Just watched The Avengers, I am actually really impressed. I from the start of seeing the trailer thought it wasn't going to work great with the Loki story. It actually worked quite well, the movie itself wasn't bad either.

9/10 most definitely.

Still got The Raven and another movie.

Just watched Ice Age 4.. it was an OK movie, funny at parts I admit.

Watched Cowboys & Aliens 2 hours ago. I liked it. Not the best one, but it's nice. The guy has a Iron Man- like gun. If something or someone has an Iron Man-made like gun, it is awesome. * Spoiler*: Got sad knowing that Ella and his woman both died.

About acting: Both Daniel Craig and Olivia Wide ate both good actors, so no need to talk about them. Honestly, I don't care about others. They did well, IMO. I don't pay much attention to it, as if someone do it bad, it isn't noticeable for me (well, except for porn, because it had some horrible acting).

Watched The Raven, its pretty good. Its enough to keep you entertained, but they did a good job at capturing the feel of that time they were in. 7/10

The Grey was my other movie. Serious Man Tears were wept, this movie was fantastic.

The part that got me was with the guy in the beginning when liam told him he is going to die. Truth is a ***** and he did the best thing possible. The ending kinda pissed me off.. it shouldn't have ended that way. But it is what it is.

9.5/10. One of the best movies I've seen all year.

1 2 and 3 were worse...

The problem is 4 5 and 6 are quite old. People these days find anything that doesn't have the fast, empty pace of modern films to be boring. SW 4 5 and 6 are story-driven. Films these days are SFX-based, and the rest is a sauce. If it's not a string of fast paced action scenes in a sequence broken only by the occasional dramatic slow motion explosion, people find it boring.

The choreography is achingly slow, though.

Mr Mom? (Had to Google that as i've never seen or even heard of it.)

So, the jury is in on the Jaws Blu-ray release. It was superb! The print quality was so good you wouldn't think for a minute that it's almost forty years old now. I was fully expecting to be disappointed by the trip down movie memory lane but instead enjoyed every minute of it. Richard Dreyfuss in particular put in a great performance. (And thinking back, didn't he star in some great movies in his day?)

Next week: Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Possibly Speilbergs best ever!

Taken 2

Taken 2 has still succeeded in keeping the pace with amazing action stuffs from Liam Neeson, although storyline was nothing new compared to the prequel. Still its kept as fresh with minor changes without spoiling the entire movie, as we see in majority of the sequels. Overall a perfect watchable movie.

Rating: 7.5/10

Matrix Trilogy..

Great article here about the Matrix films, and especially the sequels:

http://www.avclub.com/articles/defending-the-matrix-sequels,63648/

I'm interested to hear what you guys think about this. Were the sequels as bad as they've been made out to be? Were they even necessary, or could they have been done better?

Personally i think the first film was one of the greatest ever made, and the sequels are still not bad in themselves. Could they have been better? Sure. Could they have ever reached the benchmark set by the original and met the viewers expectations? Doubtful.

Your opinions?
[Off-topic] Archer:
That's a great read, and nice to find out that I'm not the only person on the planet that appreciated the sequels.

Let's face it, they were NEVER going to be as good as the first film. That's like comparing The Last Starfighter to The Empire Strikes Back, but I really do enjoy them.

They have left me with questions, but none that concern me too much. And with that in mind, if anyone can adequately explain how Neo can stop the sentinels in the real world (without suggesting a 2nd Matrix) then please do feel free!

Some of you may have heard of the IMDb Top 250 Challenge, whereby you watch every movie on the list within a year. I've decided to do something similar, as a way to ensure that i am amply entertained over the coming months. I'm pretty certain i've seen most of what is on the list at present, but it'll be fun to watch the movies that i haven't, but should have seen. So that's what i am going to do!

To make it easier i've Excel'ed the list and printed a copy to make it easy ticking off the movies as i go. First i have to go through the list and mark off the ones i've already seen, and find out how many there are yet to see.

I've attached the list in case anybody else wants to make use of it.

Edit: Been having a play at the IMDb quiz's found on the Top 250 Page. They're pretty good fun!

Okay.. okay. Don't throw matches on me and let me burn lol.

When I was little my dad and me watched horror movies and of course had nightmares "Mainly Chucky and Jason". Well when I was little I saw a movie called Alien and the other sequels. When you are little you technically don't understand the movie, so its fascinating to recap the movie that scared you ****less right?

Well I downloaded the Alien series a few nights ago and just got around to rewatching them because I never understood the Holy Grail of a Movie so to speak and I've always wanted to revisit the movie anyway.

So I watched 1&2.. don't get me wrong.. they are old and this has nothing to do with the movie. I would prefer actual props still over CGI any day. About.. almost towards the end I kinda went "Eh" shrugged and said its okay I guess. One XenoMorph was lame and slightly predictable. So about maybe 20-24 minutes left I just fast forwarded the movie (sorry).. it was interesting till the end it just I don't know how to explain it honestly. So it was an okay movie.

Then watched 2 a few hours ago and can say that was a lot better.

Probably because how big it was and open compared to 1 I suppose.. the movie was still slightly predictable. And again.. about 34 minutes I fast forwarded it again because it just went completely boring. I just wanted to shut it off. In short this movie was alot better.

I haven't watches three and four but I did hear they weren't the best.

So I'm sorry if anyone likes this series I just don't understand the "Protected"ness of this movie. I mean sure its a classic but nothing about it was special.

Oh well still got Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter to watch.. should be fun lol.

I was 5 when I first watched Alien and remember getting excited when I saw a featurette in 86 for Aliens showing how they filmed the marines entering the colony in the rain, and the med centre face huggers.

You have to care about the characters to get the most from the films.

Ripley's on going struggle against the aliens and the company, the tragedy of getting back to Earth after her daughter had died when she promised to be back for her 10th birthday, the understandable bond she has with Newt.

Hick's heroism and sense of honour, doing the right thing even though it may cost him his life.

Bishop showing more humanity and self sacrifice than most humans, resulting in winning Ripley's respect.

Gorman coming to terms with his failings but in the end risking and ultimately losing his life for a team member.

Alien3 was ruined by production hell, they chose an interesting but impossible to make plot idea (wooden monetary in space) and tried to fit it into the Alien universe which resulted in many directors etc all tweaking it and pushing up the cost so the only choice was release what they could or lose all that money.

The pointless killing of Hicks and Newt alienated many fans (no pun intended), while the actions of the bull/dog burster ruined it for others - if a queen is due to be born then why kill all potential hosts rather than cocoon them in preparation?

The northern English dry humour of the inmate actors shone through a coupe of times but not enough to save such a battered movie.

Resurrection was ruined because they got the timing of Joss Whedon's script wrong (should have been more like the crew in Firefly) and turned the queen into a giant turd.

[Off-topic] withbloodskies:
Yeah I understand, I mean I was born in 1991 and am 21 now. So I suppose being a teenager back when that movie came out might hold something dear I suppose. Newt was cute, if out of any showed the most personality. Ridley you could feel her pain but sometimes it never seemed real. I got the HD Blu-Ray Jaws lined up to watch, I wasn't born when this came out but my mom being from California told me stories of how frightened people were after seeing the movie that beaches were empty for weeks. I watched this when I was little and around the time of being a teenager and from the pictures it looks absolutely amazing.

I did watch Prometheus as well and I did like it but didn't like the characters to well, I was cheering on for charlize to die. Like it was predicable too but the story was nice. You could say, yup he's gonna die, she's next, then him. I honestly could say I was shocked about Weyland on the ship for sure.

Now I kinda wanna see a remake of chucky or an HD remaster. :D

Since this is the "movies" thread I feel like it's worth pointing out that not being invincible has always been important to the whole Spiderman mythos.
