Jaaakkkeee Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Couldn't find skatopia. Watched X-Games The Movie. Pretty good. Thon boy doing the big air jump after breaking his foot and still doing a backflip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Absolutely it is. When I moved to Poland I downsized my DVD collection from several hundred to just 10 films that I couldn't live without. Riding Giants made the cut. In retrospect I made some odd choices.

Skubbs Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 The Perfect HostDude robs a bank, then cons his way into Niles from Frasier's house and basically gets more than he bargained for. I hadn't realised just how fantastic an actor David Hyde Pierce is, and it's pretty dark humour but well worth a watch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Lawless I love a good gangster film and this one was OK. Tom Hardy leads a family of bootleggers in prohibition era Virginia. All's going well until Guy Pierce arrives as a walking cartoon of a corrupt, evil, masochistic cop sent from the city to bring order to the hick gangs making moonshine. He beats the shit out of Shia Le Beouf, probably the best thing he did in the whole film, starting a conflict which leads... blah... blah... blah. It was pretty obvious where this was heading as soon as Pierce appeared on screen. To be honest it was kind of sad that the film ended up down this road. It would have been much improved without the distractions of Pierce's terrible character and Le Bowff's awful acting. He was fucking irritating all the way through. The same film but with Tom Hardy's character as the true centrepiece would have been much better. As it stands, Lawless is a solid film which could have been something great.

Jaaakkkeee Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 HerJoaquin Phoenix installs a new OS, which is constantly evolving. This OS 'Samantha' evolves to the point where she develops wants, needs, and love. Joaquin falls in love with is OS. One of the best love stories I've ever seen. Heartbreaking and touching. And it made me kind of want to dump my gf for an OS. Film of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Zero Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 The Lego MovieTook my son to see it at the weekend. Fucking ace.9/10Spring Breakers4 girls rob a cafe to get money to go on spring break, where they are arrested and bailed out by gangster James Franco, who then persuades them to join his escapades. I found this a bit muddled in tone and style, it was like a serious movie with American Pie level tits and ass footage shoehorned in every so often.6/10The WolverineWolverine in Japan, taking on yakuzas. Pretty ding really.5/10Good VibrationsTrue story of Terri Hooley who opened the titular record shop in Belfast and released The Understones 'Teenage Kicks' in amongst various shows of business ineptitude. Pretty decent film actually.7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 50 Years of the WWE - it's fucking ace. Pretty in-depth look at the company and the various eras. It's obviously entirely funded by the WWE so it's not the most incisive investigatory journalism but there's nothing better than snippets of old-school wrestling. Made me realise just how good the attitude era was. Worth a watch. One thing that always pisses me off is the entire avoidance of the whole WWF > WWE issue. I still don't know exactly what happened. Why did they change? Just because the animal one had the name first? The part that annoys me is that they don't even acknowledge that everyone grew up calling it the WWF and suddenly we're just supposed to be on board with the E thing. Even just a 2 minute segment in the film to say 'hey... so this happened' but nope, nothing. They obviously avoid showing any clips of anyone saying 'WWF' back in the day too. Weird. It's not fucking Opal Fruits... this name change was a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I will never ever call it WWE. It just sounds so wrong to me. Anyway if I were to talk about it I would probably be referring to the period when it was called WWF so I'd consider that correct. Last film I watched was thishttp://youtu.be/gSqMw8UtOvw I'm not really a fan of basketball but this is the second time I've watched this. Perhaps the best sports documentary I've ever watched and the footage of those two players does make more interested than the sport than I usually am.

They are also required to blur out the old WWF logos.I also watched this over the weekend actually, the first half is ace but the second half is basically just an advert and an opportunity for them to blow their own trumpet and go on about their charity work and stuff.

The Milner Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) That's insane. What was the reason they had to change? Did the panda WWF have it trademarked or something? Im pretty sure it had to do with the WWF and the now WWE had an agreement that the wrestling would not use the initials WWF to advertise their product. Vince broke this agreement when he started advertising the wrestling online and the WWF sued. Rather than come to a compromise Vince changed the company running the wrestling to WWE and used it as a huge marketing campaign. The weird thing is, the WWE still own the rights to the WWF logo, but cannot use the initials and the WWF are now called the WWFN, so neither company uses those exact initials anymore.

I watched this last night after seeing your post. It's a good watch. The Magic Johnson 30 for 30 revolves around his HIV announcement and his relationship with his wife. It retreads a lot of ground from this one but it's definitely worth a watch too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I will probably watch it and Hoop Dreams too which I read a bit about after your recommendation and sounds interesting. I watched another documentary last night, called Dogtown and the Z boys, about surfers who started skating in swimming pools. It was ok.

Chris Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Olympus Has Fallen Well, this is a "special" film. To be honest I knew what I was getting into before watching this and wasn't really disappointing. It's utterly fucking preposterous. 2 hours of almost non-stop action as North Korean terrorists take over the White House and hold the US President hostage. Gerard Butler is the only agent left alive in the building and has to save the day all by himself. It's way over the top, completely unbelievable and pretty good fun if I'm honest. Probably takes itself too seriously at times. Would have liked to see some more humour in it or a bit of panache in some of the fights, instead they're played for brutality for the most part.

Jaaakkkeee Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Brotherhood of JusticeProbably the best thing to ever be made. Go watch it. Was a TV movie from the 80s. With Keanu Reeves, Billy Zane, Kiefer Sutherland and a whole load of others just being so 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
