I have also viewed all of the Walking Dead so far on Foxtel. Very brutal but a good series. Game of Thrones make it loom like a walknin the park as far as brutality.think positive wrote:Eldest daughters boyfriend is downloading for me onto a USB, just finished 3 seasons of the walking dead he downloaded!

Have enjoyed it so far and look forward to series three next year.
This is shown by HBO in the States and they have some excellent material.
What's the last movie you watched?

I'm planning to see it this week. It sounds like a good movie.mandy wrote:It is, but it isn't if you know what I mean. As a Mum, pack even some more tissues. It will break your heart.think positive wrote:Thanks for the warning, looks goodmandy wrote:I just watched "The Impossible". Based on a true story during the Thailand tsunami with Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor.
Pack the tissues kids, and pack a LOT! I started crying 10 minutes in and continued until the end. I dare anyone not to be touched by this story.

For those intending to go an see Le Miserable, I saw this review this morning and thought I should put it up.
Somehow I think Scott Adams and David would have rather different taste in movies.
http://www.dilbert.com/blog/The movie Les Miserables just won the Golden Globe for best musical or comedy. If you haven't seen this movie, you might be tempted because of its award-winning ways. As a public service, I offer you my review of Les Miserables.
In a pivotal scene in Les Miserables, one of the main characters finds himself in a sewer, up to his nostrils in human waste, with a bullet in his torso, while being pursued by the authorities who have just killed all of his friends. This was my favorite scene in Les Miserables because I could relate to it. Watching that damn movie feels exactly like being up to your nostrils in human waste, with a bullet in your torso, after the government has killed all of your friends. The main difference is that the movie is longer. Much, much longer.
I usually fall asleep during movies. If you put me in a darkened room for more than thirty minutes, it doesn't matter how good the entertainment is; I'll be off to dreamland before the opening credits are done. I tried hard to sleep through Les Miserables but I was continuously thwarted by something they call "singing." This movie was full of singing. And by singing, I mean the sad wailing of filthy, miserable people. If you would like to hear the entire soundtrack of Les Miserables without paying for a ticket, try punching your cat. But whatever you do, don't let your cat watch Les Miserables because that would be cruel. I don't care if your cat shredded your mattress and ate your wedding ring. The punishment would not be proportional to the crime.
Ann Hathaway played the part of a whining, mud-caked, Halloween skeleton who blamed the system for her problems. Typical liberal. Hugh Jackman played Wolverine, I think. I didn't catch a lot of the details because it's the sort of movie that makes your mind try to crawl out of your ear hole in search of anything that isn't the movie.
Les Miserables is such an unpleasant experience that it would make a great practical joke on people you don't like. If you have a coworker that you hate, suggest that he or she should see Les Miserables because it is so awesome. You might need to practice in front of a mirror before you can say it with a straight face. Mention that the movie won several Golden Globes. And be sure to say the movie trailers don't capture the magic of the film. Remember to call it a "film," not a movie, because it sounds more substantial that way. I suspect that 80% of Les Miserables audiences are the victims of this sort of prank. I'm thinking the Golden Globes might be in on the joke too.
If you want to see the best movie of the past year, check out This is 40. Judd Apatow knows how to make a frickin' movie, and this is his best work to date. I laughed so hard at a scene involving a hand mirror that I thought I would need medical attention. Comedies don't usually win the big awards, but this one is a true masterpiece. The writing, directing, and comedic acting are superb.
If you try the Les Miserables practical joke on a friend, let me know how it goes.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I just saw Life of Pi. A lot of people loved the movie for its 3D effects and the story itself, but I was disappointed with it. My reason being that I studied it so much in year 12 and analysed it like there was no tomorrow, that the movie seemed too simplistic for my liking and the themes didn't engage the audience as it did when I read the book.

I thought The Impossible was a very high quality bit of storytelling.
I got a vertigo attack and wanted to vomit part way through, so I was forced to only listen to the second half of it--not because the movie was poor, but because I'm the motion sickness king and it contained scenes which moved faster than turf growing in real time But the first half was very good, and the second half sounded just as good lol.

In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

yesterday i finally watched skyfall
brilliant , but not as good as casino royale (some are calling it best ever?)
that spanish dude was great as the villian, if not a little comical. how awkward was that scene where he was feeling up bond! lol.. just cos you've never seen bond in that situation.
i didnt like the whole "bond is too old, shaky trigger finger etc" twist to the character...
the cinematography was fantastic though..

I watched Django Unchained on the weekend. Really enjoyed it, even if it was a bit long (2 hours, 45 minutes.) Was interesting to see Tarantino playing an Aussie alongside Mick Taylor.
If you're a Tarantino fan, you'll love it. If you're easily offended by senseless and graphic violence, you will not.
8.5/10
