Two Guns with Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington. Solid action flick, an entertaining 100 minutes. Paula Patton plays the chick. Can’t figure out what Robin Thicke was doing cheating on her. [/quote]
No matter how hot you think some chick is, somebody, somewhere is tired of her shit.
RPG - Z-grade mishmash of the Hunger Games and an Agatha Christie whodunnit. A bunch of undeserving wealthy wrinklies pay a shadow organization for a second chance at life by being downloaded into younger bodies in a fight to the death. No reason given for what the young avatars had for signing up. They deserved everything they had coming to them.
I watched it for Rutger Hauer. He played a hologram.
I saw Burnt Offerings [1976], on the weekend. Good little thriller/psychological horror starring Oliver Reed. It was in the Hammer films style but better quality than most Hammer films.
“The Last Days on Mars”
Sci-Fi, space, zombies. Pretty well done.
Critics hated it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Just finished Godzilla. Terrible.
The Hobbit 3 is bad. The majority of the run-time is just a 20-30 minute battle scene dragged onto what must have been an hour or so. Felt oh so tedious by the end of it.

In anticipation for the 3rd film I was going to try and watch the other 2. And by try I mean I was going to attempt to sit through the 1st one which actually put me to sleep last time. Seems like I should just forget these 3 existed.

It’s definitely the worst of the trilogy. Far too much face time for characters that had minimal or no roles in the book (Lego-ass, Bard’s brats, fricking Alfrid) to the detriment of characters that were (after three movies, the company of dwarves remain for the most part a mass of hair, Beorn is reduced to a cameo) some of THE worst dialogue ever to grace the screen : Thranduil and Tauriel’s exchange on why love hurts so much (“because it’s real”) is straight out of a hair metal ballad and a CGI Billy Connolly astride a war-pig is even hammier than his porcine steed (missed opportunity for some Black Sabbath entrance music, there Mr.Jackson).

Was it on Netflex or did you rent it?
Open Grave- a man wakes up in a pit of corpses without the foggiest of how he got there. He soon encounters a group of similarly memory-challenged individuals and they spend the rest of the movie trying to fend off sporadic attacks from murderous zombie-like people while eyeballing each other suspiciously and trying to figure out which of them is to blame for the whole mess:
Credit for trying to do something new with the ‘group of disparate people wake up in a room with total amnesia’ sub-genre. Trouble is, the characters spend most of the movie ambling around with no clue of who they are, so the cast don’t get a lot to work with.
I watched the Lego movie at the weekend and was pleasantly surprised. It’s actually really funny!

In hindsight, The Hobbit 3 sums it all up.

My boy loves that movie. I’ll confess I really enjoyed it as well.

It could have actually been good, if Peter Jackson didn’t suffer from a bizarre case of wanting to make the movie absurdly long for the content you have.
So many things are stretched far beyond what’s needed. The film could easily have been 30 minutes shorter, and then it would have been a fitting ending to an o.k. trilogy. Instead we get a bloated mess.
I have no idea why the last 30-40 (I don’t really remember) pages of a book needs to be an two and a half hours long. I really don’t.
