Wait…so you think Jason X was a better movie???
LOL!
Touché.
Jason X was shit.
is that the one in space? saw that years ago, again, didn’t really disappoint. Though if you’re a true Friday fan, I can see how that one could annoy you.
It was more of a lame comedy than anything else, kinda like Battlefield Earth or Broken Arrow; unintentionally funny.

BATTLEFIELD EARTH…Your gods will punish you for speaking of this movie in a public forum.
I recently finished playing Arkham City so I’m currently watching TDK, fucking love this show!

It’s a great film for a drunken Bad Movie Night. John Travolta’s worst/best fucking performance.

I read the books and enjoyed them, Serious fucking fail on the movie.

Contagion - turn your attention span to “full” before you see this, otherwise you’ll walk out ten minutes before the ending like two girls sat in the row ahead of me did (it seems longer than the advertised running time).
The virus, as movie viruses go, is pretty unmemorable (apart from the part where it kills people). That means no ebola-style displays of people sharting their own insides out 
No splatterfests to be had here…
This is a thinking person’s plague movie, where the focus is on the socio-political implications of a global pandemic rather than on the virus itself: it and Gywneth Paltrow are just MacGuffins to facilitate scenes of social breakdown in the wake of the disaster, and the search for a cure - which usually dominates this type of flick - is quickly resolved.
Scenes of looting were really downplayed considering this was meant of be an accurate depiction of would happen if such an event was to occur.
Solid movie. I didn’t regret watching it, but I’d quite happily have waited for the DVD if I hadn’t been talked into seeing it.

Just saw it. Good movie. Wahlberg was great but wasn’t in it enough. As you said it is about the social implications but I thought there would be more focus on the emotional effects. But this movie had a lot of elements others are missing, and great thought demonstrated throughout.
“Special”
This film was made in '06… and I never had heard of it until tonight.
EXCELLENT and unexpected film about a man who is a test subject for a new drug ready to be marketed. His side effects become a real problem when he thinks he’s becoming a superhero. Sounds silly, but it’s so real and gritty thanks to the talented Michael Rapaport starring in the lead.
Rapaport is one of those great actors who seems to have missed the good roles in the last decade or so. This one shows him at his best.
“The Way” starring Martin Sheen, written, directed and produced by Emillio Esteves.
Not exciting, not ground breaking - really nothing I can use in my recommendation - but I do still recomend it.
Estranged father finds out his 40yr old son has died on the the first day of the Camino de Compestella de Santiago.
He goes to collect the remains but is moved to finish the walk for his son instead.
Was a damn fine watch. But I might be predijuced because I’ve done stages of the GR11 whiich coincides with the way on bits of it’s route - the easy bits mind you!

Yes, I do.
I watched “Tekken” the other day. It stars Kelly Overton and some other people. It was pretty good. Compared to other video game movies like The Legend of Chun Li or Blood Rayne It was a fucking cinematic masterpiece. Kelly Overton’s ass cleavage pants should get their own Oscar nomination for best Ass Cleavage In A Movie award.
And I watched DOA: Dead Or Alive. Another movie that surprised me. It was just good campy fun. The usual over the top martial arts fight scenes with a good mix of wire fu. Some incredibly sexy women in just about every frame of the movie. Every scene is either a fight or comedic, which works with the ridiculous plot. It was an entertaining way to kill an hour or two before going to sleep.

Damn I forgot about that movie, I remember seeing the trailer.
Off to Netflix Que
Also check out Super, with Rainn Wilson and Ellen Paige (and Kevin Fucking Bacon) for another great “real life” superhero film.
I agree about Tekken and about DOA. Both over the top…but just campy enough for it to work. if you are the type who is picking out unrealistic moments just because a half-Asian chick flies over 500 soldiers, leaps over a wall, plummets to her death only to have a custom made accessory matching jet pack appear out of her back, you need to watch something else.
Zombie Apocalypse with Ving Rhames, pretty good zombie flick. Typical, but good

Defendor with Woody Harrelson and Kat Dennings is another good film along these lines. Really took me by surprise, because the trailer played it up like a comedy but it turned out to be much more than that.

I was looking forward to that but I don’t think it ever hit the cinema(not that I remember anyway). Supposed to be hilarious.
Watched Hall Pass this morning. I don’t get the hate surrounding this film. Sure it’s not a classic but it’s typical Farrelly brother, ya gets what ya see’s.
