the classic Dr Strangelove deserves a mention in this context

watched Daniel Radcliffe on Graham Norton talking about his new movie Swiss Army Man...and it sounded so freaking awesome I had to watch it.....man....what a great movie! If you like things a little bit offsides and a little bit dark with a great story..brilliant soundtrack and superb acting..then watch it. Paul Dano has his movie moments..and this was up there with "there will be blood"

I'm finding more and more enjoyable (and random) cinematic experiences on YouTube.

 

Lots of foreign movies with sub titles. I like Chinese, Korean, and a DPRK propoganda movie is generally a good laugh (although no laughing matter)

 

Great thing is one can have a look-see and move on quickly if it doesn't look any good. And generally good quality rips.

 

Wouldn't it be great if every movie ever made was on line and freely accessible like this?

Watched Spectre the other night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Then watched Hitman: Agent 47 last night, and I felt it was a bit of a let down, I enjoyed the action scenes though.

 

Edit: Star Wars: The Force Awakens is coming on in a few minutes. Going to be my second time watching it. Anything to do with Star Wars and I'm game.

Yay! The unsung heroes of the MCU returns. I keep forgetting about GotG when I try to wrap my head around all the Marvel chapters and how its all connected. I quickly remembered though, that Benecio del Toro still had one of the infinity stones. Anyways, since everything in the MCU revolves around these stones and it all eventually leads up to the Infinity Wars movies. (ie The Avengers vs Thanos) You'll realise that you really can't give this one a miss like you did with Ant-man. Thanos is a prominent character in GotG. I suspect that this is where Marvel will introduce Adam Warlock too.

Not surprised really. The game was huge. Well. Before it got watered down with all the sequels.

Looks lekker.

So many good movies to look forward to:

 

Doctor Strange reviews are very positive.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will obviously be awesome.

Logan looks like they finally made a good Wolverine movie (though I have to confess, I had to look twice to make sure that was Hugh Jackman and not Mel Gibson).

Since I used to be a big fan of Assassin's Creed I am looking forward to it.

Rogue One should be decent at the very least.

Arrival looks intelligent and Strange Beasts and Where to Find Them looks like fun. 

Monster Trucks and XXX: The Return of Xander look like silly fun.

John Wick 2, The Great Wall and The Dark Tower all will be either loved or hated.

 

And that's just in the next 5 months or so!

At least it is 'proper' Assassins Creed. (The definition of 'proper' covers Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed: Revelations - NOT Assassin's Creed III, Black Flag, etc)

 

On a side note, I still have this version of Brotherhood on Xbox 360 (but with the 3D cover)

When I heard they were doing a sequel I was hoping they weren't just trying to cash in on one of the most iconic films of all time. If I really had to choose one film. My favorite movie of all time. As hard as that may be. Trainspotting would probably be it. I probably watch it 50 times and memorized half of the dialogue. 

 

Never again Swanny. I'm off the scag.

 

Serious?

 

No more Swanny. I'm finished with that shite.

Gonna get it right this time. Sort it out. Get off it for good.

I've heard that before.

 

The Sickboy method?

 

Well it nearly worked for him init?

No he's always been lacking in moral fibre.

 

Well he knows a lot about Sean Connery though.

 

Thats hardly a substitute

Looking forward to this

 

 

Watched this over the weekend and left a bit underwhelmed. I think they could've spent a bit more time with him pre-crash, i.e. get to know the "old" Doctor Strange. Also, his traning montage seemed to be a bit rushed.

 

It would've also been nice to have a quiet character moment between him and the Ancient Once, similar to the way Ra's al Ghul and Bruce Wayne had a fire side chat in Batman Begins. It's an easy way to create depth for their relationship.

 

Still rate it a solid 7.5 out of 10.

Let's just hope enough time has passed that even though it's a sequel, it's as original and as pointed a comment on society as the first one.
