone like to suggest a movie to me that centers around idealism and heroism ,is good(ish) , not a metaphor for anything and I haven't seen 3 times already I would be much obliged.
The only things that spring immediately to mind are A Man For All Seasons and Into The Wild.Quote:

The former I know you've seen at least 17 times, but watch it anyway. It rawks. You know you want to. The latter, well, chances are you've seen that too.
What do you buy for the man who has everything.
The thing.
8/10
it was good.
I was going to go with a less sarcastic post right up until the last bit.... posting that he watched the movie because there was nothing else on removed all credibility (along with most of the I.Q. points previously credited). If the best he could come with is I watched it because there was nothing else on, he really doesn't have a fucking clue, he is just clueless in a different way to nimrods like the one above with the moronic rating scale.Quote:

I feel like my thought processes are forcing me to recommend Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring (2003).Quote:

You could treat the recommendation as if I never read "heroism" in your request, since I had already forgotten by the time I made the rec. Women that put out for midgets are either internally strong or a shell of existence from years of abuse, so I'm unsure about their status with heroine.Quote:

I would tend to agree except in the case of Mrs Chalice Rodin created a statue of her.Quote:

RA.ONE - Ok Movie.
Final Destination
Immortal is the latest movie .
When I see posts like this, I keep on imagining the author as being currently in a trial for epilepsy, and being subjected to a rapid burst of light causing a photosensitive seizure part way through the poast. Even nitin managed to get both parts of the title question in while managing a four word sentence, which is impressive brevity, but no, here we are blessed yet again with half a thought.....Quote:

Contagion- cast of dozens.
It's easy to make fun of large ensemble films (think Valentine Day or the current New Years Eve) but Contagion has a very compelling story-timely and briskly told.
Although it's fun to pick out the actors (Holy shit! Is that Dmitri Martin?), who, save for a few, are really just making cameo appearances, the plot moves with the speed of, well...a virus.
It's depressing to realize that We Are The World means not just raising everybody's boat but that we can all drown together as well.
I can't imagine Contagion did real well at the box office- because it's very depressing- but I didn't begrudge the runtime and thought it was quite well made.
So, make of that what you will.
The Thing 2011 Ok by me:)
On the other hand all the bacteria on your body rated it the feel-good movie of 2011.Quote:

I would tell you about the plot but the film didn't have one.
Anyway in review it's sort of sad to see that Billy Zane has given up on trying to make anything out of his life since breaking up with Kelly Brook.

God has cursed me with a love of a certain genre of movie were the majority of representatives of that genre are undeniably shite. Such is the case with TWW .The premise screams potential but the film is so badly executed(no pun intended) in it's rather pointless quest to be cool that the result is near impossible to watch the whole way through without hitting the fast forward button several times. Jang Dong Gun does a good job in the main role though embodying both the strength and weakness necessary for the part.
Anyway a plea to Hollywood,please stop trying to reproduce the success of 300.That was a flash in the pan where people were briefly willing to overlook the irritation of the art direction.Also one reason that Fellini remains unwatched by the majority of the World is because bizarre if often more repellent than interesting.
Again better late than neverQuote:

The Bang Bang Club Photography is an old hobby for me but the last few years re-entered my "enjoy doing list" in the highest position. This movie is the story of 4 great "war" photographers Greg Marinovich, Kevin Carter, Ken Oosterbroek and Joao Silva in South Africa the years just before the ending of apartheid. I don't know if it is idealism and heroism or it is just adrenaline that drives men like to do a job like this but this movie tries to discover the line between both options. Unfortunately Ryan Phillippe is too baby face and good looking for the role although he tries his best. Other than that a good story, with good rhythm and some fine acting especially surprising from Taylor Kitsch as Kevin Carter. When I saw his award winning photo in my mid-20's I was shocked.
Attachment 95348
Although I don't believe there is something heroic with his death I still admire works like that. It's not a great movie but it's an at least worth watching one. If you are interesting in this kind of photography their books are more than recommended
Io non ho paura The story of a young boy who made a momentous discovery as he plays with his friend and his sister in the country side. A simple scenario, child actors, and still a very interesting movie IMHO. The only drawback I can think is that the ending was really predictable. Music and photography in the film are fantastic. I'm not sure that innocence of the childhood can be named heroism but in my eyes the boy was a true hero. Not recommended for viewers who are looking for breath taking action thriller
Nothing so highbrow or emotive for me of late, in fact the latest watch was a pure grindhouse ala early Tarantino Catch .44 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1886493/.The standout performance in this movie is Forest Whitaker, who switches characters smoothely and instantaneously and coming across as seriously creepy in the process.
Bruce Willis although top billed only has a bit part in the movie (along with a segue to an old song by him during the roadtrip). Although being a grindhouse movie the characters are all supposed to be reprehensible, they aren't developed well in the story and Bruce Willis just comes across as a strange old fart, slightly confused by events but trying to keep on top of them, but you can't really warm to the character or understand why the rest of the characters would A. want to work for him or B. just don't go fuck you and leave long before the events unfold.
The main characters of the movie are 3 'hard' girls, although in the movie one is a whiny bitch who just nags the shit out of Tes the lead character all the time, while the other one just blindly follows, the reasons why these two are in anyway incorporated are left to the imagination. Apart from the fact that they are half sisters that is about it for a background. Also why Tes became a drug dealer when her talents revolved around looking pretty at a sleazy strip club (waitress not dancer) and lifting wallets, just shows poor judgement on the part of the aforementioned Bruce Willis character, Mel.
Despite the character flaws, I enjoyed the movie however. Grindhouse was never meant to be highbrow, so someone looking for cinematic crafting is just being an idiot looking for it in a movie like this, and the atmosphere created in the movie with special mention of Forest Whitaker's character Ronny was great. I also liked the bumbling backwoods Sheriff finding yet more corpses all around the countryside, played by Brad Dourif.
So in summation although there are serious character flaws in this movie, it is the atmosphere after all which carries a movie like this, and the sense that there is something seriously wrong with these people is carried well throughout. Switch your brain off, sit back, relax, and let the violence wash over you, that's what you were there for in the first place.
In my seemingly never-ending quest to destroy brain cells and shorten my life through increased blood pressure I inflicted Almighty Thor upon myself. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1792794/
At this point I want to formally apologize to any movie that I previously labelled as being the worst thing in history ,human or otherwise , since with Almighty Thor I think I have found a low mark that can't possibly be beaten.
Overlooking that the scenes don't even bother to follow one another in some coherent fashion or a movie, purportedly about Norse gods couldn't have been more poorly cast if the job was left to a blind man throwing darts at a list of student names from a Japanese middle-school or that nothing save the names are remotely in tune with mythology or the acting, if it can even be called that, makes whatever the worst acting that you've ever before seen look like Academy Award material by comparison (Richard Grieco apparently thinks that randomly changing THE volume of WORDS in a sentence is AKIN to emotING) I still can't forgive that they couldn't even do the shite CG to the minimal point of having Loki's giant dog thingies make contact with the ground when they "ran".
Oh and the hammer the focus point of the whole mess looked like something that I could turn out while high on LSD and using a soggy lasagne noodle as a tool.
I mentioned the Norse love interest speaks with a Spanish accent didn't I?
On some level, crap like Planet 9 or Troll or Battlefield Earth still has a tad of entertainment value. This unforgivable pile of garbage has absolutely none.
If Hell has a multiplex I am certain Almighty Thor is showing on every screen.
