I watched The Descent yesterday. Its a well made horror movie... the plot is good... the acting is good by all the girls... and almost all of them are very good looking. I was planning on a 7-8/10 almost till the end of the movie... and then the sh!t hit the fan!

The protagonist did something which was not at all expected of her character. As if sh!t hitting the fan was not enough, the filmmakers threw bullsh!t towards the fan. I watched the DVD version with has an extended ending, which is lame. I read on the movie's IMDb page that the US release version has a shorter ending. IMO the US release ending would have been a better conclusion.

Final word - 6/10

Lets be honest, what George Lucas knows about star wars could be written on the back of a postage stamp.

Just compare the three that he was barely involved in making (ie the good three we all grew up with) against the three that he was heavily involved with.

"Revenge of the Jedi" is a title our mums (well ok maybe not Dirk's mum due to family links with RotJ) would accidentally come up with, not someone who's supposed to actually be making the film!

He's a hack who hates Star Wars fans because we love the films he didn't want to make (ANH was controlled by the studios and many actors fought with Lucas so that the scenes worked better than he originally wanted, ESB directed by a proper director, likewise with RotJ although Lucas had more influence with that and so we got the Ewoks).

I guess you watched the US release version, in which the film ends with (Spoiler alert):

Sarah coming out of the cave, driving away in on of the SUVs, stopping after some distance and vomiting out of the car's window, when she sits straight, we see Juno (with a bloodied face) sitting on the co-passenger seat. Sarah then lets out a loud scream. The movie ends. If I had watched this version, then I would have been happy with it...

but I watched the extended version having a longer ending.

In the extended version, its shown that she was just hallucinating... God knows since when. The movie ends. This was a huge led down for me along with her attack on Juno and leaving her with the creatures... it seemed so out of her character.

My suggestion for those who haven't seen it, please go for the US release version and not the extended version.

Finally got around watching the over-hyped movie & the song, Frozen & Let It Go.

I must say I wasn't as disappointed as expected.

The song's animation was done brilliantly bringing out the actual meaning of the song. (It's not favorite now, in case you are wondering)

The story was fine, I've always been a sucker for Frost powers (since the age of Diablo 2, oh my Nova sorceress!)

But the excess use of songs instead of simple dialogues ticked me off, specially the Anna/Elsa rhymes in the home & ice castles.

I love animated movies, but I prefer normal dialogues, not rhymes.

I wouldn't have liked a lot, but because of the frost powers, I sat through it all with a smile. 7/10

Yesterday night I could've jumped from a building or played real life gta or drag raced all over the world.

I was so f'ing amped.. xD

All thanks to back to back show of first a bollywood movie "Jai Ho". Basically a story about an ex-army officer for whom going out of the way to help someone is the only way.

Also he had this brilliant ideology that when you help someone, tell them that instead of saying thanks you just help 3 people in life and tell them to help 3 people if they find.

It is full of action and acting good enough to gush blood through your veins.

Next up was the much awaited, Wolf of Wall Street.

I might be the last one to see it here I guess :p

Man oh man, how did Leo not get an Oscar. Those Sttaton speeches by him and is entire goddamn office were so unusually psyched.

Jonah Hill was great too.

[Off-topic] Dirk:
Snowpiercer - Imaginative, fun packed movie with a Terry Gilliam feel to it. (It can't be coincidence that John Hurt's character is called Gilliam). The cast is imaginative too with the likes of Ed Harris and Ewen Bremner, (who i haven't seen since Trainspotting), Captain America himself Chris Evans, and Tilda Swinton who is excellent. Of course it wouldn't be a Joon-ho Bong film without the familiar face of Kang-ho Song too.

Just like Gilliam's masterpiece Brazil, this is a story about a dystopian future. The last survivors of a failed experiment to end global warming all living on a train that never stops. Most are living in squalor but a privileged few live at the front of the train and don't suffer the hardships that the others do.

The film moves along at a good pace and never gets dull. Between the visual imagery and the films inventiveness it's a very enjoyable ride. The camera work and CGI are both great and fit together seamlessly. Overall, i really enjoyed it. 8/10

47 Ronin - Dark, interesting take on the samurai genre. An action/adventure with decent fantasy elements, it feels like a Game Of Thrones version of a samurai flick. The fight sequences and effects are good, the story compelling and it's filled with great action. I was very impressed with the sets and costumes and John Mathieson's cinematography. Director of photography for Gladiator and Kingdom Of Heaven, he does a great job here. 8/10

Night Shyamalan used to make good movies and Unbreakable was one of the best. I liked Signs too and even The Village wasn't too bad, but after that his movies has gotten worse and worse. Unbreakable was where he peaked though and with Bruce Willis starring opposite Samuel L. Jackson, it's a well written, suspenseful thriller.

I thought the acting and dialogue were really poor and the film lacked for strong acting talent. The visual style didn't do it for me either. Some of the action sequences were good though and Eva Green was great as Artemisia, the only character that really stood out to me.

Compared to the original, a very disappointing 6/10.

Actors are perfect, sidenote, in love with Imogen Poots. That british accent swept me off my chair.

The fact that this movie has not used any CGI effects made me think it would have okayish stunts and scenes.

So wrong, the stunts and races are to heart's content!
