inspired by this I thought I would give Ghost Shark a go.I gave up quite early on. Basically an episode of Scooby Doo but they forgot the big dog.

That did make oi laugh. We managed about 15 minutes of Ghost Shark too.

Sharknado - Watch it, thank me later  

Seriously, it's funny because it's so crap. The tagline was "Sharks, in a tornado. 'Nuff said." 

8/10







The best bit about it was the title. However, it still towered over Piranhaconda and seemed like Citizen Kane compared to Nazis from the centre of the Earth. Sadly I'm a sucker for the SyFy channel.

You need to see Arachnoquake. Awesome!

I've got 12 Monkeys, and 13 Assassins on my playlist for this week. Unfortunately they're two separate films, not one awesome one.

The tension would come from the assassin who felt left out because he didn't have a monkey.

Last night I watched Conan The Barbarian.

O.M.G.

To call it a pile of shite would offend shite.

No, it's brilliant! It's so stupidly over the top it's genius.

The baddie who looks like an ex-member of Spinal Tap is priceless. And James Earl Jones was doing Vader... but in person.

Unless you mean the remake - which I haven't seen, don't want to and probably is.

No, no, no, the original is indeed brilliant. Do not under any circumstances watch the remake, unless you are really, really pissed off with yourself about something.

The last Star Trek film .. found it rather average to be honest .. they script writer could have at least come up with a new villain. Just lazy ...

You had to be in your teens and see it at the cinema when it came out.

Edit: sorry, I've just realised you were talking about the remake (which I haven't seen and don't intend to). :-S

Or maybe not as the one without the monkey would be the least conspicuous which is an enormous bonus as an assassin.   I loved 13 Assassins BTW.

Flight. The first half hour was absolutely awesome. The rest was pretty good as well.

See, now me being a bit of an aviation bore spoiled Flight for me.  I spent the entire main action sequence telling Mrs Fab "Well, that's plainly nonsense - you just can't do that.... the flaps wouldn't extend like that and besides, the JT-8Ds would flame out if inverted for that long... etc".

My black eye is almost healed.

Watched The Big Picture the other night, a French film (original title: L'Homme Qui Voulait Vivre Sa Vie) with Romain Duris. It was pretty bleak, although Duris was great as usual.

It's about a lawyer who wanted to be a photographer but gave it up. Then he accidentally kills his photographer friend (who happens to be having an affair with his wife) before stealing the dead guy's identity and fleeing to Hungary, where he takes some photos. Then someone throws him off a boat. Overall, it was a solid 7/10.

I then compensated for such depressingness by watching Wedding Crashers afterwards. I laughed. It worked. Another 7/10 job.

Saw "The Wolverine" on Sunday. What a pile of shit.

"This Is The End" - very funny in places; Michael Cera is brilliant; 7/10

n3p

Insidious 2. Not much to say really! Average at best.

RobDavies

End Of Watch. Gritty LA cop movie. Very, very good.

TimmyO

Iron Man 3 - terrible terrible terrible

Olympus Has Fallen - action-scene popcorn stuff

3/4 of After Earth (the plane landed and they switched off the movies lol) - better than expected, want to see the end

The Internship - I don't normally like these modern comedies (can't stand Anchorman for example) but the setting made it funny ("...on the line..." lol)

End Of Watch - very very good. I almost had a little sniffle.

EricTheWeary

Moon.
Enjoyable sci-fi but terribly predictable ( seems to share its plot with a better known sci-fi film so entirely without surprise).

Serenity.
Must be about the tenth time I've seen this and I still enjoy it.

holnrew

The Heat, I enjoyed. Sandra Bullock is aging like a good stilton.
This is the End, it was stupid, and I loved it for it.

chillidoggy

"Flight". Thankfully I'm not getting back on a plane for a couple of weeks.

'Rush' 9/10 What a bloody great film, totally engrossing.

Lixarto

"Pacific Rim" - what a pile of shite. Totally without merit.
