Super 8 - Biggest over-hyped piece of crap ive seen to date!! Ok, it might be interesting for sci-fi fans but this movie was so boring, i almost fell asleep half way through.

3/10

after reading clockers review i have just finished watching Attack the Block. and it was quite a descent film.
it reminded me a bit of shaun of the dead only because of nick frost being in it and acting like he did in the for-mentioned film.
overall if you can get past the lingo the young kids of today spoke in the film.it was very enjoyable a good 8/10 from moi..

A holiday trifecta:

Pirates of the Caribbean: Johnny Depp Goes Full Retard.
I shamelessly admit to being amused and entertained by the first Pirates, Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow was quite the unexpected Disney hero.
All the movies since are unmitigated shit, this last so wan and listless that I was embarrassed for all of us.
The sidestory of the mermaid and the Jehovah's Witness (I'm assuming) was far more compelling than anything Depp and Cruz could spark and having seen one Disney swordfight (which involves much brandishing of sharp, pointy things but remarkably little blood and fewer severed limbs...), I've seen them all.
Johnny, please find a new franchise.

Columbiana- Zoe Saldana.
The lead up to this movie's release has focused on whether or not Zoe Saldana could open an action hero movie.
Without even seeing the film I can answer the question...of course she can.
Given today's fondness for epileptic editing and pervasive use of standins, Kermit the fucking Frog could be convincingly cast as an action hero.
The question should be can Columbiana open as an action film, regardless of the star?

I think not.

I did like the girl who played the young Zoe and really, I liked Zoe herself well enough too.
I did not for one second buy into any of the Mission Impossible shit (I should tell you my architect friends story someday) and the whole "avenging the family" schtick is really getting old.

So yes, Zoe Saldana can kick some ass.
I just don't care enough to watch.

Fast & Furious- Fast 5- Koenigsegg CCX and an amazing amount of new Detroit iron in Rio.

Sshhh, don't tell anyone but while everyone else was asleep F&F- F5 snuck in and stole well, basically everyfuckingthing from George Clooney's Oceans franchise.
Clearly, there would have to be more car stuff...and there is.
The film's real MacGuffin is the addition of Dwayne "The ROCK!" Johnson as a borderline insane G-man.

Shared screentime between Vin and Dwayne is of necessity rather limited.
I assume that their combined presence would create a testosterone fueled black hole that could quickly lead to fiery death!, so The ROCK! is kept sidelined till Brazil raises a new generation of cannon fodder for his rogue agent to mow down.

That's alright though cause Vin and his generically good looking sidekick (Google it if you care, which I don't) need the time to break the laws of physics so the final setpiece can transpire.
Be assured that the final setpiece does transpire (your $15 ticket fee includes the Happy Ending), so I'm assuming that during one of the Rock's few scenes (probably the really inane one where he makes his crew reassemble a GT40 from pieces for no good reason) Vinnie and Tonto (citation needed) go back in time, murder Albert Einstein and warp the laws of the physical universe.
They return in time to pilot two Dodge Challengers sourced from a Lee Iaccoca wetdream and perform a lot of Rio's Olympic pre-construction demolition.
Such thoughtful boys, always have been.

This is another action movie that wants to cut the reek of Axe Body Wash by slathering "familia" over the sociopathy...oh yeah, family means everything to Dom and the gang.
Well, their family means a lot...the thousands of bystanders -one or two of whom might have families of their own- don't much matter and Dom is willing to risk his sister- his PREGNANT sister (but don't worry, she doesn't drink!)- in his suicidally harebrained assault on Precinct Trece but don't question his motives cause it's FAMILY!, motherfucker!
If that ain't enough, tough.


It ain't.

I think you just made that up so, whatever.

Hactually since you were putting on a faux Scottish accent I used an old Glaswegian curse, literally 'go away and boil your head', T'was a joke based on your slang.

[clocker]

I'm American so of course I "dinna ken".
Much like "British food", we don't believe the Scottish language really exists, being an elaborate put on to fool Donald Trump.

I'm an export myself, I was born in Scotland but do not remember much, I came out as a young child. My family and my wife's family are all from northern Scotland and the Shetlands so I get a steady diet of Scottish slang, it's not the language but some of the food I object to.
